Reply #2: I have refused to read for people.

[davsand]

Usually it has been people that I know TOO much about already. I just HATE to read for friends because if I know someone too well it colors my perceptions in the reading.

To give an example, if you have a buddy that has had a LOT of issues with his/her mom it can be really easy to look at a Queen that comes up in a reading and see it as "the Mom" rather than being open to all the other stuff that can be carried or implied by a Queen in a Tarot spread.

Is it possible this is what is going on here?

Something that also comes to me is the question of what is her tradition? Is it possible that she doesn't feel comfortable with what she presumes are your interests (based on your purchase of reading materials and supplies?) We have folks even here at DU who are quite open about the fact that they are ____(insert tradition here)___ and they have no desire to deal with ____(insert some other tradition here)_____. Most of them don't hang out here in this forum, happily...

Now, I doubt this has anything to do with your situation, but I did refuse to read for a guy one time because he creeped me out SO bad that I didn't even want to talk to him, let alone establish any kind of bond. He felt "icky" to me and I learned a LONG time ago not to ignore that kind of red flag.

Like I said--I do not think this is what is going on with your situation, but if I'm being honest, I have to admit that I have refused to read for someone based purely on my gut reactions. Yes, I can be a stone bitch sometimes. :)

I agree with the suggestion that you simply ask her what's up. It may be some mundane thing that has nothing to do with you. If that is the case I bet she'll tell you.

Good luck, and I'm gonna be wondering about it now!
