As a reader, I get so horrified and angry when someone comes to me and asks if I could confirm that "there's been a curse put on them" as another 'reader' had recently told them. Of course, the "so-called reader" then offers to remove it for a fee--usually anywhere from $200.00-$5,000.00!! (the ranges mentioned to me) After I try to reassure the person with the facts regarding their "curse," (see below), I plead with them to go to the police. Notice that I used the word "try" in that sentence. Unfortunately, these people normally will NOT go to the police for several reasons. "Why," you may ask? I'd like to try to answer this question based on my observations.........
I hope I helped explain how and why a person can be taken in by an unscrupulous reader.
Now...For those who believe that curses are REAL, I'm going to assume that you are right since the truth is that I cannot prove or disprove something that's unseen! Having worked in a metaphysical shop, I have done a lot of reading on the subject, including books that teach you how to use curses and/or spells. I also happen to have a few Wiccan friends who work positively with energy every day. These sources have taught me that "curses" are nothing more than energy, which has been manipulated to perform what, and where, the intended wishes.
I learned from these same sources--and also from science--that although energy cannot die or be destroyed--it can be transformed! Yes, this does explain why curses or spells can be created (and possibly why tarot cards work)--but it also tells us that our intent can direct that same energy away from ourselves! For this reason, NEVER, NEVER, pay anyone to take a "curse" off of you--that person cannot do anything you can't do yourself.
But more importantly, I hope you see that a tarot reading is just that--a tarot reading! That's what you're paying the reader for! It should NEVER result in our fears being exploited.
