Readings come in all ‘shapes and sizes’, with psychic Tarot and psychic crystal readings being two of the most popular methods used by enthusiasts in the field of the paranormal. Each one has its particular quirks and benefits, so if you are in the market for a reading, shop around. By gathering information, you can decide for yourself which type of reading best suits your current situation.
Psychic Tarot Readings
There are hundreds of different Tarot decks in existence, though the most recognizable is the Rider Waite deck. If you are familiar with the imagery of this deck, you may find it interesting to get a reading from cards that are very different. Some readers have more than one deck available, and may offer you the choice, or they may feel more comfortable using a certain deck, based on the purpose of your visit. You should trust their judgment.
From the onset of your reading session, you should be honest and upfront with your reader, and make clear the reason why you need their service. Being coy or cynical, expecting your reader to guess because they are psychic, is not the best way to get an accurate reading. A good psychic Tarot reader uses the cards as tools but must usually glean some information from you once the spread is in place.
Once you have stated your questions or intention, the reader will shuffle and lay out the Tarot cards. There exists various ways to spread the cards, and different methods of reading them. Many experienced readers use the intricate 13-card Celtic Cross spread, but may utilize another type of formation when simpler questions warrant a less complex spread.
Each card has its unique meaning, and where each card falls within the spread gives additional significance to your reading. How the cards inter-relate to one another also adds an aspect to the reading; hence, it can take a few minutes before your reader has something concrete to convey to you. Depending on their personal style, readers may give you an overview of the spread to answer your specific question, or analyze each card individually in order to better explain to you how they relate to your circumstances. Feel comfortable to request clarification and ask questions until you reach a certain level of satisfaction.

Psychic Crystal Readings
Compared to Tarot readings, crystal readings are slightly less common though no less powerful with a gifted reader. There are different kinds of psychic crystals, one of which being the amethyst, and various ways to use them, but a crystal ball is the method most people are familiar with. Unlike what you have probably seen in movies, it is unlikely that you will perceive images in the crystal during your reading session – only your reader can interpret whatever manifestations might occur. The crystal is used as a way to focus psychic impressions, and the "images" are really only seen in the mind's eye of the reader.
Psychic crystal readings require more intuition from the reader than psychic Tarot card readings because the imagery is typically ambiguous and elusive compared to the clear-cut pictures provided by the cards. Readers must use their skills to draw out conclusions. And although it may be more difficult for you to take part in a crystal reading because you cannot see what the reader sees, it can be a better choice as the reader is not limited by the nature of the cards; hence, a crystal reading may offer a broader range of answers for you.
