Eight of Coins - Apprenticeship

What does it take to be a successful Tarot reader? A lot of people would tell you that it takes compassion and a sincere desire to help people. That might be what it takes to be a responsible Tarot reader, but to make money as a Tarot reader, all you really need is a good imagination, a knowledge of human nature, and a deck of cards. People come to a reader because they need to talk about themselves. If you can tell them wonderful stories on that subject, they'll leave happy. If you can tell them wonderful stories that have a chance of coming true, they'll come back over and over again.
