Hello SoM community ^-^ I have been inactive for awhile on this site, but decided it would be best to return. I've been reading up and practicing on Cartomancy, and wish to practice it on some willing lovely beings!
In case you don't know, Cartomancy is basically like tarot, but with a set of ordinary playing cards. I have a little guide in a witchcraft book to help me decipher sometimes. I don't have a tarot deck at the moment, so I am using this as a substitute.
Note: I am a beginner, like many other people! Be wary of mistakes. But without further ado...
Send me your first name, Date of Birth and a type of reading you would like to have through mail. (Celtic cross, past/present/future, etc.)
It would also be helpful to state what KIND of reading; whether it be love, luck, wealth, general, I don't mind.
Also, if your profile picture is a picture of you, or you have one in your pictures, that would be useful to better connect with you. But it is optional and not needed.
I'm sorry, I talk/write too much.
I know how much you guys love getting your fortune told; so I might as well help you out.
I'll answer them all (hopefully) by Sunday, so start sending me some mail. ^-^

Whoever wrote that "witchcraft" book about playing cards, was certainly no witch.And knew nothing of witchcraft.This sort of author gives witchcraft a bad name.
I'm sorry you feel that way, Brysing. But perhaps I've written it wrong? The book isn't on Cartomancy, but it has a small section that tells you how to use a playing card set in place of a Tarot deck, because at the moment, I cannot afford one. (It's harder when you're a teenager, too.)
Also, the book is called ;
"The Teen Book of Shadows, Star Signs, Spells, Potions and Powers" By Patricia Telesco.
Your words sound a little harsh to me, which truth be told made me a bit upset. But everyone I've read so far has told me I've done a good job doing so, so honestly it doesn't matter now.
There's a load off my chest! In honesty I had received the book and a couple similar ones as a gift, which all seemed to have minimal reviews in websites like Amazon. That actually makes me ponder a bit because I didn't know there were any false writers out there in terms of witchcraft.
I think I'll keep an eye out now. Blessings!

You must remember that books mainly are published for profit. But there are quite good books out there.Any book by Gerald Gardner,
Doreen Valiente, Alex Sanders, Maxine Sanders, Janet & Stewart Farrar, will be fine, and accurate.They write about Wicca.
There are some good books on Witchcraft, but I can't recall the titles just at present. My old witch teacher told me to write this in my notebook:-
"Don't believe all you hear! Don't believe all you read! And only believe half of what you see!"
Always be a little cynical! Blessings to you also.
