Another reason I don't use tarot cards or other tools in my readings and healings:

When I was a child, the sole part of me that was valued was my mind (not my curious mind, but good grades and high aptitude scores).  I began to focus on that part of me and to gradually hide the rest to avoid punishment and ridicule at home and to receive “safety” and acceptance in school.

I became so accustomed to favoring this rational, thinking part of me that later in college my best friend rolled her eyes and said, “You analyze everything!”  Because she was a math major, I thought she was kidding. She wasn’t. It drove her crazy when I analyzed everything.  I had clearly overcompensated!

So, though I know a lot about astrology and a fair amount about numerology, palmistry, and the like, I do not get intuitive leaps when I look at them, but stay with the facts. Hence, my reading style - which at my very first psychic fairs (in ’79 and ’80) I learned to call “straight psychic”, which at that time meant using no tools.
