My name is Gypsy Spirit and I have been reading tarot cards since 2011, although I have been told by a few other psychics that I have been reading for five hundred or more years. Sometimes I believe that may be true. I recall my grandmother reading tarot from just a plain deck of cards. My fondest memory of her is when I was about six years old and my parents were going through a divorce, so my mom and I went to stay with my grandmother. It was a warm Saturday afternoon and the old house we lived in was full with friends and family that seemed to be having a little party. I stood away from the crowd watching them drinking and smoking, while I noticed my grandmother, sitting at her large oval shaped table that was draped with a lace tablecloth, reading her cards. I realized all the folks that appeared to be enjoying themselves were waiting to have a tarot reading. That was really my first introduction to tarot. Of course at that age I did not understand completely what was going on, but I knew whatever it was, I wanted in.
My mother had many siblings, which meant I had a lot of cousins. I later learned that many of us are gifted like my grandmother, but I am the only one in the family that uses the gift. This does surprise me, out of over twenty cousins, I am the free spirited, crazy oddball.
My education comes with a background in Psychology and Religion. I worked in many institutions: substance abuse, mental care and group homes for troubled teens. There seems to be a very quick burn out in that profession. I don't really know why I wanted to study world religions. At least while in college, I did not fully understand the reason. Today I understand.
At the time of college and being a counselor, I was very heavily involved in Christianity. By the time I was thirty five, I married someone from church and had a child. My counseling days were over, at least I thought they were. I was married for thirteen years and was so miserable, I gained a hundred pounds. It was towards the end of my marriage that I began to have some amazing dreams. In each dream my husband and I were buying a house. The house from the outside always looked very small, but once we moved in, I would discover all these hidden hallways and extra rooms. Knowing what I know about dream interpretation, when one dreams about a house they are dreaming of themselves. Of course, the hidden hallways that I would discover with extra rooms indicated that I had within me many hidden gifts and treasures. It was just before my marriage ended and I stopped drinking the Christian kool-aid, when one afternoon I was sitting on the couch, looking at my husband and thought to myself, “I know I am supposed to be doing something. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it does not include that man.” Long story short, my husband and I divorced and my spiritual journey began with tarot cards.
I knew I was supposed to be reading tarot cards, but I was confused with fear. Yes, some of that Christian residue was still attached to me. It was one day I was visiting a shop in Asheville, North Carolina and there was a woman sitting at a table reading tarot cards. I walked over to her and expressed how I felt, that I am supposed to be reading the cards but had some fears about it. She looked at me oddly and picked up a card from her deck and said, “This is just a piece of paper. It is just a tool.” At that moment the light bulb came on and a week later I was reading tarot to friends, family and anyone that would let me read for them. Over time I discovered many of my other spiritual gifts and no longer experienced the dreams of the small house with hidden hallways and rooms.
