I AM WRITING THIS BOOK FOR YOU, A LOVER OF THE MYSTERIES. My own life transformed when I learned to read cards at the age of 15. Now I would like to teach you the simple yet remarkably powerful approach to card reading called the Royal Method. Using an ordinary deck of playing cards, you can obtain on-target guidance for yourself and others, even if you've never thought you were psychic. The down-to-earth symbols offer specific answers to the questions in your heart! In this step-by-step guide, I introduce you to each Queen, King, Jack, and number of our royal court and share the exciting messages they bring you. I tell you true stories from my 50 years of card reading and offer you tips for avoiding mistakes I have made. Perhaps you have stuggled in the past trying to find direction from abstract, esoteric symbols. You will surely appreciate our friendly Royal Method and the positive, actionable advice it gives! If you fall in love with the Royal Method as I did, you may want to begin reading cards for clients. I have provided detailed steps on how to set up your card reading business. How much should you charge for a reading, and by what means will you accept payment? Will you offer only in-person readings or conduct remote sessions via the telephone, video conferencing, or online messaging? How can you promote your practice and let people know about your amazing skills? I offer detailed instructions for advertising your work, including specific ideas for launching campaigns on social media. After all, you deserve to receive awesome pay for awesome service! The more people who know about your inspiring card readings, the more joy will come into the world. I mean that. The soul needs times and places to touch the Mysteries, to commune with sources of guidance beyond the ordinary, to feel our unity with a Consciousness greater than our own. Metaphysical practitioners like yourself open the gates to these experiences. I hope you feel proud to carry on our ancient lineage!
