Laughter is the Key

21. September 2011 · 1 comment · Categories: blog · Tags: , , , ,

Tarot Jay asked me a great question (and won a free copy of The Reluctant Tarot Reader!):

‎”I really enjoy your sense of humor, Raven. What do you see as the role of humor in Tarot reading and other healing work that you do?”

Humor is everything. It breaks down walls, softens resistance and helps me connect to my client in a gentle place. Laughter is a fabulous reminder for healers to not. take. themselves. so. seriously.

Giggling is a most potent elixir.

One of my favorite essays from The Reluctant Tarot Reader is “The Only Answer to Our Self-Righteousness is Laughter”. This expands on my view that laughter is the only thing needed to help us enjoy this place. Everything else naturally follows.

So, for you, dear reader . . . enjoy!

Well, I couldn’t stop reading TRTR and just finished it. Wow. Thank you for sharing your story. From the heart and full of insights and wisdom and honesty and universal truth. I loved every word of it and am sad that it’s over. Same way I felt after listening to the last episode of Tarot Talk. Raven, never stop sharing your gifts. ~Trish Moreno, CEO of Little Giraffe

There is a need for this book, and as such it will find its way into every nook & cranny of the ‘verse. ~Pip, As You Wish

 

Raven Mardirosian once dreamed of being a missionary. A veterinarian. An English teacher. All respectable careers. How did she end up being a full-time Tarot reader?

The Reluctant Tarot Reader: Adventures in the Gypsy Trade is a bracingly honest, unvarnished view into the often mysterious auras of psychics, healers and Tarot readers — straight from an insider.

Part memoir, The Reluctant Tarot Reader takes a no-holds barred look at the wild world known as the metaphysical biz — as well as learning to embrace one’s gifts, however reluctantly.

Split into four sections — Birth, Heal, See, Love — for a total of 78 vignettes, TRTR offers real-life, compelling stories such as, “Past Lives and Fluttery Hearts (2001)”, “My Angels Prefer Harleys”, “Steps To Being A Powerful Woman”, and “Secrets from the Psychic World”.

If you’ve ever wanted more than just a glimpse into the life of a Tarot reader, The Reluctant Tarot Reader is your very own crystal ball.

 

How does one go from being a fundamentalist Christian to a full-time Taroist?

It’s guaranteed to be anything but a smooth path.

I LOVED TRTR! It was brilliant, funny, honest and down to earth. So much of what you wrote really struck a chord with me, light bulbs kept flashing in my head as things you talked about clarified my own stuff. It was like I sat down and listened to you all day, got a peek at all that wisdom you have. I am so glad you wrote this and shared it with the world. This “baby” of yours is fantastic. I could go on for days over each page, telling how wonderful it was or how much it really touched me or how much I learned but I’ll reign myself in and say…delicious it was and I ate up every word as quickly as I could, hence finishing in a day! ~ Heather K.

“My Anger Wears a Black Hoodie” is a great piece of writing. I can so relate. Pick up Raven’s new book! ~ Shakowihe S.

I finally had the space to sit down and begin my copy…3 hours later ( I am a fast reader) I closed the final page….!…TRTR flowed as if I was sitting across a table from you Raven, with a big cup of tea and you were not-so-simply telling me your story…conversational easy style, full of deep wisdom and metaphor…just wonderful! ~kerin rose 

Thanks for buying TRTR. 100% of the profits support my full-time healing work.
