THE BLURB:
How One Professional Reader Has Set Himself Apart From The
Rest of the Pack... And How You Can, Too.
----------------------------------------------------------
I've always been fascinated by readers and psychic
consultants who are able to develop their own style, oracle,
and mythology; without fail, it sets them apart from the
stereotypical reader with a deck of Tarot cards, and it goes
without saying that they are remembered by even the most
casual of customers.
A case in point is a woman in my area who has been working
professionally for more than 20 years. She is, technically,
a channeler, but her public appearances have all the
characteristics of the traditional Q&A act -- people ask
questions, and she answers them. One of the intriguing
aspects of her presentation, however, is where she gains her
insights -- her method is to go into a trance and contact
her spirit guide... who happens to be an extraterrestrial
who at one time walked this earth as a 9th century knight.
Not to belabor the point, but she's been working...
professionally... for more than 20 years.
The question each of us must ask ourselves is this: "How do
I distinguish myself from every other reader out there?"
The Answer
Readings with Spirit Cards is a guide to constructing and
using a special pack of cards for giving readings. It is
intended as a set of guidelines and suggestions to open up
your own creativity more so than a set of rigid
instructions; think of it as a recipe for more powerful
readings. Like any good recipe, every creative reader will
be able to recognize the flexibility and modify it to suit
their own individual taste, which, in my mind, is the sign
of a good system. And you never know -- you may find that
you, too, have a 9th century extraterrestrial spirit guide.
While the seasoned reader will note that many of the ideas
have been in circulation for a while, that's kind of like
saying that all the components of the light bulb existed
long before Thomas Edison had his bright idea. John has
combined them into a very effective oracle with an emphasis
on the art of Hoodoo that has great potential.
"What reader wouldn't want a truly one-of-a-kind pack of
cards
that could speak to them from the spirit world?"
Indeed.
As John states in the book's introduction, "Use this
information carefully, guard it well, and you will be
rewarded."
A Spirit Pack Is Born...
Because John teaches you how to create your own personal
pack of Spirit Cards, it will become a natural extension of
you and your unique style. I think it's safe to say that no
two packs of Spirit Cards will be the same.
What will your clients see? Regardless of how detailed you
want to get, they will see you delivering readings with a
unique set of cards that no other reader has, covered with
signs, sigils and symbols that may (or may not, depending on
you) have been communicated to you by forces beyond our
ordinary world.
Hidden in plain sight, of course, within the fascinating
signs and symbols is the secret (but easy to use) cue system
that makes it a snap to deliver a reading easily for each
card. John shares his own personal background and interest
in the art of Hoodoo, as well as the process by which he
developed the Spirit Card system. Also revealed is the
mnemonic cue system he uses, plus other components that you
may want to use while creating your own unique set of Spirit
Cards.
The Real Key
While closely following the instructions contained in
Readings with Spirit Cards will provide you with a
custom-made set of cards with which you will be able to
deliver powerfully meaningful readings, the real key lies in
the perception your clients walk away from the table with.
Understand that many of your clients have had Tarot,
palmistry, numerological and a host of other types of
readings before they even meet you. While these are all
viable systems (which I use to this day), it goes without
saying that the reading that will stick in the mind of the
client is the one that they have not seen before. Hence, the
Spirit Cards.
Here's what Richard Webster has said about the Spirit Cards:
"...I'm delighted you're publishing Readings with Spirit
Cards. When John first sent it to me several months ago I
immediately made up a set of cards, and have had a great
deal of fun with them. People love the designs on the cards,
and have no idea they're receiving a card reading."
Did you catch that last bit? "...People... have no idea
they're receiving a card reading" -- the one-of-a-kind
symbols and signs displayed on each Spirit Card seem to move
the reading into another realm well beyond that of the
typical reading.
There is a lot of information in this book, including...
� How to make your own unique set of Spirit Cards
� The complete code system
� Two methods of tying your Spirit Cards to the Tarot system
� The reading procedure
� The perfect spread to use
� The Face Cards
� Giving readings with the Spirit Cards
� Alternate realities
� A sample reading
In addition, John talks about how to present yourself as a
reader, why you don't necessarily have to get 'hits'
(although you most certainly will, of course), and --
perhaps most importantly, the power of both the Spirit Cards
and you, the reader.
"A fun and clever system for sure... I especially liked his
ideas concerning the Elian script stuff. Hoodoo certainly is
catching on these days (again) and this book is a valuable
addition to installing the 'old age' as opposed to the 'new
age' folk magic into the world of cold reading."

A Cartomancer's Chapbook
Readings with Spirit Cards assumes that you are a somewhat
experienced card reader. For those who are not, however, a
basic introduction to cartomancy is provided. The section
titled, "A Cartomancer's Chapbook", includes everything
needed for you to give a complete reading with not just the
Spirit Cards, but any cards you might care to use. Here are
some of the topics covered:
� Why give readings?
� Why cards?
� Why/how readings work
� The Suits
� The Court Cards
� The ten numbers
� The spread
� Forming a narrative
� How to give a good reading
� Your two most important tools
� Interpreting the cards
� The Full Deck of Fifty-two: Mode and Meaning
� About intuition
And as if all of that weren't enough...
Special Bonus Report: The Conjure Man's Seeing Stones
While developing the Spirit Cards reading technology, John
tried several alternative possibilities. As noted above, one
of the strengths of the Spirit Cards system is its
flexibility, and the Conjure Man's Seeing Stones are an
excellent example of that flexibility.
In this special bonus report, John outlines what has become
his favorite application of the Spirit Cards system --
lithomancy (readings with small stones) -- and shares how he
uses his set of thirteen stones in such a way that they work
as a full deck of 52 cards in the context of a reading.
In effect, with the addition of this special report, you are
actually getting TWO reading oracles that could very well be
used in conjunction with each other for full-length (i.e.,
higher-priced) readings, PLUS the insight and experience of
a seasoned professional.
MY COMMENTS:
Readings with Tarot cards, or even regular playing cards,
tend to be a stigma to some, in terms of to both the readers
and the clients. However, handmade cards with doodles on
them don't have that baggage. What John Wellington Wells
has done is to create a system for creating one's own cards,
but thanks to the clever design ideas, one is actually
giving cleverly disguised playing card readings.
In brief, there are twenty-three cards. Twenty of these
cards cover the ace through ten. Each card, depending upon
how its dealt, can represent the four different suits. The
remaining three cards cover the three court cards and each
one of them, like the other cards, can represent each of the
four suits depending upon how it's dealt.
The Spirit Cards themselves are given names, much like Tarot
cards, but these are names that are easily customizable so
that they are unique to your deck. Wells provides you with
some of the names he chooses but advises one to come up with
their own names, which I'll certainly advocate, too. In
fact, most of the symbols and designs on each card should be
unique to the creator and not copied exactly from what Wells
includes in the book.
This 86 page downloadable PDF contains all of the info you
need to create the cards and perform readings with them.
Wells also provides meanings to playing cards, for those who
need them. Also, as the blurb points out, there is a bonus
report which is a really great idea in a 4-page PDF that
explains how to add stones, or gem reading to the Spirit
Cards reading.
By making one's own deck of Spirit Cards, by definition, the
cards will become unique and set one apart from other
readers. It may take awhile to actually make the cards, and
I think it's reasonable to assume that one may need to make
several drafts of some of them, but once completed, the set
will become invaluable. I'm very excited about this idea
and am waiting for the time that I can actually sit down and
create my set. This is definitely recommended for anyone
who does readings and highly recommended for anyone who is
looking to do unique readings.
