Complete Book of Tarot: The evil kitty myth: keep the cards away from cats because felines act as a drain on psychic ability.
Complete Book of Tarot: How, then, does one master the art of story-telling with the cards? Paul Huson, a recognized expert on the history of tarot, believes that the secret to reading the tarot resides in the person who divines rather than in the cards themselves: ‘As I see it, cartomantic rules and regulations have been cobbled together from a variety of sources, and I hold to the school of thought that the secret of successful divination lies within the diviner. Actually, I believe anyone who wants to read the cards is not only free to, but must evolve a personal method for himself or herself ‘ 26

Tarot Triumphs: When you are learning Tarot, it’s very possible that you’ll ask friends or people you know if they would like to have their cards read. As time goes on, it’s often better to wait until you’re asked, but of course at the start no one will know that you’re available to do this unless you tell them! And actively offering your services (at the beginning, definitely not for money1) can be a useful way of screening out individuals for whom you don’t feel ready or willing to read the cards. You can also phrase your invitation in such a way that you can tackle the kind of reading you feel most confident with, for instance by saying ‘I’m just getting into practice with this, and I’d like to suggest a general reading as to where things stand at present, if that’s OK.’ Or ‘Could you make it a question that is about something specific, but nothing too important to you?’ This way, you are not dealing with life-or-death situations or opening a can of worms by venturing into very sensitive territory.
