Oranum

I recently had the opportunity to review this website, Oranum. Oranum, is a website where you can find thousands of psychics, and get personal readings from whichever one you choose.
 I have always been fascinated by psychics, and have read many books, and have had many readings throughout the years. Usually I just get Tarot card readings, but I also have studied iridology, and auras, and have read many books about astral projection. So, this was definitely a project I was thrilled to do. I do want to mention that although my review is not to be on the psychics themselves, but more on the website itself, I want to make note of the fact that I received 2 different readings, from 2 different psychics, that I personally chose, and I am so impressed and satisfied with the results, that I will be keeping my account open and visiting them both again!
I started an account, which was simple, and quick. All you need is your screenname, password and email, and you are set! They will send you a confirmation, you simply confirm, as with any website, and you are ready to deposit funds into your account. It was a painless process, total time from starting a new account to adding funds, 5 minutes. They take major credit cards, and the amount of credits range from $19.99 to $99.99. This transaction is of course, secure, and a receipt is mailed immediately after you complete the transaction. After that, you are ready to choose your psychic!
What I found very cool about this site is that you can read each psychics profiles, and reviews and even have a free chat with them, before you order a private reading, (The psychic of your choice will have their hours of operation listed, and if they are on while you are there, they are on a live webcam!) You can search for psychics by type, and you can search for individual psychics, or you can check out the top rated psychics, and choose from there.
 There are many different types of categories, anything from palm reading, to email readings, (you don't have to talk live with them, you can message and for a reasonable price, $14.99, you can ask for an email reading), to chakra healing, tarot readings, angel cards, dream interpretation, help with love, money, health, the list is endless. It may take a while to rummage through all of the categories and psychics until you find 1 or 2 that stick out for you. The site makes this whole process very easy as well. Each psychic is rated by other users, and they are posted in squares on the website. You can read the first sentence of that persons profile and you can see the star rating they received and the price. They start at 99 cents per minute. If you want to read more, you click on the square and it will take you to their complete profile and all of their reviews, amount of people helped, and they also list any specials they offer, as well as a complete list of their specialties. If that particular psychic is on while you are, you will see a live webcam and you can ask questions, chat with other people in the room, and get to know your psychic before you order! (Please do not ask the psychic questions that have to do with your reading! This is what the private reading is for! Also, there are others in the room, not just you, so you shouldn't ask about personal issues when the whole world can see) I love this feature actually! I spoke with several, and found lots of very interesting people. You can use this to see if you clique with your choice, or not. You can also use this feature to see what they offer, and ask questions about price, specials, and they are also pretty well versed in how to use the website itself. Like I mentioned earlier, I did have 2 seperate readings, both of which I was happy with, and 2 different types of psychics, and 2 different types of readings. For the first I did receive a couple answers to questions and I had a card reading. For the second, I asked to give me details on past lives and how they are affecting my personal life today. Both psychics were very professional, and I gave them both 5 star ratings afterwards. (Please always rate them and you can even choose to share on Twitter and Facebook!)
When you do go into a private reading, they will be on a webcam and will talk, you do not have to have a webcam, unless you want too. Otherwise, you can type like I did. You can also choose to call, or again, choose the email reading. I did see some members asking in different chat rooms, if they could just both type, since some were not able to see or hear the psychic. From what I saw, they all said, sure. I would just personally not choose that, since I would rather get the most out of my time, and typing may be a bit slower then speaking.
I received credit for my first reading as part of this project, The 2nd credit was received by a special the website offers, where you choose a psychic with a clock located inside the square and if you spend at least $19.99 in the room with the psychic, they will credit you $19.99 into your account! This is an ongoing deal, and the psychics that offer this do change from time to time. They also have some neat specials throughout the week. This past week was Halloween of course, and they had some candies hidden throughout the website and if you found them, it credited $5 or $10 into your account! (No, I didn't find even 1 lol) I also had to request help from customer service once, because my credits from the special were not deposited into my account. But I was well taken care of within 12 hours and the credit was deposited! (they do ask for 24 hours, so just in case you ever have to contact them, it may take less or more time then my personal time)
 My only complaint about this website, is that I wish I could have something that tracked my time a little better while in a private reading. With both of my readings, there was only a box above the psychic, when my account hit a minute worth of credit. In both readings, I wish I would have known well before the minute. After my few days of visiting several psychics, and using as much of the site as I could, I am very pleased with Oranum.com.

The True Nature of Tarot by Diane Wing

I always had a set of Tarot cards, ever since I was maybe 13 years old. Maybe I couldn't read them to good, but I sure did try:) I read what all the cards meant, what they stood for, bought books at the mall bookstore about them, (we didn't have internet and things available back then:)and apparently made the mistake of taking them to school one day. My English teacher saw them, and threw a fit, branding me a "witch", and it went downhill from there. (In her class at least)
I always had a serious problem with people who would label, chastise, and publicly humiliate others, just because they have no idea what they are talking about. I thought maybe I would take it upon myself to open up her eyes by doing a book report on a book about Tarot, well, that didn't go over to well.
Fast forward to present day, I've been a mom, and a bartender now for 20 years, more recently became a "blogger" and I still have many interests, some of which of course may not be considered "normal", even though to me, they are. (I also have an issue with the word "normal", at least when discussing a person, personality, behavior, etc.) But, what is different then when I was young, is people tend to be a little more open about things, maybe they learned from books, the interent, friends, movies, not real sure. But, not everybody is as "scared" as they once were about the unknown anymore.
I was more then thrilled to receive, The True Nature of Tarot, by Diane Wing, M.A, to review. I immediately went upstairs and grabbed my deck of Rider Waite Tarot cards, and started a refresher course until Diane's book arrived. Of course the kiddos were asking questions, mainly, "OOOHHH!! Can we play??", so it was fun to explain what the cards were for, and the conversation led to a chance to get a mini lecture in about karma, treating others how you would like to be treated, and so on. So, that was fun!
As soon as i received her book, I paged through it, and noticed her website on the back. www.ForestWitch.com, which is a very fascinating website and you will get lost there, somewhere!! The graphics and design are stunning and there is so much information, you will have hours of searching, reading, and information to get through!!
Ok, so back to The True Nature of Tarot, I have had quite a few books about Tarot in the past, and some were easier to understand then others, but this is the book I wish I would have had years ago when I first started having an interest!! Diane, explains everything so well, in plain old English, everything you need to know!
My favorite part of her book, is the section where she has pictures of each card, and details each one in very easy to comprehend language!!
Other key sections in this book include, become an expert at grounding and centering to maximize your energetic stability on a daily basis, learn how to develop your own style of reading tarot, how to choose your deck, learn how a reading is experienced from the perspectives of both the reader, and the inquirer, and how to discover ways to increase the amount of information pulled from the tarot.
This is the perfect choice if you are interested in learning, or have been studying, or even if you have been doing readings for some time. She has a few chapters about ethics, the truth about Tarot, grounding techniques, and several layouts. You really won't have to buy another book!!

Diane Wing, has over 25 years experience as a Tarot reader, among other things. She is an extraordinary person, with much to offer!
