Caution Regarding Divinatory Readings

AvatarHigh Priestess Lydia Coventina3 min to read

Many people in the world have caused ruin to their lives from incorrect interpretations of divination readings (tarot, astrology, tea leaves, dream interpretation, etc).

The reason why? A lot of people, especially non-Zevism, who offer these readings are not at a high level of awareness or wisdom. And people get readings from them thinking (or at least hoping) these people have true insight.

Regarding tarot specifically, each card has many meanings – beneficial, malefic, and neutral. It isn’t as straightforward as astrology. A reading might seem fun when you first get it, but then what, if the interpretation turns out to be inaccurate and influenced you to make a mistake in life?

Many times when people are new to tarot (or other forms of divination), they get some accurate answers and think they have the swing of things, then start offering readings to others, not understanding that they can seriously affect someone’s life. It takes years of practice, observation and note-taking, trial and error and fact-finding, to become adept. You also need insight and understanding of life, human nature, spirituality, growth and development.

Giving a disclaimer to the person you offered a reading to, expecting them to use their “inner wisdom” (many people don’t even have this) to make the correct choice, isn’t enough. It doesn’t wash your hands of responsibility. Many people are too trusting, and will make decisions based on stunted or warped interpretations of the reading.

So to those of you who go to others for readings, don’t rely 100% on it. Use it as a guide, not as a rule. And be careful. I went for a reading in-person one time, the tarot reader was an adept psychic vampire. Many professional occultists are psychic vampires, or have a warped sense of spirituality. Many of them don’t actually want to help you, they want you to become dependent on them to keep paying their bills. Always be alert.

And to those who want to offer readings to other Zevism, my advice is to not do this until you have been advancing yourself enough first. If you’re confused about yourself and/or can’t even properly understand the ToZ, then how can you offer true divination for other members here? A lot of people do not understand the impact a reading can have on someone. This impact can be for positive… or for negative. You need to understand the power and influence you have, or appear to have, because many people are desperate for any sort of guidance or hope. This is not a joke.

On a final note, nobody is permitted to publicly charge for readings here on the ToZ, unless you are verified and approved by Clergy. Even publicly offering free readings is on the boundary, because of the impact an incorrect reading can cause. (If you want to start your own personal online, or in person, business then that is your own business.)

In the (hopefully near) future, the ToZ will have verified experienced tarot readers, astrologers, and more, to help our members :)

Bruh you so angry about "being handled like a child" and than you start acting like one.

Get yourself together, you are not a child who was prevented from going outside in the rain or something.

Your comments were deleted because divination is an extremely advanced things if done right especially for others, as HPS Lydia explains. We don't need people to be mislead. Not to mention how we are the worst beings in the world suddenly. Your words are way more inappropriate than what have been done to you which was actually appropriate from an outside view.

First try to predict your own future. If you can do it accurately for many, MANY times, you can start doing it for your friends or something, but officially for Zevism, it's a longer road than just few years.

You might want to look into joining Cfecit's "I Hate Lydia" club.

I was thinking that asking about something about you're confused about like your professional future like I did can cause problems if you let yourself be influenced by that reading and miss out on opportunities that might be more suitable if your circumstances change after a few years.

Thank you for this post. I purchased tarot cards for my own use. Indeed, my first readings (very simple, how is my week going to go) were accurate, but when I wanted to ask something serious (about my relationship with X person), I hesitated.

I'm afraid I'll be influenced by my own reading regardless of whether it's right or false.

How can we practice tarrot readings without getting influenced by them?

For my animated meditation videos visit my YouTube channel!

Destruction and Creation are in your hands as they are Mine. Do not be afraid to do these things. Until the time comes where these things have found more peaceable means you must keep the Earth in balance.

I usually do my own readings. I don't do other people's . what like about tarot is learning the cards real well
Where you understand the
The cards and Thier meaning

...It was deleted after he proved himself to be too immature to handle influencing the fate of other Zevism.

We have had members in the past who mislead (either on purpose or not) other members to think they have been approved by the JoS to do readings...

I know this is a few months late but I've been pretty inactive of late, I hope you don't mind me basically bumping this thread.
As a tarot reader myself, may I ask exactly what happened here? Was this to do with what you warned me about early on in my thread I posted?

One might see me posting on the forums offering tarot readings, naturally people cannot improve without experience. And you cannot gain experience in any kind of divination without directly interacting with people. However Lydia's advice here is correct and I completely understand - take all divination offered to you, including mine, with a grain of salt, and only take what make sense to you.

No worries :)

There was a member who was still too new and inexperienced who started offering readings, and then he wrote a post with his prices he would be charging. He didn't even ask to be verified by HP Zevios, just went ahead and started advertising his business after doing only a few readings here.

This is not meant to insult that member, just to make it clear that anyone who wants to do divination for other Zevism members needs to be more professional and mature.

This is the targeted message.

I do wonder, why are "Guests" allowed here, with their inane prattling and all...

00) "dubito, ergo cogito" - Rene Descartes. Doubt, but think. And do research
0) If you seek validation of your delusions - you won't find it here.
1) "I believe that XYZ." - Irrelevant. Study https://templeofzeus.org/ and KNOW. Slaves believe - they don't know.
2) 'xianity', not 'xtianity' - 'christ' = x, not 'chris', AND "Gods", not "God's", "chakras" not "chakra's" if plural.
3) If someone appears to be new, it doesn't mean they have no agenda. Slander veiled as an 'innocent' question, or 'just my opinion' is still slander.
4) Look how beautiful and logical the bible / quran is!
5) Trolls think they can't be exposed - those idiots expose themselves. Another name of Zeus is Satya - Truth

6) serpentwalker666's post from 22.02.25: "People be like... "We want Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Babylon again" / *Joy of Satanas becomes the Temple of Zeus and starts to expand and take on the endeavor of the ancient restoration of the full spectrum of knowledge and divine culture of the gods* / People be like: "Wait what are you doing?" / Us: "Isn't this what the goal was all along?""
-ask yourself: if you find the above weird, doesn't it mean you have got stuck too much in the cults of yehubor?
