5. Processing

Today I worked on my assessment for week 5. I was able to use more of the clairs' and it was great to understand the one clair where I am weak and try to be more aware to use/build trust in this area as I develop.

The person who was my sitter did a tarot reading for me after I had completed my mediumship. When she was finished her reading I gave her a silver coin as I did the first time she did a reading for me. 'Why do you give me a silver coin?' she said. I have the one from the last time you gave me in my tarot card bag.

I replied "I don't know, but I remember my Mum having a reading and the crossing of a silver coin over the tarot to the reader". I'll find out and google it I told her this afternoon.

I then came across the following information on wikipedia after googling - Why give a tarot reader a silver coin? There are many beliefs found within the page below and I hope you enjoy reading about the meaning of coins.

It seems historically that silver coins were given to those people who were of Romani origin when doing a reading.

The section about Japanese coins is true as to this day, Japanese people throw 5 yen (one of their coins with a hole in the middle) into the box in front of the temple. It is seen as a lucky coin in order to make a wish.
