If we start tracing the history of psychic readings, it goes back centuries, if not millennia. It spans across the geolocations, cultures, and belief systems such as religions. Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese and Greeks are the most prominent cultures that have practiced divination.
When it comes to these readings, there is no type in practice. Instead, it’s a culmination of different forms that make this paradigm so interesting and controversial at the same time. The modern-day audience has adopted the digital version of this practice as you. You can now get a free psychic reading online anytime you want, from the comfort of your home.
In this post, let’s explore the types of psychic readings that exist today and what they entail.
Tarot Card Readings
Perhaps the most commonly practiced psychic readings. A Tarot reader typically uses a deck of 78 cards with symbolic imagery to gain insights into various aspects of life. Clients ask specific questions and receive interpretations based on the cards drawn.
Online tarot readings follow the same process. But instead of a Tarot reader, an automated system draws the cards and interprets the meaning. On most platforms, you’ll find tips to follow before drawing the cards to make the reading as accurate as possible.
Angel card readings are somewhat similar to Tarot card readings. The readers use decks with angelic imagery to provide guidance, support and messages from angels, and spirit guides.
Astrology Readings
While many of you may disagree that Astrology is not a psychic practice, we beg to differ. If you break it down, you’ll notice that astrologers create and analyze birth charts based on the positions of celestial bodies at the time of an individual’s birth. The goal is to outline the future events the individual may go through during the span of their life.
Similarly, online astrology readings can provide insights into personality traits, life events and potential challenges.
Numerology is a distant cousin of astrology. Numerologists analyze the significance of numbers in a person’s life, including their birthdate and name, to provide insights into personality traits, life paths and compatibility with others.
Crystal Ball Readings
Also known as crystal gazing or scrying, this is perhaps the most used form of psychic reading in popular culture. Interestingly, it’s fairly common in the real world as well. If we have to guess, directors and screenwriters draw inspiration from the real world to show us the practice on screen.
Essentially, some psychics use crystal balls or other reflective surfaces to induce visions and gain insights into a client’s life or answer specific questions.
They may also start gazing into the crystal ball without any particular question or intent. Apparently, it allows their mind to wander and receive impressions. As they relax and clear their thoughts, images, symbols, or visions may start to appear.
Mediumship
Online psychic mediums claim to communicate with the spirits of deceased individuals and relay messages from the spirit world to their clients. This type of reading is often sought for connecting with loved ones who have passed away. Needless to say, grieving people are the biggest target audience for this kind of reading.
Unfortunately, this is where a big chunk of the scams happen. People who lost a loved one recently are typically vulnerable, which makes it easier for scammers to capitalize on their grief. According to Dallasnews.com, it’s also one of the cheapest forms of online psychic readings, making it accessible to any uninformed party.
Other Types of Psychic Readings
Besides the forms we discussed in this post, there are clairvoyant readings, clairaudience readings, energy healing, runes readings, tea leaf readings, dream interpretations, remote viewing, etc., that you can go for when looking into online psychic readings.
