There’s nothing wrong with reading for yourself, or asking a friend who has a deck or two to pull a couple of cards for you when you’re at an impasse.

In an era when everyone and their cat seems to have a deck, or five, lying around, it might seem like paying for a reading is a waste of time and money. Why make the investment when you, or a friend, can read your own deck(s) for free?

As with anything, there’s a time and place for Do-It-Yourself versus asking for some professional help.
