Why Are Your Tarot Reading Prices Higher Than Others I Have Seen?

Higher Than Others? Let Me Explain!

This week, I received an inquiry from someone questioning why our tarot reading prices were higher than others they had seen online. At first, I was taken aback because I know our rates are actually quite competitive – and often lower – compared to many professional tarot readers in the industry. I know what our competitors charge.

But then it clicked. The person had been looking at listings offering tarot readings for as little as a dollar. Suddenly, everything made sense.

So, Why Are Those Readings So Cheap?

The answer is straightforward: those ultra-cheap readings are generated by artificial intelligence (AI). While AI has its place in the world – streamlining tasks, analyzing data, and even creating art – it falls short when it comes to tarot readings.

Tarot is an intuitive, deeply personal practice that requires empathy, insight, and a human connection. AI, no matter how advanced, cannot replicate the nuance, intuition, or emotional depth that a skilled human reader brings to the table.

At our practice, every single reading is conducted by either Charis or me. Whether it’s a live phone session or an email reading, we pour our energy, intuition, and expertise into each one. We don’t rely on pre-written templates or algorithms. Every reading is crafted from scratch, tailored to the individual seeking guidance. This level of care and personalization is why our prices reflect the value of our service.

Is It Worth Getting a Reading Done by AI?

In my opinion? No. Absolutely not. Here’s why:

1. Lack of Human Connection: AI is, at its core, a computer program. It operates on binary code – ones and zeroes. It doesn’t have a soul, intuition, or the ability to empathize with your struggles, hopes, or fears. Tarot readings are meant to be a dialogue, a shared energy between the reader and the querent. AI cannot replicate this connection.
2. Generic Responses: AI-generated readings often rely on pre-programmed interpretations of the cards. While these interpretations might be accurate in a general sense, they lack the depth and specificity that come from a human reader’s intuition. A real tarot reader can pick up on subtle energies, read between the lines, and offer insights that resonate on a deeply personal level.
3. No Emotional Intelligence: Tarot readings often touch on sensitive or emotional topics. A human reader can sense when to tread gently, when to offer encouragement, and when to challenge you to think differently. AI, on the other hand, cannot gauge your emotional state or respond with compassion.
4. The Value of Experience: Professional tarot readers like Charis and myself bring years of experience, study, and spiritual practice to every reading. We’ve honed our craft, developed our intuition, and learned how to interpret the cards in ways that are meaningful and transformative. AI simply doesn’t have this lived experience.

Why Choose a Human Reader?

If you’re seeking real answers, clarity, or guidance, you need to work with a real person. A human tarot reader can:

• Connect with Your Energy: We tune into your energy and the energy of the cards to provide insights that are uniquely tailored to you.
• Offer Compassionate Support: Whether you’re dealing with a difficult decision, a relationship issue, or a period of uncertainty, a human reader can offer empathy and understanding.
• Provide Nuanced Interpretations: The cards can have multiple layers of meaning, and a skilled reader can help you uncover the messages that are most relevant to your situation.
• Create a Safe Space: A tarot reading is a deeply personal experience. A human reader can create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your questions and concerns.

Final Thoughts

While AI-generated tarot readings might seem like a quick and inexpensive option, they are, quite frankly in my opinion a waste of money. They simply can’t compare to the depth, insight, and connection that a human reader provides.

At the end of the day, tarot is about more than just the cards – it’s about the relationship between the reader and the querent, the energy that flows between them, and the wisdom that emerges from that exchange. Machines cannot connect to you or your situation but a human reader can.

If you’re looking for a reading that truly resonates, invest in a session with a professional who cares about your journey. The difference is worth it.

P.S. Now I appreciate that this recent study referred to AI quoting the news, but it showed that AI was “confidently wrong” 60% of the time. Would you trust it for something important you needed guidance on? I would not!
