I'd say if you need information, get in touch with Clouse Sydonis, aka Remnance on the RPC. I've had two characters do readings with him and, despite knowing absolutely nothing about my characters, managed to peg their future/events going on in their life pretty well. He also did my partner's character and was surprisingly accurate with her as well.

I have a character who has been doing this since I've made her. Her soothsaying has been more private between the community I surround myself with. However, if people are looking to learn / want something done I'd be happy to offer her services, too.Â
This is a character type I've played across many games including WoW and GW2, and tarot is something I've been doing in my real life for about. . .  eleven (damn) years now. So yup! Cards aren't the only thing available. There's scrying, tea reading, etc~. -crawls back into her hole- |

I really am interested in learning how to go about doing readings in RP. I don't know how Eorzea treats the arcana, but I've been having fun incorporating IRL hobbies like this into my roleplay.
That being said, as well, I've been trying to recruit for a group of characters that does things like this. Divining (tarot, tea reading, etc.), herbal healing, crystal healing, and more. A lot of things of this nature. (also, performances, if you are so inclined to!) I am nervous to say because I don't know anyone's reactions to the subject, but to help clarify the inspiration, a lot of (my character's, at least) doings are inspired by wicca and witchcraft culture. It's still in the bare bones of development and brainstorming, but I wanted to post it here with so many other like-minded individuals. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=11337 |

Whether you keep it simple or complex is really a matter of your (and the character's) personal style. I'm using Tarot in the context of reading for personal introspection, reflection and examination instead of simpler, easy answers. In my format, the reader helps explain the possible interpretations of whichever of the 78 cards have been drawn. That's a very particular technique. A simpler one would really benefit from using just the in-game ones. Not that I'm going to ignore them; I intend to incorporate their use into the IC portion of the reading.

I suppose it could be interpreted as personal style, but I'm sort of wary about copying a real life card system into Eorzea, especially when they're providing an Eorzean system for us. Of course, this is granted they provide us deeper meanings for each card (though different styles of fortune telling may have different interpretations of the cards, which is coooool). But then again, I'm an advocate for 'RP how you wish,' so you do you! |

I didn't know there was at least one other using a real Tarot deck.
Got your pm and wanted to lend a hand. Â I worked with Felix to create a list of ffxiv theme for the major arcana and the court cards. Â Also a new naming convention for the suits themselves. I know he isn't able to do much with it now and originally we just kept are list offline to keep it from being abused. Â Might be reconsidering that though in true I have had talks with another about Clouse Icly teaching people the ways of the lore we created. I used the Mystic Dreamers Tarot Deck right now and usually won't go past a 3 card drawing for past, present, and future. Â This is because typing a reading takes a while. Â Average 10-15 minutes for each card for good showing. Â This is page has one of my first readings since I started it back up in game. Â http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread....#pid166024 Each card, to me, hints at a story or message to be told. Â I tend to explain each card and describe it a little. Â Then finding the thread that binds them all together. Â I tend to try to add in some aetheric elements to mix. If you or your friend wants. Â I can give a reading and you can see how I do it in person. Â Today I'm locked out of my account due to forgetting an old e-mails address password and suspicious bs activity for the 30th time in the last two months. "Man is nothing like God. Â Not only are our powers limited, but sometimes we are driven to become the Devil, himself."

Screw tarot, my Astrologian will be based on Triple Triad. It's time to d-d-d-duel!

I should also add that Iskierka has offered rune readings, casting bones, and one occasion reading entrails, but nobody has taken her up up on the offer.
Tarot is just popular, I guess. No Gods and Precious Few Heroes |
