Silvia was one of the first to register and on the day scheduled for 
begin the course, there it was: notebook, colored pencils and a 2 or 3 decks into the bag. He chose his place, well ahead, and sat down, even before the class started, I was taking notes.
Silvia always felt attracted to everything about spirituality and had racked up a good number of courses in the area. He told us he had already studied dowsing, feng-Chuei, gypsy cards, reiki, aromatherapy, and for years practiced yoga and transcendental meditation. Even a basic course in the Major Arcana had attended. But Sylvia wanted more, wanted to go further.
His interest in what she called 
of "personal development" was a constant search for a reconnection, she knew there, with your higher self, to something larger and often nameless, unaccountable. Considered the ideal time for their return to studies and especially the tarot. Had been widowed recently and, even though he received a pension left by her husband, whose terminal illness was long and very expensive, very little was left besides her small apartment where he lived. Via a tarot learning more chance to experience his eternal quest for herself, through an instrument with a language that is very playful.
was frank in telling us that first meeting, it was believed that the possibility of finding the answer, or at least find ways they could take it to the core of existential questions rather important, is what I was doing the course, an investment which was considerable. She was willing to invest in itself. He believed that now, more mature and not so many social engagements, would be able to devote himself more and learn better in the "sacred language" (as she called it) of the tarot. Curiosity, insight and ease of communication were all attributes that we have seen that there was lacking, that our first lesson. His sympathy, concern and naturally captivated the students.
It was no surprise her during the six-month course, have proved a highly dedicated student, very studious, always researching and seeking information about the possibilities offered tarot, websites, blogs, books, conversations with other students. Silvia turned out to be a true "future tarot reader," and seemed to be a born leader, someone who will and stimulated interest in the whole group. Sensitive, highly intuitive, with a great life experience, focused, and especially the "right to life" she showed up week after week, an ideal student and the readings he practiced with his relatives and friends, carefully annotated, were subject to a surcharge, an "extra" very welcome and creative classes.
was an extremely dedicated group of students. Some of them showed clear signs of 
mediumship and tarot in seeking a way to express it. Other letters found in the iconography of symbolic research which wanted to launch. There were even those who used the cards in medical psychology, as an extra support to establish contact with the subconscious of your clients. Therefore, Silvia was very well monitored. But that does not mean there were no major clashes, a sort of "healthy competition" among students. Basically, everyone wanted, rather than displaying the value of their knowledge and talent, further increasing the potential for each blade, each playbook.
The space where the course of conducting tarot decided to organize what they called "fair mystique," the example of many that exist and the teachers were asked to indicate some of them good students to participate in a way to give them a experience more effective. It was a practical activity responsibly and fairly well coming to any student. We had in our group of about 3 tarot potential candidates for this "exercise" and of course Silvia topped the list.
Visitors "fair" were previously warned 
that students of various courses offered would be attending, as a kind of "stage". The participation of Silvia was highly praised by all who proposed to be met by a student and second day of the fair, there was a small queue of people waiting to have their readings done solely by her. A true tribute to his extreme dedication.
When completed the event we made an assessment based on his accurate notes on each reading done, we found that indeed there was a person with a huge potential for the oracular reading. The course was over and Silvia had shone, undoubtedly.
After a few months, the board decided it needed the space of a tarot-card that had available time to teach a new group of students and none of us who worked there, we could assume the task because of other commitments in the same period. After much deliberation, Silvia was finally invited to start this new class. Knowledge he was not lacking, nor determination, security interest or courage. Moreover, their own experience with tarot served as motivation for students. 
course your first reaction was surprise and joy, because after all it was the recognition of his effort and ability. It was a start, the possible start of a new stage in his life and, somehow, it had a financial reward that could make investments and provide more. However, in the days following, Silvia came to us full of doubts, fearful that the work as a teacher of tarot was something beyond their ability and would not frustrate Schools, students and even herself. It was not difficult to recover their self-confidence. Suffice it to remind her of his personal merits and assure her that she was capable of what he was being offered.
The course was announced and a small number of students confirmed their attendance. Another Again, there was Sylvia, coming very soon, prepare your material and placing it in a classroom where the teacher was now herself.
introduced himself to the class telling their own career as a researcher oracular systems. Stretched out on his long a journey in search of spiritual growth, a development of his consciousness. He also spoke of his inexperience as a teacher, warned them that were his first class, asked them to have patience if she at some point, not having the best answer to your question, but that was with them, standing equality, which began this journey through the world of the arcana of the tarot, and therefore, in bins of their minds, rational or not. Won them unconditionally with his sincerity and empathy.
were 24 weeks of lively classes, where students emerged thrilled with what they had learned and not sparing praise for the master. 
Lesson after lesson Silvia revealed to have great knowledge of the subject and a great ease in passing it. There are also some very few moments when we saw her leave the classroom frustrated because he could not express themselves the best way, or not have felt that his explanation of some arcane had been most satisfactory. But Sylvia was, first and foremost, a "house mom," give those arms, take in hand, and lead have an inexhaustible patience, and lots of entertainment and an eternal good humor. Itself over the years, the role of apprentice, knew that the initiation process is not simple nor easy. That requires a lot of those who seek their own truth and she was there willing to help others "pilgrims" to travel the same tracks that she had experienced.
The course was not finished and she started working in the same space, doing tarot readings. 
quickly formed a clientele that was expanding slowly but surely. Also was asked to teach a new course readings and also elsewhere, where new consultants vying to his now busy schedule. If the goal of Silvia was to find a vehicle that would help to know each other better, like to understand in all its complexity and oracle decode and transmit information, it could be considered as not performed because it lacked customers and even students. Gradually she learned to expect less of herself to balance the pace of work with their personal studies, reduced the number of weekly hours devoted to the care and opted to teach only two courses per year . Was left to him again, time to study, read, write, meet with friends and visiting the grandkids living far away.
More than a job, Silvia had found a direction, a direction, a new step in your personal journey for answers issues that were vitally important.
