Free reading

A free reading is a reading offered at no charge, usually online and automated, sometimes by a reader as an introduction. It can be an honest gateway to the cards. It also serves as bait for some services: a worrying or incomplete answer, followed by pressing invitations to call a premium-rate number or to pay for a consultation to “find out more.” A serious reading, free or not, never creates urgency or fear in order to sell what comes next.
