I saw your main question as this:
"I'm not interested in the mechanism of readings but I'd like to hear what practitioners feel they are doing, the source of any information acquired".
Does my reply really not give any explanation of this at all?
May I respond by asking you to read what you wrote (copied below)....
"I've read since I was 16, for friends and myself. Sometimes have been very accurate! Never charged for it, don't believe in that for me. I feel the cards represent energies that are best described as the collective unconscious, i.e. this is the nearest fit but it's a bit deeper. There is also something to do with time I feel, as if they enable you to perceive it in a less linear richer way. I believe that their psychological / archetypal aspects have to be felt quite deeply in order to do the what-is-going-to-happen stuff."
Now tell me, if you would, where you've said what you feel you do and where any information you might acquire comes from.
It seems quite clear cut to me what mouse meant, mac. I'm sure she'll respond herself, but I wonder why you're being so hostile.
