Angel card reader Trudie McConnochie explains how she channels celestial messages to help people make meaningful change in their lives

If there’s one question I have to brace myself for whenever I’m heading to a party, it’s this: “What do you do for work?” It’s not that I dislike talking about being an angel card reader, who delivers messages from clients’ guardian angels through my cards – actually I love discussing how my clients have gone on to make changes in their lives by following the guidance I’ve channelled. It’s just that raising this topic inevitably means dealing with a lot of misconceptions. I’m sometimes tempted to lie and claim ‘I sell photocopiers’ to avoid any further questions (not that there’s anything wrong with selling photocopiers, of course).

The angel cards I use in my work are similar to tarot cards, but without the spooky connotations, such as that infamous death card which has been popularised on so many TV shows. Instead, the messages are encouraging and helpful. Crucially, angel cards don’t predict the future – which is another misconception I encounter frequently (along with cliched jokes about picking the winning lottery numbers… yawn).
