OEPHEBIAS' CODE OF ETHICS
1. It shall be my aim to provide a service to people that reflects my professionalism and my spiritual integrity. 2. Fees charged for my work reflects the work carried out on behalf of the querent and my abilities. 3. At all times I will conduct myself in a manner that enhances and preserves the good name of our profession. 4. In any circumstances my work should not distress a querent. When I feel the querent needs are beyond the spectrum of the Tarot, I shall refer them to specialist help (a doctor or a qualified counselor for instance). 5. During my work as a psychic tarot reader, I shall undertake readings only when asked and shall never force someone into having a reading. 6. Tarot readings undertaken at festivals or public events are covered by third party liability insurance to protect myself and the public. 7. At the beginning of a psychic tarot session, I shall clearly state what the tarot and myself as an interpreter of the cards can do for the querent and what can be expected from a reading. 8. Under no circumstances shall I talk to the querent about physical death for themselves or members of their family unless specifically asked by the querent before the start of a reading. To reveal such traumatic events will be entirely at my discretion, even when express consent is given to me by the querent. 9. As a psychic tarot reader, I have moral and spiritual responsibilities towards the querent. My readings should enlighten and, guidance should be given to the querent in time of need or confusion. 10. The future is not set and I shall make sure that the querent understands this point. A reading is given as possibilities rather than certainties and the querent has choices to make in order to unfold their own future. 11. If for any reason as a psychic tarot reader I can not 'connect' with the querent, I shall say so and be honest. Obviously, I will not be tempted to create fictional scenarios and consequently charge the querent. Honesty and integrity must prevail at all times. 12. I shall have respect for the querent irrespective of race, gender, colour or religion. 13. I shall not undertake readings for anyone other than the querent, i.e. third parties, as this intrudes on someone else's personal feelings and thus not acceptable. 14. I do not provide readings to people under the age of 18 years old, even with expressed permission from parents or legal guardians. 15. I Oephebia do hereby agree to abide by this Code of Ethics at all times.
