What is Tarot

Tarot is both a tool and a language that helps us to explore and examine universal themes that present themselves in our day-to-day life.  It is also a mirror that reflects our inner world and the energies shaping our current experiences. Through symbols and archetypes, the cards communicate through us intuitive guidance, wisdom, and truth, helping to illuminate what may be hidden beneath the surface and to clarify what is already known.

​

A Tarot reader is someone who has developed a deep relationship with the cards and understands how to interpret and communicate through this symbolic language. Each reader uses this tool in their own unique way to help you explore, understand, and apply the messages that come through in a reading.

​

What to Expect from a Reading

 

`A reading is an opportunity to receive insight, clarity, and encouragement around what is already present within you. It’s not about trying to predict the future.  

Together we will examine and explore what is coming through in the themes and artwork presented through the cards and bring forward an expanded awareness that will support you in taking empowered actions to align you with your truth and to move towards the desired future you wish to create.

You can expect to receive guidance, advice, intuitive messages, inspiration, understanding, and clarity related to whatever areas of life you would like to explore together.   Readings are intended to support you in gaining perspectives related to your current situation and to provide you with practical advice for your next steps. Beyond the reading, the guidance and advice provided can also continue to support you in your own journey of self-development and self-awareness, helping you to expand how you are learning, healing, growing and creating as you move forward.

What not to expect, however, are yes/no answers, being told what you should or should not do, names, dates, locations, predicted out comes and insights into other people's private lives.

What to Expect (and Not Expect) from Me

I am a Tarot Guide and would best describe my role as an objective observer and counselor.  I am here to provide a safe container and an honest neutrality to support you in this time and space.  My objective is to provide guidance that will help facilitate self-development and self-awareness while also providing practical advice that will support you in your day-to-day life.  My style of communication is centered around empowerment and encouragement while listening with compassion. I do not intend to deliver fear-based messages or to judge and criticize your thoughts, feelings, or actions.

​

I do not claim to be a fortune teller or a psychic.

I believe our future is created in the present moment through our thoughts, feelings, actions, habits, beliefs, and behaviors. I offer to act as an objective observer, helping you see how you are shaping your future and by providing insight into what thoughts, feelings, actions, behaviors etc. are supporting you and what may be hindering you.

I also believe the future is ever evolving, so predicted outcomes have no guarantee and can create a false illusion, and I certainly do not want to sell you a reading under the false pretense of a promised outcome.

Please also consider that coming into a reading expecting that I can tell you more about your life than you can is unreasonable and unhelpful. My role is to help you gain clarity and deepen your understanding of the truths already within you, offering guidance that supports those truths. I am not offering a performance to try to prove that I know things about you and your life beyond what is directly shared.

How to Prepare

We can explore any specific questions or focuses that are currently significant to you in this time and place. Depending on where your own attention is at this time, we can look into your inner wellbeing and/or examine your outer circumstances.  If you do not have anything specific you would like to bring through, we can be open to where the process guides us naturally.  A general curiosity and open mind are all you need.  How much we can investigate will be determined by the time commitment you sign up for.   

​

A reading works best when approached with openness and trust.  If you have doubts or misgivings about the reading, this could influence what can come through.  Though it is normal to feel a little uncertain about the process, especially if it is your first time, please note that if your fears, doubts or resistances are stronger than your trust, we may find that the reading is limited by these energies. 

 

To ensure that the reading gives you what you need and want, communication is important.   It is through your own intentions, information, questions and reflections throughout the reading that will help the process to flow.  We can only go as far and a deep as you allow. 

 

Please know that everything shared is held in confidence and with respect.

​

You’re welcome to take notes or record the session if you desire.

​

After the Reading

The energy of a reading can continue to unfold over time. Insights may deepen gradually as you integrate what was revealed. I suggest journaling, resting, or spending quiet time reflecting after our time together to help this process.

​

Remember, the guidance you receive is meant to empower your choices, not dictate them. Trust what resonates and release what does not.

​

A reading opens a process.  Some truths may become clear immediately, while others reveal themselves slowly. Allow space for this evolution, and trust that the message that came through will guide you as needed.

​

You may also wonder when it would be best to receive your next reading. Everyone is different in how this tool can support their own personal journey so there is no set answer for this.  Trust your own decrement in knowing when.
