What is Tarot?
Tarot cards were created in Italy in the 1400s as a card game and evolved over the centuries into systems of divination, fortune telling and as tools for self-discovery. I use Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand, and playing cards to obtain inspired answers for you.
Images are the root of all language and communication. Tarot contains a set of archetypal images, colors and numbers expressing all of the essential aspects of life. The act of reading involves interpreting the synchronicity in a card spread using the reader’s learned knowledge, intuition and psychic skills.
Oracle cards are a different system for obtaining inspired answers. There are fewer cards and the spreads typically contain fewer cards. Sometimes I will use both in a reading. These are themed decks typically focusing on a single topic or area of life: i.e. love, life purpose, health, heavenly assistance and answers, past lives and more.
Lenormand cards are another system providing more direct, on-point inspired answers. It is a 200 year old system developed in the heart of Europe composed of a deck of 36 cards. The images are more simple and straightforward than most tarot or oracle card images. Lenormand typically involves more earthly, tangible issues rather than psychological and spiritual ones.
The use of playing cards in Europe predate Tarot cards by around 50 years. Brother John of Rheinfelden wrote “Thus it is that a certain game, called the game of cards, has reached us in the present year, namely AD 1377….” Like Tarot cards, playing cards likely had the original use of game playing. They were definitely being used for predictive purposes by the 16th century by such luminaries as Dr. John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I’s mystical adviser and by Rizzio, the Italian lover of Mary Queen of Scots. (The Fortune Teller’s Deck, Jane Lyle, St. Martin’s Press 1995)
How do you read?
I will help you with whatever is on your mind. I will seek inspired answers to appropriate questions by choosing the proper deck, system and spread for the question. I will often read for a question with several decks and spreads. My goal is to provide you with useful information so that you can transform your future for the highest good.
I do not read by the static definitions of the card images, but read the poetry of the story as it is expressed in the spread as influenced by whatever psychic energies are present.
Are you psychic?
I am an intuitive reader and I do employ a set of psychic skills. I open up to your energy, my intuitive knowing which includes my innate wisdom and learned knowledge, the Divine, the environment of the reading and whatever physic energies are present.
Do I need to ask a question for a reading?
This is not required, but for the best reading – YES. I will help you phrase your questions so that we obtain the best inspired answers for you. Questions should be specific and open ended. Most of the time when we consult the cards we are at a point in our life when we want to make a decision or we are facing a challenge. We want to know how best to handle these matters and about what, if any, action is needed. It is usually best to avoid yes or no questions or any questions that would deflect your responsibility and free will.
I suggest not beginning a question with “Should I…” For the best answers I suggest beginning questions with:
- Can you give me insight into…
- What is the meaning of…
- What is the lesson or purpose of…
- How can I improve my chances of…
- What do I need to know about…
If you have a challenge with your questions I can help you to phrase them appropriately so that we will receive the highest good for you. Email, call or text me and I will give you direction for phrasing your questions: 805-637-1031 [email protected]
Can you read the future?
I can read a likely future outcome for your question given all of the variables present at the time of the reading provided that nothing changes. However, you have free will. If you choose to change any of the components that make up the context of the reading you may change the outcome expressed in the reading. Much of the outcome remains up to you.
I believe that every person has the ability to change future outcomes because of free will, but there is also destiny. Each soul is on a path of evolution. There are things that need to be experienced and learned in order to evolve. You can choose not to participate in an experience or ignore a lesson, but they will continue to appear until they are accomplished and learned.
