FAQs

  • Tarot is an instrument of Wisdom used for Divination. It is a vast correspondence symbolic card system embedded and layered with knowledge dating back to the Egyptian period. The first known Tarot deck dates back to around 1440 (580 years ago) and throughout time, particularly in early 1900s, thinkers & students have reinterpreted the Tarot system to intertwine the Kabbalah, astrology, alchemy, numerology, colour symbolism and mythology for modern relevance.

  • Divination is a means to communicate with Soul (subconscious self) and Spirit (energy & beings beyond the veil) that are forever presence & in service to answer life’s questions. It is an age old form of enquiry & seeking understanding, as ancient as man. Methods of divination include; runes/stones/bones casting, tea reading, automatic writing, channelling, pendulum swinging & hydromancy.

    Tarot reading is ‘cartomancy’ and is considered to be the most accurate system of divination due to the thousands of symbols/combinations for answering life’s questions.

    Divination is best used through energy that is equipped to meet the energy you wish to connect to. If you meet energy with fear, disbelief, agitation, that is the energetic resonance that is invited into the field. Creating a field of truth, high loving energy and best intentions is required to meet your queries in equal response.

  • I determine higher guidance as guidance from spirit, from energy in play, from spirit guides, my soul self and from the knowledge to universal understandings that we can access through many systems and teachings.

    The study of Tarot is the study of knowledge and wisdom but I have also delved into many other systems and teachings including; Hermeticism, the Kabbalah, Buddhism, geomancy, astrology, symbology, numerology, religious text and mythology. I have a good understanding of a lot and in some areas there has been deep study. My acrued knowledge will be in some form of guidance I provide together with intuitive wisdom and psychic channel that will naturally spring forth in my readings.

    As a clairsentient psychic medium, I have what you call ‘clear feeling’ so I perceive and interpret subtle psychic energy or emotional vibrations which allows me to connect with the spirit realm and receive messages

  • In person readings are held in my home office or online via Zoom. Before a reading I create a sacred space for ALL energy present with prayers of loving and protective intention.

    Generally the client has questions they’d like clarity on but other than that, my reciprocal advice is holistic, free flowing exchange meaning I have no script, no planned card layouts, I don’t enquire beforehand and I clear all thoughts of any notions before we start. My intention is to be fully present to the energy that needs to present itself - cards will then speak for themselves.

    I will always check you fully understand what is being relayed and will complete a session by working through how you may resolve your issue and how to move forward.

    All clients should feel clear with what they have learnt in the reading and are welcome to take photos and record their session.

  • I recommend if you want to get to the heart of an issue, you will receive a clearer reading when asking very clear focused questions. I highly recommend putting any scepticism or any worries of being judged aside and going for what you really want to know from the beginning to get the most from your reading.

    If you would prefer to see what the cards present on their own, this is also fine however be mindful the cards could deliver a reading you were not prepared for.

  • New starts, work, creativity, venture, relationships, feeling stuck, change, endings, letting go, anxiety, scarcity, challenges, conflict, self development, self empowerment, connection, security, abundance, happiness

    - nearly everything in life, apart from things I do not cover outlined in terms of service

  • I use many tarot card decks but my main go to is the Rider Waite alongside the Thoth deck which I will use to clarify the readings. I will often bring alternative decks out and ask the client to chose whichever deck they feel called to use. Often that deck will have an idealogy or visual language that can really convey the message the client needs to receive that day.

  • Tarot is not fortune reading - it won’t predict the future in such an obvious way. Tarot provides a higher perspective view to what is happening in your life at that moment of the reading and it can demonstrate what the probable near future outcome might be, based on your current energy/trajectory but it doesn’t predict unknown future events because that unknown energy is not present in the reading.

  • A Tarot reading or sometimes the visual prompts may trigger emotions to the surface revealing parts of yourself that were hidden or, may help us to see the truth of a matter without distorted lenses.

    So yes Tarot can sometimes be akin to psychotherapy which is to become aware and re-align ourselves through a form of introspection but it is in no way a substitute for a supported deep exploration of self & an integrated healing process.

  • 1 x 90min session will suitably address a first time in-depth reading.

    1 hour will suitably address between 1 to 2 topics.

    Generally returning clients will seek guidance for new issues unless they are going through major life transformations which at most has resulted in 5 sessions. 

  • Transform readings require the client to work with me in a higher systemic way where we spend time looking at your tarot birth card, additional mastery card, life path card, life lessons cards and how this relates to the area you wish to transform in your life. 

    From understanding your individual framework we can then work through your transform reading. This requires studying & preparing your unique profile beforehand resulting in a workshop & discussion with the cards in how to approach the changes you wish to make. This could include money, creative endeavours, ending bad habits, healing parts of yourself or whatever you would like to transform. 

    The whole process requires 4 hours. 2 hours preparation work and 2 hours in workshop/reading.

  • Apart from my unique reading abilities, diverse life experiences, age and spiritual study, the chances are you’ve been led to me and I would say there’s probably some resonance there and I am the right source of guidance for you. - Every reader has their own unique wisdom and style, if you feel a spark reading about me trust your instinct and see what unfolds.

    If you feel no connection after reading about me, I would say I’m probably not the right reader for you.

  • I am self learnt. I have spent 5 years offering paid readings and 9 years studying the knowledge & symbolism in the 78 cards and all the various Tarot systems.

    -There are many self appointed Tarot schools who follow their own systems for learning but there is no central body regulating how qualified someone is to be a reader.
