Bio

I have a BFA in painting but knitting and tarot are my thing now. So I'm combining the two and offering knit tarot wraps, pouches, spreadcloths...and tarot readings. Enjoy.

I've studied and read tarot for 4 years- and have read online and in person for 3.
I'm looking forward to building my offerings here on etsy and reading for all of you!

Thinking of requesting a reading? Here's a bit about how I read- from my blog:

How do readers go about their thing and what can tarot do for me?
People looking around for a reading want to know what each reader offers them. And how does it work anyway?

This is how I do what I do.
A person (that's you!) can point a specific question or an area of life they want to know more about. Or they can ask for a general reading which are fun in themselves.

After I understand what information you need, decks and layouts come into play. Each deck has its own voice and I find some share their "expertise" better with certain readings:
St Pete's is good for mundane matters
Victorian Romantic for relationships
The Visconti runs the whole gamut
The Waite Smith for precise, practical concerns.

I generally use a few standard spreads but switch up position meanings to suit the individual (you again). The old 3- card standby is used for anything you can imagine:
Other Person/You/Relationship
Past/Present/Future
Positive/Challenges/Advice

There's a 5- card spread I like, especially useful for general readings:
Past, Present, Future topped off with Advice and Future Opportunities.
Like all other spreads, positions can change according to your needs.

Once the cards are laid, the magic happens.
Interpret and communicate. Readers learn to shut up and look (or listen) to the cards and tell you what they see. I look for issues coming from the past, what's effecting the present and how circumstances will likely unfold. Who are you interacting with and how do they influence you? What will happen from choosing blah as opposed to blave. [/Princess Bride reference.]

I look for patterns, feelings and possibilities and relay them all to you as clearly as possible. I try to provide you with clarity and proactive choices- a "heads up"- so you're left with direction, wisdom and hope. I strive for that as a reader and hopefully can offer that to all I throw the cards for.

Yep. That's what I do, broken down in one blog post.
Keeps things down to earth. Please drop me a line if there is anything else you'd like to know.
As always, you control what you do with the clarity you gain.

Reading Code of Ethics
from my tarot blog

I am not a fortune teller- this goes against how I believe tarot works. The future is made up of your efforts and outside circumstances, not absolute fate.
Many times a reading will clarify and bring to people a new perspective; easing worry, solving problems and offering knowledge to help them along their path.

I have the best interests of clients in mind and offer professional, confidential readings without judgment.

My goal is to interpret what I see and feel; not how I would go about things nor offer specific advice. Readings are about you- telling you what to do is not my part nor would I agree to give such information. What you do with knowledge received from readings is entirely up to you.

I suggest no more than one reading every 3 months or so and may refuse reading for those who constantly ask for them. They are not offered so people can become dependent on them.

I will answer questions about the reading either by going over certain parts again or drawing a few more cards, within reason. Most of the time what's in front of you is all there is to know and drawing more cards or repeating readings is overkill.

I do not offer past life/karmic readings as such, but will provide information from readings regarding these subjects if they come up. They've popped up a couple times and I'll relay this to you.

I won't read for third parties: lots of times other people will show up in readings if they are directly involved with you and that's fine. You need to know what's up with them. But asking about someone's private life, thoughts or actions won't be read for.
All rates are posted in my etsy shop & blog. I will not push additional readings, add-ons or extra fees on you.

Readings are confidential unless I believe you are harmful to yourself or others.
I am not a therapist, doctor or legal expert. If you have mental or health issues you need help with, please contact the appropriate service. I can only offer so much in the way of readings. Take care of yourself.

You must be 18 + to request a reading.

You may request a refund if the reading really isn't accurate or doesn't resonate with you. Please take 3 days to let it sink in- some things need time to be mulled over.

*********

I hope that clears up some things for you and provides reassurance that I take reading seriously as a professional, but offer my own reading experience and sense of humor. I look forward to hearing from you!
