When you think of a tarot reader, what comes to mind?
Maybe you’re visualizing gypsies in flowing dresses and turbans.
Your image might be of witches with black hats and cats (for the record, I do have a black cat but I’m not a witch).
Or you might assume we’re all hippie flower children (peace ‘n love ‘n patchouli, yo).
Perhaps you have a negative image and assume that tarot readers are some sort of underworld criminals with shady motives (blinking neon sign optional).
On occasion, those stereotypes are accurate.
But the truth is that most tarot readers are ordinary people who simply want to help – and tarot happens to be the tool of choice.
What we’re doing may look like fun or easy, but it’s our job. And yes, it takes effort and skill. It’s work.
When you come for a reading, we hold space for you. We are witnesses to your divinity and we allow you to process your situations as you need to.
We’re not hear to tell you what you “should” do, but we will help you to look at the possibilities of what may come based on your current direction. (If you don’t like what we see, we’ll help you to find alternatives and options.)
Yes, prediction is involved but we also remind you that your actions and thoughts create your destiny, not a pack of cards.
No divination tool is 100%. And no reader is either. (Set reasonable expectations and be open.)
Ultimately, we are about service. We’re on a mission to help you create a more conscious (and magical) life.
When you walk in the tarot door, leave your preconceived notions behind you – and let’s get work.
Blessings,
Theresa
