Why should I have a tarot reading?

A tarot reading is your opportunity to:

  • Renew your sense of purpose
  • Find more meaning in your work and relationships
  • Enhance your creativity and productivity
  • Tap into your higher self and develop your intuition
  • Balance your body, mind, and spirit
  • Hear honest, objective, and constructive feedback
  • Explore your options for growth and development
  • Overcome obstacles and stumbling blocks
  • Find solutions to your problems

What exactly is the tarot?

The tarot is a deck of 78 cards that dates back to fourteenth-century Renaissance Italy. Each card is lavishly illustrated with images and symbols that incorporate a wide range of Western thought and tradition, including mythology, astrology, alchemy, numerology, and kabbalah.

How is “tarot” pronounced?

Most people say “tarot” with a long “a,” so it rhymes with “arrow.” The final “t” is silent.

How does the tarot work?

Many experts have theorized that the tarot taps into the “collective unconscious” — the underlying bond of energy, emotion, and shared experience that unites us all. Others believe that users are simply drawn to the images and symbols that have the most meaning and significance for them. No matter what you believe about the principles behind the tarot, its accuracy is often uncanny.

What can I expect during a tarot reading?

During your tarot reading, I'll ask you to focus on a single question, issue, problem, or concern. If you’re getting a reading in person, I’ll ask you to shuffle or cut the cards while you think about your situation. Then I’ll lay out a number of cards to explore, and together we’ll find the answer to your question.

Can you teach me how to read tarot cards?

I'd be happy to. While I frequently teach tarot classes in and around the Twin Cities and on the Internet, I'm also available for private lessons. If you'd like, you could even get some of your friends together and I'll teach you as a group. Contact me for details.
