A tarot reading is a deeply personal experience, but when you are brand new to readings it can be intimidating. I mean where do you start? What should you know before getting started? Check out my master list to walk you through the process.

When I do a reading for you it is important for me to connect to you and deliver the best guidance possible. But I am totally human so I can make a boo-boo or be unclear sometimes. Keep reading to see what happens when you reach out for clarification on your reading.

​A lot of times people think of tarot as something fun, a way to get a peek at the future. But tarot has another side, one that is becoming more popular. That side is as a therapeutic tool.

​As a tarot reader sometimes we think that we have nothing left to learn, and that we have everything in hand. Keep reading for details on a spread you should try regularly to grow.

​There are a lot of tarot classes out there on the web, and some of them are free. But does free really mean better? Unfortunately in most cases no. A free tarot class will most of the time give you a glossing over of the tarot and then pretty much turn you loose.

What you should look for in a class is one that offers a lot of bang for your buck. Ask the following:

* Is it just the online course, or are there materials available?
* Is it self paced so you can take your time, or do you have deadlines to meet?
* Does it offer a variety of illustrations or videos to help those who are visual learners?
* Does it encourage you to do activities to help you grow?

and most important, does the instructor offer guidance after the course is completed or do they just take your money and run?

Some ask why even charge at all... My answer this is that if you have a good instructor then their class fee helps support the years of training they themselves went through, the time spent designing the class, the cost of webhosting, advertising, marketing and more. If you figure that the average GOOD instructor will spend upwards of 200 hours or more preparing the course then a modest fee seems appropriate.

This has been a very difficult six months for me. I have really been struggling with my health, and as a result my tarot reading AND website have suffered. I am trying to get back to normal (whatever that might look like) and am getting things back to where they used to be. You may notice that there are less blog posts then before. That is because a lot of them were lost when we migrated from Shopify. I have done my best to recreate the ones I could, and am open to suggestions on any topics you might feel I missed in my absence.

Bear with me as I get things back up and running correctly. If you have any suggestions for things you would like to see me offer, or posts you think I should write then drop us a comment below.
