Policies & FAQs
* Is this a live reading?
We do from time to time offer live readings, but for the most part all readings performed here are done via email. I have six kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a husband, so getting uninterrupted time and quiet to do live readings is just not possible until we get a retail space. Most live readings I do are at local events.
* Do you offer free readings?
We used to provide readings for free on a more regular basis, but found that it really burned us out. We tried doing it in exchange for feedback, but people took their readings and ran. Now we offer our weekly pick a card reading on our social media pages.
* What methods of payment do you accept? Is my info secure?
For online readings Tucumcari Tarot accepts all major credit cards, and PayPal. All payment transfers take place through a third party platform (either PayPal or Stripe) so please make sure you are familiar with the privacy policy and terms of use for those sites. Tucumcari Tarot is not liable for any mishandling by these third party platforms. For in person readings we accept cash and credit cards only. If you would like to request a reading via mail then we will accept a personal check. If you are submitting payment via check, you will not be placed on the schedule until your check clears. Should your payment be declined or fail to transfer properly you will be liable for a 25% fee in addition to the original amount due.
We utilize SSL technology to keep your info safe. SSL Certificates, sometimes called digital certificates, are used to establish a secure encrypted connection between a browser (user's computer) and a server (website).

Tarot readings and spell castings performed by Tucumcari Tarot are considered a service and due to the nature of the service and labor involved are non-refundable. However if we are unable to perform the service, or we cancel BEFORE your scheduled time then you will be entitled to a full refund. However, if YOU cancel after payment is made but before we have started you will receive a 75% refund. Once service has begun no refunds shall be issued. Online classes are only refundable if dropped in the first 7 days and no more then one lesson has been completed. All books, cards, etc... may be returned within 14 days provided that they are in sellable condition.
* Do you have a code of ethics?
Yes. I have the following code of ethics when it comes to reading tarot:
* Do you do events and parties?
Not currently - Because I am at least 100 miles away from anything of substance the mileage costs on top of my appearance rate usually makes me cost prohibitive. If you have a special event that you would like me to do, send me and email and we can talk about it.
Disclosure of Limitations
A tarot reading should never be used in place of professional advice. Your reading cannot offer legal, medical, business or financial advice nor does any portion of your reading from Tucumcari Tarot purport to. You should not rely on a tarot reader to make decisions that would affect your mental, legal, financial or medical conditions. If you need guidance in these areas PLEASE seek out a licensed professional. Our readings can only give you guidance on how to cope with a situation on a spiritual level.
Confidentiality
Tucumcari Tarot exercises reasonable diligence in maintaining the confidentiality of your tarot reading and not willingly, knowingly or intentionally disclosing your identity or contents of your reading to a third party without your consent. HOWEVER, if Tucumcari Tarot genuinely believes that disclosure is required to 1) Prevent harm to yourself or others, 2) as a result of a court order or search warrant, or 3) to protect Tucumcari Tarot against claims or threat of claims, then we reserve the right to do so to the extent needed. Please keep in mind that there is no legal privilege between a client and a reader the way there is between doctor/patient, lawyer/client, husband/wife or priest and confessor.
Fortune Telling
Pursuant to applicable laws of certain jurisdictions, a person can be guilty of fortune telling when, for a fee or compensation, that person claims or pretends to tell fortunes, or holds him/herself out as being able, by claimed or pretended use of occult powers, to answer questions or give advice on personal matters, or to exorcise, influence or affect evil spirits or curses... UNLESS done explicitly for entertainment purposes only. Any and all readings performed by Tucumcari Tarot neither pretends or purports to tell the future or use occult powers in contradiction with those laws. In certain jurisdictions a tarot professional is required to disclose to you that your reading is for entertainment purposes only, and if such a law applies to your reading you are on notice thereof.

* Do you have a code of ethics?
Yes. I have the following code of ethics when it comes to reading tarot:
- I am a tarot reader but this does not suggest that I am a Psychic or Medium. Neither does it suggest that I am Telepathic.
- All Readings are completely Private and Confidential. I will not share them with a Third-Party.
- Tarot Reading does not Predict the Future but is based on the Probable Outcome of Events which is influenced by the current behaviour and attitude of the Querant and those around them.
- The Tarot Cards carry Images that reflect aspects of Life we are all familiar with. As a Tarot reader I have Trained and Studied their Imagery and Associated Meanings, and am therefore in a position to Interpret the Cards for you.
- A Tarot Reading is not Absolute or Carved in Stone. As a Tarot Reader, I will offer my Opinion and Advice, but will not interfere with the Free will of the Querant. Any Decisions made or Actions taken by the Querant as a result of a Tarot Reading are the Sole Responsibility of The Querant.
- I do not give Specific Financial, Legal, Medical or any other Advice that I am not Professionally Qualified to do so.
- My Readings are Constructive and not Destructive. I give Readings to Empower the Querant.
- I will be Honest in what I see and will not give False Hopes or Empty Promises in order to keep the Querant happy.
- I will be Compassionate and Sensitive to your feelings and will not Judge or Condemn.
- I do not give Readings to Persons under the age of 18 without the consent of their Parent or Guardian.
- I will never refuse a Client a Tarot Consultancy on the Grounds of Race, Colour, Religious Belief, Disability or Sexual Orientation.
- I do not predict the Lotto Numbers.

Not currently - Because I am at least 100 miles away from anything of substance the mileage costs on top of my appearance rate usually makes me cost prohibitive. If you have a special event that you would like me to do, send me and email and we can talk about it.
