Tarot, life, and everything in between.


Nearly 30 years of reading tarot has taught me a few things. Some about the cards, some about people, and quite a few about just how spectacularly messy life can get.


This is where I share what I’ve learned, explore the things that interest me, and occasionally climb onto my soapbox.


You’ll find tarot advice, deck reviews, practical guidance, a little history, and whatever else has caught my attention.


Pull up a chair. There’s plenty to talk about.

What do a blockbuster movie, a fantasy novel, and a magical girl anime all have in common with your tarot deck?

More than you think.

Tarot isn’t just for divination—it’s a visual language of archetypes, emotion, and transformation. And once you start spotting those symbols out in the wild, you’ll never look at your favorite stories the same way again.

That’s what this new series is all about.

You’ve been doing the work. You’ve defined your reading style, practiced your delivery, and started building your reader identity (if you’ve missed any of that—check the earlier posts in the series). Now comes the big leap:

Actually booking your first clients.

This is the point where a lot of aspiring readers freeze. Not because they can’t read—because they don’t know how to ask to be paid for it. And listen, that’s normal. Going from “I do this for fun” to “I offer this as a service” brings up all kinds of imposter syndrome, doubt, and awkwardness.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need a full brand, a massive following, or a perfect booking system to start reading professionally. You just need a clear offer, a way for people to book you, and a willingness to say, “I’m available.”

This post will show you how to get your first tarot clients—without selling your soul, spamming your feed, or pretending to be more “together” than you are.

​You’ve got the spark. The concept is alive. Now it’s time to give your deck a skeleton—something to shape all that magic into a tangible, intuitive tool.

This part of the process is where a lot of creators either get stuck or go wild (sometimes both). Because choosing the right structure and style for your deck isn’t just about design—it’s about deciding how your deck will speak, what kind of reader it’s for, and what kind of experience it will offer.

In this second part of the Deck Creation Series, we’ll walk through how to:
• Choose between tarot, oracle, or Lenormand (or blend them!)
• Decide how many cards your deck will have
• Map out suits, archetypes, or categories
• Clarify the visual and emotional tone of your artwork and messages

Think of this as blueprint energy. You don’t have to have every card figured out yet—but this is the part where you start building the world your deck will live in.

If you’ve been anywhere near the spiritual or tarot world lately, you’ve probably heard about Twin Flames Universe (TFU). Maybe you’ve even watched the Netflix doc (Escaping Twin Flames) or the one on Prime (Desperately Seeking Soulmate). But now? It’s not just documentaries. The Michigan Attorney General just confirmed that there’s a full-on criminal investigation underway—and search warrants were served on two TFU-connected homes earlier this week.

And honestly? It’s about time.

I don’t usually wade into drama like this, but I feel like I have to say something—because I’ve seen how damaging this “twin flame” stuff can be, up close.

​If you're stepping into the world of professional tarot reading, having a solid client intake process is going to make your life so much easier. Not only does it set clear expectations for your clients, but it also helps you stay organized, maintain boundaries, and create a smooth and professional reading experience. Plus, when you have a process in place, you can focus more on the magic of tarot rather than getting bogged down in administrative details.

Imbolc, observed on February 1st or 2nd, marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It is a festival of renewal, light, and the first stirrings of spring. Rooted in Celtic tradition and dedicated to the goddess Brigid, Imbolc represents hope, purification, and preparation for the growing season ahead.

​Navigating a romantic relationship is challenging enough, but when your partner still seems emotionally tied to their ex, it can bring confusion, insecurity, and frustration. Whether it’s lingering feelings, constant comparisons, or unresolved baggage, being with someone who isn’t fully emotionally available can take a toll on your relationship. So, what can you do in this situation?

The journey of creating your own tarot or oracle deck is a deeply personal and transformative experience. Whether you’re an artist, a tarot reader, or simply someone with a vision, your deck has the potential to be a unique expression of your creativity and insight. But before you start sketching or designing, the first and most crucial step is finding the inspiration and theme for your deck. In this first installment of our series, we’ll explore how to uncover your deck’s story, brainstorm themes, and begin shaping your vision into something tangible.

Life invariably presents challenges, each with the potential to disrupt and deter. Yet, it's precisely these difficulties that offer us profound opportunities for personal growth. By reshaping our approach to adversities, we can transform them into catalysts for enhancing our capabilities and broadening our perspectives. In this article, Tucumcari Tarot explores strategies to manage these challenges and use them as stepping stones to elevate your personal development.

When it comes to your partner's mother, having the greatest love and respect for this noble woman is a must. However, she shouldn't be so high above you on a pedestal that you feel like your boyfriend or husband-to-be is putting her first. When you envision your Prince Charming, you see someone who puts you first. Your partner needs to be a man who will back you up, stand beside you, and lead the way when you are facing difficult times. The last thing you need is a man who runs home the instant his mother calls (unless it is an emergency, of course). Read on to know how you can cope with a mama's boy to have a lasting relationship.

HI, I’M EVA.


I’ve been reading tarot since 1997, which means I’ve spent nearly three decades studying 78 pieces of cardstock and the complicated humans who ask them questions.


I like my tarot honest, practical, and with considerably less mystical nonsense than the internet would have you believe is required.


Around here, I write about tarot, relationships, reading professionally, decks I love, things that fascinate me, and occasionally whatever has climbed onto my soapbox that week.


Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
