What are your senses telling you? What do you feel when you look at the ace of cups? I feel the need to pee When I look at the ace of cups, I feel calm. Serene.

Tarot Treks: The Cups Overview

Cups were the overwhelming winner of my social media poll on where to start my pandemic lecture series: Tarot Treks.

I’ll admit it, this Covid-19 pandemic arrested my motivation for a while. I’ve been incredibly unfocused, and adjusting to the new normal of nothing being normal has been both draining and depressing. I can’t go read at Weston Wine Company. I can’t read at Cinder Block Brewery events or go to weekly trivia with my pals. So I’ve felt a little grumpy, which is okay, but unproductive and...

2020. The year of the Emperor in tarot terms. I was pumped for 2020 because I was full of ideas for my business, and I felt like my creativity was off the charts. I love being motivated. The New Year gives us permission to make changes and set goals we could pursue anytime, but fireworks and fanfare make it special! Blocked energy can put a huge damper on that. Right before the New Year, my...

One of the most common questions I get when people sit down at my table for a reading is, “How did you learn to read tarot?” The answer is BOOKS! Books and practice, my friends.

Every tarot reader is different. We fall into umbrella categories like intuitive readers, empathic readers, “psychic” readers etc., but each tarot reader you meet will have a different style and approach to their practice.
