• What is Tarot?
  Tarot is a method of accessing the subconscious or intuitive mind through the use of archetypes. Most tarot decks consist of 78 cards with pictures on them depicting Everyone’s journey through life’s trials and tribulations. The images that appear in a particular layout in answer to a particular question offer advice that illuminates the querent’s own inner wisdom.
• What is a Public Tarot Reading?
  Readings in a party or public setting tend to be short and sweet, so that everyone gets a taste. We’ll use a popular tarot deck or one that fits in with your party theme such as the Halloween Tarot. The card layouts are general and readily understood like:
  Past-Present-Future
  Body-Mind-Spirit
  Situation-Obstacle-Solution
  And the questions are usually what is foremost in everyone’s mind:
  How can I improve my career?
  What is going on in my love life?
  How do I overcome this latest obstacle?
• What is a Private Tarot Reading?
  Readings in a private setting are much more personal and in depth, and are completely confidential. We begin with a discussion of your concerns and the factors contributing to them, and ways to shed more light on underlying issues. Then we’ll talk about decks and spreads and choose the right one for your reading. I specialize in creating unique personal spreads on the spot.
• What comes after the Tarot Reading?
  You give it some thought. You let the words and concepts of the reading roll around in your mind for a few days or even a few weeks. You try to make changes that incorporate the reading. Think about things in a new way. You go back over the reading and read it or listen to the cassette. Time passes and you look at it again and see how far you’ve come!
