Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Tarot? 

​

  • Tarot decks have 78 cards divided into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana

  • Tarot cards are also split into 4 suits, Wands, Pantacles, Cups and Swords

  • Each position in the spread can be interpreted differently, as well as certain cards in relation to eachother, repetition of a particular suit or Arcana and the number on the card

  • There are many different designs but all decks essentially do the same job

  • Reversed/upside down cards take on a different meaning again and are not necessarily a bad sign

  • Angel and Oracle cards are slightly different in that they offer more specific messages and even practical advice

  • Tarot is a great tool to help clarify your current situation and unblock your subconscious, it allows you to think differently about your life and take an alternative approach you may not have otherwise thought of

  • Tarot is a snapshot of your life at the time of the reading, your destiny is always affected by your free will and the choices you make

  • Tarot can show us where we are on our spiritual journey, beginning with The Fool we see how far we have come and what we need to do to help us on our way

  • It can show us skills and hidden talents that we may not currently be using

  • I view tarot as a gentle push towards your destiny

​
​
Do I need to worry about the Death, Devil, Hanged Man, Tower or reversed cards?
​
  • It is a common misconception that these cards can represent a literal death or bad luck

  • These cards more often show a transition, an ending of a situation or pathway

  • An ending can be a good thing as it inevitably means a new beginning and a fresh outlook on life

  • Sometimes we need to let go of things and move on, these cards can show us what we need to leave behind in order to progress

  • A good tarot reader will always see the positive in a reading

​
​
How does Tarot work?
​
  • Quite simply, no one knows for sure

  • Tarot uses symbolism in the cards to help us connect to our subconscious

  • We may already know, deep down, what we need to do in certain situations

  • Tarot can help you see things differently and more clearly and so can point us in the right direction

  • Tarot uses symbolism and the reader's intuition in order to interpret the images, positioning, numbers and colours on the cards

​
​
What happens during the reading?
​
  • You do not need to give me any personal details, just your name and email address so that I can email you the reading

  • However a photo can help, especially a photo of a passed loved one if you would like to try and connect, this can be via email

  • I concentrate on your name and question if you have one. I ask my spirit guides to connect with yours to help me give the most accurate reading to the highest of my ability and for the greatest good

  • I select the deck I feel a connection with, I have a few to choose from

  • I shuffle and cut the cards whilst concentrating on the question

  • I draw the cards and lay them in the chosen spread

  • I will take each individual card one at a time, hold it, look closely at the symbolism, colours, numbers, position in spread and get a feeling of my interpretation

  • I sometimes get messages about your job, realtionships or situation, ideas just seem to pop into my head

  • I write down my feeling for each card, along with a general conclusion incorporating the position of the cards in relation to each other, major and minor Arcana

  • Each card has a different meaning, the meaning of a particular card can vary between clients

  • If a card "jumps" out whilst shuffling I will put it to one side and give you the interpretation of that card separately, explaining that it was a "jumper", these cards can take on more relevance to the actual spread

  • Once I have written everything down I type it up and email you photos of the cards and the reading

  • Often I am quite unaware of what I have written until I am typing the email!

​
 
Do I have to do anything while you read?
​
  • No, you can just get on with your day

  • I will email you as soon as I am finished

  • If you would like to be "spiritually present" during the reading, you will be given a slot time and may choose to sit quietly on your own, take a bath, listen to some calming music, light a candle, relax or meditate

​
 
How does Distance Tarot work?
​
  • Location is not important, everything in the universe is made up of energy and therefore we are all connected

  • Spirit can be in different places at the same time, distance makes no difference to the cards

  • Distance readings can be a great way to show that its not just reading the person, checking for a wedding ring and making assumtions on the way we look or dress, our accents and general appearance. I don't require a photo or any personal information, other than your name and email address in order to send you the reading!

​
 
How can I phrase questions to get the most out of my reading? 
​
  • Ideally you want to ask open questions rather than definitive yes/no questions.

  • You may wish to think about your questions before hand, write them down or hold them in your thoughts prior to your reading

  • If you want to know if you will get that dream job, rather than asking directly "Will I...?" try to phrase the question "What is getting in the way of my dream job?". Perhaps its a lack of confidence or maybe you aren't pushing yourself far enough because you don't know your own worth. Tarot can help you to put a few changes in place. You may find you do better in the interview with your new found confidence and get the job you want!

​
  • All my readings are online

  • All my readings will be in strict confidence

  • I cannot give professional advice on legal, medical or financial matters
