MORE FAQS
1. What is tarot?
My answer—a mirror of the soul and helpful tool for self-illumination. The real answer—cartomancy, a form of divination where certain cards have certain meanings in response to your questioning.2. What’s the difference between oracle cards and tarot cards?
Oracle cards can have any imagery, theme, or messaging. They’re made to be more accessible than tarot cards to read. Tarot cards follow the basic structure of a tarot deck—major arcana & minor arcana cards. The messaging of each card may differ in tone but is overall the same no matter the deck. You can ask similar questions to both—I treat tarot cards like a general practitioner and oracle cards like specialists.3. Do I have to tell you my question to get a reading?
No. A big part of me reading for you is my cards picking up on your energy. If you’d like to keep your question private, try to focus on the question or situation you’re inquiring about during the shuffle. It shouldn’t affect the reading at all and may be ideal if you’re worried about projections (although I do make an effort to remain neutral).4a. (For in person readings) Why do I shuffle the deck too?
It’s how I introduce my deck to your energy. You don’t have to shuffle the deck well or very long. Just breathe, try to clear your mind and focus on the energy of the question or the question itself. If you find this hard, focus more on allowing yourself to relax.4b. (For virtual readings) How does the deck connect with my energy?
This is why I request a song for virtual readings. Playing a song you connect with helps me bring the deck into your world. Music has historically been an effective medium between us and the beyond.4c. (For virtual readings) How do I pick the right song?
You'll know deep down which one to send. Take a deep breath and allow a song to come to mind. It will likely be one your body responds to when you hear it. It doesn't need to be your favorite as long as it moves you (or makes you move).5. What do I need to bring with me/prepare?
Nothing but an open mind! Try to be open to whatever message the universe will deliver, but nervous energy will not disturb my ability to read for you.6. If I get a reading about the future, does that mean it will happen?
Not exactly. Future readings speak on energy present in the moment you are receiving them. If you don’t like what you see, you may still be able to change it. A future reading is never the full picture either, just the energy of the moment inquired on.7. Can I ask yes or no questions?
You can, but be ready to potentially receive a nondescript answer. Tarot loves nuance so not every yes/no question will be crystal clear.8. Can the tarot tell me what to do?
My decks will not. Tarot is better for helping you clarify the energy behind different choices or the energy around how you are making a decision. It can give you clues as to what a good choice may look like for you, but it will never decide for you. The tarot will only “tell you what to do” if this is a defining moment for you and your path.9. Do you travel for readings?
If you are in the Los Angeles area and would like to read with me in person, contact [email protected].10. What kind of payments are accepted? Do you have payment plans?
I do card payments through Stripe online, but I can also receive payments through PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo. Venmo is preferred for tips/donations. Stripe and PayPal are preferred for online orders.
I currently cannot do payment plans for orders, but if you are interested in payment plans for live sessions, contact [email protected].
