When reading cards, I don’t just give explanations of what the cards are supposed to mean; instead, I find what images in the cards pop out at me and what I am being told by my guides. I utilize crystals based on the energy I feel and surround my reading area with them. All cards are cleansed before and after each reading (as are my space and myself).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to think that it’s our energy and the cards doing most of the work when reading tarot. Your energy is pulling your cards. My intuition and gifts allow me to get a deeper innerstanding of what is going on and what may happen or what needs to change. It’s important to realize that tarot is not fortune-telling; it is a guide, showing a path. You are the one who has to work for it to change or manifest. I can not do that work for you, I can only show you a path.<\/p>\n\n\n

My first tarot deck-The Rider Tarot Deck
(This is the original box)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I read a variety of decks including Oracle decks- Viking Oracle<\/a>, Animal Spirit,<\/a> Dragon Oracle<\/a> (one of my most favorite decks to read for people), and Sacred Geometry Oracle<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I generally work with 1 main tarot deck, my Rider-Waite<\/a> (yes, the one I bought when I was 19), I will also use The Marigold Tarot Deck when the occasion calls for it. I find this deck, while accurate, to be a bit harsher in its truth. There is no sugarcoating when it comes to readings from the Marigold Tarot deck, however, it is still very insightful, honest, and straight to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Dreams of Gaia<\/a> is an alternative to the more conventional tart decks and is fun and insightful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
