‘What is Tarot? Tarot is a method of providing information to you about your life so you can take action to live in the reality of your choice. Think of it like a getting a message from a divine light bulb, and Tarot as a slowly rotating lamp shade over that light that allows you to observe its pure energy. It helps you put things in perspective, to help make sense of the world, to help you make decisions as you encounter the flow of events and intersect with your manifested cubes of opportunity across the timelines of your life.
Who I am. I am the most integrated, whole self I have ever been. I am as grounded as I am connected to spirit. When I read, I form a bond through myself from heaven to earth, a circuit of energy. I am now an integrated being. I am living in an awakened environment, a truly authentic event for an individual to perceive. Reading Tarot is part of that authentication. I am the sum total of my influences. If reading Tarot is part of the answer to the question, "What are you going to do with your life?" Then I will read Tarot, keep my mind active, use my time productively, merge with the I am, and help people along the way. When I read, I feel like the message being received is being channelled through the liminal meniscus of time and space, like the Delphic Oracle, or as Demeter sits at the well waiting for Persephone, or seeing the source of the flickering shadows on Plato's cave, or glimpsing behind the veil of The High Priestess, while she laughs at us. I use metaphor in my readings, it's natural and flows with me. Poetry is also part of my life who I am. When I do a reading, I push the question out there, and the answer flows back. It's always a little artistic, poetic, mystical, and dreamy. I am connected. When I read I am atmospheric, I am connected to the art of Tarot, it's 'magic'. I am extremely aware of the evils in this world in all their subtleties. When reading, I see a chance to expand the light, I am telling a story, telling a yarn, giving you a 'reading' of your 'life'. I will embellish a little to bring a smile for a moment, give hope, lighten the load, and do some healing. I will not leave your path darkened. I will always try to leave a little bit of light. So if "Tarot readings are for entertainment purposes only," then I will achieve that too. Tarot is Art, Art is Life, Life is Tarot. ... also, my Spirit Guides are interventionists.
