The Reading
Whether online or in-person, we'll start by talking about what you might be wanting to explore. This can be something very specific, or something more general. Most often the true 'subject' of the reading makes itself known through the cards that come up – and this might not always be what you expect! However, if you have a very specific line of enquiry, I will always process your reading with this in mind.
While we talk, I will shuffle the cards, then I’ll ask you to do the same (if it's a physical reading in-person). When we’re ready, I’ll start laying the cards – we will usually discuss these one or two at a time as the reading unfolds, until the layout is complete. I’ll ask you questions along the way – there are no right or wrong answers! It’s about what the images suggest to you; and together we interpret the connections.
I’ll then provide a re-cap of the whole reading, teasing out any last threads you might want to pay particular attention to.
After the reading, we’ll take a few minutes to close the session.
ONLINE READINGS:
I conduct readings by Skype or Zoom.
Email me to start with and we'll discuss what you'd like before making an appointment.
Readings in-person:
I also read from a dedicated work-space in my home, in the woods on the North edge of Fife. If you’re comfortable and able, I’m happy to welcome you here. Sometimes having a change from your usual environment can be beneficial for an experience like this. It’s not easily accessed by public transport, so a car or lift would be required – details at time of booking.
What to expect
Ethics
Tarot can be deeply insightful, inspiring, sometimes challenging. As with any exploratory experience, hopefully it will open doors. I will always seek to ensure that you are comfortable although ultimately, I will be inviting you to monitor your own comfort and communicate that with me as we go along.
Tarot can work alongside other forms of guidance you may be receiving; however, it is never a substitute for seeking medical, legal, psychotherapeutic or emergency support if that’s what you really need. If you’re coming to me I will assume you are making a responsible choice for yourself – I may ask questions before we embark on a reading, and under certain circumstances may redirect you if I feel you would be better served by a different route.
Anything discussed during a reading is confidential and free from personal judgement. I will never share any of your details with any third party, unless I have strong reason to believe harm may come to you or others.
