My sojourn into the world of Tarot began one hot June day in Madison, Wisconsin. My friend and I had the same birthday and were just graduating from the University. We both gave each other a deck of tarot cards as presents. She never really touched them again, but by my next birthday, I had become the defacto reader for my entire group of friends and family. For the next 5 years I traveled from Madison to Berlin to San Francisco and finally landed in Seattle, reading for everyone along the way.
On some level I know I accepted this path, but honestly I feel like
it chose me.
I come from a long line of spooky artists on my dad's side of the family and have been influenced by old world catholics from my mom's. I had a great-aunt who, although she wasn't very friendly, used an old card deck from the northern lands and predicted the birth of my baby sister.
Over the years I have owned the (extremely) sensitive and psychic side of myself. It has sometimes been a struggle because this society doesn't really support people who choose to use their sensitive natures rather than suppress them. Intuition is seen as a 'female' thing that is less valuable than cold hard facts. In reality, our intuition is a massive information machine. If all humans were to listen to their gut feelings and tap into the cosmic channel we would be building paradise rather than hell on earth. I use my gifts to help my clients see and hear themselves in the midst of the psychic static in this capitalist, competitive information age.
