Readings
My philosophy on tarot is that the cards do not reveal information that you do not already know (even if only on an unconscious level). I use tarot as a tool to tap the subconscious — your inner self, to reveal hidden knowledge, passions, fears, hopes, goals and dreams on the verge of fulfillment. Consider reading this post on how to make the most of your reading experience.
By asking for a reading from me you understand that I will abide by my own personal reading philosophy and no others (see my page on the subject).
I prefer to read in person or over the phone. Please call or email to arrange an appointment for a reading. Payment is required upfront, before the reading, and I charge based on the spread used (typically $45 for 30 to 45 minutes). To arrange a reading call my office line at (765) 247-2494 and leave a voice message (typically this number goes directly to voicemail — but sometimes I am able to answer). I will be in contact with you as soon as I’m able to. I have two small children under the age of three, so sometimes it can take me a few hours to get back to you! Please do not call after 9 p.m. EST. It will make me very cranky. Thanks for understanding

You can get to the heart of an issue with a three card reading. This is one of the most versatile and flexible readings available. Past, present, future — body, mind, soul — option a, option b, outcome — etc., etc. If you find yourself at an impasse or just want some simple clarification on what energies are operating in your life at the moment, try this reading! Once you make payment, I’ll be in touch within 24 hours to sort out the details of what you’d like me to read or leave a note in the “message to seller” box upon check-out detailing specifically what you want me to read about.

My seven card romance reading uses a spread that specifically addresses the needs and desires of both parties, obstacles to overcome and an outcome of the relationship. Many of my clients love this kind of reading if all they want to know about is details concerning their relationship. Leave a note to me upon check-out with the names of both parties and birthdays if available. Once you make payment, I’ll be in touch within 24 hours giving you an estimate of when you can expect your reading.
A seven card romance reading is $35 and you can make payment through paypal by clicking here.
A seven card general reading addresses the energies operating in your life at the moment. It provides a snapshot of where you are physically, emotionally and spiritually and hints at where you might find yourself in the near future. This spread is very effective if you’re feeling stuck, in a rut, or confused about where you are/where you should be.

If you feel you have needs that might not be met by the readings you see above, please email me. I’m happy to throw a Celtic Cross or a larger spread for you on an individualized basis. From time to time I offer special readings. Information on upcoming specials can be found in my newsletter or on my blog.
I will be in contact with you within 24 hours after paying for a reading. Typically I am able to throw cards and read for you within 72 hours. If I am not able to do this, I will let you know and you may have the option of a refund. Transferring payment does not guarantee a reading (though you will get a refund if I am not able to complete a reading). I am happy to offer support on my readings for up to five days after — that is, I will answer questions and provide clarification on the cards.
