I Tell You What I See, and You Decide What It Means

I grew up Christian, and I don’t mean the once-a-year sort. I played drums, I ran the sound desk, I prayed for people, I did words of knowledge and youth work, and I got the full charismatic works with it. I also learned how to move a room with sound and lighting. Once you know how easy that is, you can’t unknow it, and you start clocking when somebody’s beliefs and their soft spots are being used on them.

I left in my mid-20s. I had watched a belief system get used as a weapon on the people it was meant to be looking after, and that was that. But I took the skills out with me. I went and studied audio engineering and came out with a triple distinction in music technology, and I kept working on the rest of it too, the reading people, the holding a room steady while something hard is happening in it. They are the same skills I walked in with. I just don’t point them at anybody now.

Who Finds Their Way Here

I’m AuDHD, which is autistic and ADHD together, and I’m non-binary. A lot of the people I read for are neurodivergent or queer or both. I have never once run an ad at them. People who would rather have honesty than a performance seem to find their way here on their own.

I care about what a belief does to a person, more than the story we tell about why it works. Orthopraxy over orthodoxy, if you want the words for it. You can be a hard sceptic and still get something out of an hour with the cards, and plenty of the people I read for are exactly that. You can be a Christian and get something out of it too. I am not here to take anybody’s faith off them.

That is also why I will not be your authority on the cards. I sat under people who held the meaning of things on everybody else’s behalf, and I saw what that does to a person over time. Tarot pulls the same trick when nobody is watching. Somebody decides what the Five of Cups means and the rest of us look it up. So I will give you the traditional meanings, the symbolism, and where they came from, because you cannot join a conversation without the words for it. What you see in the card after that counts.

For the record, I’m a Certified Sound Healing Practitioner, a Psychic Tarot Coach and an LGBTQ+ Coach, and I’m a member of TABI. None of that means I’m right about anything. It means somebody has checked my paperwork, which is not the same bloody thing.
