When it comes to tarot, ethics matter. As someone who offers tarot as a tool for personal growth, clarity, and self-reflection, I believe it’s crucial to be clear about the principles guiding my practice. My goal has always been to create a safe, empowering, and inclusive space where you can explore your journey without fear, judgement, or false promises. That’s why I’ve updated my Ethical Tarot Readings policy, refining it to reflect my continued commitment to transparency, integrity, and respect for both you and the tarot itself.
You can check out the full updated policy here. Below, I’ll dive into why these ethical guidelines are important and what they mean for your tarot reading experience.
Why Ethics Are Essential in Tarot
The tarot world can sometimes feel overwhelming or even intimidating. There are many voices, each offering different styles of readings, and it’s not always easy to know who you can trust. Some practitioners make grand predictions, others promise to connect you with loved ones who’ve passed, and there are even those who use the cards as a way to manipulate or control outcomes. It can be a minefield, especially if you’re seeking clarity during a challenging time in your life.
That’s why having a clear ethical framework is essential. Tarot, at its core, is a tool for insight and self-reflection—not for making bold claims or predicting the future. In my practice, I focus on you and your journey, helping you reflect on your current situation and empowering you to make your own choices moving forward. My goal is to offer guidance, not dictate what will happen next. This distinction is important because it helps maintain the integrity of both the practice and our shared space during a reading.
Key Updates in My Ethics Policy
The recent update to my ethics policy builds on what’s always been at the heart of my practice, with a few additional refinements to ensure I’m holding myself to the highest standards possible. Here are a few key points you can expect when booking a reading with me:
- Focus on Self-Reflection, Not Prediction: While some may come to tarot for predictions, I don’t provide specific forecasts about the future. Instead, my readings focus on you—your current situation, the patterns showing up in your life, and how you can navigate your path forward. Tarot helps shine a light on what’s already happening within and around you, but ultimately, you make the choices that shape your future.
- Empowerment Over Dependence: One thing I want to emphasise is that tarot is not something to become reliant on. It’s easy to fall into the trap of constantly seeking answers from the cards, especially during times of uncertainty. But my role as a tarot reader is to empower you to trust your own intuition and inner wisdom. Tarot offers insights, but your life is ultimately yours to shape.
- Inclusivity and Safe Space: No matter your background, beliefs, or identity, you are welcome here. My readings are LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and I aim to create a judgement-free environment where you can explore your spiritual path and personal questions. I believe tarot should be accessible to everyone, and I am committed to offering a safe space where you feel supported, respected, and heard.
- Confidentiality Guaranteed: What’s shared in a tarot reading stays within that reading. I take your privacy seriously, ensuring that our sessions are confidential and that you feel safe to open up about whatever is on your mind. I want you to feel comfortable exploring personal matters without worrying that your details will be shared elsewhere.
- No Mediumship or Messages from Spirits: It’s important to clarify that my tarot readings are not about communicating with the deceased or providing messages from the other side. My focus is on reflection and personal insight. While tarot can evoke powerful emotional responses, it’s not a substitute for mediumship or spiritual communication.
Why This Matters: Trust, Empowerment, and Integrity
At the heart of any meaningful tarot reading is trust. You’re not just coming to me for advice—you’re allowing me to enter into a space where you might be feeling vulnerable, uncertain, or searching for clarity. That’s not something I take lightly. It’s my responsibility to honour your trust by offering readings that are honest, transparent, and focused on empowering you.
By having a clear ethics policy, I’m making a promise to you. A promise that I will always be upfront about what tarot can and cannot do. A promise that I won’t sugarcoat or offer false hope. And a promise that I will always respect your autonomy, never imposing my beliefs or assumptions on you.
In today’s world, where spiritual practices can sometimes feel commercialised or misused, I believe it’s more important than ever to provide a tarot experience rooted in integrity. This isn’t just about pulling cards and interpreting symbols—it’s about creating a meaningful, empowering connection that supports you on your journey.
What You Can Expect Moving Forward
If you’ve had a reading with me before, much of this won’t come as a surprise. But if you’re new to my practice, I hope this helps give you a clearer idea of what to expect. My updated ethics policy is a reflection of my ongoing commitment to ethical, person-centred tarot readings, where your well-being and personal growth are the priority.
I encourage you to read the full policy here and reach out if you have any questions. Whether you’re coming to tarot for the first time or you’ve been working with the cards for a while, I’m here to provide the clarity, support, and insight you need—without the fluff, without the BS, and with full respect for your journey.
I’m excited to continue offering tarot readings that are rooted in honesty, inclusivity, and ethical integrity. Let’s move forward together, using tarot as a tool for reflection, self-insight, and, most importantly, empowerment.
