I have done a lot of reading and research over the last 20 years on several different decks and perspectives on the Tarot and interpretations of the cards. I will admit though, that the most intensive of that research was the first 5 years and the last 5 years. In between I had my family to rear.
Beyond just my family, I also had other growing to do. I had personal spiritual growth, and intellectual growth. I had a bachelor's degree to obtain, jobs to hold, relationships. In the time between my first introduction to the Tarot and now, I have changed a lot. My perspective on life has changed. I have gone from the innocent, open-minded Fool, and traversed through the major arcana.
Does this mean that I have made it to the World? No, I don't think I have. I believe that I am still somewhere on my journey. Actually, I feel I am on many journeys. I feel that I am in many places on the same journey depending on which aspect of my life I am investigating. Spiritually, I am not in the same location as I am concerning long-term permanent relationships, which is not where I am learning to deal with finances, which is not where I am as a parent, which is not where I am as a student, which is not where I am as a mentor.
I am still the Fool, still learning, still growing, still traveling. I am still making choices, some of them not the best, some of them phenominal. Some days I look back on my week, and wonder how I could have been so naive. Other days, I look back and I am amazed at how well I did with so little.
My readings take these different perspectives into consideration. I don't claim to have the answers to all questions. That is not my place. My place is to give advice based on what information I get from the cards and the experiences I have overcome. This means the reading may take a little longer, but the outcome is a richer vision of what the cards have to share.
I don't typically do astrology readings, birth wheels or numerology readings. I will occasionally do I-Ching. Because of this, I don't have published rates for those services. Those will be on a case by case basis.
If you are interested in having a Tarot reading, please take a look at the spreads I am offering. Each has its own use and place. I don't ask for your full name and I don't require that you tell me what question you want answered. You may of course give me this information if you want to. I will tell you all of what the cards tell me. Sometimes they have a message to give that doesn't strictly relate to your query, and sometimes it is more important than your query, so I never try to narrow my response to just one thing. I have found over time that when I let myself speak what the cards show me, the querent (you) almost always knows the situation that is being brought up, and it is usually something important that the querent just didn't want to talk about. I won't ask. That is your business.
What I have decided to focus on with this site is my Tarot readings. I have done a lot of reading and research over the last 20 years on several different decks and perspectives on the Tarot and interpretations of the cards. My readings take these different perspectives into consideration. This means the reading may take a little longer, but the outcome is a richer vision of what the cards have to share. I don't do astrology readings or numerology readings, so I have links to a site that provides them. I will occasionally do I-Ching, but I don't feel comfortable doing I-Ching for others, so I also suggest Tarot.com for those who are interested in I-Ching. The links to the left will take you to the right portion of their site.

I have picked up I Ching again after a long hiatus. I Ching is a divination system that comes from the Chinese phrase "to change". There are 64 sets of 6 lines called hexagrams. Each line can be either borken (Yin) or unbroken (Yang). Each hexagram is further broken down into four 3-line trigrams. The order of the lines in each trigram points to paragraphs in an accompanying text. Some line combinations are "changing", while others are "unchanging". Line change to their opposites.
The line combinations also have themes as well. They point toward a person in the family (relationship), a portion of the body, a portion of nature, a character attribute, a state of mind, a compass direction and an animal.The first trigram in the set is the "inner" trigram and the second trigram is the "outer" trigram. Together, they show how the inner aspect relates to the outer situation.
