it's not by any means the only type of reading I offer, but LOTS of my clients are going through career transitions, or are looking to kickstart an artistic, magical, or spiritual project of some kind. so I really love looking at a couple potential narratives.

1: we chat a little bit about what you want to get out of the cards and, if you're totally new to the cards, I can give you an intro
2: we get the lay of the land of the problem / question
3: we compare/contrast 2-3 options
and the hour actually goes really fast!

11/fin: the most critical thing in my practice is that I don't want someone walking away feeling unmoored or unanswered, and that's going to look different for every client depending on what they're seeking.

10/ I don't charge by number of cards / the spread I'm using, I charge by time, because part of my job is helping someone find the right question and/or sequence of questions to ask.

8/ Tarot is SO much fucking fun, but it's also really tender, and I need the space before and after to make sure I'm taking good care of my clients and myself.

7/ The other facet is, whether you think it "works" or not, creating a good reading experience is a lot of work. People naturally want to use Tarot to explore heavy questions. I'm providing an uninterrupted hour of vent time.

6/ the need for asking for that is important to keep it from being a free-for-all (ask me how i know) (don't)

5/ Divination is fun, but it's not a basic human need that requires accommodating. Which is not to say that I don't accommodate, because I do make space in my schedule for reduced price readings if someone's genuinely interested.

4/ If you're looking for divination from other people often enough that this is an issue, you should probably teach yourself. (there's a whole rabbit hole I could go on here about responsible question asking)

3/ There's two key facets of this to me and the first is this idea that Tarot spreads and "card pulls" shouldn't be expensive, but cost actually acts as a gateway from overuse.

2/ It's $122 for an hour (live, one-on-one) session with me, and in some circles I get hand smacks for charging too little, and in others people think I'm _clearly_ scamming, which, lol.

I work with Tarot and Lenormand in combination and am extremely beginner-friendly; please don't feel like you need exposure to either first before having a reading with me!
