Tarot readings are open

If there’s a question on your mind, or a specific situation you would like some guidance with, I want you to know that I provide tarot readings via email. I try to respond to requests within twenty-four hours, and ask only for a small donation in return, provided that you are completely satisfied with your reading, and you are able to afford it.

That’s the short version. Here’s the longer one…

I’ve been offering tarot readings and other types of consultations for quite some time, but earlier this year I had to close my services to the public. While I still provided assistance to family, friends, and friends-of-friends, my life had become hectic enough that I didn’t feel comfortable with an ongoing commitment to provide readings to others.

Fortunately, things have since settled down, and I’m now in a position to offer consultations to anyone who wants one.

During the time when my consultations were closed, though, I came to some conclusions about how I wanted structure my services, as well as how to best meet both my need to help people as well as my need to pay rent. It was after a lot of meditation and soul-searching that I came up with what I think is the best solution, at least for now.

At this time, I am only providing tarot readings via email, rather than over the phone or through a service like Zoom. This not only affords me the flexibility that scheduling “face-to-face” consults lacks, it also means that I can get back to clients much sooner. I do my absolute best to respond to clients within twenty-four hours, and am usually able to respond more quickly than that.

I also decided that I did not want to request any payment in advance of the services I preform. Rather, I wanted to experiment with a donation-based approach. That is, I ask clients to consider making a donation after I have handled their request. I have a provided a “suggested donation,” which is a dollar amount that I feel fairly compensates me for the time and effort I put into my work.

I prefer this arrangement for two reasons which are both very important to me.

First, I don’t want anyone to be reluctant to reach out for assistance because they aren’t in a good financial position. A person’s ability to pay will have no bearing on the quality of service I provide.

Second, I want every client to be 100% satisfied with their consultation, and to not worry that they’re simply “out the money” if they don’t feel that they received a good value. I think the best way for this to happen is to leave money “off the table” until our work is done. And if you are dissatisfied with your consultation for any reason, please let me know so that I can try to address your concerns.

At the end of our exchange, I will provide a link which you can use to send a donation. Please use it if, and only if, you are thoroughly satisfied with my work, and you are able to afford it.

With that said, and with the understanding that I will try my best to help everyone, I do reserve the right to revise this policy in the future, or to politely decline to provide a consultation if I feel as though I am being unfairly taken advantage of. I truly do not think this will be necessary, though.

If you would like to know more, please read my updated terms and conditions page. If you would like a tarot reading, you can request one here. If you have any questions, or just want to say “hello,” please email me and I’ll get back to you soon.

Have a great week!

Open for Tarot consultations

I’m now offering Tarot readings. If you’d like one, please request a Tarot reading here.

If you’d like to know more about why I’m offering this service, please read on.

Some backstory

I’ve been studying magic for thirty years. For many of those years, my relationship with it could best be described as “on again, off again,” but for most of the last decade I’ve practiced some sort of magic every single day. And in 2017, I decided to make magic my full-time occupation.

Being a “full-time wizard” has its perks, but it’s also not exactly what I was expecting.

I expected the non-stop reading, studying, and practicing. And I also expected many of the sacrifices I’ve had to make, which take the form of strained relationships and an…unconventional approach to life in general.

What I didn’t expect is that this wouldn’t be enough.

Over the last year, I realized that while being a magician is absolutely what I’m supposed to be doing, I’m not supposed to be doing it just for myself.

I’ve said before that I’m not entirely sold on the idea of “True Will,” (as you’ll find some Western occultists describe it) but I do believe we each have an “ideal life” we should embrace and live to the fullest.

As it turns out, my ideal life includes using magic to help others. And while I’ve offered my services to family, friends, and friends of friends over the years, there’s more work I need to do.

To that end, I’m now providing Tarot consultations to the general public.

Today

I’m offering five-card, single-question readings for $25.00. These readings will be written, conducted over email, and will answer your specific question. My answer will include a photograph of the cards I draw, as well as a detailed description of what I see in them.

If you request a reading, I will get back to you within twenty-four hours to clarify your question, if needed, and to arrange payment. I try to answer all questions within seventy-two hours of payment being received.

My focus in providing this service is to give my clients the information they need, when they need it. A five-card, single-question Tarot reading does exactly that. It gets right to the heart of the matter with no beating around the bush.

And by conducting these readings via email, there’s no need to schedule an appointment weeks or months in advance. There’s less waiting and more doing.

Tomorrow and beyond

In the future, I hope to offer additional services, such as natal, horary, and electional astrology consultations, as well as other forms of magical assistance. I’m also hoping to offer many of these services either over the phone, over a video chat, or even in-person. However, we’re living in interesting times, and doing “magic for hire” is new to me.

So, I’m starting small, with a service I know I can deliver quickly, and seeing whether or not this “feels” right. The very last thing I want to do is to offer a full menu of services, end up biting off more than I can chew right now, and leave my clients high and dry.

If I expand my services, I’ll announce it here on the blog.

Request a reading today

If you’re still here, and have a question you’d like me to answer, please request a Tarot reading today.

I’m looking forward to working with you.
