The Tarot Experience The Tarot Experience is more than just a tarot reading Tarot is a tool we use to explore your personal or business concerns, determining where the issues are, gaining some insight and awareness, and determining potential actions that lead to positive outcomes. Tarot is a tool for assessing a situation as it is now. Although tarot can be used to show us the future, my own focus is not on fortune telling or reading the future. My focus in a reading remains more on where you are now and what has led you to this point. The present is as it is now because of choices made in the past. The future is based on choices we make now. Tarot is a tool  that helps us to explore our choices, discover the hurdles in the path  and determine which is the best way forward. A tarot reading can sometimes provide us with a glimpse into a possible future which is based on matters as they are now, at the time of the reading. We are all blessed with free will and have the power to change this if we choose to. Even if a possible future appears great and positive, it does not mean that it automatically drops into our lap; we still need to work at it, providing the action that leads to the desired outcome. (A lotto win requires the action of buying a ticket) Each tarot card has multiple meanings depending on its position and the surrounding cards. I translate the cards based on years of training and intuition. Together we explore your concerns and achieve some insight and a sense of awareness. The Queen of Cups (above) is from The Druidcraft Tarot by Phillip Carr-Gomm; published by St Martins Press. The Readings Many people choose to begin a session with a general reading. The cards reveal a theme related to issues that are happening now. The cards show us how and why this situation has developed in your life and also gives an indication of possible actions and outcomes. If you have a specific question, we use a spread, or card layout, that reveals some insights and answers to that particular question or issue in your life. Sometimes life is in such chaos that we find it difficult to even form a coherent question. We can ask the cards to help us form your questions. As there are many possibilities within each card, its current position and its neighbours, it is generally more effective to actually have a specific query to ask the cards. A general reading results in general answers; a specific query results in specific answers. Most sessions begin with a general reading which develops a theme, and then another one or two card spreads to answer more specific queries. A reading is about translating the cards which I can do in a straight forward manner. However, if the issues are intense or locked deep within, we can work together to gain some understanding and insight into the situation and reveal positive actions to achieve your best outcomes. Everyone is treated with sincerity and respect. I hold all sessions and information in the strictest confidence, and do not judge your past, present or future actions.
