Tarot Articles
I am an experienced Tarot reader, having performed over thirteen
hundred readings over the past three years. I am a Certified
Tarot Master and the youngest person in the world to hold that
rank. I've learned many things on my quest through the Tarot;
things beginners should know before starting a Tarot practice,
and things experienced readers should know before daring to call
themselves masters. I have recorded this information in some
of my articles.
New Material Added Aug.6!
Tarot Card Meanings
Also on this site, I have posted my personal interpretations of
every card in the standard Tarot deck, derived through my actual
experience in working with the cards - not from a textbook. For
more experienced readers, this section will sometimes prove
insightful, sometimes contradictory to what you already believe.
I encourage you to read it anyway, but don't let my views sway
you from your established beliefs.
Tarot Spreads
This section is a list of some of the spreads I use, mainly of
my own design, though featuring some that were created by my
peers in the Tarot community. For more experienced readers who
want to try reading without spreads, I also describe my
Stream-of-Consciousness reading techniques.
Deck and Book Reviews
As part of my Certified Tarot Master certification I wrote a
number of book and deck reviews, to let other Tarot readers know
what I feel about certain decks and works of literature.
Code of Ethics
It is critical for every professional Tarot reader to have a code
of ethics to guide their conduct and prevent them from doing harm
to others, or to themselves. On this page you will find the code
I personally adhere to.
Tarot Links
Finally, a collection of links to what I consider the best Tarot
related pages on the Internet today.
Questions?
If you have a question about Tarot that the material on this
website did not answer, I'd be happy to share some of my wisdom
and experience with you. If you're having trouble interpreting
a spread, maybe I can help. E-mail me at
