Okay, maybe I lost count or added a year or two, but right now I feel I can safely say Tarot has been a part of nearly half my life.
If not for when I first read for someone, then the first time I was read to.
If not for the first deck I bought for myself, then for my late Grandfather's Lenormand deck my Mom gifted to me when I first showed interest.
Or the beautiful Steampunk Tarot deck (pictured above!!) that she bought for me, but assured me I shouldn't see it as her buying it but my own intent being manifested to gift it to me.
I still use that very same deck to this day.
I've read for a lot of people over the years, interestingly much more than I've read for myself. I never quite got to open up shop in a medieval fair or become the personal tarot reader of the local noble, but the experiences have been irreplaceable.

It's been a long journey, and I hope I'll still be around to recount it the next ten years from now.
If you want to help out in me sticking around, you could commission me for a reading at my
Any kind of support goes a long way. Maybe I'll never be the Princess' personal Tarot Reader with my own wing in the Royal Palace, but if I'm ever able to pay the bills and live-off from my own readings, I'll take that too.
