All my readings are virtual

I lived in NYC for 15 years.  I moved to Sydney but my old clients kept wanting readings. What could I do?

For me,  the substance of the tarot reading is the cards that you draw,  from a deck that you have shuffled.  I cannot shuffle for you.  I've tried,  but I can't get clear readings from it.


So how was I to do my readings from across the ocean?  I asked my regulars to get their hands on a tarot deck - it didn't matter which one,  as long at it was a full 78 cards (some of the fancier ones have fewer cards and I can't make sense of them either.)  But if you are buying one specifically,  I recommend the Rider Waite Smith Radiant.  It's pretty and easy to read.  Then,  they could shuffle and do the first layout.  And I could do the rest. 


So now most of my clients are in the US,  though I have done readings for people in Europe and elsewhere as well.  You get to sit in the quiet and comfort of your own home,  and you get to the shuffle the cards.

We start with the Celtic Cross Layout


And then I can answer 3-4 questions depending on how fast we talk!

I also recommend that people record these readings. If you don't want it, then you can just delete it,  but if you do want it,  I can't always recall the exact sentence I said to you.  I've had people who never listen, and people who've relistened so often that I can hear my own phrases when they talk to me.  Either way is good, what works for you is what matters.

Welcome to Tribeca Tarot

January is traditionally one of my busier months.  People want to see what the year ahead holds,  want to discuss what did or didn't happen last year and how to shift/improve/encourage events in the new year.


If you have never had a tarot reading, please explore my blog,  there is so much information here!  I've been writing it since 2009 and reading cards even longer than that.  If you have a particular card you want to explore,  just go up to the B symbol on the upper left hand side and write whatever you are interested in the search box there and relevant blog pieces will appear.  


If you haven't had a tarot reading with me before,  for me the magic is in the shuffling.  So while most of my readings are virtual,  I still need you to hold the cards.  You can borrow or buy a deck - if you are buying,  I recommended the Rider Waite Smith Radiant - because they are prettier and easy to read.  But if you already have a deck,  as long as it has a full 78 cards,  I can read it. 

So you shuffle and then draw the cards and we lay them out in the Celtic Cross spread.  Then I talk to you about them for about 5-7 minutes,  and then we discuss what resonated with you, what didn't,  if the cards felt accurate and if you want more clarification on anything. 


Then we usually have time for about 3 or so questions,  and then the hour is up.  


Right now I read for mainly return clients,  so I know I am doing something right, as people keep coming back! If you want to make a booking,  just drop a line at tribecatarotreader@gmail.com and we can start.
