Ask a Silly Question ....

Ask a Silly Question..... To get the best from your reading, you need to know how to ask a good question. The mind thinks in questions. When we ask a question, it sends a message to the brain that we are looking for an answer. The quality of the answers Read More

It's Obvious!

Never Overlook the Obvious A couple of recent readings reminded me of an incident that happened a few years ago, when I was a relatively inexperienced reader. A woman phoned me, very distressed that she had been dismissed from her job, over an Read More

But I'm Not Psychic!

But I'm Not Psychic! Do you need to be "psychic" to read the Tarot? NO, you don't! You can do a very meaningful reading without hearing any voices or seeing any visions. The cards alone will give you a huge amount of information just by themselves. Read More

Delivering Bad News

Reading in Public

Reading in Public   Because the Tarot goes right to the heart of people's lives, I am very wary of reading in situations that compromise people's privacy. When I was starting out I did a couple of readings live on radio "for fun" that made me Read More
