Everybody wants to know how it all started and how I realized that I could read tarot cards…

 

It was a really long process with an unexpected beginning.  When my second husband left me when I was 35 years old my entire world collapsed around me.  The details are pretty personal and I wouldn’t want to share those in this open forum, but for 2 years I never stopped crying.  Everything in my life was a big mess and went wrong.  One night I actually strongly considered suicide, but God had other plans for me. At that time, I had a friend who read tarot cards and when she did my first tarot reading for me she told me that one day I would read for and help many people.  Needless to say, I was amused and very sceptical because I didn’t know anything about reading tarot cards.  While I was going through my divorce, my friend gave me my very first pack of tarot cards, as well as a book with the meanings of the cards - she thought I needed something to distract me from all my problems.

 

I started to study all the cards, and about a year later I started reading for other people - family first and then friends later on.  From there, it simply snowballed to where I am today.  Now I understand that God put me through all those trial and tribulations because He was preparing me to help other people.

 

All of this happened approximately 20 years ago, and I never stopped reading tarot cards.  In the past 20 years I had a lot of people who accused me of being a devil, and told me that what I was doing is wrong, so let me make this very clear - since childhood my religion has been very precious to me, and I am a Christian.  At 19 I went to Bible College (and I know this part confuses a lot of people).  Not long ago, somebody told me that I should not mention the fact that I went to Bible College on my Facebook profile, but why would I want to remove something that is so precious to me??  I am not ashamed to say that I am a Christian and I am proud that I went to Bible College.  I also believe that my tarot reading is something between God and me and He is the only one that has the right to judge me for it.

 

I do believe that God works through me to help other people.  The day when I stop believing this, is the day when I will burn everything tarot-related that I have – cards, books, etc.  I don’t like to be told that I am “good” at tarot because I feel all the praise must go to God.  One thing that I want to prevent at all cost is that “oh wonderful me” syndrome.  Without God in my life, I am nothing  - He is the one that gave me this gift and I know that He can take it away at any time.

 

I am what they call a “light reader” – I connect with people on an emotional level.  This can be very draining at times and I am practicing now how to “close” myself when I am not reading cards.

 

I am also an ‘’empath’’.   Just a short explanation of what this means.  Being an empath is when you are affected by other people’s energies, and have an innate ability to intuitively feel and perceive others.  Your life is unconsciously influenced by others’ desires, wishes, thoughts, and moods.  Being an empath is much more than being highly sensitive and it’s not just limited to emotions.  Empaths can perceive physical sensitivities and spiritual urges, as well as just knowing the motivations and intentions of other people.  It’s not a trait that is learned.  You are always open, so to speak, to process other people’s feelings and energy, which means that you really feel, and in many cases take on the emotions of others.  Many empaths experience things like chronic fatigue, environmental sensitivities, or unexplained aches and pains daily.  An empath is a person who is capable of feeling the emotions of others despite the fact that they themselves are not going through the same situation.

 

This is me in a nutshell.  With me in the photo is my life partner of nearly 20 years, Danie.  He is honestly my biggest fan and supporter and believe in what I do.  I cannot imagine walking this road without him
