Are you typical of your star sign? If so, how?
Internally, I am a constant rebalancing of my sun—Capricorn—and rising—Libra—signs. I instinctively know which way is most fruitful, and it's deeply important to me that we travel, and arrive, as an equitable team.
How long have you been giving readings for?
I have been practicing energy readings since I was a small child. My grandmothers and mother taught me, both intentionally and unintentionally. We are the most recent in a long lineage of medicine women and healers from several traditions. In 1980, I bought my first tarot deck—Thoth—and learned all the symbology. I've since branched out into many symbolic traditions, and use them when I feel called. By default, however, I begin my readings by accessing my lineage's roots as seers, seiðr workers, and oracles.
What advice would you give to those customers contemplating their first reading?
It's all about you! What are the steps you can take now to discern, and live into, your best life, your best self, according to you? This is your one wild and precious life. Ask for support with whatever you need to experience its miracle, knowing that, at the end of the day, it's all about you.
What do you do for fun outside of psychic readings?
I write, teach, do improv and make art!
What prompted you to start giving readings?
As I've aged, I've come to believe that our whole mission here is to heal: heal ourselves, our families, our communities, our species, and our earth. This is one of the ways I do my best to heal us individually and communally.
What spiritual skills do you have?
Wow, this is a question... I see the spiritual in everything, and don't think you really want a line-list of things I can do (though I'll give you the hint that measuring and accurately tracking time would not be on it). I am graced with a holistic, lived, connection with the sacred in and around us. I communicate with the divine in every moment. This is, from one perspective, is my only spiritual skill, because it's the only spiritual skill. Grace does the work. I witness and repeat.
What tools do you use within your readings?
Most of my work is oracle work where I scry on whatever is around me (there's an obsydian mirror on my desk, among other things). That said, I sometimes use other things, such as cards or runes. I'm trained in a variety of reading methods and I let my intuition guide me.
What’s your most memorable psychic experience?
When I was young, I needed a car and could barely afford an elderly used vehicle, but I knew exactly what I wanted. I decided to call my mechanic and ask if they knew of someone who was selling a similar one. But I hadn't called in at least a year. I had a feeling I should just try to remember the number. So I sat at the phone and waited for the numbers to come to me. When I'd dialled the appropriate number of digits, a man answered and I described the car I wanted, then asked if he knew of anyone selling one. He said yes, his son was selling one exactly like that. His son then sold me the car at about half what I would have paid for it, because he didn't have to go through the hassle of selling it. I discovered, when I went to meet him, that I hadn't called my mechanic. I had cold called a stranger selling precisely the car I was looking for.
When did you discover your gifts?
I didn't; I always had them. I only discovered that they were unusual when my mom told me to stop telling people about them because they wouldn't understand.
Why should a client choose you for their psychic reading?
I'm clear, honest, supportive, and will use my gifts, and work with all our guides, to support with integrity, compassion and wisdom garnered from the other side.
