FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
"How long does each tarot reading take?"
That is up to the host based on how much time they book and how many guests they invite. I make sure everyone gets a reading and try to spend the same amount of time with each person. When time allows, I like to spend 10-15 minutes with each guest. These small, intimate gatherings allow time for a full Celtic Cross, a ten-card spread that offers in-depth insight. However, I can do six card spreads that last 6-8 minutes or even three card spreads that last 4-5 minutes for events with big crowds. That's how I handle crowd control.
"How many people can you read for during a standard two-hour party?"
I can do 10-15 minute readings for about 10 guests or 6-8 minute readings for up to 18 guests.
If there are 19+ guests, I do 4-5 minute readings, which is time for up to 24 people.
If you have 25+ guests, you will need to book more time if you want every guest to have a tarot reading.
"Do you bring your own setup? What do you bring?"
Yes, I bring a table cloth and decorations, including electric candles and crystals. I also offer a booth that features sound-dampened walls, mood lighting, plus a table and chairs as well as a temperature-controlled pavilion for outdoor events!
"Will the tarot readings be private?"
Usually, everyone gathers around the table to listen and comment, making it an interactive group experience. Some guests prefer a private reading.
"Do you do group readings?"
I do couples readings, but other than that, I only read for individual people and pets, one at a time.
"What is a tarot party like?"
I show up with a duffle bag. You direct me to a comfortable reading area with a table, and I spend about 5 minutes beautifying the space. After that, everyone gathers around the table, and people volunteer one by one to have a reading. Sometimes, a guest or group prefers private readings, but usually everyone watches, making it an interactive group experience. Readings are 10-15 minutes per person at small, intimate gatherings and 6-8 minutes at parties with more than 10 guests. There is usually a lot of laughter, sometimes tears of relief or joy. Most guests take a picture of their tarot spread. I bring an Instaprint camera and photo sleeves so everyone can have a cute memento from the party too. I try to stay until everyone has had a reading!
"Is the tarot real? Is it magic?"
I consider it a useful tool for introspection that helps me examine situations from new perspectives. Others swear by it or even live by it like a religious faith! There are two kinds of people, those who believe in fate and those who don't. If you don't believe, then the tarot is just a card game, a parlor trick. But if you do, then every tarot card you are dealt was meant to be drawn by you at that specific moment in time, a message from the universe just for you.
"Is the tarot negative or demonic?"
The tarot is cardboard!
But seriously, no. Fate determines which cards coincidentally are placed before you. I'm just using my intuition to interpret the cards in addition to their traditional meaning and in line with what I sense about each guest.
"Is the tarot scary? What if I get bad news? Should I be worried?"
I don't give bad news. I may warn of a coming change or challenge, but no one walks out feeling like something bad is going to happen. That's not the vibe. It's a party! We're here to be happy and positive. There is no reason to be afraid. My readings are honest but positive and reassuring. Tarot is about introspection--ensuring your present choices and mindset align with your future goals. The cards tell a story about each guest--their past, their present, and their future is only a small part of that. My tarot readings are more validating than prophetic. Tarot gives us credit for our achievements while asking us to reflect upon our feelings, choices, and relationships. They tell the kind of future our past and present choices are leading us towards, so that we can prepare or change course.
"Do you travel outside of Charleston? Will you come to my Airbnb, private residence, business venue, etc?"
I'll travel anywhere in the tricounty area (Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston counties) for my standard fee, but I am willing to venture further if my transportation costs are paid.
