If we raise more than $100 (which I don’t anticipate but you never know?!) I donate half or all of it to a cause I care about. At this time I’m partial to Counterbalance ATX The Texas Campaign for the environment Unidos for Puerto Rico Who should I add to this list? Contact me to let me know. If I make less than $100, more likely, I keep it and use it for the stuff listed at my tip jar.

I talk about what I believe about the tarot at my Philosophy page and a little bit more here. I am not a Christian or a Satanist so the devil isn’t a part of my world view. So in my case and from my perspective, no. I am also not a pagan or any other kind of secularist. But I respect your opinion and if YOU believe they are evil, useless, whatever, do YOU and don’t get a reading from me then. =D I’m not great for folks looking for proof of a subjective truth about tarot. Firstly, because I don’t believe in one and also because I use my tarot to give you the experience you are looking for, with the assumption we have compatible views about tarot. See my writing everywhere to get a sense of that. If you don’t have some concept of what you’re looking for and what you believe the tarot do for you in the first place it’s harder, if not impossible, to do that.

Firstly, you don’t have to have a question. If you don’t I’ll do a general reading asking something like “what do you need to know about eclipse season?” But if you’d rather ask a question, ask something that you don’t mind talking about in front of an audience. Sometimes readings hit on some personal things and I wouldn’t want this to take you buy surprise. Make sense? Before even asking a question consider what would the best reading in the world do according to you? You don’t need experience with tarot to answer this. Pretend anything is possible and answer that question first. Examples: “The best reading would… reassure me about… lay out the truth about… clarify… allow me to… give me confidence about… tell me if…” Once you answer this initial question you will have a sense of what your question should be. Timing questions are hit or miss for me with such short readings, but I will do them. They sound like “when will...” Bear in mind questions like that assume something WILL happen and if it’s something you can’t know will happen, it skews things. If you think the best reading will prove that I’m psychic in 5 minutes or less, let me save you the trouble and say, don’t get a live mini-reading. We may not believe the same things about tarot and so may not be compatible. I believe this is what someone focuses on when they want to distance themselves by focusing on me. It might happen in 5 minutes.  Might not. I won’t care either way and here’s why. I tell my clients to prove my reading wrong. I tell them they control their destiny. I dare them to. I tell my clients it’s not about me and that any gift I may or may not have is a distraction. And I mean all that. Since I’m offering my service for almost free and distant folks aren’t juicy for me and aren’t what I’d choose to spend this time on, I’d just as well focus on the readings where people are willing to open up and ask a question that’s about them.

Hi! I’m Siobhan! I’m a New York transplant living in Austin, TX. I’ve been reading about 21 years and professionally about 3. I’m a Buddhist-leaning agnostic. By that I mean, I’m not secular but maintain a dedicated daily practice. Without a doubt, I talk about mindfulness more than anything else. I’ve studied ritual magick, facilitation, Toltec shamanism, Tantric Yoga, kink and polyamorous relationships in depth and all that informs how I read. For more see the bio below or my About me.

This will be relative to how many people are watching. I’ve not broadcasted in a loooonog time so I assume there won’t be many people. I have a terrible track record for anticipating support. I wouldn’t be surprised if 5 people showed up or if 500 people did. If only 5 people show up, that’s like 12 minutes a person. If more than than shows up I’ll try to hover between 3 and 5 minutes. And I’ll fail ‘cuz I’ll be having fun. FORGIVE ME IN ADVANCE.

I doubt anybody wants to know this, but I made a Google Calendar with the info and I think it’s cool af so here it is: Astro Lunar Calendar GCal Astro Lunar Calendar ICal

Those were my subscribers. They know from reading the newsletter that I’m trying give them the best reading so they helping me co-create that experience by telling me what that means to them.

I’ll be honest, I doubt I’ll do this often publicly. To get on Periscope with y’all I created a web page, a contact form, a newsletter, a timeline, and even did my hair. That’s a lot of stuff. I’m not really a keep-it-simple sort because I love how smooth things are when I put the effort in. At the same time, I don’t have a lot of spoons. In other words, I have limited time and energy to pull from for donation-based activity. Do I value staying accessible to those who can’t afford my readings? Absolutely. That’s why I’ll offer readings like this regularly in the membership area of my site. To both stay accessible and have an easy way to raise money for causes I care about. Here’s the wait-list for that space. Note that I’ll only take 50 people in that space. Again, limited spoons. I also offer other kinds of free readings seasonally to my newsletter subscribers.
