Question 1

Is Rosie psychic? Will a Tarot reading predict my future?

Accepted Answer

Rosie is an eclectic witch who trained with Lindsay Mack in the lineage of Soul Tarot. Rosie is not a psychic or a medium, but rather reads the cards from a present moment (rather than predictive) perspective. Soul Tarot focuses on the re-wilding of intuition and illuminates the energies and archetypes we can work with in the here and now.

Question 2

I’m curious about Tarot but not ready for a reading. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If you are curious about the Tarot, but still not comfortable booking a reading, Rosie suggests buying a deck and reading for yourself! Or feel free to reach out to Rosie with any questions or misgivings. She's more than happy to share her perspective. Always do what feels right, safe, and comfortable for you in this present moment.

Question 3

Is Tarot dangerous, evil, or...satanic?

Accepted Answer

Yikes! Definitely not. If it was, Rosie wouldn’t be doing it! Many mystical and traditionally female practices - including the Tarot - have been demonized by patriarchal organized religion. Tarot cards are simply archetypal symbols that provide guidance and invitations into deeper knowing.

However, while there is absolutely nothing dangerous or unsafe about the Tarot itself, Rosie does caution against unethical or predatory readers. Beware of anyone who purports to predict an unchangeable future, insists that you're "cursed" or that you have a "dark aura", or tries to sell you overpriced crystals or spell-work to ward off evil.

Question 4

I’ve heard that someone is supposed to give you your first Tarot deck. Is that true?

Accepted Answer

While it’s lovely to receive a gifted deck, it’s certainly not a pre-requisite to reading Tarot! This is a mysterious, wild, and intuitive practice without hard and fast rules. There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying your own Tarot deck and, in fact, can often create a more personal relationship with it!

Question 5

What’s the difference between Oracle and Tarot cards?

Accepted Answer

Tarot follows a specific traditional archetypal 78 card structure consisting of the Major and Minor Arcana. Oracle cards can contain any number of cards on any theme and their own system of interpretation. Both are beautiful mediums for communicating with Spirit and deepening one's own intuition.
