WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST TAROT READING IN ASHLAND, KY
SO, YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT GETTING A TAROT READING?
Maybe you've been curious for a while. Maybe life just threw you a curveball and you need some clarity. Maybe a friend suggested it and you're like "why not?"
Whatever brought you here, you're probably wondering what actually happens during a tarot reading - especially if you've never done this before.
Let me break it down for you, Ashland-style.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: YOU DON’T NEED TO “BELIEVE” IN TAROT
Here's the thing nobody tells you - you don't have to be spiritual, mystical, or even particularly "into" this stuff for tarot to work. You just need to show up with an open mind and some questions.
I'm not going to make you hold crystals or burn sage or do anything that makes you uncomfortable. This is Ashland, Kentucky - not some woo woo wellness retreat. We keep it real here.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS DURING YOUR READING
Before You Arrive
If you're coming in person, just bring yourself. That's it. No special preparation needed. Though I will say - it helps to think about what you actually want guidance on. "Tell me everything" is way harder to work with than "I need help figuring out my career path" or "I don't know what to do about this relationship."
When You Get Here
We'll sit down, probably have some casual conversation to help you relax. I'll explain how I work with the cards. Then we'll dive in.
I use a spread (that's a specific layout of cards) based on what you're asking about. Sometimes it's three cards. Sometimes it's more. Depends on what you need.
During the Reading
This isn't a performance. I'm not going to gaze into a crystal ball or talk in a mysterious voice. I read the cards, tell you what they're showing, and we talk through it together.
You can ask questions. You can ask for clarification. You can say "that doesn't resonate with me" if something feels off. This is a conversation, not a lecture.
The cards show possibilities, patterns, and perspectives you might not have considered. They're not going to predict your exact future - life doesn't work that way. But they will give you insight into your situation and help you see your options more clearly.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
Look, I've been doing this for years, and I know what people in conservative areas worry about. "Is this against my faith?" "Will people think I'm weird?" "Is this even real?"
Here's what I can tell you: Tarot is a tool for self-reflection and guidance. That's it. I'm not summoning anything. I'm not trying to convert you to anything. I'm reading cards that help you tap into your own intuition and see your situation from different angles.
I also come from folk wisdom traditions - this area has a long history of people using cards, herbs, and intuition for guidance. It's part of our heritage, even if people don't always talk about it openly.
I also offer Reiki healing sessions for those interested in energy work alongside tarot readings. Some people find that combination particularly helpful when they're working through difficult situations.
AFTER YOUR READING
You'll leave with clarity on your situation, new perspectives to consider, and usually a sense of relief. Most people say they feel lighter after a reading - like they finally understand what's been weighing on them.
I don't do that thing where I tell you there's a curse on you and you need to pay me more money to remove it. That's garbage and I won't tolerate it. You pay for your reading, you get your reading, and that's it. If someone tries that with you, get up and leave. Demand your money back. It’s a scam.
COMMON QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
"How long does it take?" Most readings are 45-60 minutes depending on what you booked.
"Can I record it?" Absolutely. I actually offer to record the reading for you.
"What if the cards show something bad?" The cards show challenges, sure. Life has challenges. But they also show you how to handle them. I'm not here to scare you - I'm here to help you navigate whatever you're facing.
"Do I need to know anything about tarot?" Nope. That's my job.
"What's Reiki?" Reiki is energy healing. If you're interested in combining it with your tarot reading or booking a separate Reiki session, just ask. It's great for stress relief and emotional clearing. It leaves you feeling amazing.
