I come to the Tarot as a self-taught reader, with thirteen years of working with the cards.
I come to the Tarot as someone who knows that the world is still alive and speaking, as someone enchanted with the richness of symbols, as someone who has had a lifelong love affair with the magical, the mysterious and the monstrous.
I come to the Tarot as a writer. I see the ability to discover stories, to skillfully sculpt metaphors, to draw deep connections among disparate images as central to my skillset as a reader. My writing has appeared in Fantasy Magazine, PodCastle, and The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2011. (You can read more about my writing career here.)
I come to the Tarot as a queer and genderqueer person, and as a survivor of sexual abuse. I am committed to giving readings that feel safe and empowering for people of all genders, sexualities, identities and experiences.
I come to the Tarot as a child of postmodernism, comfortable with ambiguity, multiple lenses and shifting worldviews. Personally, I’m Pagan and I believe the cards are a Divine Oracle but I have no investment in your beliefs and interpretations of the experience we share together. I have given readings to conservative Christians and to atheist Marxists, and both found the experience to be meaningful and useful.
