I joined TABI after attending their first conference in 2005 and I
haven't looked back since. I started reading the Tarot again in early
2004 but I was looking for an organisation of like minded individuals,
and found TABI through the Children of Artemis website. After attending
their first ever conference, I took their training course which
provided me with excellent tutoring and also undertook and successfully
completed their endorsement process as a Reader. This gave me the
confidence to read professionally at Zen in Brindely Place on Saturday
and Thursday evenings (until it became impractical due to my second
pregnancy).
During my Tarot Reading time, I've found that certain decks work
better fo me than others. This is quite normal, so I've listed the
decks I work well with on the left. No doubt I'll add to them as
the years progress.
I approach the Tarot as I might look in a mirror. I shuffle the cards on your behalf, thinking deeply about the question you've posed. Then I deal the cards out and see what is there. Because I'm not personally linked to the situation you're asking about, I often see something reflected in the cards that may have tripped you up, or be hiding from you . I aim to have a discussion with you, generally via email (but verbally if need be and face to face if arranged) and pick up background information. This helps me understand both why you're asking your question, and for me to help you phrase the question in the best way to help you.
Discovering the Tarot has lead to my developing other areas of
interest - e.g. Mythology, Qabbalah, I-Ching, Astrology and Numerology.
I have created a Facebook page and I plan on using that more in 2011.
