What is the difference between Tarot and Oracle?Oracle decks do not follow the traditional 78 card structure of the Tarot. Oracle cards are divination tools that have guided messages usually created and designed by an author or artist. Combined together, the Tarot & Oracle can bring about more details and personal spiritual messages.

What is the difference between Tarot and Lenormand?Lenormand is another powerful cartomancy that has been around for decades. A Lenormand deck only has 36 cards unlike the Tarot which has 78 cards. Each cards have its own unique meaning that when read altogether, the cards combined can form sentences layered with meanings - much like telling a story. Lenormand tends to have a practical approach and is very straight forward. It is often used to tell a story of the situation you are currently in. It can be predictive.

-
What is Cartomancy?Cartomancy, as defined by Wikipedia, is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. I started my Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand and Fortune Telling journey years ago by self-studying, familiarising myself with each deck, naturally learning the cards' system basics by the book and getting an international certification for advanced studies. Now, as a seasoned reader, I read and interpret the cards intuitively thus being called an intuitive reader or cartomancer.
-
Is cartomancy devil worship?No. I do not worship nor am I and my readings or any of the services I am offering associated with the devil. You will find my readings love and light centered and intentions are always set for the highest and greater good.
-
What is an intuitive reading with me like?Hopefully, it's like sitting with a sister or a friend who gives you lots of in-depth life advice and counseling. It is not at all scary however, there will be cases that a reading is not all sunshines, unicorns and rainbows especially when it brings up tough life issues that we need to address. Getting your reading is a very healing experience and that one must have courage, humility and self-acceptance.
-
How do I know which type of reading I should like to get?That would depend on what guidance and healing you seek.
-
What kind of questions can I ask in a cartomancy reading?Veer away from asking vague questions. To effectively receive the answers that you seek, formulate your questions in an open-ended and specific manner. To ask open-ended questions, avoid starting the question with Will…, When… and Should…, and instead ask What…, How… and Why. For example, 'What do I do to find true love?' instead of asking 'When will I find true love?'

How do I book a cartomancy reading session with you?You can book a reading with me here.
-
How often should I get a reading session?For cartomancy readings, I recommend that you give it at least a month before you book another reading (unless it is another reading topic). Responsible tarot readers and cartomancers would always advise you to process what you've learned from your reading. This is the part after every reading session that you start with your inner work. As a gentle reminder, I do not encourage you to drunk dial tarot readers and cartomancers just so you can get the reading you want to hear or receive.

Find a very comfortable place. Bring your own drinks and snacks (optional). Charge your energies and ground. Ensure your devices are plugged in to avoid running out of batteries while in session. Prepare writing materials and your journal.

Why get an Astrology reading?It's more than having your horoscopes read. Using your ASTROLOGICAL CHART as a soul map, you can discover what lessons your soul came to learn, provide deep insights into your personality, discover the gifts we were given and learn how can we use them to be of service in this world. By reading your chosen Astrology Chart, we can find out the ff: NATAL CHART - Your natal chart reveals everything you bring into this lifetime, including your belief systems and values. This chart shows the kind of family you were born into and your primary lesson (tikkun) in this life. Examining this chart is useful in helping you to better understand and accept yourself, your lessons, and your purpose for being here. PROGRESSIONS AND TRANSITS CHART - This is a modified natal chart that shows the opportunities, challenges, and growth cycles that you are currently experiencing. A progression reading is useful for helping you to see where your energy may best be spent; by aligning yourself with these cycles that are continuously changing, your life generally falls more smoothly into place.

It is a blueprint of the relationship itself, showing what is created by the joining of the individuals and is very useful in understanding relationship dynamics. It can help you understand why you are a certain way with a particular person and can give you insight as to the value, struggles, nature, and purpose of the relationship, as well as how the relationship can support or detract you from your goals. SOLAR RETURN CHART - Every year of the Gregorian calendar, the Sun comes back to its original placement in the natal chart. It is then time to analyze the trends of the upcoming year and reinforce all the potential gifts it contains. This chart should be taking place on or near your birthday.

There are no more available slots, can I book via Instagram DM / email?No. When my booking system / website says there are no available slots that means there are NO available slots. Just because you can send a DM or email does not mean a slot will automatically be available for you. My website's booking system is linked to my calendar and makes it a lot easier for me to organize my schedule. Check in again after a few hours to see if a slot opens up.

It is crucial that you provide your correct details (check your birth certificates or medical records for reference) when you book your session so I can accurately read your chart.

Why are your Astrology readings done via video call?This is so I can meet you and show you your chart. I find it most effective to discuss your astrology chart with my clients face to face. This way, you can ask on the spot if you want me to clarify things or you can use the moment to share your story if you feel like it. Astrology deals with human nature which is why it is better to have your reading done by a live and trained astrologer.

What is Reiki?The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy).

How does Reiki healing work?Energy flows within the physical body though pathways called Chakras. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'. When this flow of energy is disrupted or has slowed down its spinning or got stuck, it causes diminished function of the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state. There are 7 primary energy centers (Chakra) in the body which spin harmoniously together when balanced. However, Chakras can become imbalanced due to stressful circumstances (LIFE). Enter Reiki. Reiki is a beautiful energy healing art. With Reiki, a Reiki Practitioner or Master can make the Chakras spin and move harmoniously again. A balanced Chakra improves overall health and wellbeing.

How does a Distance Reiki session work?Distance Reiki can be sent to anyone, anywhere and at any time by a Reiki Master using a Master Level Reiki symbol. This distance symbol is used to cross any distance in time or space. It allows me to clear blockages from someone's past, as well as perform Reiki on someone who is not physically present. This is especially efficient during this COVID-19 situation where we are all required to do social distancing. Your Reiki / Crystal Reiki healing session will be done remotely and I will connect with you energetically.
