So you’ve read the guide, booked a reading, and now it’s almost time for your session! If you’ve never had a reading before, there are a few things you can do to make sure you get the most out of your experience.
Please set aside the appropriate amount of time for your reading. This is to make sure there are no scheduling conflicts so you can start and end on time. Some clients find it helpful to set aside a few minutes after the reading for reflection.
Do your best to ensure that you won’t be disturbed or distracted during your reading. Turn off your cell phone, go into a private room where no one will disturb you, turn off the TV, etc.
Start to think about your question. Spend a few minutes before your reading to think of what question or topic you would like to focus on during the reading.
Relax. Techniques such as mediation, breathwork, and visualization can help you become more in tune with yourself and help you focus on your reading.
I recommend setting aside at least ten minutes before and after your scheduled reading.
You can use the ten minutes before the reading to relax and focus on your question or topic. This allows for a clearer reading since your mind will be less cluttered by other thoughts and feelings.
Setting aside ten minutes after the reading provides time for you to process and reflect on your reading.
It's always beneficial to take a few moments for yourself whenever possible!
While you don't necessarily need a question for your reading, most people tend to have a specific topic or situation they'd like some clarity on. Coming up with a question for a reading can be difficult if you've never done it before, but here are some great tips to craft a question that can be answered by the cards or crystal ball.
Use open-ended questions
Try to avoid questions that can be answered with a "yes" or "no."
Keep an open mind
Even if you're asking a question you think you know the answer to, don't be surprised if it's different than what you expected.
Limit your questions
Sometimes we can get excited about our reading and want to know everything. However, try to focus on one or two questions or topics for your reading. This allows you to focus on what's truly important to you and allows the cards to give you a more detailed answer.
Stay positive
Take time before your reading to relax and try some meditation or breathing techniques. This will not only help you focus on your question but also put you in a more relaxed and positive space.
If you're finding it difficult to come up with your own question for your reading, take a look at some of these common questions people ask. Feel free to use one of them or get inspired by them and create your own question!

Not at all! Just because the Tarot has a Devil card doesn’t mean it’s evil or connected to the Devil in any way. It also has a lot of Angels in the cards and other religious symbols.
The Tarot is simply a tool that helps us tap into our own innate intuition and our connection to Source (AKA God, the Universe, the Creator). I come from a Christian background and believe in Jesus and God, and that’s what I connect to.
I wouldn’t read the Tarot if I believed it was evil in any way.
The Tower card represents sudden change or upheaval. When the Tarot card appears in your reading, it’s telling you that some kind of massive and sudden change is quickly approaching. And while that can be scary and stressful, it’s always in your highest and best interest. The Tower card clears the way for new and better things to come in.
If you come up as a specific card during a Tarot reading, that means the Tarot has matched you with a card that mirrors your energy surrounding the topic you’re asking about. You can come up as a specific Tarot card in general, but your energy about a specific topic could shift how the Tarot expresses you.
For example, if you regularly come up as a Queen of Cups because you express your emotions and feel things very deeply, but then you ask a question about finances or taxes or something that doesn’t necessarily have an emotional attachment, you could come up as the Queen of Pentacles because it’s dealing with money instead of emotions.
The Tarot chooses a card to represent you based on the topic you’re asking about and how your energy is expressed when you’re in that moment.
The short answer is no. You can ask me the same question you asked the other reader and I’ll read the cards and tell you what they show me. But if you ask me why another reader got one card and I got a different card, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. They may have used a different deck, they may have used a spread, your question may have been worded slightly differently…there are too many variables. That’s why no two readings are ever the same.
Generally, I don’t use a preset spread. When I read, the cards choose where they need to go and create their own spread and I interpret that and what they show me.
The cards have layers and layers of meanings. When someone first starts to learn how to read the Tarot cards, they usually do so by learning certain keywords associated with that card. However, as you continue to learn and read, you realize that the meanings of the cards are deeper and more fluid. Each card has a universal meaning, but that meaning can shift based on where it is in the spread, what other cards are around it, and what the question or topic is.
Not everything is set in stone. We all have free will and that always impacts how the future plays out. When I read about the future, I usually read on the path that’s most likely to happen based on who you are and your current trajectory. However, if you make the most of your free will and change your life, you change your future as well.
If you book a mediumship session in order to communicate with a specific relative or spirit, I will do everything I can to help that spirit come through. However, there’s no guarantee that the spirit you want to communicate with will come through. Sometimes other spirits have more pressing messages for you, sometimes that specific spirit is not quite ready to communicate yet, or various other reasons.
When you book a mediumship session, it's always good to have a specific person in mind that you want to contact, but be aware that someone else may come through.
It’s also not guaranteed that even if the spirit that you want to communicate with comes through they’ll want to speak or share. They may come through simply to be present with you and not have any messages.
No! Absolutely not.
I put up lots of protection and protective energy to keep out any kind of negative spirits or beings. My boundaries keep you and me both safe from anything that's not in our highest and best.
That applies to spirits of deceased loved ones, too. If the spirit you want to communicate with is angry, hostile, or unsettled, I won't let them into my space.
When doing mediumship sessions, I always describe the person I'm seeing to you. I describe how they look physically, what they're personality is like, and if they show me any hobbies or favorite things, I describe those as well.
Spirits are no longer attached to their mortal bodies, but they still have their memories and personality. When I communicate with spirits, they tend to appear as their favorite version of themselves, not necessarily how you remember them.
I may occasionally ask the spirit to show me what they looked like before they died so we can be sure we're talking to the right spirit.
I am so sorry for your loss. However, communicating with a spirit right after they've passed can be disruptive to their own journey. I usually recommend waiting at least a month before trying to communicate with them.
A lot of people expect their relatives to suddenly become guardian angels or holy beings after they die. And while spirits do tend to gain a certain amount of clarity after passing, this doesn't usually change their personality or beliefs unless they allow it to. There are some spirits who shift drastically after passing, but most spirits tend to stay the same as they were while they were living.
The appearance of the Death card doesn't always represent someone's actual death.
It has a more symbolic meaning and represents the end of one thing so a new thing can come in. It's a card of transformation and transition.
There are many reasons why the Death card might show up in a reading. For example, maybe you're leaving your current job to start a better one. Maybe you're leaving a relationship that no longer serves you.
Very rarely will someone's own death appear in a reading if they're not specifically asking about it. So the simple answer is, don't think about it during your reading. The more you focus on any topic, the more likely it is to show up in your reading. Instead, focus on the topic or question you really want to know about. If you're still worried about it, you can always voice your concern beforehand and I'll be sure not to mention anything surrounding your death to you.
