There used to be people for this. A best friend, a shaman, a tribe elder. The person who knew you since you were small and had very little incentive to protect your favourite illusions. Someone whose motivation was to gradually wake you up. not keep you eternally entertained.

The carousel Tarot reading comes from that place. As a gadget nerd, I call it looking into the engine room of your life.

There won't be “the universe has a beautiful message for you”. My toolbox is already full with psychology, neurology, biology, behavioural science, trauma therapy. I don’t have time for the color of the wings of the angel. I need to find the trauma patterns, blind spots, strange recurring themes.

I call the “it” that comes into the room an unresearched natural phenomenon. If you want, you can call it a spirit, ancestor, angel, my neighbour Bob, or God.

The reading begins with your situation and your question. You tell me the whole story. I may ask a couple of questions. The more I understand your actual situation, the more precisely I can work. Then I disappear into my own engine room for 2–3 days. You receive a detailed written reading, with spread, central problem, patterns keeping you stuck, and ways out of this predicament.

If you prefer, we can do a Zoom Tarot “tent” meeting: I draw the cards and we investigate the machinery together, usually in about an hour. The recording becomes your reading report.

I'm better at writing than talking, just so that you know.

The price is deliberately on the high end. Not because of the tax of the hell I went through to get this ability, but because I want you to arrive with the conviction that this needs your full attention.

If you're ready, continue to the Application.
