FAQ

No. At present, all readings are done remotely after I've had a consultation with a client. This consultation can be done over email or over a zoom call, depending on what's most comfortable for my client. Consultations are about 15 minutes long and we will discuss why you're wanting a reading (without giving too much detail or personal information so I can remain unbiased) and I am here to answer any questions you may have. Once you've booked a reading, I will create a sacred space for myself to meditate and call in your spirit guides and ancestors to help me with your reading. From there, we pull your cards or charms, and I will write out your reading. Finally, that reading will be sent to your email in a downloadable PDF document so you can revisit it as many times as you need. I will also send a photo of your spread.

Not at all! Tarot is for everyone and any background. However, I ask that you at the very least be open-minded, as that's the best way for you to get the most out of your reading.

Between one week and ten days is my usual turn around.

You absolutely can. All I ask is that you make sure the person receiving the reading is open to receiving one. I will also need their name, email, and contact information to send them the finished product. If someone purchases a reading for a loved one as a gift, I will not send the gift-giver the reading, as that would be a breach of privacy for the receiver of the reading.

Tarot is not telling the future. It’s not here to give you terrible news or scary predictions. If it scares you in a negative way, it’s not for you, babe. It’s that simple. Tarot reaffirms what you already know. You, ultimately, have all the answers inside of you. Me and the cards? We’re simply conduits to help validate your own intuition. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to hear or see our guides and to believe the signs given to us -- or even believe ourselves. Sometimes we just need a little confirmation on what we already know deep down. That’s where Tarot comes in. The cards are a tool to nudge you towards what you already know and to solidify your own feelings.

Oracle is great for when you're needing some encouragement and support in your life. Oracle cards are a great divination tool that can help to open intuitive awareness and build a connection to oneself. Oracle cards tend to be free flowing and vary in their messaging and artistic design.

Charm readings are a type of divination that uses small symbolic items, or charms, to gain insight and guidance regarding various aspects of one’s life. At Cosmic Grove, my charm readings involve the use of a carefully curated collection of charms, each representing different concepts and energies. During a reading, the charms are cast onto a charm mat, and their arrangement is interpreted to reveal hidden messages or advice from the universe. I draw from my extensive knowledge of symbolism and intuition to provide meaningful insights tailored to your unique situation.

Both Oracle and Tarot cards can have the same purpose and intention for divination and to get clarity around a situation. And both Tarot and Oracle cards act as a mirror of the current energy. They will reflect the truth of your situation and point out possible ways forward. Think of reading the cards as a conversation with a trusted mentor or your higher self. There is no judgment or “negative” or “positive” messages. There is only the reflection of energy and an opportunity to find a way forward through self-knowledge and an understanding of circumstances.

Combining tarot and charm reading offers a comprehensive and enriched metaphysical experience. I believe that using these methods together can provide a multi-layered insight into your life's questions and challenges. Tarot cards bring symbolic and archetypal messages that help you understand the broader themes and patterns in your life. On the other hand, charm reading adds a tactile and intuitive layer, drawing on the unique shapes, symbols, and objects of the charms to offer specific, personalized insights. By integrating both practices, clients receive a well-rounded and detailed perspective that aligns both the intuitive and symbolic wisdom, improving the depth and accuracy of the reading. This synergistic approach fosters greater clarity, guidance, and empowerment, helping you navigate your spiritual journey with confidence.

Intuitively reading a photo involves a sensitive person using their intuitive abilities to gather information from the photograph submitted by a client. This process is also known as psychometry, where the psychic can pick up on the energies or vibrations that are imprinted on the image. The photo can provide insights about the subject's past, present, and possible future. Clients may want to book a psychometry reading for several reasons. Firstly, it can offer validation or a deeper understanding of their life's current events and relationships. Secondly, it provides guidance and clarity on issues that may not be immediately apparent. Thirdly, it can bring to light unresolved emotions or traumas that need healing. By submitting a photo to Cosmic Grove, clients can gain valuable insights that aid in personal growth, emotional healing, and spiritual development. This service, akin to having a personal intuitive advisor, is part of our dedication at Cosmic Grove to support our clients on their metaphysical journeys.
