I'm Bex. I'm here to make Tarot a little less scary. I'm giving you a personal, behind the scenes tour of what it's actually like to be a tarot reader.

Confession booth highlights this season: - Why I refuse to answer Yes/No questions - When my friends are also my clients, how we maintain boundaries - My wierdest, woo-woo-est readings - Chats with fellow tarot readers - Actual readings - Toxic clients, toxic readers - Can I read your mind? - What I'm thinking when you're back for a reading about your ex - How you can find an accurate, reliable reader - How to prepare for your very first tarot reading - How often is too often for a reading - How to tap into your own intuition and read for yourself I'm so glad you're here. Let's see what the cards have to tell YOU this season.
