WHAT IS TAROT?
Tarot cards originated in Europe as playing cards in the 1300s. Tarot was used for divination purposes in the 18th Century. Etteilla (Jean-Baptiste Alliette) was the first French Occultist to earn a living from Tarot Reading, making it popular among the Europeans at that time. It was believed that the cards were derived from the book of Thoth, and so his cards were filled with Egyptian iconography.
Tarot readings offer spiritual insight using a specific spread (or layout) of Tarot cards. The cards are there to bring clarity of mind, and provide positive intentions for you to move forward with, if you choose to.
Please note: Tarot is there to guide you and offer advice, where possible. However, you always have the choice of free will, and can decide whether to follow the advice given, or travel down an alternative path.

You’re curious about Tarot
No matter what you are looking for, a Tarot reading can help you, guide you, reassure you, and give you hope throughout any stage in your life.
What are the benefits of a tarot reading?
Tarot readings are there to help ease any anxiety and concerns you may have surrounding your life or a specific situation. They can help you look objectively at a situation, and give you hope, when sometimes it may feel like there is none.
Whilst Tarot does not replace therapy, it can help support you in your journey, and allow you to open up to new possibilities or a new way of looking at something.
You do not need to be looking for answers or support, to have a Tarot reading. It can be interesting to simply see what comes up in a reading for you, and see what is, or should be, your primary focus right now.
What can you expect when having a tarot reading?
The session as a whole
Every reader is different, but here is what you can expect at Aura Storm.
When you arrive, we will go upstairs to my little sanctuary. I have created a space that is cosy, calm, and comfortable so that you can feel separate from the world outside for the brief time you’re here.
Your session is not timed, but the reading usually lasts around 30-45mins, so it’s best to allow for a total of 1hr for your session.
The session itself
You will be offered a glass of water, whilst we have a chat about anything you feel is relevant and important to discuss. All sessions are completely confidential, so please know you are in a safe space to do this.
I will then intuitively be guided as to whether you should shuffle and pull out your cards, or if I should do this. Once the cards have been laid out, I will go through what I pick up from them. We will have an open discussion about your cards, and you are free to ask questions at any time.
Please try to relax and be open to receive whatever guidance I give you, knowing that anything that comes up, is for your highest good.
What do you need to do during a Reading?
Come with an open mind, and without any expectations or focus on a particular outcome.
What can you expect following a session?
Life moving forward, with a little more hope and purpose!
how does distant tarot readings differ to in-person?
You can be anywhere else in the world, other than my treatment room! The readings are still carried out in the same manner as I would if you were here, with the only difference being that I shuffle and pull the cards.
Distance readings are perfect for anyone who finds it uncomfortable to be in-person, or for those who are physically unable to come to Aura Storm. We agree a day / time that works for both of us, and the readings are carried out over Zoom.
Is there anything else I need to know?
Crystals
Crystals are believed to have frequencies at which they vibrate, that help balance the environment and the chakras, which are basic, fundamental aspects of our being. They’re believed to be powerful, healing tools which can support the healing of physical and mental ailments, as well as aiding in meditation, and create a more positive environment in the home. I have crystals perfectly placed around the treatment room to help boost your overall experience.
Spiritual support
Due to the nature of Tarot and how I connect to your cards, this understandably opens, and strengthens my spiritual connection. This gives me a much deeper insight into your reading.
