TAROT READING FAQs

How did you get started with tarot?

I grew up around spirits and have been receptive to energies and messages outside the physical realm since I was a small child.

In the late 1990s I purchased my first deck, a mini deck of Pagan Cat cards. (I foster cats so couldn’t resist.)

Can you describe your philosophy towards Tarot?

I do not play with supernatural matches as it were. I do not hold seances, use ouija boards or call upon non-human entities.

Rather, I seek to channel Universal energy which I believe everyone is capable of tapping into and, unlike some supernatural beings, seeks only to heal and teach. (I tap into this same energy when doing massage, following my intuition to ease pain.)

Of note, family or friends of a querent (the person being read for) who have crossed over will sometimes come forward in a reading to offer advice and support. If their intentions are good, and the querent invites their presence, I welcome their participation. (This does not always happen.)

What type of readings do you do?

You can reserve one of two readings: a 3-card draw or a Celtic Cross spread.

3-Card Draw

Popular Topics include one or more of the following:

  • Past/Present/Future

  • Body/Mind/Spirit

  • Finance

  • Love/Romance

  • Health

Celtic Cross (10 cards)

This is a very popular 10-card spread which covers a lot of ground. We will uncover blocks, gain insight into external and subconscious influences surrounding you, then end with a peek at a possible near future outcome. It is up to you whether to use your new-found information to influence that.

What are your rates?

3-Card Draw = €35 (20-30 minutes)

Celtic Cross (10 cards) = €75 (45-60 minutes)

Mentoring Session = €45 for 30 minutes. I will provide guidance on next steps in your journey. Or we can use the time to do deep-dives into specific cards which includes going over symbolism, the meaning of colours and numbers, as well as the cards placement in the Fool’s Journey. (You are welcome to record the session.)

What are your qualifications?

More than a decade of study and practice plus 2+ years of tutelage under an expert mentor.

I have given readings in both private and group settings, as well as over Zoom to clients around the World.

Do you have tips on how to start a tarot journey?

  • Yep! Start with buying a book. I recommend: The Ultimate Guide to Tarot by Liz Dean

  • Begin following other tarot readers to gather insight and discover how different readers deliver readings in their own way. I recommend:

  • Practice pulling a daily card for yourself. Research the card’s history, symbolism, and track its influence on you through your day.

  • Practice with friends and family!

TESTIMONIALS

The Grey Strega

“MABs is an absolute joy, both as a friend and as a mentee. Her intuition as it relates to the tarot is sublime, and the very same compassion that makes her such a talented bodyworker is equally translated in her ability to utilize the tarot to help elevate and overcome personal difficulties and challenges. You’ll leave a reading with her with clarity, a heightened sense of purpose, and a deeper understanding of your journey.”

Matthew

I came to MABs for a reading during a transitional phase in my life where I really needed guidance but only had a basic familiarity with Tarot.

MAB’s reading was uncanny. She was not only able to center my mind on what mattered at a time when I was all over the place, but she also explained the meaning of the cards in a way that made complete sense to a beginner.

I’m still reaping the benefits of Mabs’s reading years later. She’s imminently trustworthy; I never felt like I needed to be on guard around her.

If you’re looking for some guidance, you need look no further than MABs. I give her my full and unqualified recommendation.

Aoife

MABs came into my life exactly when I needed her. I’ve had tarot done before but never like this - I could rave about the fact that the cards did indeed tell her things about me which she couldn’t possibly have known (which is true) but I’d rather say this: if you trust her, and you’re willing to face the truth, MABs will be the guidance and support you need to become the most flourishing version of yourself.
