I've been reading cards for over 40 years, I got my first deck at 13. I stopped doing cards for a time, but after a complete stranger come up to me in 1984 in NYC telling me he had a 'message' that I should take up the cards again, I got a deck. That night I did a reading for my roommate, and within one hour the prediction came true. She looked at me and asked "did that happen because we did the reading?" This is of course the age old dilemma, do we influence the future by looking at it and discussing it? I never charged for the healing and was happy to do so for over 20 years.

This of course is the age old question, do we influence the future when we predict it? It is for that reason I would never gift or encourage someone to have a read. It is not for everyone. Years later, I moved to Ireland and was contacted by Irish Psychics Live to work the phone lines. I then began my professional career. I believe the future is not written in stone, and that we can influence the direction of our lives using tarot. I have hundreds of success stories. I love helping people, every reading is a healing.
