Hi pals! I have transferred schools, which is exciting, and this school is going to let me do pretty much whatever I want, which is also exciting, but before that they have me on Zoom non-stop this week and next, which is less exciting. Which is to say, I’m on hiatus until mid-February. In the meantime, here is my number one song for every card! Comment with yours?

I do individual and group readings on sliding scale, plus individual tarot lessons for people of all levels. Get in touch if you want one or have any questions!
Content will continue to be free until it’s way safer to go out. Also, grad school is expensive! Subscribing is $5/ month and $50/ year, and if you have some disposable $$ I would love it if you did (or sent me a Venmo tip @james0ctober). Be safe, watch TV. <3
