I have been reading Tarot since 2011. Here are some of my credentials, skills, and talents:

  • I am an author and publisher. 
    • I have written a book on animal totems and the lunar cycle. This book includes rituals and information about how to perform readings (The Creatures of the Moon Oracle Deck Guidebook). In addition to this project, I have created two tarot decks. These projects have helped me become an expert and innovator in my field.
  • Every year I attend the largest conference for tarot in the world. 
    • I attend the Reader’s Studio in New York yearly, which offers master classes and workshops from readers at the forefront of the field. I have taken master classes with many renown individuals, including Mary Greer, Rachel Pollak, and Benebell Wen. I have also studied crystal casting, client projection, and various other divination forms and methods which I incorporate into my sessions.
  • I am an initiated Priestess and ordained Minister (2016).
    • I have found a spiritual path essential to my work as a reader and healer. Having been initiated as a Priestess required strict study: Divination, healing modalities, psychic work, aura reading, and various other studies/requirements were met by me in order to complete this initiation.
  • I have both a BFA and MFA in Fine Arts, and am well-versed in reading symbols.
    • I have been studying art since 1998. Tarot card reading requires an understanding of how to interpret images and symbols.
  • I have a spiritual practice that my clients benefit from. 
    • A daily practice of meditation, healing, and spiritual work keeps me grounded and also strengthens my intuition, which my clients benefit from. In addition to my own personal spiritual work, I have been a facilitator and participant in a closed group dedicated to expanding clairvoyant abilities.
  • I’ve worked as a mental health advocate.
    • Previous to my work as a Tarot Professional, I spent many years teaching and also worked as an Academic Advisor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). At SAIC I worked with students struggling in various capacities – academic, mental, and personal. As a teacher and mental health advocate, my training and work involved lending emotional support and advice to help my students achieve their highest potential. My background in teaching and advising has made me highly attuned to the human spirit, empathy, and the ability I have to help and serve others. Tarot reading is, afterall, an act of reading the heart.
  • I am have completed Tarosophy’s 10-week certificate course. 
    • Tarosophy is an internationally recognized Tarot organization. The 10-week certification course I took

TESTIMONIALS

“This experience was the bomb!  I had a love situation manifest a few weeks prior to me seeing Rebecca and within the first card draw, she was able to see what was going on as well as give me clear guidance on how to handle it.  I went home that evening and applied her advice and now feel great.

Rebecca, during the reading, was also able to see major themes in my life that I had been concerned with and gave me advice on how to maneuver through these.  I have paid big money to see pyshic mediums and felt much more clarity leaving Rebecca’s reading than I did when I saw the psychics…”

“Rebecca is an amazing reader! I felt that her reading offered me the confidence and push I needed to carry me through.”

The Tarot Reader

Carpet alive with timeless time
Laid out like a blanket over an ocean
A desert
The center holds, for now

This is the present tense
To the north, the south
The near and far
Surrounding….
What is your question?

The art of the creator
Mixes with the silent known
I wish to know myself
Can I may?
What is your question?

You must find the bridge
I cannot find it for you
You must find the truth
I cannot find it for you
You must find yourself

The art of the creator
Marries with the eye

The card predicts a possibility
The mind predicts a probability
The soul creates creation
She has a hand that speaks

Her lips of ageless
Go
