The most common question before a first reading is "So what will you tell me?" Here is how a session runs step by step, what to prepare, and where the limits of the cards are.
Most people arrive at a first reading slightly uneasy. Either they expect fairground fortune-telling, or something so solemn they are afraid to ask. The reality sits elsewhere, and it is very practical.
Before we meet
You need to prepare nothing special — except one thing: a question. The more specific it is, the more useful the answer.
- Instead of "What is my future?", try "What is stopping me deciding about that job offer?"
- Instead of "Will it be alright?", try "What am I overlooking in this relationship?"
- Bring several questions if you like. We will get through as many as we can.
How a session runs
A session lasts 30, 60 or 90 minutes depending on what you choose. We begin with a short conversation — I need to know where you are heading, otherwise the reading stays general and useless.
Then I lay out the cards. I do not read them as a list of predictions; I describe the picture they form together and check with you what fits. A reading is a conversation, not a monologue.
Cards do not say what will happen. They show what is in play — and the decision stays yours.
What cards cannot do
I say this to everyone at the start, because it matters. I do not diagnose, I do not replace a doctor or therapy, and I will not give you a wedding date. If you come with something that belongs to a specialist, I will tell you straight.
One more thing: I do not read for third parties without their knowledge. What goes on in your partner's head is their business.
After the session
You get a summary of what came up. Most people tell me the thing that helped most was one particular sentence — usually the one they already knew somewhere inside, but needed to hear out loud.
If you are unsure whether a reading is for you, the simplest thing is to try the shorter format and decide afterwards.
