Pagan Runes:
One of the tools that make my readings a bit different are my use of the Pagan
Runes. There are several different types of runes. The most common ones being
the Celtic runes. The Pagan runes that I use are a series of 9 stones with symbols
on both sides for a total of 18 symbols. They are dropped onto an astrological
wheel where I do an overview for a period of time. Most typically for a year, but
any time period can be chosen.
These particular runes that I use (and teach classes on) are unique because they
are not sold commercially, so you cannot find them in the stores. This is an
important point because they were taught to me by a member of the original
group that created them. The agreement with which they were passed on to me
was that I would only use them to read with or to teach others. There is nothing
wrong with tools of divination being sold commercially - I buy my tarot cards -
but this is simply the agreement I made. When I teach classes on them, I make
certain that everyone knows and agrees to these terms. To my knowledge people
have kept their integrity, and the agreement has not been violated. I think it
helps that most people who would take a class on divination get the concept of
karma!
I often find that people love handling the stones because they are such a great
source of energy. Some people get embarrassed because their hands get sweaty
when they hold them. I explain that’s because they are filled with lots of energy
from many years of reading with them. I love stones, and I really enjoy reading
with my Pagan Runes.
Numerology:
There are different systems of numerology out there, but one of the most
commonly used in the western world is the Pythagorean system. With prior
notice I can do an entire numerological “chart”, based on your name at birth and
your birth date. For my regular readings, I just use your birth date to determine
your personal year. According to Pythagoras, we move in 9 year cycles in our life
(and you are not necessarily born on a year 1). The cycle that you are in is kind of
like a weather forecast, it’s yet another influence in your life that goes from one
birthday to the next. Personally, I like to know if it’s going to rain or if I’ll need
the sunscreen!
Tarot:
I use the Rider Waite deck for my readings. The Rider deck has been around a
long time and is often used by teachers in beginning tarot classes. It is a
traditional tarot deck with 78 cards. Of all the forms of divination, the tarot is one
of the most complex. It is truly a lifetime art. I have been reading with them for
over 21 years and still continue to refine the art. Most people who work with the
tarot are not true Tarot artists. They are simply using the cards to trigger their
clairvoyance. There is nothing wrong with that, I simply wish to explain the
difference between the casual user and the people who are truly trained in the
actual art of tarot. By the way, for the uninitiated, it can be pronounced with
either the emphasis on the first or second symbol and the last "t" is silent. Just
don’t rhyme it with carrot and you'll be fine!
Astrology:
I use western astrology in my readings. It was my love of astrology in fact that
started me on my formal training as a psychic. I want to be clear about the fact
that I would not at this time call myself an astrologer per say. I am a psychic who
combines my knowledge as a psychic with the knowledge of basic astrology for a
deeper reading of my clientele.
For walk-in readings, I usually just take a look at your 5 “personal planets” with
my ephemeris (that's a book that tells what sign the planets are in on a given day)
. The 5 personal planets give a good insight into your “personality”. This I can do
on the spot for anyone. It gives me both a good psychological profile as well as
being a psychic gateway to someones energy.
For a more in-depth astrological reading, you can call me with your date,
time***, and place of birth a day ahead, and I will run your natal chart. This
costs $5 in addition to your reading time (a 30 minute reading is fine if that's all
we are doing, or an hour if you want a reading with the other tools as well). Once
you have your natal chart run, I always tell my clients to "go home and make
copies" because the natal chart never changes and once you have it you can get a
reading by anyone who knows astrology. I have been reading my own chart for many
years now and I am still finding new insights!
Natal charts can also be used for chart comparisons (it's very insightful for
romantic relationships) between 2 people.
I can also tell you what your progressed moon sign is, and what area of your
life is being influenced by it (it changes every 2 and 1/2 years).
Solar returns are a great way to celebrate your birthday. These are more of an
astrological snapshot of your year from birthday to birthday (must have
advanced notice for this - at least 2 days)
Astrology is a terrific tool for insights to your romantic partner, a great gift to
celebrate a new baby, or to help understand the family dynamics. Wouldn't it be
nice to have one more way to help understand your teenagers! You may know
how the people in your life act, but understanding the why can really help. My
method of intuitive astrology can really help in the relationship department.
***Please be certain of your time! The chart will not be accurate if
the time is off - sometimes as little as 10 or 15 minutes can make a
difference.

Understand that it is possible to "read" just about anything. I have
read symbols that were burned into a piece of paper from a candle
flame! Some psychics use no tools at all. This is often referred to as
a "straight" psychic reading. One method isn't better than another,
it's simply a matter of preference. I am an Aquarius and I like
variety, so I use a variety of tools. My clients seem to enjoy them as
much as I do, so it's good all the way around!
