Mystic Americana

I am a big fan of business signage and ephemera of times past. Rolling into some small towns, one feels as if time stopped in the 50s or 60s and it's as comfortable as it is ghostly.

Having the opportunity to take this trip has been such a blessing for me. Meeting new people, seeing beloved friends, making new ones. And getting to know America in a new way.

Highlights from Memphis, TN

I visited Java Cabana Memphis to offer some readings for folks there during their open mic! This cafe is adorable! They offer gluten free, dairy free options and have a great little vintage boutique in the back! Well worth a visit.

Highlights from the Tour - Asheville and Nashville

A little bit of man made beauty and a lot of natural beauty on display across the USA. Here is a sample from Asheville, NC and areas outside Nashville, TN.

Kicking off the Tarot Tour!

I'm proud to announce that I am making this blog entry from the first stop on my tarot tour, Asheville, NC! My partner and I made it here yesterday at 6pm after an incredible weekend in Durham prepping the van for the voyage and saying goodbye to friends and family before heading west. Friday evening, 09/01, my partner who performs as ManGoBe, gave a farewell house concert at a friend's house that was both successful and super fun! Local alt-country trio Dead Sea Sparrow opened the evening with some amazing original tunes. Then, after a short break, ManGoBe took the stage to share his own brand of folk/rock/psychedelic music filled with poetic lyrics and healing imagery. For more information on these bands go to: mangobe.com or deadseasparrow.com

The Van- we call it Snoopy

To kick off the tarot portion of the tour I brought my cards and intuitive wisdom to Crow and Quill, Asheville. The lounge has an archaic and gothic appeal, and the staff is cordial and quirky. They have dubbed themselves a "secret bar" with a locals only focus which creates a special ambiance. I had a soda water with black walnut bitters and it was divinely tasty!

Next stop on the tour is Nashville at Flatrock Coffee, Tea, & More! Come see me for some insight and mystic vibes.

Slight Name Change!

I have decided that Mystic Hand Tarot better serves my business for two reasons- it's less words and it's easier to remember! So here is an event poster with the name change and an upcoming opportunity to give you a reading!

Dream your life into being

Facebook just reminded me that 2 years ago I posted an image of this tarot card and made the statement that I am dreaming the sewing seeress into being. For many years I have wanted to bring my gifts as a psychic and healer into balance with my gifts for alterations and sewing. Today I am closer to melding the two businesses than ever before. I am grateful for the platform of Facebook and the internet for giving me the opportunity to share my dream and give it space to grow. What dreams do you want to bring to reality? A reading with Mystic Hand of the Moon could help you flesh out those dreams and make them a reality!

Website is up and running!

Now you can view my blog, connect with my Etsy shop, look at my readings and photos on Instagram, or see my Facebook page from one convenient location! Get more information about events and what readings I am offering here- www.mystichandtarot.com

Upcoming Events!

A few times a month I offer tarot readings at Arcana in Durham, NC. I will be there this week, Sunday 01/22 from 7pm to 11pm. I will be offering readings $10 for 10 minutes or a 12 plus card New Year's reading to jump start your 2017!

Readings I offer

Story Board Style Reading- My most popular type of reading! The story board reading addresses any question you might have with out a particular structure. With all my readings I begin with 6 cards and build a story by pulling cards to bring further illumination.

New Year Reading- This spread highlights each month of the year giving you guidance for navigating your personal year.  For each month we will examine what the primary themes are and the best actions to take where challenges may arise. 

Find your Soul Mate/Path to Love-  Finding your special someone takes intention and knowing what you want, I can help you discover some insight into areas of your life with this reading that may inspire you to grow in ways that will attract your soul mate. This type of reading sheds light on how you are ready to receive your soul mate, where you need healing to expand your capacity to receive love, what you deeply desire, and what you can do today to begin your journey towards your true love! 

How is my Loved One doing in the Afterlife? - This reading gives insight into how a loved one is doing now that they have crossed over.  Utilizing the cards and my guidance I am able to investigate the feelings and impressions your loved one has in the afterlife.

Career Path Reading- Are you seeking a change in career or desiring to expand what your current career looks like? This reading sheds light on your strengths, how you can improve your performance, and where adjustments can be made to increase your satisfaction and prosperity! 

Relationship Reading-  Relationships require time, intent, and love. Not just love for the other person, but self love! This reading looks into the areas of your existing relationship with your spouse, a family member, a close friend, or co-worker and shows you the dynamics at play. I look into how the relationship is working on a spiritual, emotional, and physical level and how the relationship can improve on those same levels. 

How can I be of Service in the World? - In this strange and wonderful world there are many issues that need to be addressed and many individuals seeking connection and a better life.  When one feels inspired to help, but unsure how to get started or where their assistance is most needed guidance from a higher source can be helpful. This reading looks at what inspires you, how are are already prepared to contribute, what you need to learn to be further prepared, and what actions you can take today.

Group Readings

What are group readings? Group readings done for a party three to eight friends, family members, or colleagues. Each member of the group is handed a tarot deck and each member pulls the number of cards for their reading that I instruct them to pull. I then visit with each member of the group while the other members of the group observe. Each reading is a conversation. I encourage each participant to add their own observations to their reading and ask questions. Because the group observes and is party to each person's reading, group readings are a wonderful bonding opportunity! I schedule group readings for bachelorette parties, birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, graduation parties, team building, new year's eve parties, or whatever occasion suits your needs! Readings can be themed for the event or each individual can request a specific reading for themselves from my reading list. Email me to make an appointment for your group reading today:
