Hi! My name is Mary. I read Tarot Cards, Lenormand Cards, Scry/gaze into a beautiful crystal ball from Brazil, draw energy from multiple spheres for healing and dabble in basic astrology which includes birth charts and transits. All of these practices grew from my journey of reading Tarot 45 years ago. This spiritual practice is never-ending. I am constantly learning to share knowledge to help others.
Before I learned to read Tarot, as a child I was always observed to be super sensitive. I could feel the energy of the phone before it rang and would know who was calling before it was answered. As a trained nurse, I would know what was wrong with some patients before medical tests were done. I dabbled in Astrology at the age of 8. Always curious. Always wondering what was ahead. In 1975 a neighbor asked me to “practice” with her when she was learning Tarot. Without prompting, I was able to read most cards without difficulty. I noticed the Tarot cards were a way for me to harness the energy I had. I took advantage of this newly found tool and continue to do so today. Additional tools have been Lenormand Cards which I love and Spheres for energy work.
I started reading Tarot on 1:1 in people’s homes. First in New Jersey, then Florida, now Upstate NY. I always compared it to a Tupperware Party. A group of mostly ladies would get together for tea/wine and I would read their cards in another room or corner. The practice has grown to include not only 1:1 reading in homes, but fundraisers where the attendance is 500 people or more, birthday parties, Halloween parties, store openings, private parties, family gatherings, health fairs, Senior Center, Sidewalk events, wedding showers and wedding receptions. These events have included many historic locations in Saratoga such as Canfield Casino, The Hall of Springs, The Dance Museum, SPAC and many businesses downtown. Costumes are sometimes added to match the theme or color of the events. Wigs, lashes and bling have added to the fun and entertainment of an evening of Readings.
While I am based in Upstate New York, I can read for anyone, anywhere. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for your reading.
Mary provided my tarot card reading with such insight and accuracy. Her wonderful approach addressed the very issues that were in my life. Mary is very encouraging and patient while working through the details to help as I gained a deeper understanding and understand the season of my life. I was able to achieve better clarity of my circumstances through Mary’s thoughtful explanation, as well as appreciate my current situation at this time in my life. I was given great wisdom and advice with my tarot card reading. It really helped me navigate in this trying world. I would like to acknowledge that Mary has divine abilities and I am appreciative for having experienced her intuitive gift. — Joanne
