My Story
Let me begin by telling you a little about my journey and myself. My road to becoming a guiding spirit started when I was about eleven years old. I had just moved to a new part of town and my mother had decided we should go to the local discount store to see what sort of deals we could find. As I strolled through the isles looking up and down for something interesting, two funky looking books caught my eye. For a moment, it seemed like there was nothing else around me, just the books and myself. For the next couple of months I spent most of my free time reading through these books and cross-referencing their information online. I must admit I was skeptical. How could the positions of the planets in the sky change anything on Earth? How could people be so narrowly classified into any categories? How could a deck of cards do anything? So I dug deeper and deeper, doing my own personal research.
Over the years I discovered that astrology didn't classify people into generalized groups of specific characteristics. It used a whole array of astronomical, esoteric, and spiritual information to determine certain emotional, psychological, and even physical predispositions. This is similar to modern genetic tests that can determine your predisposition to diabetes or cancer. These genetic tests do not set your fate in stone to die of cancer or suffer from diabetes, we now know that our personal choices and free will also need to be added into the equation. The same goes for astrology. You are not simply your chart, you have free will and the ability to choose what you think, feel, and do. This does not mean you should live your life strictly adhering to your astrological chart, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look and see what you can personally take out of the experience.
Much studying and four years later, I began playing with a standard 52 card deck and using it much like the modern day tarot. It wasn't anything serious, my friends and I would have a sleep over and we would read about our love interests and our relationships with our friends. Interestingly, we found that the readings were oddly accurate. I honestly blew it off as a coincidence and forgot all about the cards for some time. About a year later, my mother was doing a read about my life and my friends. She told me that one of my dearest friends was pregnant. I was shocked and upset. How could this be? We were only sixteen and how could some silly deck of cards say anything about the real world? To my surprise, my girlfriend let me know she was pregnant a couple of days after my mother's read. I was completely shocked and changed forever.
One year before graduating high school I was gifted my first tarot deck, the Rider-Waite Tarot in Spanish. As I began my life as an adult and headed to college, my mother gifted me a pack of oracle cards. Little did I know the coming impact of those cards. For the next four years I simply lived my life as a student and read cards to friends and neighbors. I continued this style of reading for several years. Until fast forward, and one day I woke up at a meager teaching job making an impoverishing salary even as a full-time employee with benefits. It was distasteful, silly, and unethical. It was truly a strange feeling to be unhappy and simultaneously pursue a personal passion of mine, teaching. With a young daughter and a family to support I had no time for silly games, but I was lost. I felt stuck, vulnerable, and most of all powerless.
It was a normal day, coffee brewing in the office, teachers readying themselves for instruction, and hopeful parents leaving their children for the day. I decided to get some fresh air. Stepping out into the courtyard I heard some teachers talking about a new student. I was applaud. They spoke with such insensitivity and general ignorance towards who this student was, it was truly disheartening to listen. The assumptions about this student robbed his potential for a truly educational and life altering experience. When I finally worked with him I found him to be intuitive, educated, and interested in learning. His curriculum was way below his level, so I trashed it and began to teach him through discussion. Ironically, it was actually he who taught me and showed me how to find my center again. I even went so far as to read his tarot cards during session.
One month after being divinely inspired by my pupil I began reading tarot at the local street fairs and farmer's markets. The rest is now history. And so I find myself here, reaching out to you, the seeker.
