By expanding our vision of reality, we redefine ourselves in relation to that vision,
and allow new possibilities to manifest in our lives.
Alissa began reading Tarot cards over 20 years ago, and has devoted many years of her adult life to studying various fields of metaphysics – including palmistry, runes and karmic path advisement, as well as Tarot. A professional reader since 2002, Alissa is available for evening and weekend reading appointments, as well as larger events.

Many times those who come for a reading are feeling overwhelmed by the situation they seek insight into. As such, it can be hard to differentiate what exactly they want or need to find out. Tarot readings aren't like television. You must be involved in order for them to be effective for you.
To get the most out of your reading, begin by putting effort into focusing and forming your question. "Good" questions allow the most answers to come back to you; they are open-ended, but not vague. "Bad" questions dictate your own expectations and attempt to make the reading end with a desired result.
GOOD EXAMPLES:
"How will the current changes at work effect my position within the company?" "How does my boyfriend really feel about me, and about our relationship?" "How does my marriage help my soul's path, how does it hinder it?"
BAD EXAMPLES:
"Will I get Bob's position now that he's gone?" "Does my boyfriend love me, or is he seeing someone else?" "Should I get a divorce?"
Sometimes we don't have one specific area of questioning, but would like a general outlook on one's current station in life; these are called "general readings" and often include a discussion of your recent past, present and future to assist you in looking at overall trends in your life, as well as goals and lessons to pay attention to in the current time.
Health readings are not acceptable in my practice. While I believe metaphysical assistance can positively enhance one's physical well-being, questions regarding the status of one's health will not be accepted; this includes pregnancy, paternity and fertility questions. I urge those with such dilemmas to seek advice from a medical professional.
Each discipline carries its own strengths and weaknesses when put to practical use. Palm readings are extremely helpful for the querent to gain insight into their character and current situation. However, because the lines on our palm change over time, they are not as helpful for future-casting, or predictive, readings. Tarot easily addresses questions which involve future-casting, but may not give the same attention to details gained from a palm reading. Runes are often "blunt" in the messages they bring, and as such can illuminate the underlying issue at hand in a way that Tarot will not. Each discipline enhances the other, and can be used alone and in combination for different methods of reading.
Yes; I practice "intuitive reading," as it is often referred to. This means in addition to the established meanings of Tarot cards and palm lines that I explain while reading, I also give voice to any other impressions that present themselves during a reading. These "flashes" are not something I can control or predict during the reading process, and as such I cannot guarantee when and how such information will present itself. However, I strongly believe in giving voice to everything I receive during a reading, even when contradictory or seemingly random, in order to allow the querent to determine the vision's context and relevance. Sometimes, but not always, I will continue to get "messages" regarding a reading even after its conclusion, especially if my spiritual guides insist on additional clarification. Should this happen, you may receive an additional email(s) until the information is "released," that is, until my guides finally leave me alone!
Tarot cards are not Satanic, and do not promote any specific religious belief. The images of certain Tarot cards and their usage has been sensationalized by the mass media for the better part of the last century, in various books, movies, and tv shows, and as a result have gained a notorious legend as tools for evil purposes. While Tarot cards are not evil, certain religions disagree with the practice of future-casting and consider using Tarot to divinate as objectionable. Interestingly, these same religions often have their own prophets and visionaries as part of their theological canon. Regardless, I am a Hindu and follow a path of spiritual advisement, and compassionate behaviors in thought and action. Tarot cards, runes, a person's hand, even sticks thrown on the ground can inspire us to look within and find messages from our soul. Each are tools, and as such, are no more evil than a hammer is in a carpenter's tool box.
A common misconception is that more cards results in more information. In actuality, fewer cards can provide a wealth of information when given time and proper attention.
A common misconception is that more cards results in more information. In actuality, fewer cards can provide a wealth of information when given time and proper attention. My readings are often several pages in length – a typical three card reading can easily cover 2-3 pages of typed material.
My readings are not the one page (or less) automated Tarot readings many are familiar with via other web services. I pride myself in giving each and every one who comes to me the time and attention they deserve, as well as their money's worth for their reading.
