Tarot

And then there was Tarot…

Marty loves cards. In particular, Tarot cards.

He has been studying Tarot and collecting decks for most of his life, though only gives public readings on rare occasions.

Marty believes that Tarot is a shared space between the reader and their querent (a fancy word for the person who is asking a question of the reader and the cards) to open up a conversation that is guided by the cards they have drawn together. While he primarily uses the well-known Rider/Waite/Smith deck in readings, many others can be consulted upon request, as he owns and consults a collection of artistic decks.

While Marty is quick to insist that he is not a clairvoyant, mystic, or fortuneteller, he also doesn’t see the experience as a parlor trick. Rather, he views the cards as a sacred connective thread, in line with the magic and mystery of all things in this wild and wonderful world.

He tries to bring an open-hearted and deeply respectful approach to the experience, using his own intuition and knowledge of the cards in tandem with the querent’s immediate reaction to them in order to create a meaningful connection and experience together.

Marty is available for private readings or parties that feel like a good fit for his style.
