Looking for a tarot reading for answers, insight, guidance or inspiration?
Like other oracles (i.e. I Ching, Dilogun), the mysterious way tarot works is a large part of its appeal. Consulting the tarot is an alternative way to get answers and gain insight and fresh perspectives. A source of information based on the intelligence and wisdom of the benevolent spirit world.
I base my tarot readings on traditional meanings, with lots of focus on symbolism and mysticism. But I also read intuitively, as well as drawing on my communication with my ancestors and spirit guides. My readings are down-to-earth or spiritual, or mostly a mix. Although I often think that nothing about tarot can amaze or surprise me anymore, I am frequently still awe-struck by its intelligence, power and accuracy. See Tarot under the Services section for more information about my readings. Or contact me at (+31) 0657561965 or the email address below to book a reading online or in person (in Amsterdam, Netherlands).

The doors
Tarot can open many doors. The doors to our own subconscious, the collective unconscious, doors to new information, different modes of perception, to connecting with our ancestors or guides, to self-knowledge, wisdom, healing and recovery. It is often at pivotal moments in our lives, where we stand at the crossroads and have major decisions to take, that new doors open and we are shown new roads to travel.

The cards
Tarot is based on a fixed structure. It gives honest messages and helps you uncover the truth and move forward in your life by offering solutions and advice for issues you’re dealing with. But it can also inspire you to further develop your own wisdom, and help you find the path of your personal destiny.
A beginner’s guide to the meanings of the Rider-Waite-Smith cards, the most commonly used and best known tarot deck, is briefly set out under Intro to the Major Arcana Tarot Cards and Intro to the Minor Arcana Tarot Cards elsewhere on this site. Scroll to the bottom of Tarot under Services on this site.
When I teach tarot in workshops or courses I use the Rider-Waite tarot. This is the classic and easiest card deck for beginners. If I’m doing a reading, unless the person has another preference, I generally use the beautiful Thoth deck.
