An empathic craftsman

A while ago, curiosity drove Rob and his husband Bill to visit a tarot reader. The card reading we received was new and strange to us, but honestly it rather helpful. Bill remarked that it was like having a story read to him. He suggested that Rob, as a natural storyteller, might try his hand at it.

So, Bill bought him a deck of tarot cards.

From the first turn of the cards, the stories came alive for Rob. Characters, scenes, whole plots jumped off the cards. It seemed to open up his mind and ability to connect the stories the cards present. In fact, during that first reading, a curious thing happened ... Rob began reading with a thick Scottish accent!

Ever since, Rob has been practicing card reading, while also reconnecting with his ancestral Celtic roots. Storytelling, magick, and the connections between earth and spirit are key ingredients to Celtic traditions. The role of Seanchai - or storyteller in Gaelic - was a key figure in ancient times. This person was the keeper of the lore, laws, histories, and legends, passed down through the generations orally, long before they were ever written down. These storytellers were often considered the wisest of men and women and occasionally thought to possess or tap into the magick of the universe.

Don’t know where to start or what to ask? Consider a basic 5 card reading or perhaps a Celtic Cross spread. Maybe you have a “Yes/No” question or are trying to decide between a couple of choices, there are spreads for those.

Rob is not a psychic - he is an empath. The Tarot is a tool, a medium, for joining the two in order to make sense of the world around us. In reading the tarot, Rob is more a narrator than fortune-teller.

What do you need for a reading? A question or two is always helpful but all you really need is an open mind to hear what the cards are saying.

Through Tarot, Rob can connect you to the past, help you to better understand the present, or offer you guidance on your path into the future.

How Rob operates...non-judgment, confidential, no leading. It isn’t about pulling cards and asking questions to make them fit your narrative. The cards provide a perspective of your narrative through the eyes of another character.
