Tarot readings and classes to help you hook your dreams.

Cast a line.

Tarot is a tool that helps answer tough questions, especially persistent ones. Whether a question has been troubling you for a week or a lifetime, Tarot can help you make headway.

There’s truth swimming inside you.

When people ask me about Tarot, I explain that it makes you conscious of what is unconscious. I usually say, “Tarot helps you learn the things you don’t know you know.”

Almost by definition, the unconscious is filled with knowledge and abilities we don’t know we have. Sometimes these unconscious treasures reveal themselves in our dreams. Tarot strengthens our connection with our unconscious and makes it a resource in waking life.

The cards are the bait.

When I use Tarot, I imagine casting a fishing line into the waters of someone’s dreams. Instead of a hook, I have the images of the cards. Sometimes an answer will snag a card immediately, while others will gently nibble until we coax them out with a jig.

We’re in the same boat.

This describes the collaborative approach I take with Tarot: we have a conversation about the cards and build a story together. Symbols have personal significance, and by working with me, I will connect your feelings about the images to the more universal stories behind each card.

With patience, an answer will surface, and we will understand something that earlier seemed hidden.

Hi, I’m Seth.

I love talking to people about ideas that capture their imagination. I cherish moments when people feel brave to be vulnerable. I want to use Tarot to help people live their dreams.

My commitments to you:

  • I will hold space for you and help you feel safe and comfortable.

  • I will be honest and open with you.

  • I will help you connect with something hidden.

I call my Tarot “queer and dreamy.”

I’m a queer man, and I love dream work. I incorporate Carl Jung’s ideas about the unconscious and human psyche into my use of Tarot. I’ve had the privilege of earning a Jungian Tarot Reader Certificate from Jungian Analyst Ken James through Jung Platform.

I do not consider myself a fortune teller. For me, Tarot is a tool that helps people take ownership of their lives. To paraphrase a Carl Jung idea: the problems you ignore inside yourself will appear outside as fate.

People who work with me say…

“Seth was patient and encouraging for my first-ever tarot reading. He made the experience feel like something we were exploring together.”
— Nicholas
“While Seth does have an encyclopedic knowledge of the many ways the symbols interact and reflect human experiences, he always makes space for what I notice and feel.”
— Lara
“I had never had a tarot reading before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I immediately felt comfortable with Seth, whose kindness shines brightly.”
— Eloise

Let’s go fishing.

Standard reading: $80

60 minutes, virtual or in-person. We’ll work through your question using as many cards as we need.

  • We’ll have a conversation about the cards and build a story together. Symbols have personal significance, and by working with me, I will connect your feelings about the images to the more universal stories behind each card.

    As we talk, I will add information from other systems of meaning that may or may not be visible on the cards we see. These systems are called Tarot correspondences. I draw on a Tarot system developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at the turn of the 20th Century.

    From there, I weave the correspondences with Carl Jung’s ideas about the unconscious and human psyche. With patience, an answer will surface, and we will understand something that earlier seemed hidden.

Sensory reading: $120

90 minutes in-person. We’ll spend extra time connecting your reading to sensory experiences using scents and objects that correspond with key cards in your reading.

  • The sensory reading has all the substance of the standard reading, plus the added dimension of physical experience with scents and objects that correspond to key cards from your spread.

    I draw on a Tarot correspondence system developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at the turn of the 20th Century. The Golden Dawn corresponded everything they could to the cards, from gods and magical weapons to herbs, colors and musical notes.

    We’ll explore some of the physical correspondences to see if they open up any more meaning for you. I focus on scents because smell has one of the strongest attachments to memory. For example, we might explore the floral perfumes of Venus, the sharp spices of Mars, or Mercury’s bright and clarifying citrus.

    Another use of sensory correspondences is creating new meaning for an object that can carry the advice of the reading into daily life. For instance, if one of your cards corresponds with cinnamon, I might recommend you keep a cinnamon stick near a place where you need to recall the advice of the reading.

Tarot tutoring: $200

4 hours of personal Tarot tutoring, virtual or in-person. We’ll co-create a curriculum and schedule to help you grow as a Tarot reader.

  • Talking through the magical meaning making of Tarot with all of its esoterics and psychology is one of my favorite activities. I will work with you to create a curriculum focused on your goals and interests. Some focus areas you could consider include:

    You may choose to schedule your four hours of Tarot tutoring sessions in increments of 1-hour or 2-hour blocks.
