Who writes this site

How the card meanings are written
- The Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. Meanings follow the deck drawn by Pamela Colman Smith and the traditional correspondences of the Golden Dawn system it grew from.
- Every angle of a card. Each card guide covers upright and reversed meanings, love, career and money, spirituality, feelings, advice and a yes-or-no answer.
- Honest examples. Examples on this site are hypothetical and labelled as such. There are no invented client stories or testimonials.
- Reflection, not fear. Difficult cards are explained as honestly as the easy ones, without scaremongering.
