My Journey

Tarot can be a valuable tool for personal growth, perspective, insight, and healing. It's easy to lose sight of what's truly important to us when we are not reflecting on ourself and our life. Lucky for us, tarot has a special way of calling us out!

My name is Charisse but you can call me Char. I didn't start as the tarot obsessed lover that I am now. I began as a lover of Mathematics. I taught middle school and high school, working as a personal tutor when not teaching in the classroom. You can say I'm a logical person. On this journey, I've always mentally pointed out to myself the palm reader sign or psychic businesses on my drives and wondered to myself how they have lasted the test of time. I was skeptical of the power of crystals and mathematically, how tarot works.

I distinctly remember my sister taking me to crystal store in San Fransisco to have a woman read me. I don't know how this woman did what she did. I am in awe to this day. Barely an introduction, she looks at me kindly and describes how I feel stuck as if my feet were in sand. This truth resonated with me deeply and the tears poured out. I left with crystals I didn't know how to use and something to think about. How can I get my feet out of the sand?

Years later, cue deciding to start grad school for Mathematics in order to eventually teach at the college level. It was a struggle. After a 12 year "break" between my undergrad and grad school, I felt swallowed by the learning curve, trying feverishly to keep up. Thankfully, I was eventually was able to gain some footing.

Before the start of my last semester, I was spending time with friends and we somehow arrive at the conversation of tarot. I say, "I always thought it would be cool to know how to read tarot cards." My friend replies, "You can learn!" Then, as the gears in our brains start to slowly turn in unison, our enthusiasm grows, our eyes lock with seriousness, and our words get quieter with every sentence. "I want to learn." We decide on how to move forward and our blood bubbles in excitement.

Gifted my first deck, I was quickly in love. This love proves to make my final semester of grad school significantly more difficult. I was constantly called to read cards for myself, watch readings, learn, and read about tarot. In moments when my sense would return, I would convince myself I need to study or do homework. I would sit down and have to reread the same sentence multiple times, if not feel sleepy instantly. Interesting how energized I would suddenly become when returning back to the cards!

I eventually graduated and currently teach at the college level. Tarot has changed me in the best possible way. It makes me feel empowered in this life. I feel less stuck in the sand and have the insight I seek at my disposal. I am passionate about Mathematics, education, and Tarot. I look forward to the day I can teach you to read Tarot for yourself and others!

In the meantime, allow me to validate or provide you with some insight by reading the cards for you!

With love,

Char
