Confessions of a Tarot Reader
I'm Bex. I'm here to make Tarot a little less scary.
I'm giving you a personal, behind the scenes tour of what it's actually like to be a tarot reader.
I compare notes with other esoteric baddies about what we're thinking during a tarot reading, what you can expect as a metaphysical client, and how this whole psychic mediumship thing works in the first place!
I'm so glad you're here.
