About Tarot

Tarot is a very ancient form of divination. It's origins lost in time. There are obvious connections to Egypt & to the Hebrew Qabbala & it's first emergence goes back for centuries if not millenniums. There are a number of decks surviving from the Renaissance.  Today you will find hundreds of decks each deck "calling" to it's owner. Many  may be bought for private collections. I use the Witches' Tarot by Ellen Cannon-Reed because when I was taking a workshop on the subject we were shown a variety of different decks & it appealed to me. I own several other decks, but my working deck is well worn. Whether it's the traditional such as the Rider-Waite or Crowley decks or more contemporary such as I use, each reader uses the deck for their own form of divination.

Other Services

As an ordained Priestess (ULC), I can perform various services including weddings, memorials, baby namings, coming of age & croning.  Please click here for more information.

On certain rare conditions I will do Magick on someone else's behalf. I prefer to empower my clients with  tools to shape their own destiny.  If you feel you situation warrants click Magick here .

If you have your own psychic abilities, have experienced "strange" phenomena or have other questions; if you would just like to chat with someone who understands send me an e-mail .  Sometimes if you experience things you don't understand, it can be unsettling, but with some information & training we can minimize some of those fears. While my path is the Pagan path, yours doesn't have to be.

From time to time I teach classes on Wicca, the Goddess, Candle Magick & beginning energy work (chakras & auras).

Rhyschenda's Bio

I began my spiritual quest as a teenager when I was introduced to metaphysics by one of my classmates whose family was Spiritualist.  Under her mother's guiding care I was introduced to the Ouija Board & the concept that we can contact those in the world of spirit.  I  started studying astrology on my own in high school & college.

In my late twenties I connected with two wonderful teachers: Richard Hanuman, a graduate of the Berkeley Psychic Institute, who taught psychic healing & who led a Dances of Universal Peace group in Menlo Park.  From that I was introduced to Sufism & studied that path for many years. My heart has been permanently touched by the Sufis' love.  My other teacher, who was actually a therapist for me, was Dr. Stephen Field , a Transpersonal Psychologist, a lay Zen Buddhist monk & a devotee of Sai Baba.

 I was attracted to the Craft through the Bay Area Pagan Assemblies (BAPA).  They were having events at the Unitarian church in which I was a member.  I heard their drumming circle one night while I was in a recovery meeting.  So I decided to find out more.  At one of BAPA's Gaia's Gateway events I met my future teachers, Janet Christian & Eric Marsh.  This set me on the path of Wicca. To tell you the truth I had to get over years of conditioning our society placed on the terms "witch" & "witchcraft". I couldn't even use the "W" word for several months even though I knew it was the path my heart desired. I did get over it & now can embrace what it fully means to be a WITCH. Anyway,  I was initiated as a first degree priestess in July 1993.  Whoa!! Can you believe that!  Where did the time go? Subsequently I became a third degree priestess in the New Albion Tradition.  My own coven, Shadows in the Mist, was formed in 1997 in Petaluma, CA. In 2000 I moved north & have been following my own eclectic solitary path since.

I work as a professional psychic (using Tarot cards, pendulum, crystal ball, spirit guides and a little common sense) to help people with life's challenges as well as open up and develop their own psychic powers & discover their spiritual path.

I'm always happy to network with others whose spiritual path is nature-centered, Goddess oriented, or otherwise Pagan friendly.  Sometimes we need support & we need to support each other when we feel like we are the only ones who have these ideals.
