Frequently Asked Questions
Cost, booking, what a sitting is like, and what organizers ask before a party or wedding.
Readings
Where do tarot readings take place?
Private readings happen in person at a Tulsa coworking space. For events and weddings I travel throughout the Tulsa metro, including Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Owasso, and Sapulpa. If you would rather read online, recorded and live online readings are available through my other practice, Ordinary Mystic.
How do I prepare for my reading?
Bring a question, or do not. Either works. The reading is better when you arrive with something specific you have been circling, but a wide-open reading can also be useful. No fasting, no rituals. Just show up.
Do I need to believe in tarot for the reading to work?
No. Skeptics are welcome and frequently get the most out of a sitting. The cards work as a thinking tool whether you treat them as archetypes, conversation starters, or a deck of paper.
What if I don't like the cards that come up?
We work with the cards we drew. That's part of the practice. The point is to sit with the question and the symbols that came up together, not to keep pulling until something feels right. Most readings get more interesting, not less, when you stay with the cards you have.
Booking & Pricing
How much does a tarot reading cost in Tulsa?
Private in-person readings are $40 for fifteen minutes, $100 for thirty, and $195 for a full hour. Thirty minutes is the standard session. Private events start at $300, which includes up to two hours of reading, with additional time at $125 per hour. Weddings, school events, corporate events, and large gatherings are quoted individually.
How far in advance should I book?
For private readings, a week is usually enough. For events and weddings, two to three months out is safer, especially for weekend dates in spring and fall.
Is a deposit required?
Not for private readings. Payment in full is what puts a private sitting on the calendar. Events and weddings require a non-refundable deposit to confirm the date, with the balance due on the day of the event. I will lay out the exact amount when we confirm.
How do tips work at events?
Tips are welcome but never expected, and they go to me directly rather than through the host. At vendor-style pop-ups where guests pay per reading, the price already covers the reading and a tip is simply a bonus.
Events & Weddings
Can I book a tarot reader for a wedding or private event in Tulsa?
Yes. Events and weddings are a regular part of my practice — parties, dinners, company gatherings, school and community events, festivals, markets, and venue pop-ups. Private events start at $300 for up to two hours. Weddings are quoted individually. The events page has the full picture.
How many guests can you read for at a large event?
For larger events, readings are kept shorter so more guests can participate. We will choose an appropriate reading length based on attendance, event duration, and the type of experience you want to create. Tell me the headcount and how long you want me there, and I will tell you honestly what is realistic, including whether one reader is enough.
What do you bring, and what do you need from us?
I bring the cloth, the deck, the lighting, the decor, and a small sign — everything that makes the table look like something. What I ask for is a corner of the room and, ideally, a small table and two chairs. Most venues already have those, so tell me up front whether you can provide the table and two chairs or whether I should bring the full setup. Either works; it just changes what I load into the car. A nearby outlet is helpful but not required.
How much space does a reader need?
Less than people expect. A card table's worth of space is enough. What matters more than square footage is quiet — a corner where a guest can hear and be heard without the rest of the room leaning in. If you cannot spare a table, I can bring one; just let me know when we book.
Who pays for the readings, the host or the guests?
Either, depending on the event. At a hosted event, you pay an agreed rate and readings are complimentary for your guests. At markets, festivals, and venue pop-ups, I can work as a vendor and guests purchase their own short readings. Tell me which fits your event and I will quote it accordingly.
Do you travel outside Tulsa?
Yes, throughout the Tulsa metro at no extra cost — Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Owasso, Sapulpa, and nearby. Travel outside the metro may be available for larger events and is quoted individually.
Do you do Halloween parties?
Yes, Halloween is one of the busiest stretches of the year for this practice. Book early, ideally by late summer, since October weekends fill first.
Can you read at a Gatsby or art deco themed party?
Yes, and it tends to be a natural fit. The Aquarian Tarot is itself a 1970s deco-revival deck, so the cards already match the room without any extra styling from me.
How long is each guest's reading at an event?
It depends on the headcount and how long you have booked me for. A short three to five minute reading lets more guests through the line; a longer one gives each guest more depth but fewer total readings. Tell me your numbers and I will recommend a length.
What do you need from the venue?
Ideally a small table, two chairs, and a quiet-ish corner where a guest can hear and be heard. If the venue cannot provide a table, I bring one. A nearby outlet helps but is not required.
About the Practice
Are you a psychic or a medium?
No. I do not claim to predict the future, contact the dead, or read minds. A tarot reading with me is a structured conversation. The cards are prompts that pull a question into focus from angles you would not arrive at alone. You bring the question; the cards organize the thinking.
What tarot deck do you use?
I read mostly from the Aquarian Tarot, a 1970s deco-revival deck. Its geometry matches both the way I think and the architecture of Tulsa. I also use the Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot, which is more faithful to the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
