Tarot Readings
Our Tarot readings offer a framework for understanding and clarifying where you are in the story of your life, what new directions are calling you, and what you can focus on to create the future you desire.
All of our readers connect to the cards intuitively, correlating your questions and stories with the archetypes that arise in your session. Our goal is to help you recognize and embrace your gifts, understand and navigate challenges, and step into your calling with renewed commitment and enthusiasm.
Many of our clients report that what we describe in Tarot readings (or some variation of it) does come to pass. But we’re not in the business of forecasting your future. We honor the fact that you always have free will, and that you (and the Universe) possess full agency to shape the course of your life.
Our readings are a space to explore the biggest questions and concerns you’re holding, and chart a way forward that feels aligned, soulful, and resourced.
Here’s what some of our clients say about our readings:
“Over the years, Typewriter Tarot’s readings have calmed me, inspired me, and focused me! Cecily is truly gifted — her keen intuition brings so much to the sessions. I feel she truly has my best interests in mind, and I always feel safe in her sessions. I’ve booked readings for a variety of reasons and every time I’m better for it.”
“Whenever Cecily pulls my first card, it always feels just right. Like the bell before a meditation, it pulls me into the story we are illuminating. Her card spreads always support my growth, reveal my areas of difficulty, and bring clarity of purpose to my professional journey as a psychotherapist and author.”
Tarot Reading with Cecily
$180
We’ll spend an hour together exploring any aspect of life you’d like to bring to the table — relationships, family dynamics, work, visions for the future, spirituality, creativity, or big decisions on your horizon. We can also dedicate a full reading to a creative project or collaboration, exploring various facets, challenges, and possibilities to help you continue your work with alignment and greater clarity.
I think of Tarot readings as conversations you get to have with your soul, your ancestors, and the benevolent forces of the Universe that conspire with you to craft your life story. I function as a switchboard operator, or translator, of sorts — your gentle witch guide with a sense of humor and plenty of practical and tailored ideas for how you can take the messages from your reading and work with them in the days and months ahead.
We usually begin with a brief conversation about what’s on your mind and what you’d like to explore. From there, we create your reading together, and flow through the magic. After your reading, I’ll share via email an overview of your cards, along with a collection of journaling prompts to help you integrate and gather more insight from your reading.
Main Character Reading with Cecily
$200
For storytellers crafting novels, short stories, and scripts, this reading focuses exclusively on your main character — the engine and the beating heart of your story.
Imagining our characters as psychologically nuanced beings is challenging work, which is why I crafted a unique 10-card Tarot spread to help writers explore their main characters as rich and textured creatures.
This spread illuminates your character’s relationship to the past and the future, their inner world, their ambitions, and the challenges they might face along their journey.
In this 90-minute reading, we’ll explore the character map revealed in the cards, and the possibilities and opportunities this might offer you as the author. We’ll also home in on areas that open new portals into the character, brainstorming together how various pieces of the story might fit together and interplay with one another.
As a writer, you’ll leave this reading with new clarity around story threads, plot opportunities, and thematic through-lines, which will help you craft a stronger, more compelling narrative in the long run. Think of this reading as an opportunity to talk with the spirit of your character and understand (and write!) them more fully, with more humanity, attention, and probably affection, too.
After your reading, you’ll receive a one-page summary of your spread, including an image of your cards, along with an audio or video recording (your preference), so you can revisit the messages from your session over time.
Tarot Reading with Our Collective
$120
We work with several skilled and experienced readers who approach the cards in a similar fashion, drawing on intuition and a deep knowledge of Tarot to interpret the messages that come through — with compassion and attention toward possibility and opportunity. After your reading, you’ll receive by mail Mystic Messages for three of your most compelling cards.
