About us
Welcome Card Sleuths! This is a female only group for practicing tarot and oracle card readings in a supportive and kind environment. Beginners and experienced alike are welcome.
LBTQIA friendly :)
If you identify as a female of any colour under the moon and sun, and you're bi, straight, ace, intersex, lesbian or trans, you are very welcome!
(If you present as a male in your bio, please be aware that I will reflexively refuse your request to join, sorry! Females only, no exceptions.)
Any kind of deck you use for cartomancy readings is okay to bring along and use. Oracle or angel, tarot, pip, or one that's hand-drawn on foolscap and chopped up into discernable pieces is a-okay! ☺️
If you don't have your own cards right now, a good affordable starter tarot deck is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck through Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/091386613X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_2wQdGbZ9VG5XW
Or Lenormand for $20-ish: \
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1572819871/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_DKQdGb6NXK5RG
This is not a traditional teaching environment. I'm not a teacher :) This club is just for women to practise, these are not formal lessons. If you don't know much, that's okay, let the organiser know and they can pair you up with someone friendly.
Respectful, open-minded and kind discussion around meanings is encouraged whilst remembering that everyone's meanings are ultimately valid and acceptable.
Same goes with spiritual beliefs, to each their own! No one needs to disclose their belief system or ideas on how the universe and everything works if they don't want to :)
A clear photo of your face is needed to join. Feel free to change it once your request has been accepted.
Homophobic, abusive or racist views will not be tolerated. Try to avoid all the 'isms if you can! 😅🌞✨
We each have different rules and comfort levels around others touching our cards. If you're the reader and you don't want others shuffling or touching your deck that is absolutely okay.
Some people will be okay with drinks or snacks on the table next to their cards, others won't be. Feel free to let your reading partner know your wishes.
Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult who will stay with them for the duration of the event.
We each have the power of discernment and free will and others cannot be held liable for actions we take from what we are told in readings. Go to a GP or certified health practitioner for health concerns.
No-shows will be noted. Update your RSVP to receive a gold star (just kidding - no gold star, but please do update your RSVP if you can no longer make it to an event).
For in-person events, please stay home if you have cold symptoms, even if you know it's not COVID.

The Intuition Wound: A Healing for Analytical Thinkers
·OnlineOnlineDo you want to be more in touch with your intuition, but the thinking mind is always in the forefront? If so, this workshop is for you!
> “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” -Albert Einstein
Your intuition is within you, ready for you to access. The problem is we've been taught not to trust it.
Our modern society has taught us: The Mind is better.
What I've discovered is that logic can take us far, but it can't connect with the higher wisdom that is the inner voice of our true selves.In this reflective and healing workshop, we will explore how society’s over-reliance on logic and reason has created an intuition wound that blocks us from accessing our intuition.
We will identify masks and outmoded survival mechanisms, let go of old stories given to us by others about intuition, and clear the limited-belief systems that block us from trusting our inner voice.In this workshop, we will:
- Discuss how our society's value of logic over intuition has blocked us from trusting our intuition.
- Explore common limited-belief systems we've inherited due to our cultural programming preventing us from accessing our intuition.
- Reflect on our own intuition wounds and survival mechanisms as a result of real life experiences
- Touch on how past life trauma and inheritances may affect our intuition
- End with an energy healing meditation to release blocks we're ready to let go of
The core intention of this workshop is the come to a more balanced relationship with our Intuition and Mind, so that we can use both with reverence.
A replay to the workshop will be available for those unable to make it live
Who is this workshop for?
Calling all: Analyzers. Thinkers. Overthinkers. Science-y / STEM types. Planners. Nerds. A-Types. Ultra-Practical. Intellectuals. Academics. …Who would like a more balanced, and trusting relationship with your intuition or inner voice.

Journaling with Tarot is a supportive way to connect with the wisdom of the Tarot, while learning and reflecting on the meanings of each individual card by applying it to your own life.

Join us each week on Zoom to review and journal about the featured Tarot card of the week.
In this hour together, we will:
● Center: Begin with a centering meditation to fully arrive and be present
● Learn: Our featured card of the week (See featured card schedule below) — We’ll walkthrough the themes, symbols and general meanings for this card
● Write: Journaling prompts to connect with our featured card and how it may be showing up for you in your life. (Time will be allotted to journal on your own)
● Community: Share & discuss any insights that arose for you in your journaling (Welcome to share, but don't have to!)
● Pull a card for the group! — Lastly, I will pull a card and tune into what message wants to come through for those of us in this space together
No tarot deck necessary! Bring your journal, an open mind, and a compassionate heart.
