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: \

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.

Journaling with Tarot - Page of Cups
·OnlineOnlineAre you tarot-curious? Do you love to journal? Join us for self-discovery, reflective writing & community through Tarot in this free class.
My name is Bonnie Ho Gabaeff, and I’m a Tarot & Energy Reader based out of California. I host a class called Journaling with Tarot over Zoom. Once a month, Trish Appleyard teaches. You can see who is hosting each session lower in the description.
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.
No experience with Tarot is necessary — Tarot learners & experienced Tarot readers join us to learn, grow and support each other! You don't even need to have a deck.
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.
Please note: by joining this class, you agree to adhere to the The Journey Circle Safe Space Guidelines.
Each week, we will focus on the featured card.
PLEASE NOTE: This class is offered Wednesday, 7 AM AEST (Sorry for the odd hours, this is an ongoing class hosted in California).

Readings & MentorshipAbout Trish Appleyard
Meet Trish - someone with a deep curiosity for all things mystical, energetic and divinatory. As a Tarot and Lenormand reader, teacher, Akashic Records and energy worker, she brings warmth and understanding to every session.
When she's not doing readings, you'll find Trish completely geeking out over card symbolism and history, exploring the energetic structure of the universe, or sharing knowledge and learning from fellow seekers who love it too.
She believes we're all beautifully imperfect works in progress, and that there's always something more to discover.

Oracle Card & Tarot Card Reading Swap - Online
·OnlineOnlineDo you love Oracle or Tarot Cards? Bring your favourite decks and join us for a fun virtual reading swap! No reading experience necessary!
How it Works
- Show up to this Zoom event with your favorite oracle deck or tarot deck.
- You’ll be randomly matched with someone in a breakout room.
- Pull a card and read the text from your oracle deck booklet or tarot book.
For those who are a budding tarot reader (or other type of reader), you can also read (sans book) to get some practice in! - Switch! So that both of you get a reading.
We'll do 2 rounds of random swaps @ 20 minutes per swap. With a check-in between each swap to discuss any insights, aha’s etc we may want to share.
This is a great way to explore and get a reading from a deck you may not have, or from a budding tarot reader.
Bring with you:
- Your favorite deck(s)!
- A journal if you’d like to take notes.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE AN ORACLE OR TAROT DECK TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SWAP.
We also ask that you turn on your video, so that your partner can see the cards.
This swap will take place on Weds, Aug 12th at 2 PM Pacific
- That’s 3 PM Mountain, 4 PM Central, 5 PM Eastern
- Weds, 10 PM BST / London
- Thurs, Aug 13 @ 7 AM AEST / Brisbane
PLEASE be on time! The matching process necessitates everyone to be there on time for a smooth process. If you arrive late, you will not be admitted, until the next round begins. (Wait in the waiting room.)
I hope you can join us for this fun reading swap!
