Tarot Roots Reading
Tarot Roots is a foundational tarot mapping designed to explore the deeper archetypal patterns shaping your life path. Unlike a traditional live tarot reading focused primarily on current events or prediction, Tarot Roots works with your fixed cards and core energetic patterns to uncover the themes that sit beneath the surface of your journey.
This session examines the spiritual, emotional, ancestral, and symbolic roots influencing how you move through the world — your gifts, tensions, recurring lessons, shadow work, and areas of growth. The reading serves as a grounding framework that can help you better understand yourself, your cycles, and the deeper “why” beneath your experiences.
Because the reading is prepared in advance, much of the interpretive work is completed before we meet. Our session focuses on walking through the map together, discussing insights, reflections, questions, and how these patterns are currently expressing themselves in your life.
Ideal for:
• periods of transition or reinvention
• spiritual self-study
• creative or life crossroads
• deepening self-awareness
• understanding recurring patterns and lessons
Length: 60 minutes
Includes:
• Pre-prepared Tarot Roots archetypal spread
• Live discussion and interpretation session
• Optional photo or written summary afterward

Office Hours
A relaxed, open-ended space for questions, guidance, brainstorming, and conversation. Office Hours are designed for students, community members, collaborators, and herb-curious folks who want support, clarification, or a place to talk through ideas without the structure of a full consultation or formal reading.
This session is ideal for:
- herbal questions,
- spiritual discussion,
- project feedback,
- apprenticeship support,
- protocol clarification,
- creative brainstorming,
- or general guidance along your path.
Think of it as a flexible community support session rooted in conversation, learning, and shared exploration.
Length: 30–60 minutes
Format: Casual conversational session via video call.
Note: Office Hours are educational and supportive in nature and are not a replacement for individualized herbal consultations or medical care.
