2026 tarot update:
I asked my wife, what picture I should use for this post? She told me to use the one from Saturday, when I was outside playing in the snow. My feeling was that it was a goofy picture, but she liked it, so here it is. It’s also the only picture taken of just myself during the last year.
***
I made a conscious decision to stop drinking in January 2025, and just celebrated one year sober. I have spent the last year healing, building my confidence and intuition, and learning to love myself. That goofy guy you see in the picture above was having a blast playing in the snow with his wife and pups… He is the result of a much-needed year of reflection and hard work. The time I took for myself has been received with much gratitude.
***
Since 2020, I have 2539 documented tarot readings under my belt, and several hundred more through various events around Athens. In 2026, I have 65 readings already, 10 of which have been full sessions. It is truly an honor for me to have the opportunity to educate people on the true nature of Tarot. The holistic properties behind this misunderstood gift can benefit anyone and everyone, including myself. I include Tarot in my own daily meditation practice.
***
I am currently accepting new clients, and fortunate enough to already be booking full sessions into April at my private tarot practice located in Athens. Please DM me to set up an appointment or for more information. Thank you for taking the time to read this, hope to see you in the near future, talk soon.

Here is a quick Tarot recap before next week’s update…

2000- Got my first Tarot reading. That single reading inspired me years later to learn Tarot.
2014- Bought my first deck and began teaching myself with the help of many great books.
2020- Decided to level up and find a professional teacher. I met the incredible Christy Gray.
2021- Encouraged by Miss Christy, I began reading professionally.
2022- Met Dave Ranney and was invited to read Tarot monthly at Ghost Apothecary.
2023- Started offering lessons through many workshops, as well as full sessions. With much help from Dave, I opened Mystic Tarot inside Ghost.
2024- Continued at Mystic, as we built our amazing family of energy workers welcoming walk-ins and appointments, Fridays thru Sundays with over 15 different interchanging readers throughout the year.
2025- Ghost moved to Athens. Mystic Tarot closed. I stepped back for a much needed year of self care.

2026- Full update next week…

A letter from Harold, Mystic Coordinator .athens
***
Hello beautiful Athens,

My wife and I walked into Ghost, then located in Clayton, 3 years ago. During an amazing conversation with Dave, I said, “Hey, this place needs a Tarot reader.” The rest is history. I Sat up my table the following month and had 22 readings on my 1st day.

I read at Ghost once a month for almost a year when Dave decided to make Tarot a permanent part of their wonderful shop. An amazing space was constructed ‘under the stairs’ and I became Owner/Operator of Mystic Tarot located within Ghost. We built an amazing community of mystics and offered readings with a rotation of Tarot Practitioners every Saturday and Sunday.

Now, with Ghost in Athens, my title is different, but what we are creating is very similar. We have an awesome family of Readers, several of which started with us in Clayton, to educate and share their insight and wisdom on all things ‘mystic’ with you.
Currently, we offer 15 minute readings on a walk-in basis every Saturday, and will be expanding to other days of the week in the near future. We also offer 30 minute and 1 hour readings by appointment only. DM me for any additional info and to set up a session with one of our amazing readers.

It has been a pleasure introducing myself to all of you beautiful Athenians, and I look forward to our future together. Talk soon…

Big Love,
Harold Melton
Mystic Coordinator, Ghost

Mystic Tarot update from owner/operator, Harold Melton…
***
I slipped into the background at Mystic back in January when my first case of COVID caught me off guard. The good thing is it raised my awareness about my own wellbeing and health. Dave, Robby, and our awesome readers have been amazing and I am back on solid ground. I wouldn’t miss reading Tarot .apothecary on their last day in Clayton for anything in the world. Ghost and Mystic Tarot are my homes away from home, and the beautiful people I have met on this journey have become family.
***
Please join us as I will be reading Tarot and giving away free hugs this coming Saturday at Ghost & Mystic. Lovely April will be reading Tarot as well at the “Ghost” tent as part of the “Ramshackle” celebration! Hope to see each of you soon, BIG love to you all!
***
Stay tuned, as I will soon share the direction of Mystic Tarot during Ghost’s next chapter in Athens, talk soon.
