Ethical tarot, for me, has never been about rules written in a dusty spiritual handbook or pretending to hand down destiny. It’s actually much more serious than that. Ethical tarot means remembering that every person who sits in front of me is a real human being carrying a real life, not a storyline for entertainment and not a problem for me to solve.
When someone comes to a reading, they’re usually standing at a threshold. Something hurts. Something is unclear. Something feels unfinished. My role is to hold up a mirror that helps them see themselves more clearly than they could alone.
People come when they’re grieving, jealous, angry, ashamed, confused, obsessed, heartbroken, or behaving in ways they themselves don’t fully understand. They arrive human.
Compassion, in this work is a discipline of not judging someone for where they are emotionally, even when their choices wouldn’t be mine.I’m not there to decide whether their feelings are evolved enough, healed enough, or spiritually impressive enough.
Sometimes someone is sitting in resentment. Sometimes they want revenge. Sometimes they’re still in love with the wrong person. Sometimes they know they’re repeating a pattern and can’t stop yet. My job isn’t to shame the shadow out of them. My job is to understand what that shadow is protecting.
And there’s humility in that. I’m not above the darkness. I’ve had my own versions of it. So when someone sits across from me in theirs, I’m not guiding from a mountaintop. I’m sitting beside them, holding a lantern steady while their own eyes adjust.
You want someone who can sit with you without judgment, without trying to fix you, rush you, or perform compassion. They stay neutral without being cold, compassionate without projecting their own beliefs
