Tarot is an ancient psychic system which aids in accessing the Spiritual Plane. Kate has studied, practiced, and taught Tarot for over 40 years, bringing her insights in using this system to assist her clients. Where Kate and Spirit are concerned, there are no “silly” questions. If it matters to you, it matters to Kate. Ask, and she will do her best for you.
Tarot shows the possibilities and probabilities we confront as we walk the Path of Life. Tarot does not give us the answers. We must choose for ourselves, accepting the inevitable responsibility of our choice. Tarot can indicate how we are progressing in this life, can make more clear the Life Lessons we are learning, but Tarot will not do the learning for us. Kate interfaces her Tarot readings with her clear dreams and Spiritual directives, with the effects of current retrogrades and eclipses, with the lore of eight Seasonal Celebrations, and with her unique “extended layout” of the cards; this gives the client a broader perspective, which promotes better choosing among options.
Kate feels her purpose in this life is to help those who come to her for advice and insight. She trusts the patterns Spirit reveals to her and conveys Spirit’s message honestly, with as much clarity as possible.
Kate offers the public short Tarot consultations at Metaphysical Fairs and at Ancient Mysteries, a metaphysical shop in South Austin. A complete listing of Kate’s public availability is found on the Out and About With Kate page.
Kate has adapted the materials from her BeginningTarot class to better serve the solitary student. Information about Tarot Basics, a self-paced course of study, is posted on this website on the "Instruction" page.
Kate's skills and talents in accessing Spirit and interpreting Spirit's message for the individual are available by appointment whenever it is mutually convenient. Private consultations may be done either at Kate's home office or by telephone. Tapes of consultations are available to the client for both telephone and "in-person" consultations. Kate's fees and charges are posted on the Current Retrogrades page.
Kate also accepts engagements for parties, celebrations, and other festive events at an hourly rate. The options for these events extend beyond Kate's Tarot expertise, including Hand-Scans, Rune Castings, and the exploration of Generational issues as indicated by the Outer Planets. For a more in-depth explanation of these options, please ask Kate.
