THE LAYOUTS
One Card Meditation: This reading is good for both extremes of focus. It can offer a wide general view to serve as an open meditation for the day…OR it can be a laser focused quick follow up to a recent larger reading.
Three Card Energy Path: Inspired by the classic “past-present-future” reading, this layout takes you beyond old style predictions into the realm of energy flow and the power of choice. Includes “energy moving away from you,” “energy around you” and “energy moving toward you” to show the path you are currently on and suggestions for the best way to navigate the energy flow.
Zombie Cat Three Card Yes or No: Tongue in what’s left of his cheek, Zombie Cat style readings do just what the name says and answers ANY yes-or-no question with a little snark and lighthearted humor. If your question isn’t yes or no, Zombie Cat will make it into one. Buyer beware – after all it says zombie right there in the name. Zombie Cat’s readings are 100% guaranteed to contain words and have a 50% chance of being dead wrong.
Five Card TaoCraft Layout: This is a great all-purpose reading with the best balance between depth and detail, simplicity and clarity. This layout is clear enough for a first-ever reading but still advanced enough to inspire those who know Tarot well. I has the three cards of the Energy Path latyout plus advice/choices and alternative path cards.
Seven Card Expanded TaoCraft Layout: Has all of the same cards as the 5 card reading, but adds ‘helping energies’ and ‘potential challenges’. This is the largest, most detailed layout that I offer. This is the layout used for live online and in-person individual sessions.
Digital InkMagick is a one card handwritten Tarot reading including a sigil element illustration that is digitized into .pdf format and sent to you by email.
InkMagick and mini InkMagick: Unique Tarot experience, unlike any I’ve ever seen. This is the reading for book lovers everywhere. This special edition reading is hand written with a classic fountain pen or glass dip pen on high quality 24lb paper, staple and tape bound with cardstock covers. Contains the same parts as the other readings but with the added feature of a “sigil element” intuitive illustration. This is a sigil or glyph-like drawing given by intuition that you can use in your own sigil crafting, or you can use as-is for a lucky mark or talisman. A mini InkMagic reading is a handwritten one card meditation reading mailed to you in a plain white envelope for privacy. The mini also includes the sigil element. Tangible item – only available through TaoCraftTarotShop on Etsy. Price as listed in shop.
The Year Ahead: One card for each of the upcoming four seasons no matter what time of year the reading is done. Jump right in, and get a guiding them for the next 3 months and each of the seasons beyond plus another card to symbolize the coming year as a whole. Available at New Years, and randomly on the special offers page.
TimeFlow a tool for managing time and getting organized. The layout positions are:
- Let it rest (pull back your attention and set this aside, give it room to grow)
- Let it go (something that can or should be fully released)
- Que it up (something whose time has not yet come, but needs preparation)
- Let it flow (the best place to put your attention and energy right now)
Five Card Cartomancy Same layout as Five card Tarot, but uses modern playing cards. A lighter, less intense reading, good for evaluating if we are a good match or for people unfamiliar with / unsure about Tarot cards.
