Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Tarot, the Heroic Journey, or what to expect?
Here are some answers to help you understand the work and decide which experience may be right for you.
-
Tarot is a symbolic tool that can help us look at our lives from a different perspective.
For Marty, Tarot isn't simply about predicting the future. It provides a way to think symbolically and explore deeper questions about ourselves, our experiences, and our spiritual journeys.
-
Marty's goal is to create a safe, loving environment where you can look at your life not simply as a series of problems to overcome, but as a mystery to explore and embrace.
He doesn't believe he has all the answers for you.
“The good news is, you do.”
His role is to help you remember what you already know about yourself and support you in living a more fulfilled life through greater self-awareness.
-
No. You don't need to be familiar with Tarot to participate in a reading. My purpose is to create a space where you can explore your questions and experiences through the symbolism of the cards.
-
No. You create your own future. Marty's uses Tarot as a tool for reflection, awareness, and self-discovery.
The cards can offer another perspective on the story you're currently living and help you explore possibilities for the future you want to create.
-
Ideally, find a time and place where you can be present and free from distractions.
All readings are done via Zoom unless otherwise agreed to in advance. You’ll be sent a link approximately 10 minutes before the reading begins.
An attitude of playfulness and adventure is always helpful.
-
The Heroic Journey is Marty's signature three-session experience combining Tarot with the Hero's Journey framework.
Rather than focusing on a single question in one reading, the experience gives you time to explore your larger story through multiple sessions, reflection, and personal discovery.
The Hero's Journey package includes three 44-minute sessions, ideally scheduled about a week apart.
The first session begins the reading and includes reflection work for the following week. The second session goes deeper into what has emerged, and the third gives you an opportunity to share and explore your own Heroic Journey.
The package also includes recordings of the sessions and a summary booklet.
-
Yes. Tarot is a wonderful tool to explore an issue and provide guidance and clarity.
For a single session, Marty typically uses the Celtic Cross or other Tarot spreads rather than the Heroic Journey spread.
A recording of the reading is available if desired.
-
