Readings By Phred

Readings Are Offered in Three Levels of Depth

Upon booking a reading with Phred, she will schedule a time to connect with you over the phone to gain clarity on what it is you are wanting guidance with. During that phone consultation she will go over with you the five different Oracle decks she works closely with to identify the deck best suited to your needs.

How Your Reading With Me Will Go

After our conversation I will dedicate a set amount of time for your reading. I don’t do a lot of rituals when I pull cards— but I do like to light a candle, set some crystals near my computer and give my decks a thorough shuffle just to make me feel settled in. I think about the person I’m reading for. Call it meditation, call it channeling, call it whatever… I just think of it as thinking about the person I’m reading for. If I have context, then their story surrounds that thought. If not, I just think of their name.

If the person has a specific concern, I go ahead and start formulating questions that will help us get to the root of the issue. I like playing with Whys, What’s, and How’s. Oftentimes, this is when I start reframing questions whose scope I feel need to be broadened. I shuffle the cards and start reading. That’s really it. I just dive in, no muss, no fuss. Depending on my mood, I’ll either shuffle between pulls or I’ll pull all the cards, for example, straight away and just work with that. There are times when we have chosen a specific deck to work with and one of my other decks begins to beckon to me, and I will use that deck for clarification.

I write as I read. Every time I flip a card open, I do some free writing—literally, just typing out the words, images, and feelings that come up for me as I look at the cards. This is the rawest an online reading is ever going to get—I don’t write sentences because I feel my fingers can’t always keep up with my intuition. It’s really just words, phrases, and a lot of OMGs, WTFs, HOLY SHITs.

Once I’m done or once my designated tarot time ends, I let my notes rest for a day or two so that my pulls sink in. No one ever taught me this and I have absolutely no scientific basis for this belief, but I feel like leaving the reading raw for a few days helps me process the messages.

I polish everything up. After a few days, I go back to my notes and type everything out. 99% of the time, I stick with whatever I wrote the first time (I just shave a lot of the OMGs off. On very rare occasions, some other thought / interpretation / meaning comes up (as a result of me letting the messages rest for a few days) and I change course.

Readings are provided via email, with pictures of the cards, within 3 to 6 days, depending on how many cards were pulled, and how in-depth the reading.
