Kristin Lee-Gray (Windstar), CTI and President, Canadian Tarot Network, International Tarot Certification.

Today I am involved in teaching and sharing Tarot in many ways that I never expected.  In addition to the www.spiritualguidedpsychics.com website; I also read for the American Tarot Association on their FTN and FRN network, where I meet people from all around the world.

The questions are usually the very similar, but with different back stories.  It’s the back stories that come through depending on the querent’s culture and Earth experience.

As the current President of the Canadian Tarot Network I also find myself volunteering and working with many Tarot devotees.  I call them devotees because to claim Tarot as a friend and energy in one’s life takes a certain passion and commitment, a devotion to a belief that the Universe can communicate with us through symbolism.  Tarot just happens to be one of many symbolic forms available to us.

I was only two years old when my father, a geologist with Gulf Oil, came home one night after seeing a bright ball of fire cross the sky as he and his crew were driving home to our home in New Mexico.  This is the exact same time I began to have some serious night flying dreams that lasted for several years.

Roswell, New Mexico,  was a short drive from our town.  Many years later as I was flying into the San Francisco Bay airport at night, I was amazed at how the night lights of the cities reminded me of those dreams I had as a child.  But I never thought much more about it.  It was always in the back of my mind that there is more out there to be discovered.

My career in the Bay Area lasted for 30 years, after which time I retired, and moved back home with my wheel-chair bound mother as a care giver soon after my father passed on.  It has been the most enriching time of my entire life.  Here in Red Earth USA I have an active Tarot and art studio, both online and in my home, and two booths at a local indoor flea market where I teach spirit art and conduct Tarot classes and readings on the weekends.  I do Tarot readings at spirit fairs several times per year, and teach Tarot through online classes as well as here at my home studio.  I also co-op a monthly Tarot meet-up for this city and surrounding towns.

Tarot was just a fun thing for me when I was working all those years on my “job-job” but now it breathes new energy into my life.  Most importantly I love the people I work with and meet.  They bring a lot of joy into my life for which I am most grateful.  Some of these people have taught me about crystals and gemstones; Archangels; and other oracle decks which I use along with my Tarot readings.   I’m now studying more in depth about essential oils and aromatherapy.

Tarot is my back story, what comes next could be any number of things – I’m open!

Blessings to All, Kristin

Frances is a reader and advisor. Tarot, for her, is a language between the visible and invisible. She can read just about anything – cards, pebbles, crystals – it is all about energy. Her gift is to see the light, to show the soul’s path and to guide and empower. Her approach is intuitive.

Frances works and lives in NYC. Some of her clients call her their life coach. Her intuition and sensitivity are acute and have been since birth.

Frances states that; “most people are dominant in either the left side of their brain (Logic/Reason) or their right side (Intuition/Emotion) with me you get both (Dual Mind) – strong intuition, emotions and logic and reason. I see patterns, I see paths, I feel emotions and what is missing or needed.”

“My gift is to see light through darkness, to show you your soul’s path and to guide and empower you. My style is loving, clear and above all, inspirational. I use the cards or stones as a tool, they are merely a language between the visible and invisible, they help me focus and articulate what I see and feel.”

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein

Tarot allows us to find the miraculous in every aspect of our lives. Tarot is a powerful and creative way of taking control of the problems and potentials in your life. It is one of the most popular and most misunderstood forms of divination and yet rich with symbols and traditions. It never ceases to amaze!

Why not let Frances teach you how to open yourself, and find your way between the visible and invisible through Tarot?
