About Me

My name is ilayda (ee-lie-dah), and I'm a cynically optimistic realist. A storyteller and word witch, I dabbled in experimental theatre, comedy and performance before I fell down the magical rabbit hole after being gifted my first deck of Tarot cards on my 30th birthday. Not gonna lie gang, nothing's been the same since. 

About My Tarot Practice

Performance + interaction + introspection + intuition = magic.

 

I cannot tell you absolutes. I cannot write your story for you.

I won't tell you whether you'll become rich or famous. I won't tell you whether you should dump your bf, quit your job, if your ex was your soul-mate or if Uncle Barry is writing you out of his will. Soz.

​

What I *can* do is use the Tarot to provide prompts that help you ask questions of yourself, dig deeper & shine a light on your motivations - and how they cause you to relate to the world around you.

 

I use the Tarot and story-telling to encourage you to consider how the way you think, feel and act can change circumstances and events around you. I think this is alchemy; magic.

​

The Tarot is really just a book about the deepest secrets and truths of being human in this uncertain place of existence.

 

I try to use those stories to encourage you to face secrets and truths about yourself in turn. I draw on my expertise in performance & story practices, my understanding of mysticism, my intuition, a bit of spirituality and what background reading and learning I've done about psychology and therapeutic practices. 

​

If philosophy, accountability to yourself, self-discovery & a bit of swearing is your jam, then you'll probably get something out of my readings. If you want someone to impress you with fancy guesswork about your life, it ain't me.
