As a chaplain at Shenandoah University working in the Spiritual Life Office, my tarot practice Kindred Roots is a deeply collaborative, affirming, and reflective space. I use tarot as a tool for self-empowerment and connection, rooted in storytelling rather than prediction. My sessions invite people into dialogue with themselves and their own wisdom, exploring different pathways for healing, decision-making, and personal growth. I do not claim to know anyone’s future; instead, I offer cards as mirrors and guides that help illuminate the possibilities already present within each person.
My work is framed within a queer and liberatory lens, shaped in part by my own experiences with religious trauma. I center queer and trans representation in my readings and intentionally draw from decolonized practices that challenge rigid, prescriptive interpretations of tarot. My background as a chaplain-in-training deeply informs this work--I’m committed to affirming the agency, autonomy, and sacredness of everyone I read for, especially those whose identities have been marginalized or erased in spiritual spaces.
Whether reading cards at festivals, for students, friends, or fellow wanderers, I see tarot as a way to return to ourselves and each other. Kindred Roots reflects my love for nature, storytelling, music, cats, and community--it’s a practice of grounding, growing, and reimagining together.
