FAQs
Before you book a reading, explore these FAQs to learn what to expect and how to get the most from your session/reading. If there's something you'd like to ask me that's not covered below, please email me at cathibewtarot@gmail.com and I'll be happy to respond.
1. What can I expect from a tarot reading with you?
During a reading, we’ll explore your questions together using the cards as a guide. I’ll explain what each card means in simple language and how it relates to your life, so you leave with clarity, insight and practical next steps.
2. Do I need to believe in tarot for it to work?
No. You just need to come with an open mind. Tarot is a tool for reflection and guidance, not a belief system. Many first‑time clients are simply curious.
3. How do I book a reading?
You can book directly through my website on the Reading Options page by clicking the price on your choice of reading. This will take you to payment. I'll email you once I've received your payment and your details, to confirm booking and, for online readings, to arrange a convenient day and time for us to connect.
4. How should I prepare for my reading?
Find a quiet space where you feel comfortable and where you won't be disturbed. Perhaps light a candle or your favourite incense to help you relax and more open to receive the answers and guidance Spirit will relay for you through tarot. It's helpful to write down your questions beforehand as this does help make the best use of our time together.
5. Can I ask specific questions, or should I keep it general?
Both are welcome. You can come with very specific questions or ask for a general reading to discover what you need to be aware of at the present time.
6. Will you tell me something bad or scary?
Never! Your wellbeing is my priority, so even challenging cards are read with care and compassion, focusing on guidance, growth and empowerment rather than instilling fear. I'm there to walk with and guide you on this journey together.
8. Can tarot predict the future exactly?
Tarot doesn’t fix the future in stone. It will highlight the energies and potential patterns based on your current path, and helps you make more conscious choices moving forward. We can look at likely timings of what your cards reveal.
9. Do you offer online/phone/video readings?
Yes. I offer online WhatsApp readings so we can connect wherever you are in the World.
10. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Please see my Policies page.
11. Are my reading and personal information confidential?
Absolutely! Everything you share with me during a reading is kept strictly private and confidential.
12. Can you read about health, legal, or financial issues?
Tarot is not a substitute for professional medical, legal or financial advice. I don’t diagnose, prescribe or make legal/financial decisions for you, but we can explore the emotional and spiritual side of what you’re going through.
13. How often should I get a tarot reading?
That’s personal. For some people it's monthly, others when faced with a decision, or struggling with a situation. I don’t encourage back‑to‑back readings on the same question; it’s best to give time for guidance to unfold.
14. Can I record or take notes during my session?
Absolutely! In fact, it's common to be so caught up in your reading that later you struggle to remember all that was revealed for you. So, if we’re online I'm happy for you you to record our session for your personal use, but I'd appreciate it if you would make me aware when we first connect.
15. Do you read for third parties (e.g., “What is X thinking about me?”)?
My focus is on you - your energy, choices and growth. I don’t pry into other people’s private thoughts, but we can look at the dynamics of the relationship and what’s healthiest for you.
