Travel my Journeys of Tarot Readings

Greetings and Salutations. I have studied Tarot and been offering Tarot readings for 17 years. I am a professional member of the International Tarot Guild and have been a student and teacher of esoteric courses and practices for over 15 years.

My full legal name is Shannon H. Esmeralda. Esmeralda is a name passed down through the females in my family. Usually given as a christian or middle name, I legally changed it to my surname. (Thus giving me the initials S.H.E.) As a young child I was always drawn to the unusual. I started reading books on ESP at age seven and trying out seances with my cousins when I was eleven.

My best friend and I spent days and nights reading books of Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts, Janet and Stewart Farrar, Sir James Robert Frazer, astrology, anything on the paranormal or the six sense. At age sixteen; working and tired of waiting for a magical aunt to give me a deck; I bought my first deck of Tarot Cards - The Book of Thoth by Aleister Crowley and then set out to learn all about Tarot readings.

I slowly began to understand the meaning of Tarot but couldn’t quite understand how to interpret a tarot spread. I kept reading the Tarot cards for friends and family. It was difficult to find any teachers of Tarot or Tarot classes.

My past studies of the great religions, alchemy, occult sciences, Qabbalah, world myths and legends, as well as shamanic practices led to my teaching and sharing of rituals to many groups of people for three years.

I loved being a teacher of the esoteric but also a student of others’ creeds and rituals practices. Very soon the manifestation of my rituals began. For me; the ability to be the caretaker of 20 acres of isolated tree land. Here I was able to facilitate many rituals under stars in synchrony with the cycles of the moon and heavens.

At age 30 and the mother of three children under three years old; I experienced what one calls a kundalini awakening. This awakened and opened up all my psychic channels and suddenly I could "read" Tarot Cards.

I have created my own set of Tarot cards, based on Ancient Sumerian history and mythology, and the Serpent Bearer; Ophiachus within the Zodiac. This deck is known as the Ophiatrix Tarot and is available for purchase. Tarot Cards to purchase

Over the years I have done hundreds of Tarot Readings and helped hundreds of people wanting to explore the spiritual realms. It is my Duty and Joy.
