My process
Why I read Tarot Cards by Lynda D. Kavanagh
All my life I have been spiritual and based life decisions on intuition.
In 1996, my Mom, Doris Oliver, bought me a deck of Tarot cards. The cards were called Aquarian. Her horoscope sign was Aquarius so I think that is why she picked that deck. My Mom and Dad (Goldy Oliver) have both passed away but I know their spirits are with me when I do my Tarot readings. This is a picture of them at their wedding reception in 1932.
I loved the cards she gave me. I "played" with them for years but didn't have time to get serious. In 2019, when the world became unsettled with a weird virus, a selfish politician and people getting depressed and losing hope, something inside my head said "pull out those cards." (I am pretty sure it was Mom talking to me!)
I wanted to be able to help myself understand what was happening and how best to deal with worldwide shifts but I also wanted to help my friends, family and even strangers find ways to deal with uncertainty and find the opportunities and optimism that Tarot can help people see.
Since that time, I have read cards, either in person or virtually from all parts of the world except Asia (hey someone from there, get in touch please!!!) See my Reviews.
What are Tarot Readings?
Tarot readings are not about predicting the future; we all have independent thoughts and actions. What the Tarot can do, depending on the type of Tarot Spread used, is provide you with an insight into where you have been, what's happening in your present life and how that impacts your future. It can help you see some of the possibilities or challenges if you stay on your current path. If you don't like your current path with those future possibilities or challenges, you can change your path and create a new direction.
Where you are now in your present life is just a chapter in your book of life - you are the author. You get to complete your book as you want.
How much are the Tarot Readings?
I am a very detailed Tarot reader. I spend an hour before a reading, preparing a sacred space and calling in the appropriate spirits, guides, angels and ancestors. Most of my Zoom readings are about 1.5 hours and then I send the person a detailed summary with images of their reading and what each card meant (Examples are in the images below).
This is drastically different than most Tarot readers and especially the ones who are at events. The estimated value of my readings are $100.
In leu of payment to me, I request those receiving a reading, donate to a charity of their choice. To make a reading credible and valuable, there must be an exchange of monetary value.
My clients have told me through my readings and reviews That the readings are bang-on accurate, extremely helpful and are valuable to them. For me, reading Tarot cards is my way of helping people and giving back. Lots of people have helped me in my life, and so it is rewarding to be of service to others ... and non-profit organizations benefit.
I don't ask how much but I do ask to what charity as that warms my heart to hear charities are benefiting from my readings. Your donation also reinforces why it is important for me to do what I do and to be able to share the love. I thank all those I have read for. Some of them have donated to:
- Homeless shelters
- Food banks
- Lots of dog rescues and airport fees for dogs coming from Mexico
- Cat rescues
- Save The Turtles
- Wolf dog sanctuaries
- Youth Support
Hearing about these donations just warms my heart!

Why Lynda for your reading?
I'm from the corporate world. My day job, for the past 30 years, is being an entrepreneur offering Brand Marketing Strategy for businesses but I strongly believe that people need outside interests.
Tarot, travelling the world and riding a bicycle are also my interests (as well as enjoying a glass of Rosé wine and buying shoes).
My company is called WOW Communications & Training Corp and I have also incorporated my Tarot into my business with a Business Plan reading, a Decision-making reading and an Entrepreneur reading.
I am sincerely looking to help people navigate through life, find possibilities and optimism. I am an authentic (See my Tarot Code of Ethics) and will tell you all that the cards say. I won't pick what I think you want to hear. I have completed two intensive Master-Mind courses on becoming a certified Tarot Card.
Tarot readings differ from reader to reader. Tarot Cards are different from Oracle Cards in that Tarot has 78 cards with fixed meanings. Oracle Cards vary in meaning based on the author of the deck. Some Tarot readers use only their intuition when reading Tarot Cards. Intuition is essential in being the conduit between the reader and the spiritual world. I use my intuition but I stay true to the traditional meanings of the cards which originated in the 1400s. I do not change any of the card's meanings. If those traditional meanings are not accessed in detail during a reading, then I personally feel the reading may lean too much toward the Tarot reader's intuition and the person receiving the reading may miss hearing some key messages.
Tarot readings can be very powerful and useful in helping people maneuver through life. I encourage you to do your homework when seeking out a Tarot Card reader to ensure their process and presentation style matches what you are seeking.
