Tarot Readings with Nicole
ABOUT NICOLE

As a natural-born psychic, I have received messages from Spirit that have inspired me to explore natural witchcraft. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by Native American Indigenous shamanism and lifestyle, leading me to study it extensively. My interests also encompass a variety of spiritual practices, including Wicca, witchcraft, paganism, Pan-Hellenic traditions, Hinduism, Celtic practices, Egyptian beliefs, Shinto, Yoruba, and other spiritualities from around the world. In essence, I consider myself an average kitchen witch!
I learned to read cards within a small circle of friends interested in the occult. I began by doing readings for friends and coworkers, which expanded to private parties, Halloween festivals, Renaissance fairs, and online readings for over twenty-five years.
My experience has cultivated a passion for teaching others how to read tarot for themselves and others, as the cards offer more than mere divination. My readings help identify blocks, blindspots, and opportunities.
My background includes being a Reiki master in the Diane Stein lineage. We believed it was more important to share the modality than to charge high prices, as everyone deserves access to healing.
I co-founded San Diego Circle, an open, full moon ritual for witches of all practices. We also regularly participated in San Diegan Pagan Pride activities. We formed Sacred Hips, a belly dancing troupe that performed ritualized belly dance in our community and traveled to Pantheacon to showcase our performances.
I am a graduate of the Temple Priestess Training program, where I studied under Mellissa Seaman and Tashiawna Vause and became an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church.
In addition to tarot, I have officiated weddings and handfastings, held space during births and transitions, and facilitated shamanic healing sessions.
Originally from San Diego, I have lived in various places, including the redwoods of Northern California. There, I restored salmon habitats and responded to earthquakes and fires. I also lived near an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
I studied tropical permaculture and purchasing in Hawaii, enjoyed weekly ecstatic dance workshops, and worked seasonally in Alaska and the health food stores in Puna.
I currently reside in beautiful Central New York, where I have been the chef and entrepreneur of a taco food truck, a brick-and-mortar Mexican restaurant, a craft service provider for the local film industry, and a caterer. I live with my husband, two dogs (Chuck and Willow), cat Bettie, several fish, and (never!) too many houseplants! In my free time, I am pursuing a degree in psychology, restoring my 175-year-old colonial home, yoga, and gardening.
