Tarot by Hilary -

I’m Hilary Parry Haggerty, and I’m a tarot reader. I believe in interactivity, tough love, and a no-nonsense approach. I do tell it like it is. I am simply the girl next door... that reads tarot.

You wouldn’t make a major decision in your life without consulting a few of your trusted friends for advice, would you? Probably not. Sometimes you need someone with more objectivity. I offer that objectivity, and then some, with my tarot readings.

I am based out of Westchester County, New York. In-person readings have been suspended in light of the global pandemic, but previous to that in-person readings were located in the Westchester area and the tri-state area of New York. For in-person readings, I do not have a home office (yes, I make housecalls!) and readings are by appointment only. If you are not in the area, readings are also available through phone, Skype, and e-mail. I serve clients in Australia and Riyadh as well as in the United States and Canada. Isn't technology wonderful?

I read tarot like I write. And where I write about tarot is at my tarot blog.

Synopsis: The future can be changed. The trick is you have to see it first.

When Liv Hall and her friends find boxes of letters hidden in her grandfather’s attic, they discover hundreds of psychic predictions addressed to the Premonitions Bureau, a bureau to investigate psychic abilities that mysteriously closed in 1993. As the group reads decades-old premonitions, they stumble on letters from powerful psychics who mailed in their predictions and then disappeared.

A post online about the found predictions alerts a black ops group in charge of the military’s paranormal research, who will do anything to get their hands on the letters and the psychics who wrote them. Liv and her friends now know too much, and they’re directly in the crosshairs. To survive, they’re going to have to rely on each other and the unlikely help of psychics who thought they’d left the dangers of the Bureau behind forever.

Set it and forget it

I guess I’ve set up my website well when I haven’t blogged in years and having to catch up on adding at least 40 client testimonials to the website since the end of 2019.

This is not to say that I haven’t been working incredibly hard at and in my business (clearly the testimonials come from somewhere!), but while blogging used to be a key fixture of it, it’s been placed into the back burner lately in favor of client care and livestreaming weekly on YouTube and Facebook. It’s nice to be able to not exactly coast on my laurels, but have a healthy treasure trove of articles and videos to fall back on when I’m asked a FAQ.

When I first created this website you’re feasting your eyes on now back in 2011, it was a lot of work. I had help in the form of a business mentor, Theresa Reed (The Tarot Lady) that was a proponent of “learn to do everything yourself first” before hiring help. This included me taking both business courses and website creation courses, such as Marie Forleo’s B-School and Laura Roeder’s WordPress Made Easy (this is so long ago that I don’t even remember if that was the exact name of the course).

TBH? I kinda hated all of the minutia, the tediousness of crafting marketing jargon, of writing out all of the pages I wanted in my website in a Word document, of planning behind the scenes, of building tension with the eventual “big reveal” of my site in September of 2011.

Now, over a decade later, I realize in the “setting and forgetting” how invaluable it all was to set me up for the success I have now, the luxury of checking back in and having so many testimonials to post… knowing that my website is doing exactly what we set out to do all those years ago: be a 24/7 business card/love letter to my joy of reading tarot for others, and additional modalities I’ve added like tapping.

If you’ve been here from the beginning, thanks for being an OG. And if you’re new to my world and my work, then welcome! You’re in good company here.

Blessings,

Waiting on the sidelines: why observing over doing is keeping you stuck

Everyone’s familiar with that feeling: Frozen. Stuck. Uncertain. Deer in headlights “I don’t want to make the wrong move so I won’t make any move at all.”

Thing is, choosing not to decide is still a choice. At least, that’s what the band Rush says in their song “Free Will”. I tend to agree.

I used to think about choice in a few different ways:

If you don’t like where you’re at, choose something different.
Most choices are not permanent, so it’s not a big deal if you “choose wrong”. Choose again, try something different.
In every moment, there is always a choice: a choice to continue along the path given, a choice to change, and a choice to remain in-between: not the path given, but not choosing a new one, either.
