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 are 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, Zoom, 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.

I wrote a book in 2022 called How to Read Tarot. You probably can't find it anymore. That's okay. I'm working on another one.

Any lingering questions? The best way to reach me is via e-mail.

Ask a Tarot Reader – how do I learn tarot?

You get asked a lot of questions when you’ve been reading tarot professionally for twenty years. Most of the time, they’re the same questions, which leads to Frequently Asked Questions, which leads to a realization of hey, I’ve already answered this, so lemme go ahead and copy/paste that answer. And sometimes you get asked a question so often that the answer changes and evolves as you change and evolve.

The following question is the latter.

Hello! My name is ______, I am 17 years old, and I have been wanting to learn how to use and read tarot cards. I am super familiar with angel cards, and I have a few decks of my own… I’ve evolved a little just from my own intuition and getting a feel for what the cards mean. I’ve been really interested in tarot, I just don’t know where to start. I know they aren’t fortune telling cards, but rather alter alternative points of views, but what else do they offer? The tarot cards are also based off of your own current energy, but are they able to read into other peoples’?

Honestly, great questions (I doubt I was so in tune and intelligent at 17, kudos to you)! So, let’s rapid fire some answers to these specific questions, and then I’ll go into some more depth and offer some resources, yah?

Not to be a boundary b*tch, but….

I’m a big fan of signs. Divine timing, messages coming in threes to make us sit up and pay attention, that sort of thing.

So when I had a bit of a “single white female” type of client recently, I had to hit the ban button.

I didn’t do it immediately. Fortunately I had my fellow co-hosts of Cardslingers Coast to Coast Melissa and Jaymi there to talk the situation over with (don’t worry, there’s an episode coming up about it too). Having a community is invaluable. Especially when you’re in a weird profession like tarot reading.

So, there was that. And then there was this recent Hit List from Theresa Reed entitled “Your permission slip.” I didn’t think I needed a permission slip anymore. And yet in that situation, I kinda did.

I got to work shoring up my space, my boundaries, my policies. So here’s a reminder of what they are, just as much for me as it is for you.

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.
