Tarot Beginners

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.

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

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.

Will You Give Me a Reading? A conversation with Jenna Matlin

I keep on forgetting to blog. Because why would I, when I technically vlog every week during my livestream?

It’s hard to keep everything I’m doing up to date. First, there’s my book which comes out 11/22/22 (talk about divine timing!). Then there’s my podcasts, plural: Cardslingers Coast to Coast and the Tarot by Hilary podcast.

To add to my plate, I’m also participating in National Novel Writing Month, which usually finds me sequestered, isolated, and weird. You’d be too if you wrote 50,000 words in a month.

But I digress. We had a really fun and information episode of the livestream last week, and I wanted to let you know about it.

Next week I’ll be on Jenna’s socials talking about MY book, so you’ll definitely want to check that out.

Blessings,

Making the best of it

Oh hi, and greetings on this Saturday!

Guess what?

Mr. Tarot by Hilary tested positive for the you-know-what. I feel like it was only a matter of time, even though we’ve been careful.

So we’re both in lockdown mode for a little while. I tested negative and am feeling fine, but stuck in the house. #stopthespread

I figured why not offer you a discount and get some readings done while I’m cooped up and also dealing with gestures to everything such as the overturning of Roe V. Wade?

Obviously all readings will be done over Zoom, phone, or skype – otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose of the reason for discounting, yah?

See below to see discounted offers – and yes, I’m extending this discount to the new “I don’t know what I need!” session and tapping sessions. You lucky ducks.

Book your appointment at http://tarotbyhilary.com – apply the discount code INDOORS at checkout for 11% off select options. Discount expires on June 30th – so book your session now, even for a future date!

Blessings,

P.S.—I’m rereading my childhood book series Anne of Green Gables (self-soothing, anyone?). I’m on Book 5, Anne’s House of Dreams. What are you reading?
