First of all, if you are hosting a Halloween costume party, I will be happy to come in costume. In fact, I would love to come in costume. If you let me know what your party theme is in advance, I will try to dress the part.
I will bring my cards and other props, which usually include crystal balls, table spreads, candles, and various witchy trappings. You will need to provide me with a relatively quiet space (private or semi-private is preferred as people usually ask personal questions), a table and two chairs. I’m not picky. I have used a TV tray and 2 folding chairs before. You’re setting the stage as you see fit. If you want to create a gypsy fortune-teller or graveyard atmosphere, feel free. Many times I’m at the kitchen table or outside on a picnic table around a bonfire.
Let your folks know how long I will be there, then let them come one at a time for readings. I will do a basic 10-card spread for each person. The readings will usually last about 15-30 minutes. If you have lots and lots of guests, I can give 3-card readings. If you take a look at this blog, you will get an idea what the readings can entail. They can get really serious or be all in good fun. It all depends on where your friends take them. I can tell you that 9 times out of 10, people ask serious questions. That’s why I want to provide an atmosphere of fun and mystery, but I don’t want to demean the process in any way.
I am available to spend up to three hours at each party. If you’ve only invited five people, then I will leave when they have all received readings. If you’ve invited 100 people, I will read for three hours unless we have made prior arrangements. After that, my coach turns into a pumpkin and I must fly away home. And truly, much longer and your friends are generally sloshed, and nothing good ever comes from reading for drunk people.
I usually bring water, but it would be nice if you peeked in once or twice between readings to see if there’s anything I need. Doing many readings at once is demanding. Having a snack or drink through the process helps a lot. Usually people stream in the whole time I’m there and I don’t get a chance to pop over to the refreshment table. The occasional check-in is very much appreciated.
I prefer payment in advance. If you haven’t paid in advance, I expect payment during setup. If I wait until three hours in, you’re usually very busy with guests and sometimes forget that I need payment. That’s understandable, so let’s do it beforehand. It is best if I come at the beginning of the party. See the drunken friends comment above.
I believe in the power of tarot. It is a valuable tool for self-discovery. However, I will never tell you that you have a curse that requires more paid readings. I will never offer to work spells to remove said curses. I won’t try to scare you or coerce you into getting more readings. I will never encourage you to grow dependent on tarot readings. In fact, when I feel clients are leaning too heavily on tarot advice instead of making their own decisions, I immediately begin to “wean” them. Tarot should never take the place of legal, medical, or financial professional advice, however it can work in tandem with all of these.
That’s about it. If you have further questions, please ask. I will do my very best to provide great entertainment at your party! Believe me, people love to get readings and they will remember your party for a long time to come.
