About Me

Hi, I’m Darcy

I’m the owner and operator of Turn the Cards Tarot in Minneapolis. My curiosity about a humble deck of 78 cards grew into a devotion to sharing what tarot can offer.

After several years of studying and working with the cards, I began Turn the Cards Tarot in 2011.

A reader’s love of stories

Besides working as a professional tarot reader, I’m an avid reader, a blogger and a writer of poetry. I earned a master’s degree in English, with a specialty in American literary studies. My love of reading has given me a deep appreciation of storytelling.

I think of tarot cards as writing prompts: a way to look at a familiar story from another angle, consider a beginning or revisit an ending. Exploring a personal story alongside the images and traditions in a deck can open a thoughtful conversation.

How I approach a reading

I approach each reading as an opportunity to explore perspectives, notice a subplot and consider possible paths. The useful part isn’t simply hearing an interpretation; it’s deciding what, if anything, to carry into ordinary life.

Your future is not written in stone. Tarot can make room for reflection and personal growth without closing the story or taking your choices away.

If a card keeps returning, a few dated notes can help you explore the pattern. The guide to repeated tarot cards offers ways to reflect without forcing one explanation.

My deck shelf

I like having options and rotate between decks, using intuition to choose one for a reading. My collection includes:

• Rider-Waite
• Sun and Moon
• Legacy of the Divine
• Dreaming Way

I prefer to buy new decks, but I also enjoy finding an older deck that has clearly been well used and well loved.
