About Truth Teller Tarot

A Creative Tarot Insights Publication

Welcome to Truth Teller Tarot.

This space is for anyone who’s fed up with tarot being watered down into endless positivity, vague affirmations, and spiritual performances.

I believe tarot is at its best when it lays down the real truth. Not the comfy truth, the trendy truth, but the genuine truth.

The kind that shakes up what you think, uncovers blind spots, and pushes us to face the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and why we act the way we do.

Tarot isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about seeing reality more clearly, and that’s what you’ll find here.

What Makes This Publication Different?

Most tarot stuff out there leans into predictions, comfort, or making tough cards feel less scary. I take a different route. By diving into tarot archetypes, I explore:

  • Survival and identity

  • Attachment and avoidance

  • Power and responsibility

  • Healing culture and toxic positivity

  • Freedom of thought and independent thinking

  • The tricky areas most people prefer to overlook

You’ll read essays that challenge the usual tarot takes, question popular spiritual ideas, and dig into what the cards might show us when we stop looking for comfort in them.

The Cards I Work Through

If I had to describe my approach through tarot archetypes, three cards stand out.

The Magician

The Magician represents creation. Not just creating tarot content, but creating ideas, conversations, and perspectives that encourage people to think differently.

The Hierophant Reversed

This card represents questioning authority. Not for the sake of rebellion, but for the sake of truth. I believe wisdom can come from personal experience, reflection, and critical thinking—not just from established teachers or accepted spiritual doctrines.

The Queen of Swords

This is the archetype I relate to most strongly. That is clear, direct, and unapologetic. The Queen of Swords values honesty over comfort and clarity over approval. That energy runs through everything I write.

Why Penguins?

You might spot some penguins scattered throughout this publication. They’ve always felt like my spirit animal. To me, penguins symbolize resilience, adaptability, determination, innovation, and community. They remind me that getting by often means sticking it out, being creative, and pushing through tough times. Those ideas show up in my writing because they’ve been part of my own journey.

Subscriber Benefits

Truth Teller Tarot will always offer free content, but paid subscribers help support the publication and gain access to additional perks.

Paid Subscribers ($7/month or $70/year)

You’ll receive:

  • A short personalized video tarot reading

  • Access to email support and tarot mentoring

  • The opportunity to ask questions about tarot, interpretation, symbolism, and creative applications of the cards

  • Exclusive downloads and subscriber-only resources

  • Occasional paywalled essays that are even more direct, personal, and unfiltered than the public posts

Founding Members

Founding members receive everything above, plus:

  • One hour per month of one-to-one tarot tutoring or coaching

  • Personalized guidance based on your goals and interests

  • Support whether you’re learning tarot as a beginner or looking to deepen your practice

My approach isn’t about memorizing card meanings. It’s about learning how to think with the cards, question assumptions, develop your own interpretations, and use tarot as a tool for insight, creativity, and self-discovery. If that resonates with you, I’d love to have you here.

However, to sum up, what can you expect? Honesty. Nuance. Disagreement. You’ll find essays that take a fresh look at tarot wisdom and challenge typical ways of thinking. Most importantly, expect tarot that reflects real life—because life is messy, filled with contradictions, and often hangs out in the gray area. And that’s where the most engaging conversations take place. Welcome aboard!
