 About
us, at Madame Tarot |
 My
name is Marissa Newman and I have been a student of the Tarot for over
a decade. This site is a direct descendent of my “Learning to Read Tarot
Cards” podcast found on I-Tunes. I realized while preparing for my podcasts
that I was holding back so much information on each card that I needed
to find an outlet to share it with others and with that Madame-Tarot.info
was born.
About 13 years ago my husband, 4 children
and I were on a day trip to the ocean near our home in Northern California.
We stopped and visited a little store along the beach. It was in this store
that I purchased my first Tarot deck.
I became “obsessed” with reading the
cards. I loved the artwork and the symbols and learning the meanings of
the cards. I found that the cards helped me to discover issues that I was
avoiding in my life. It showed me fears that I wasn't acknowledging so
I could move past problems and better myself and my relationships.
Over the years I have purchased 29 Tarot
decks. My favorite decks are Druid Craft Tarot, The Gilded Tarot, Hanson
Roberts, Spiral Tarot, The Gendron Tarot and The Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg.
I am drawn to these decks because they are rich in design and color.
I have found that reading the Tarot
cards came naturally to me because I was born with a “photographic memory.
As you study the cards and learn the meanings of each one of them upright
and reverse you will find out why this came in handy for me.
I am a member of the [American
Tarot Association ], off site link,
ATA, and subscribe to their code of ethics as
well as my own. I believe anyone can learn to read the tarot cards. It
takes a lot of dedication, patience and meditation. Through the years I
have been asked if I am gifted. I don't see being able to read the cards
as a gift. I view it more as a talent. A talent that I can be taught to
others. Lessons
