Val – Tarot Translator

Val became interested in the art of Cartomancy around the age of 14 when her aunt taught her how to read with a regular playing deck. Thirteen years later, she discovered Tarot classes were available at a local metaphysical shop in the town she was living in at that time and immediately enrolled for the course’s extensive five month study. “I had tried to learn Tarot on my own when I was 15,” Val says, “but found it too overwhelming and lost interest. That course I found at The Alhambra Institute in Dearborn, MI, was like a gift from the Universe. Alexia was an incredible teacher – I will never forget her.” With the discovery of online Tarot communities in 2000, Val’s love of Tarot quickly blossomed into passion as she learned more about its rich history and endless avenues of Tarot exploration. It’s an adventure she expects to embark upon for the rest of her life.
