OPHIDIAN Tarot: Tarot reAding Services
by JAMEELA F. DALLIS, PhD
OPHIDIAN Tarot //
Tarot is the tool.
Your path is the vessel.
You are the sculptor.
My guidance and expertise help you decipher the messages the tarot cards offer and understand the most effective ways to move forward with the knowledge and insight you receive.
Tarot readings for individuals, couples, Coworkers, groups, and events.
Tarot is a mirror that reflects our present and provides insight into our past. It is a tool that provides direction rather than revealing a future to which we are bound because we have free will. Encounters with tarot can help us see ourselves more fully, help prepare us for what's ahead, and help us make more beneficial future choices.

I've helped clients gain perspective on relationships and careers, work through creative blocks, consider the rewards and challenges of beginning a new path, and so much more.
I've also helped couples, business partners, and groups of people working on creative projects understand their paths and processes together while valuing each individual's background and unique perspective.
I have been studying and reading tarot for more than 22 years and have read for hundreds and hundreds of people.
My interpretive style is intuitive and experiential, poetic yet direct. I look forward to reading for you.

What's in a name? ophidian tarot
Ophidian denotes serpents. In many cultures and symbol systems, serpents symbolize transformation, change, creativity, and renewal. Ophidian is an apt moniker for the way I practice tarot. Tarot is a tool for reflection and transformation.
