I’m Addie.
I am a writer, tarot card reader and ancestral healer living on Tonkawa, Comanche and Lipan Apache land in what is now Central Texas.
During my 13 years as a food writer, I used my weekly newspaper column to explore community, connection and personal growth through the lens of food. Healing my family roots and ancestral wounds became the “why” for my work.
And then I found tarot.
Tarot cards have been used as a form of folk psychology for more than 500 years. With a long history in Europe, particularly among the Romani, who have suffered greatly to carry on the practice, all 78 of the tarot cards have medicine, including the Death card, which is one of my favorites. (And thus the name of my business.)
I now use these cards and the questions they ask as part of my ancestral healing work — which also uses art, music, nature and our real and imagined family trees to get a new perspective on grief, codependency, humility and strength.
This work dramatically transformed my life.
Now I work with people who want to transform their lives, too.
Is that you?
Tarot readings and one-on-one coaching can help all of us make meaning out of these messy, unpredictable lives.
