Tarot Readings, Workshops & Events in Madison, Wisconsin

My tarot readings are informed by a modern approach that treats the cards as a tool for self-reflection. I tend toward the practical over the mystical, the grounded over what the stars are saying. Tarot works, I believe, because the 78 cards hold centuries of wisdom about the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of being human. Each card is a mirror—78 reflections of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we might be headed.
Through this approach, I can provide a roadmap toward self-actualization. A reading can offer fresh perspective on your current situation and highlight what might be possible. No certain future outcomes are given, as the power and possibilities for your journey always lie within you.
I focus on events and parties because the connection and unpredictability of these gatherings spark a sense of openness and play. It’s where I thrive—and where I find those I read for thrive too. Tarot readings at parties, receptions, and other celebrations can serve as powerful icebreakers, moments of connection, and joyful experiences that anchor your event in guests’ memories.
And while I may be one of the most practical tarot readers you’ll ever meet, I do wear big, dangling hand-made earrings—just to throw people off the scent.

On October 2nd, I led a cozy two-hour Intro to Tarot workshop at Lake City Books—an evening of intuition, laughter, and connection in one of the city’s most welcoming spaces. The response was so warm that we’re already planning another in early 2026. Stay tuned for details and come join the magic next time!
I am an open-minded skeptic who asked Sara for a reading on finding my way into my new life as an artist. I found Sarah’s tarot reading to be intuitive, insightful, and thought-provoking. It’s given me some wonderful ideas to roll around in my head and heart while I embrace my new life. Highly recommend!
