Linda is the creator of Witcherydodah. She is an empath and practising solitary garden witch of nearly 40 years. For many years Linda has and continues to study the Tarot in all its aspects, being particularly drawn to the Tarots’ astrological and natural elemental magic influences. Linda reads intuitively. She is fascinated by the story of the Tarot Journey and its relevance to our everyday lives. She celebrates the wonder and purpose of the Tarot especially for those coming in truth to consult the Tarot for guidance, direction and empowerment. In doing so, each querent accepts responsibility for their own life’s journey and choices as they strive to be the best and truest version of themselves.
In Linda’s previous career practising and teaching law, she has gained a wealth of experience and insight into the various characters of human nature which assists her greatly in her Readings. However, her passion and life’s true calling has and always will be that of witch, for which she feels blessed and thankful.
A bespoke reading is a much more personal and beneficial experience for all involved.
Many different spreads are available to use for readings, such as the 3 card Past, Present and Future Spread, Celtic Cross Spread, Horseshoe Spread , Romany Spread, Year Ahead Spread and Astrological Spread .
Typically in these general spreads, one card presents one question about different aspects such as past, present, future, challenges, strengths, weaknesses, career, love, outcomes to mention a few.
Whilst these types of spreads have a place and can be useful, they can be often vague or lacking in meaning to the querent, which can make it a frustrating experience for both Querent and Reader. This is often because the querent may have so many issues going on in their mind at the time of the reading relating to any one of the card questions or they are not being open about the real reason for wanting a reading.
So that you can get the best insights and meaningful interpretations from the reading it is important to focus on the specific issues and your reasons for wanting a reading AND be open and honest about these from the start with the Reader. From experience, the cards tend to show the ‘true’ often deep issue!
Please know you are in a safe non-judgmental place, so just be honest with the Reader .
There are many divination tools one can use to help the querent access guidance or clarity to make decisions in their lives and situations they face. Everything from Runes, Palm Readings, Tasseography (Reading tea leaves), pyromancy (fire reading) ,dowsing, astrology, numerology to name a few. But for me the Tarot is unique in that it encompasses every human archetype we can be or aspire to be, and all emotions and relationships we encounter as we travel through the Fool’s Journey of life from birth to death. There is no hiding with the Tarot as it really does delve into the subconscious to get to the root of your query or the issue. It is a true mirror of your conscious and subconscious mind; glamour and glory but also warts and all ! The cards show this to the Reader through their imagery and meanings associated with those images and characters. The Reader can then suggest ways to avoid repeating patterns of behaviour that are causing delays or blockages or to take a different course of action which could avoid a potential unwelcome outcome.
In consulting the Tarot, you are very much taking responsibility of yourself and your actions for your life choices.
We create our own realities through how we think, feel and act and how we view our life as positive or negative, and whether that needs to change.
Everyone has their own free will and only we can change ourselves but in doing so, the world around us can change because it could react to us in a different way!
The cards will suggest options you can decide to act upon or what you can let go of for your higher good so you can move forward on your journey.
Tarot can be a fantastic and reliable self-development and self-empowerment tool helping us to step into greater fulfilment and embrace and manifest our full potential.
The Tarot and the Tarot Reader cannot or will not :
1. allow you to interfere with anyone else’s free will. So it will not stop your partner leaving if they want to or make someone love you who does not
2. tell you what to do or force you to make any decisions when highlighting possible issues Remember, only YOU are in control of your choices and decisions about anything within and without of the Reading
3. make you take advice or help yourself if you don’t wish to take advice or help yourself
4. make you stop taking any medications of medical advice. Again, choices of your actions or inactions post reading are YOUR choices and actions or inactions
5. give you an absolute outcome as everything is open to interpretation and change.
1. I am a Tarot reader. This does not mean I am suggesting I am a psychic, a medium or telepath.
2. You have freely and willingly contacted me for a reading.
3. Your Tarot Reading is confidential and I will not share it with a third party unless I believe the welfare or life of you or another is at risk
4. Tarot Reading does not predict the exact future but rather provides a possible and probable outcome of events which is influenced by the mindset and behaviour of you the querent and those related to the issue in the reading
5. A Tarot Reading is not absolute and is subject to interpretation. Whist I can offer guidance, opinion and advice it is YOUR free will to make any decisions about your present and future and as such any decisions you make as a result of the Tarot Reading are your sole responsibility not mine the Reader’s.
6. I do not give Medical, Legal, Business, Investment nor Financial or any other advice that I am not professionally qualified to do so. Should you require that then you need to seek that advice elsewhere with the appropriate professional
7. I do not give readings to persons under the age of 18.
8. I will not conduct a reading if the querent is or appears to me to be intoxicated at the appointment
9. My Readings are constructive and intended to inform and empower the querent, and not to be destructive or negative.
10. I will read intuitively and I will be honest even if that means it may not be what you may wish to hear.
11. So that you can get the best insights and meaningful interpretations from the reading I will ask questions to help me better interpret the cards messages. This is also why it is so important to be honest about the issue and reason for your consultation.
12. I will be sensitive to your feelings and it is ok if you get upset. You are in a safe space and you will not be judged.
13. I do not make any predictions anyway and certainly not about current affairs, politics, gaming, gambling or betting.
14. I do not perform spiritual cleansing nor remove curses at the Reading
15. You are not permitted to digitally or otherwise record the reading. Readings on Zoom will be recorded and sent to you electronically after the reading
16. I reserve the right to refuse without any reason given any applicant for a reading or to discontinue a reading at any point should I wish to do so or feel it is necessary to do so. Please see under Cancellations for terms concerning refunds for Readings that do not proceed.
Prior to the Reading, the Reader will review the pre-appointment questionnaire you have submitted to enable her to consider and prepare a bespoke spread to read the cards from.
This is why it is so important to be truthful about your query when completing the questionnaire as the Reader does not use standard spreads.
The Reading will be conducted on Zoom and a meeting ID will be emailed to the querent prior to the appointment
At the meeting the Reader will go through the questions she has prepared for the spread to check she has understood your query and that you are satisfied with the bespoke spread that has been prepared.
There will be between 5-7 questions on the issue and up to two questions can be reworded if the querent wishes.
Questions regarding different issues are only to be discussed at the discretion of the Reader and she can refuse to do so.
The Reader will prepare and settle the space and start to shuffle her cards until the querent requests she stop.
The cards are selected from the top of the pack by the Reader and placed in position( one card for each of the questions in the spread) for her to review and consider and then the Reading will start.
The reading will not exceed 60 minutes.
Within that time and if the querent has stated in the pre-appointment questionnaire for further cards to be pulled) a further 2-3 cards may be drawn either from the tarot pack or a chosen oracle pack if further clarification in the reading is required.
As the Reading is conducted via Zoom a recording can be made and emailed to the querent within 2 working days of the Reading.
Payment is made when booking the appointment . If payment is not made 4 working days prior to the appointment the appointment cannot take place.
What if I have not submitted my pre-appointment questionnaire 2 working days prior to my appointment?
Due to the bespoke nature of the spread having to be prepared for the reading , the appointment cannot go ahead if the appointment questionnaire hasn’t been received and so a new appointment will need to be made if the querent still requires a bespoke reading and a new questionnaire submitted at that time/within 2 working days prior to the rescheduled appointment.
We understand things change and unexpected situations arise so if your circumstances change and you cannot make the scheduled appointment then you can reschedule to make a new appointment at no extra cost (link[here])
If you wish to cancel your appointment you need to contact us ( link [here] to cancel contact form) to cancel 2 workings days prior to the appointment to receive a full refund.
Cancellations 24 hours before the appointment only receive 50% refund and cancellations or non attendances within 24 hours of the appointment will not be entitled to any refund
Should the Reader be unable to attend the appointment for any reason then you will be notified as soon as possible by email. Unfortunately, this may be within 12 hours of the appointment if due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness. You will be entitled to book a new appointment OR you the querent is entitled to a full refund.
Tarot Reading is subject to interpretation and should not be taken as absolute. Tarot Readers are never 100% accurate.

IT IS ONLY WITH THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE ABOVE THAT THE READING WILL TAKE PLACE
