Welcome to my e-cave
Once mature, a person prefers substance to appearance, fruit to flowers" Lao Tzo

My name is Paul and I welcome you to my e-cave, where I am known as The Guiding Hermit.
From my humble home, I provide Tarot and Oracle readings that illuminate the sacred journey that is your life. My readings come from my inner Light and are approached holistically, meaning these are readings for the Mind, Body, Soul (emotions) and they touch the inner Spirit.
My readings illuminate the path beneath your feet. They shed light to new options and provide insights; doors open within that allow you to see and discover new ways of thinking and learning. You are the navigator of your life. My purpose is to provide the light for your map. This is my reason for existence.

Please note: I do-not attach any dogma to my readings. Instead, I bring insight to the deeper truth that lies within you. I am here to help.
I provide specialized Tarot Readings given from a place of Light with Love. These readings, however accurate, are not intended to replace the work of medical or mental health professionals. Therefore please consider the reading for entertainment purposes only.
To view samples of my work, please visit my blog.
Due to popular demand, I now offer readings via e-mail, direct phone and through chat. Feel free to contact me for more information. the_guiding_hermit@live.com

READINGS
There are two principle types of readings that I offer: those designed to look at a specific question and those intended for general reading.
Specific Readings include:
- Relationship readings (5 card)
- Career readings (5 card + 3 card, special rate of $20.00)
- The Traditional Celtic Cross (10 cards)
General Readings provide an overall glimpse in many aspects of your life. Think of it as a personal "get in-tune with yourself" session.
General Readings include:
- Where am I right now? (5 card)
- Your Life Path (5 card)
- How can I help others? (5 card)
- What's coming in my Life, what's going out of my Life (10 Card)
- The Tree of Life (15 cards)
Furthermore, I also provide thematic readings for any length of time: 1 day, a week, a month, a year.

Pricing
In all honesty, you don't need a 25 card reading. The most common readings I do involves 3 to 5 cards.
I set a cap of 15 cards (The Coming in and Going Out reading) with a perfectly understandable single card minimum reading.
Prices are:
A single card reading is $20.00
A three card reading is $30.00
A five card reading (the most practical and ideal number of cards) is $40.00
An Annual Reading (12 months, one card per month) is $40.00
A Card a Week for a month reading is $35.00 (You will receive a minimum of four cards)
A Celtic Cross (10 cards) is $60.00
A Tree of Life reading (10 cards) is $60.00
A Coming in and Going Out reading (15 cards) is $60.00
And don't forget my weekly special!
There are no hidden charges. You are not charged for the creation of custom spreads. I will never push you to do a bigger spread. If we find you need additional cards in a reading, I give them to you at no additional charge. I am here to Guide, not to gouge. Conversely, I need to make a living and therefore, I do charge for my talent. This is called the Six of Disks in action!
Please understand that I work from my e-cave and will provide an electronic copy of your reading. I will charge you for postage if you need a hard copy of your reading. Otherwise, your reading is sent to you as an Adobe .pdf file. The reading contains images of your card and a card by card analysis and goes into detail on how that card is positioned within your reading. You certainly will not receive a one sentence fortune cookie reading from the Hermit!
Ordering is simple. When placing you order, please provide the following:
1. Your Name
2. Birth Month or your Astrological sign. If ordering a 12 month reading, I will need to know the starting month of the reading.
3. Go through the check out process.
4. During check-out, inform me of the reading that you wish. If you are uncertain about anything, please feel free to write before placing your order. Together, we can determine your needs.
5. I will be in communication with you once your order has been processed. All that follows is to wait for your reading. My turn around time is quick--usually within one day.
Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at:

My cards are my inspiration and are the conduits of my Guides. My cards bring me clarity in all walks of my life. As I mediate on them every day, the cards show me how I must conduct myself in my readings.
I must conduct myself in a professional manner. I never show disrespect towards my clients, myself or the cards.
I give my clients my full attention and I never bring my personal life into the reading or allow it to affect how I relate to my client’s needs.
I follow the thoughts of the Universe and I trust in the wisdom of things far greater than us.
I do place a monetary value on my readings. However, I will not turn anyone away who is in need and who has an inability to pay. My readings will always reflect the best that I have to offer regardless of any monetary exchange.
I am not an authority on all things. I will never give professional advice in areas that I am not qualified for (legal, medical, financial, etc.) I will always advise clients seek professional advice when and where it is required.
I will always show integrity in my readings. I respect the rights of others. I will never do third-party readings without the permission of those involved.
I will constantly strive to improve the quality of my readings. I will continue in my studies and will always be open to the wisdom of the Spirits, my Guides, my mentors and peers.
I will strive to relay the message of the Tarot and Oracle to clients in a way that is understandable and answers their questions. I will always end readings with an uplifting spirit.
I will never allow a reading to end with a negative or defeatist attitude.
