Hi! I’m Sage.

I’m the author of Sage Sips blog, PeaceTarot and TaoCraft Portfolio

I’ve been reading Tarot cards since around 1992 which adds up to 30+ years of experience with Tarot readings and intuition development (!)

I didn’t originally start out to be a professional Tarot reader (who does?) At first I did readings for friends (why PAY for it when you can do it yourself?) A close friend suggested I go online with my readings (forever grateful!) I’ve given professional psychic Tarot readings through Keen, Advice Trader and AllExperts. After doing literally hundreds of online readings (I stopped counting at 400) I opened my own Tarot practice with ModernOracleTarot.com, the Tarotbytes blog and the now-defunct Quirk & Flotsam shop on Etsy. In 2018 I re-branded everything as TaoCraft Tarot featuring the Sage Sips blog. In 2025, life happened, and my Tarot work circled back to the beginning as a hobby. The blog continues, but now it has a LOT of real world experience and expertise behind it.

The TaoCraft name is drawn from my love of Taoist philosophy. My work will always be guided by the Taoist principles of simplicity and kindness. The name is also a nod to magical craft and and my other favorite hobby, knitting.

My pen name, Sage, is inspired by both aromatherapy and the wisdom of Taoism and Tarot.

The herb sage has a comforting, familiar scent and flavor that most of us know from breakfast sausage and holiday turkey. In aromatherapy, Sage incense and essential oil can support a calm, optimistic mood. Most of all, the word sage means something or someone who is wise. Tarot and Taoism both give us very sage advice.

Comfort, calmness, wisdom and a feeling that things are going to be OK are all qualities that I hope you’ll experience when you read the blog or read your personalized Tarot email.

I’m Sage Sips on Substack and Sage.Sips on all of the usual socials. I only really interact with BlueSky, so please drop by and say hello!

Email readings have always been my specialty, and my favorite to do. I like that you can trust the process because email Tarot is pure intuition – there is no way for me to read body language cues or ask leading questions. Cold reading tricks or stage mentalism is impossible in this format.

Email readings and this blog have become a labor of love and not a source of income. If you enjoy what you read here or if you just want a high quality advice style Tarot reading, please support me on ko-fi to get a reading as my thank you gift to you. The proceeds all go toward the cost of creating and web-hosting the blog at a level that does not contain ads.

Thanks for reading. I always appreciate your time and attention along with any likes, follows, shares or kind comments that you can spare. I wish you all well. See you at the next sip!
