Let me reintroduce myself – with a newly re-updated Meet Your Reader page on the newly redecorated website …

Hi! I’m Sage.

I’m also a Tarot reader and the writer / creator of Sage Sips blog on TaoCraftTarot.com

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

I didn’t originally start out to be a Tarot reader (who does?) At first I did readings for friends (why PAY for it when you can DIY it?) A close friend suggested I go online with my readings (forever grateful!) I offered professional psychic Tarot readings through Keen, Advice Trader and AllExperts under my old internet handle, Baihu. After doing hundreds of online readings (I stopped counting at 400, and that was 20 years ago) I opened my own Tarot practice with ModernOracleTarot.com, the Tarotbytes blog and the now-defunct Quirk & Flotsam shop on Etsy. It was all good, but had become a hodge-podge of branding and inconsistent messaging over the years. In 2018 I leveled it all and re-branded everything as TaoCraft Tarot.

The TaoCraft name is drawn from my love of Taoist philosophy. My work will always be guided by the principles of simplicity, authenticity, and kindness. The name is also a nod to modern eclectic solitary secular witchcraft along with my love of making & crafting things, especially knitting.

Sage is a pen name, which protects both of our privacy. Christian nationalism and evangelical bigotry are a reality here in the US. I want this to be a safe space for my fellow atheists and the lgbtquia+ community that is so important to me. I want my readings and online presence to feel warm and welcoming to anyone interested in Tarot. My privacy policy and use of a stage/pen name is a part of that.

The herb sage has a comforting, familiar scent and flavor that most of us know from home cooking and holiday turkeys.

In aromatherapy, Sage incense and smudge sticks can clear negative energy, calm anxiety and promote a feeling of general well being.

Most of all, the word sage means something or someone who is wise. The word sage speaks to all of the wisdom that Tarot can bring to our lives.

Safety, comfort, calmness, wisdom and a feeling that things are going to be alright are all qualities that I hope you’ll experience if we do a Tarot reading together. All of these are qualities I hope you’ll experience when you read the blog or listen to the podcast.

I’m TaoCraft Tarot on all the usual socials and Sage Sips blog on Substack. Party readings are closed – my focus is on you, the individual.
