About Sometime Tarot

I have been practicing tarot since 2005, when a series of chance encounters led me to discover tarot as a medium for personal reflection and healing. For many years I offered readings to close friends and family, and only occasionally to strangers. More recently, I have begun offering readings in new contexts: in supervisions and collaborations with students, at group meetings and retreats, or to help a colleague find a path forward on a piece of writing or project. This has generated a desire to share my practice more widely, both through individual readings and through collective workshops.

In starting up Sometime, I felt a degree of imposter syndrome. Copenhagen has no shortage of gifted readers, clairvoyants, and mediums. What do I offer that is not already out there? Eventually, I realized that this endeavor is, quite simply, a way for me to spend time with tarot.

Sometime Tarot is a space to deepen my practice, dedicate more time to it, and share that practice with a wider community. You can read more about my practice below, book a free tarot consultation, or follow me on instagram where I share reflections and re-usable tarot spreads.

What is it like to get a reading?

Like the life teaming on the underside of a rock in the woods, or the far side of the moon shifting between dark and illumination, new meaning arises when you are available to what is unseen or out of view. In this sense, a tarot reading can be revelatory not because it divines a predetermined truth, but because it helps us recognize possibilities, inheritances, assumptions, and desires we carry with us.

In my tarot my practice, I do not predict futures or provide definitive yes-or-no answers. Rather than telling your "fortune", a reading will foreground ideas about your past and future that you hold in the present. If your question is: 'Should I quit my job?' 'Should I start this project?' or 'Is this new relationship significant?' you are unlikely to get a straight answer, but hopefully you can gain clarity or insight about how you approach answering those questions for yourself.

I also do not work with reversals, in which cards that are drawn upside down are interpreted as warnings or negative signs. Instead, I approach all the cards as opportunities for shadow work in the Jungian sense. Every card contains both supportive and challenging dimensions that may be relevant depending on the position in the tarot spread or reading as a whole.

The power of tarot lies in articulating your question. So before turning to the cards for an answer, we will first explore what sits around and beneath your query, what hopes, concerns, or doubts animate it. From there, I craft a tarot spread tailored to you as querent and guide you in drawing and interpreting the cards.

My approach to tarot

My approach to tarot is informed by my years of training as a researcher of time, cultural imaginaries, and meaning-making. For me, tarot is a way of making sense of the times we find ourselves in, both individually and collectively. I begin from the premise that with tarot and other forms of divination, time itself is a medium. The future does not exist in advance, but tarot is a way to play with time, to shift our realities through how we understand them. In a time of automated misinformation, doom-scrolling, and manufactured inevitabilities, tarot can help us tap into our intuition, strengthen our inner authority, and support critical discernment.

Tarot is also a way to embrace chance and allow our unconscious (or "the universe") to do some of the work in how we orient ourselves in time. Tarot readings can function like dream interpretation. We can see them both through a skeptical lens in which our interpretations of randomness or chance associations reveal projections through which we can peer into our own psychology. But we can also see dreams or our encounters with tarot’s archetypes as gifts, offerings, or messages arriving from sources we do not fully understand.

Whether we flip a coin, draw a card, or consult a spreadsheet or a chatbot, the consequences of what follows are equally real. The difference across these techniques lies in how we distribute our agency and attention. In a time when our attention is micro-engineered, choosing to follow the breadcrumbs offered by tarot can lead us to find new mentors and guides, perhaps baba yaga herself. This is a mythopoetic approach, one that embraces magic and tarot as an opportunity to re-enchant our lives and our collective world-making.

Who is Sometime Tarot for?

Sometime tarot is for anyone seeking to make sense of the time they find themselves in.

It is open to experienced tarot readers seeking a fellow interpreter, to those learning tarot, and to complete newcomers. While many readings focus on personal questions, I also have experience working with artists, designers, researchers, and academics who seek guidance with a creative process, research project, or interpretive practice.

I am also interested in designing collective formats, workshops, and events that use tarot as a medium for reflection, conversation, and collaborative inquiry.

If it is your first time...

If you are considering your first tarot reading, you can read some testimonials (TBD) from others who began in the same position.

Many people approach divinatory practices with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. We may carry beliefs or fears about occult practices that arise from religious traditions, family histories, previous experiences, or popular culture stereotypes. I do not aim to dismiss these concerns. Instead, I approach them with care and openness. At the beginning of every reading, I explain my approach and make clear that we can stop at any point. If something particularly challenging emerges during a reading, I check in and seek consent before continuing.

If you have ever thought about getting a tarot reading sometime, perhaps sometime is now.
