I

My personal interest in Art History, Eastern and Western Spirituality and Communication have been drawing the line of my personal and professional path. I embrace Tarot, oracle cards and traditional divinatory structures as a tool for study, creative projects and self-empowering tools. I believe that an honest approach to the classical pack of 78 cards will open a new scope upon symbolism and the Western mysteries schools, promoting a positive development of individual sensibility and intuition through the historical value of symbols and images.

Traditional meditation and ancient praying techniques use yantras and religious images to promote stillness and inner peace. The aesthetical and ritual uses of images still have an important role in Spirituality because they help us to perceive Oneness in our daily Life. Consequently, I do not conceive Tarot as a simple game, neither I use Tarot artwork for strictly divination of the future,

During my Meditative Tarot Readings I read Tarot to help you in the process of re-creating your Life perspectives.

I mostly read Tarot Cards for private sessions and teach small groups workshops. According to my sensibility, I will draw some comparative lines between the symbolism of the cards and your individual history. Tarot is an invaluable heritage from Renaissance times with more than 500 years of age and associated wisdom.  Every card of a traditional Italian of French Tarot deck is embodied with cultural, spiritual, social and even political references that must be adapted to contemporary times. The images are close to the Christian sensibility but they are mixed with some pagan and mythological references to the Greek and Roman Ancient Ages.  

The general meanings of the 78 cards should nurture self-knowledge and unveil the potential value of human experience.

I am deeply interested in art history, synchronicity and observe the value of images. This led me to exercise my sensibility in perceiving the visual messages channelled by advertising strategies in the media, contemporary arts and cinema. This personal approach to Tarot cards is the main root of my LuminaDivinae Deck. In the same way, my Meditative Tarot Readings are conducted as a spiritual quest toward the inner voice and wisdom of symbolic images. Tarot cards may be used to play, learn and develop our relationship with the unconscious levels of our mind. Following this percept, I believe that a Tarot private reading is a celebration of intuition, interaction and creativity. My personal system of readings congregates my own studies in the Science of Kabbalah, Numerology and Jungian Psychology. I draw a bridge between different branches inside the legacy of European tradition.
  
Every new concept or card meaning that may surface during a reading is the simple result of an intuitive interpretation of symbols during the unique interaction between the Consultant and the Client.

IV

I envisage a Tarot deck as a visual alphabet composed by forms and colours, expressing different levels of information and abstract concepts. Every card may represent a number, a letter, and a special concept that will tell a story by the use of metaphor. A Tarot reading may unveil the potential value of each experience in Time because every oracle structure does configure and re-present – i.e. make present – certain events or behaviours in timeline.   Este alfabeto constrói linhas narrativas que espelham o valor potencial de cada momento na linha do tempo. My personal method of readings promotes self-respect and free will. Every client must be conscientiously responsible for his actions and decisions.

V

Please remember that a Professional Reading is not a reasonable substitute of a specialized advisor in the fields of health, law, finance and other scientific areas. Tarot cards should never be the only elements of decision over Life events. A professional and experienced Consultant or Reader will always act according to his certified skills and must be able to recognize his limits. Humility is a sign of quality.   

Following this personal statement, my personal approach to Meditative Tarot Readings will give you an inclusive perspective of Life experience in order to celebrate your identity and help you avoid all sort of manipulation and co-dependency toward Tarot reading.

VI

My Tarot Readings are confidential and private. I do not share, sell or give away my list of clients, their contacts and personal elements.

I am proud to tell you that I receive, consult and communicate with every client without distinction of race, social level or spiritual belief.  

VII

I will never judge the actions, decisions and the personal beliefs of others. For this reason, I am not a spiritual teacher, but a professional author, designer, radio producer and Tarot Reader. I have an experience of more than 20 years relating Tarot Cards but will never do Tarot Readings for people under 18 years old without the written recognized permission of their parents. This declaration shall state the aim and expectations regarding the session of Tarot readings and must be signed by all participants in honest agreement.

Please note that a Tarot Reader is not an authoritative figure and his own opinions should never be expressed during a Tarot Reading.   

VIII

Tarot means love for study and the will to serve others. Professional Tarot Readers have to be experienced and certified in the field by official teachers and recognized organizations. My personal opinion is that Tarot Readers – as other qualified professionals – must be legally registered, respected and recognized for their activity.
I am completely at your disposal to give you my support and answer your questions about my work.

Please note that this Code of Ethics is strictly personal, even if I may mention the Code of ATA – The American Tarot Association – as a personal reference to my practice among others. I do not intend to judge or express my opinion about different approaches – this text is the natural consequence of my personal sensibility and experience.
