Hello and Welcome to Tegs Tarot. As this is my first post on my new webpage I thought it best to introduce myself and my business.
I am Tegs, a 21 year old designer and tarot reader from the Gold Coast, Australia.
Despite my young age I am not new to the world of spirituality, having been raised by a psychic medium mother who taught me the value of having a connection to spirit. If you have just stumbled onto my page you may not know that the psychic mum I’m talking about is also known as Angel Connections with Kathy. She has been in the business my whole life, so it’s safe to say that I’ve always been encouraged to pursue this side of life.
As I child I was always very open to the idea of magic, making ‘potions’ in the bath or talking to fairies in the garden for hours on end. At some point, like most of us, due to influence of others as a teen I shut myself off from this world, just wanting to fit into the crowd.
For the last several years I’ve been studying in a field far removed from anything regarding psychics, angels or spirituality. In the beginning it was fine, I had big dreams of where this path could take me and enjoyed learning along the way, but I quickly became exhausted and disheartened with not only the industry but myself.
As I’m sure many of you have experienced in the last year, the world has certainly changed, giving us many unforeseen challenges, but also some opportunities. With suddenly a lot more free time on my hands I truly noticed how unhappy I was with my life and career path. I truly felt lost for the first time in my life, having always had a goal I was working towards in the past.
So, with nothing left to lose, I turned to spirit to see where my life was heading. I asked for something that would help me make a decision about what I should do for my future. At some point I went to Youtube and my recommended had a pick a card reading from the Hermit Tarot’s channel. I soon found myself watching tarot and oracle readings for hours, shocked at how much the messages related to my situation, as well as how drawn I felt to the cards.
Despite being raised by someone who communicates with angels and passed loved ones on the daily, mum didn’t like Tarot cards, so I had never even considered this an option for me. When I purchased my first deck it was the first time I ever felt truly connected to cards. I’ve had many oracle decks in the past, many of which I love and still use, but this was different, it felt right.
I quickly began learning, reading for myself every other day, and absolutely fell in love with the cards. There is something truly magical about connecting with your deck, and it didn’t take long until I was reading for family and friends to grow my skills. Soon, it was much more than feeling warm and fuzzy when whoever I was reading for said I was accurate. A few weeks into having unlocked a new type of connection to spirit I began seeing the benefits of finding clarity with the cards.
Those who I had read for began to tell me about what was happening in their life that I had ‘predicted’ during my readings, such as getting promotions or meeting a new partner. I saw my friends and family make important decisions with more confidence because of what had come out in the cards. It was a truly eye-opening experience.
I went back and forth over what I wanted my future to look like towards the end of 2020, unsure if what I was working so hard for in university was sustainable for my mental health (it wasn’t), or if I would fail horrifically if I changed careers. The first few months of this year was far better, and between strong encouragement from my parents and friends, along with the card being favourable, I started Tegs Tarot.
The last few months have been great for my Tarot side of things, being able to help more and more people, hearing happy stories of how readings have truly changed the lives of others has been a dream come true. I have begun pursuing Tarot (mostly) full time, using part of what I studied to design and create digitally, including this very website!
Some may call this my ‘Fool’ journey, starting out something that on the surface seems so ‘head in the clouds’, but if that’s the case I’m looking forward to the many adventures along the way!
I truly hope you will stick around to see Tegs Tarot’s journey, and thank you for supporting me along the way.
