Tarot for Healing

Myk (pronounced like 'Mike’) is a second generation card reader focused on healing and personal insight. Rooted in a family tradition, his readings provide a compassionate space to explore your questions and find gentle guidance. This practice is all about helping you find a path forward.

Whether you’re seeking emotional clarity or a new perspective, these sessions support your journey toward balance and growth.

Myk came to tarot after having a persistent intuition that it was what he needed at that time. Through immersing himself in tarot knowledge, he reconnected with a part of his own family history. His Romanian grandmother, with whom he’d grown up, had learned to lay the cards as a teenager while in a Soviet prison for supposedly being a spy (but really just being a Jew in Eastern Europe). Among the many skills she learned while in jail was the art of reading the cards from a group of Romani women who looked after her until her eventual release. Myk’s childhood was filled with hearing the wild tales of her life. It’s through the cards, humor, and storytelling that he now feels a deep connection to her and the wisdom she shared with him over the years.

Myk believes that we are often discouraged from making decisions not rooted in logic, yet much of life is mysterious, even when thoroughly examined. Tarot is a tool that can help us explore other aspects of ourselves and bring intuition into our daily lives. It’s an experience full of wonder, excitement, and fun.

A tarot reading is a collaborative process between Myk, you, and the cards. The tarot can be spookily on point, but even when it’s not it’s still a wonderful way to look at an issue from unexpected angles. Myk will help clarify what the issue is, set up a spread, and tell you what the cards say in a way that is clear and meaningful to your situation. You’ll be invited to notice your own reactions, thoughts, and feelings, to the cards. Even if it feels like randomness and chance, you might try taking them seriously. What then? Through this process, your own intuition has an opportunity to come into focus.

In addition to his deep connection to his grandmother from having grown up and lived with her, he was given a treasure beyond value several years after her passing. She survived WWII, with an unusual story that spans five countries. She spoke 7 languages, raised a family and . . . wrote her entire life story down in a 2000 page manuscript that until 2022 when Myk tracked it down, no one had read.

The book starts in Bessarabia when she was 17, two days before it was taken over by the Soviet Union. It takes the reader back a generation to her mother fleeing from Odessa to Romania, then journeys deep into the Soviet Union, and eventually to Poland, Israel and Canada, capturing an incredibly detailed slice of life in each time and place, down to details of how food was prepared during the harvest in Romania, how nightly interrogations were conducted in Soviet prison, and how the women organized themselves to survive the daily horrors. For Myk, reading her book was meaningful beyond words.
