Trad Witchcraft Tarot

Welcome to the House of the Black Flame

For those who would rather sit with the dark than be lied to by the light.

The Daily Tarot Card

Each day, one card is drawn in the quiet hours and laid on the altar for whoever finds their way here.

This is not a horoscope. It is a weather report. Some days smell like opportunity, some like old smoke, some like the kind of temptation you do not admit you went looking for.

The card may be pulled by Sage, Cassandra, or Sybil. The voice shifts, but the current is the same: unsanitized, uncorrect, and meant to brush directly against whatever you have tried to keep out of sight.

Today’s Pull

The Fulcrum – Reversed

Today is the moment between the swallow and the burn. You know what you are balancing on; you know which way you secretly hope it falls. Stop pretending you don’t.

Check back when the hunger circles again. The House will be here.

The Readers of the House

Three hands, one fire. Choose a reader, or let the House decide who turns the cards for you.

Sage - Folk Witch Reader

Sage

48 · Folk‑witch · Crossroads confidante

Sage has spent most of her life in places decent people pretend not to see—back rooms, closing time, motel curtains that never quite meet. She learned cards the same way she learned men: by watching what they do when they think no one is taking notes.

Men find their way to Sage when they are restless, unslept, and a little over‑touched by the wrong hands. She leans in, listens, and lets the spread undress the mess instead—layer by layer, excuse by excuse—until the bare truth is on the table between you.

She works best with those taught to carry everything and confess nothing: workers, fathers, sons of difficult fathers. Sage will not fix you. She will show you where the hunger really is, what it is costing you to pretend you do not want, and where the heat might finally go when you stop lying to yourself.

Cassandra - Liminal Witch Reader

Cassandra

23 · Liminal witch · Story‑stitched

Cassandra grew up between a house that feared magic and a body that would not stop dreaming in symbols. Tarot became the way she stitched herself back together—one spread, one scar, one secret at a time.

Her readings move like stories: part best‑friend confessional, part older‑sister who already made the mistake and refuses to let you keep pretending you are fine. She is especially tuned to women, femmes, and queer folk wrestling with desire, self‑worth, and the slow jailbreak from “good girl” and “good worker” costumes.

Expect tenderness, profanity, and the occasional necessary slap from the cards. Cassandra does not do fairy‑tale endings. She does exits, thresholds, and the first dirty breath of who you were always supposed to be.

Sybil - Hedge Witch Reader

Sybil

57 · Hedge‑witch · Keeper of the long view

Sybil has cemetery dirt under her nails and the patience of someone who has watched many people die well and badly. Years in hospice and invisible care work left her with a fluent understanding of what people confess when they finally stop bluffing.

She reads for anyone who is tired of their own bullshit and ready for the long view: men, women, and everyone in between who can feel the ancestors breathing down their neck. Her spreads move slowly and sink deep, less “What will happen?” and more “What has already happened to you, and where does the knife still sit?”

People come to Sybil when nothing else has worked, when therapy has circled the drain and the patterns still repeat. The cards here do not predict. They testify.

Whispers from the Dark

What remains when the reading is done.

“I didn’t want to hear it, but Sage said exactly what I needed to survive the divorce. No fluff. Just truth.”

— M.R.

“The Inferno reading wasn't a reading; it was an exorcism of my old self. Worth every drop of sweat.”

— Anon.

Tarot Readings & Rites

All readings are rooted in traditional witchcraft—earthy, blood‑warm, suspicious of tidy answers. No Wiccan gloss.

Ember Reading

A quick incision.

  • 3–5 cards on a single, focused question
  • Concise written reading (approx. 400–700 words)
  • Delivered by email or Telegram

Ideal for crossroads choices, yes/no with teeth, or “Why does this keep happening?” You bring one question. The House brings whatever answer the cards are willing to give.

Flame Reading

A spread for the doorway.

  • 9–11 cards (Celtic Cross or custom threshold spread)
  • Detailed reading (approx. 1,500–2,000 words) or audio message
  • Includes one follow‑up clarification within 7 days

For tangled situations: relationships on the verge, secret plans, old grief that will not stay buried. Past, present, and probable futures laid out where you can finally see them.

Inferno Reading

When you are ready to burn.

  • Extensive, custom spread (multiple layers and shadow pulls)
  • Narrative “letter from the House” delivered as a PDF or long-form message
  • Optional live Telegram chat or voice session (as available)

For initiations, endings, oaths, and work at the edge of the self. The cards do not promise safety. They promise clarity and a clean line between what must live and what deserves the fire.

How It Works

  1. Choose your rite. Decide whether you want Ember, Flame, or Inferno—and whether you want a specific reader or will let the House choose.
  2. Complete the House form. Fill out the Google Form with your name (or alias), preferred contact (email or Telegram), your chosen reading, and the background to your question. You will also see current timing and any temporary closures there.
  3. Wait for the smoke to curl. Once your form is received and your reading is accepted, you will get a brief confirmation. When your cards are cast, your reader sends the work directly to your inbox or chat.

The House does not offer refunds once a reading has been cast. Timeframes, outcomes, and other people’s actions can never be guaranteed. What you receive is pattern, perspective, and a sharp lantern in a narrow hallway.

The Google Form will appear here when the House opens its doors to new clients.
