Hello! It’s a pleasure to be here with you all. I was a long-time lurker on AT, and was very bummed when it was closed. However, I was very pleased to run across this forum and it’s group of kind, helpful, knowledgable people—everything I liked about AT! This time, though, I think it best if I lurk less and be involved more. 🙂
I’m a transplant to the Midwest from NYC. Back there, I used to read regularly for others for quite a few years (never close to full-time, though—I’m in wild envy of those of you that have this as your career.) Here in the Midwest… it’s a different story due to a different breed of folks than I’m used to. Even at the odd “tarot party” booking I still do around here, I run into lecture-y religious types (they understood the host’s meaning of “tarot party” become coming, right?!) This has me hesitant to read much anymore, and has me shying away from joining the local association/doing their fairs. It’s likely that lack of outlet here that led me back online to you all—so there’s a positive light at the end of that tunnel!
I look forward to getting to know you all, and learning from you!
