Hi, I'm Liyah ♡
If you've made it all the way to my about me page, I guess I should actually tell you about me lol.
I'm 20 years old, a tarot reader, entrepreneur, creative, & a girl who has spent a lot of her life trying to understand herself, other people, & why the hell things happen the way they do.
I've been spiritually connected for as long as I can remember. I grew up around spirituality, ancestors, spirits, energy, & conversations about things that other people might consider “unseen.” So, none of this ever felt extremely foreign to me. If anything, it took me getting older to realize that everybody did not grow up like that!
Tarot officially found me through my mom.
I remember coming home from middle school one day hiding the fact that I had a crush. She pulled out her cards, did a reading on me, & somehow figured out not only that I liked somebody…but that he was a Taurus.
I was shook. Like genuinely, how the hell did you know that? This may seem ‘basic’ compared to what I know now, but think about someone using cards to tell you something that you told NO ONE.
Naturally, as a preteen, I needed to know everything after that.
I started learning Tarot for myself at 12, reading for other people at 13, & eventually started charging for readings when I was 14. Six years later, here I am! I absolutely love what I do.
I'm not here to tell you what to do.
I think one of the biggest things I've learned throughout the years is that I don't want people to leave my readings feeling like they need me to make every decision for them.
Yes, I can tell you how somebody feels. Yes, we're absolutely going to talk about the tea, I love predictions, love readings, future energy, & all the things people naturally come to Tarot curious about.
But I also care about you. How do you feel? What do you want? Why are you accepting something that clearly makes you unhappy? Why do you keep second guessing yourself when you already knew the answer before you booked the reading? What part of you needs support right now?
Sometimes my readings are fun. Sometimes they're messy. Sometimes Spirit drags you a little bit. Sometimes we end up talking about something completely different from the question you originally asked.
That's just how I read.
My job isn't to control your life or convince you that I know you better than you know yourself. I'm here to give you another perspective, channel what comes through, & help you hear yourself a little clearer.
My spirituality looks like me.
For a long time, I think I subconsciously believed I had to become a certain type of person to fully step into my gifts.
More polished. More serious. More “healed.” Maybe I needed to meditate every morning, speak less, wear flowy clothes, & never lose my shit over anything ever again. lol.
Yeah…no. I'm still Liyah.
I cuss. I laugh during readings. I get irritated. I change my mind. I love creating things. I play games. I have random ideas at ridiculous hours. I'm constantly starting a new project because apparently one business was not enough for me 😭 #CapricornMoon
I'm also deeply spiritual. Those things can exist together!
My relationship with Spirit/ The Universe has actually become stronger the more I've allowed myself to be a real person. I don't believe spirituality is about performing perfection. I think it's about knowing yourself. Being willing to see yourself. Trusting yourself. Learning when something is yours to carry & when it's time to put that shit down.
I'm still learning too & I don't ever want to pretend otherwise.
Liyah The Tarot Reader has grown with me.
What started as me pulling cards as a teenager has turned into something I genuinely couldn't have planned.
I've read for people through breakups, new relationships, business ideas, spiritual awakenings, identity shifts, grief, confusion, & some situations so messy that I had to stare at the cards for a second before I even started talking, lol!
I've expanded into ritual work, spiritual guidance, mentorship, & deeper 1-on-1 support because I've realized that sometimes a reading is only the beginning of the conversation.
Sometimes you know what's happening. The real question is…what are you going to do now? That's the part of my work I've grown to love. I want this space to feel like somewhere you can come as you are. You don't need to know Tarot. You don't need to be “spiritual enough.” You don't need to have the perfect question or already understand what you're going through.
We can figure it out together.
So…welcome ♡
I'm not going to tell you that you found my website because the Universe personally dragged you here at 3:33 PM. Maybe you saw a post. Maybe somebody sent you my page. Maybe you were being nosy. Maybe you genuinely felt called to book with me.
Either way, you're here & I'm happy you are. Take a look around. Read about my services. Book a reading if something speaks to you. Come back later if you're not ready. There's no pressure to be anywhere other than where you are right now.
Welcome to Liyah The Tarot Reader ♡
