About Magellan Mystics

Magellan Mystics was born out of a deep intuitive need to share my reading abilities with others in our collective community. For the last 20 years the Tarot and Oracle have guided me in the difficult journey of finding my “Butterfly Moments” in life.

My “butterfly moments” are the moments in life where the world seems to stop, and I know the universe is with me. Either through a peaceful quiet that comes over me, an animal presenting themselves at the perfect moment, or even a really intense reading for myself or someone else. These moments are my driving force and what helped me realize that sharing my gifts is the only way for me to honor my place in the universe and step onto my path.

Finally reaching the top of this emotional internal mountain has been a freeing experience. I wish to share this feeling with others and I look forward to working with those who are ready to step into their power and see the magic in everyday life.

I was never someone who knew what they wanted to do in their life. I had lots of interests, but nothing that really got me up in the morning to strive for, or had a way I could figure out to support myself with. I was stuck working for other people, networking with friends to help each other job hop from one business or industry to another. I was living to work and had nothing left for myself when the day was over.

In early 2022 I hit a really low point and took a good hard look at myself, my life, and what I wanted. Card reading and magic have always been what has brought me back to myself and reconnected me with life and my power, and that connection came through to me hard during this low period.

I want to help others who feel stuck, or low, unmotivated, or lost. I know these feelings well and I have been to the bottom and clawed my way out numerous times. I finally was able to connect in the most powerful way and I will not turn back.

Finding my Tarot Path

I found my first Tarot deck when I was 15. I came across the Gilded Tarot and the art called to me so easily. From that day on, I always had a special place for my deck and would often pull cards for myself. For a long time I would just stare at the cards, see what I took from them intuitively and then would look up each card afterword to receive additional clarification. Over the years I came to understand the meanings of the cards and my ability to intuitively decide what they meant in the context of each reading.

When I was 25 I was walking around a metaphysical shop with another magical friend of mine, we soon became distracted by items that piqued our interests. I was immediately called to a pink and white stone box with a flower on top. Pink, white, and flowers are all not things I would say are my style, but I was immediately drawn to it for some reason. I reached the box and examined it. Opening it, I saw the artwork of the Gilded Tarot. There were 5 cards from my deck inside and I was blown away. I took the box to the counter for purchase and after hearing the story the shopkeeper was kind enough to let me keep the cards. For many years I kept the cards in my deck because sometimes a little bit of chaos is needed. :-) They are now displayed in my house as a reminder of their story. Their personal message to me is part of how I realized my need to step onto my Tarot path.

The name “Magellan Mystics”

The name of Magellan Mystics was born out of a great trauma in my life. In 2010 I adopted two sibling kittens. One male white cat and one female tortoise shell cat. Anubis (white) and Magellan (tortie) became my whole world. We moved 6 hours away from home together. We moved through many different apartments together. They slept with and cuddled me every night. We had routine and understood each other.

**Trigger Warning for mention of animal death. Skip to the next paragraph if needed**

In late 2014 Magellan was violently taken from me and her body and true story hid from me. Over the next 9 years I would be in and out of therapy to work through this trauma.

In late 2021 I found my current therapist and with her help, guidance, knowledge, kindness and flexibility we have worked to reconnect myself with the world of magic even after trauma. For years I could barely speak Magellan’s name and now I have opened a business in her honor and will get to see her name everyday. I was able to alchemize the trauma of losing Magellan into a business of gratitude for her lessons, a celebration of her life, and taking back my power when it was forcibly taken from me.

In my readings I use my own experiences from therapy, shadow work, and my spiritual journey to help interpret the cards and find their meaning for you and your situation. This is a collaborative process to help find the tools you may need to step forward in your life and grow your own power at the same time.
