Sandra Acevedo

Hello, my name is Sandra Acevedo. I am an intuitive tarot reader based in the USA in New Jersey and the owner of Sacred Services by Sandra LLC. Since I was a young girl, I felt the call to be of service to others. Not surprisingly, I became an elementary school teacher. I taught for over 25 years in public schools in low-income communities in Brooklyn and Staten Island New York. Shortly before leaving the profession, I was called to tarot through a dream I had with the number 13 and the Reaper. I was completely unfamiliar with tarot at the time and had to research what the symbols in my dream referred to. It was then that I first encountered the Death card and tarot. At that moment I felt a very clear knowing that I was being called to read tarot and there began my journey. The Death card can be interpreted in many ways during any given reading, but for me it symbolized a time of rebirth into one of my life’s divine purposes.

My readings are done using what I call a triune model wherein the querent (the client), the reader (myself), and the cards (the benevolent, loving, energetic intelligence working through and with them) form a closed circuit of energy that facilitates an outcome that is always intended for the highest good. Readings are offered via online sessions, text/email sessions, or by phone. In whatever setting the readings take place, they are dynamic and delivered with love, integrity and respect.

Besides being an intuitive tarot reader, I am also a certified reiki and animal reiki practitioner, energy healer, an evidential psychic medium and am on the cusp of being a certified crystal healer. I bring the energy of all of these modalities and my abilities into my tarot readings. This combined with my deep love for this sacred work and passion to help others, brings a special magic to all of my readings.

Everyone is welcome at Sacred Services by Sandra LLC. I offer a safe and judgement free environment and lovingly hold space for every client. I am also fluent in Spanish if needed.

Ryan Goodyear

Life is not confined to the boundaries of the physical. It's a tapestry woven with unseen threads of energy, destiny, and purpose. My journey started with a faint sense of this otherworldly force and evolved into a deep connection with the universe's mysteries.

My spiritual journey began in childhood when I noticed a subtle feeling of an intangible force that I could feel permeating my body. A little visualization here and a bit of focused sensation there, and I instinctively knew there was more to humans than the simple physicality that we are consciously aware of. As the years passed, through regular practice and the accumulation of knowledge from other practitioners, I discovered the potential of energy working for diverse purposes, from magick to manifestation and divination.

Today, I've harnessed this power to forge connections with my clients. My aim is to create not just readings, but resonant experiences. When I sit with a client, our journey begins with a shared realization - we have chosen to open a door together.

My approach to guidance is deeply rooted in karma. My intention is to help clients unearth and harness their energy, aligning it with the universal forces to catalyze personal karma for their highest good. When you embark on a reading with me, even if the insights aren't entirely new, you'll leave with an enhanced sense of self-assurance and greater control over your life. I want to take clients out of the passenger seat and put them into the driver's seat.

Discovering your spiritual prowess requires walking a difficult path. It is a transformative journey where we unlock the energy of the universe, weave it into your personal karma, and set you on a path to empowered living. My ultimate goal is to help my client learn how to listen to their soul so they may become who they actually desire to be rather than the construct they've become due to a life unfulfilled.

All life is full of magick, but how full is yours?

Danny Marino

I was Born in 1987, lived as a co-dependent burnout (more or less), enjoyed it, until I didn’t. I decided to change my life. I studied martial arts (Wing Chun Kung Fu) in 2008. In 2017 I was taught the art of Tantra and how to meditate. I felt I was being pushed in a better direction by my life coach (Kirby). On June 2nd, 2021, I quit smoking. I began to develop myself and let go of old codependent tendencies. I got a pack of tarot cards to look at while meditating. I grew ever more curious and began serious tarot study, mesmerized by all the knowledge, mysticism, and truth to the cards. I began to hear the voice of my (12 Step) Higher Power (Spirit) speak to me through the cards, and she’s been guiding me ever since. She helped me get totally clean and sober, and also lead me to several tarot schools. I started my youtube channel in 2022. I was certified and endorsed as a professional tarot reader in 2022, which lead me to write this bio.

Julie Rinaldi

Hi, my name is Julie Rinaldi, and I am in the beautiful picturesque Green Mountain State of Vermont. I am an intuitive Tarot Master specializing in Thoth Tarot and a Certified Massage Therapist. I spent an entire career as an adjudicator with the United States Citizenship Immigration Service and I am also Veteran of the U.S. Army.

In 2005, my life changed forever. My mother passed away abruptly and later that evening she came to me in my dreams. It was when I fell asleep this tunnel of white light opened in my bedroom. Standing in that tunnel was my mother. I could not see her face and she spoke to me telepathically. She acknowledged that I had a hard life growing up and she offered me the opportunity to go with her, but I could not do that. I had a young daughter that needed me, and I whimpered with a sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep. Looking back, I probably would have suffered a heart attack that night if I had chosen to go with
my mom. I had a deeper purpose in life, and I would embark on a spiritual journey to become a healer and
guide helping people find their balance in mind, body, and spirit.

In 2010, I graduated as a Certified Massage Therapist from the Wellness Massage Center & Institute in St. Albans, VT where I learned a variety of modalities with specialization in deep tissue and sports therapy. 

It was also during this time that I met my mentor Katherine Penberthy Veilleux, MS. It was Katherine that introduced me to Huna Shamanism and taught me how to journey to find my spirit animal(s) and find my sacred space/alter where I can communicate with my spirit guides finding guidance on my life’s purpose. Katherine taught me how to use the Dynamind technique that is effective relieving emotional and/or physical pain by relaxing the body, releasing resistance, and allowing the body’s natural ability to work. Katherine also taught me Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot using the psychological approach. I believe I was called to the Thoth cards. I found the cards spoke to me and the projected geometry in the cards make the archetypes come alive. There have even been times that the cards communicate with me in my dreams.

In early 2022, I wrote a college research paper for a World Mythology class, and I chose the topic of Aleister Crowley, and I bit off more than I could chew. It was a huge undertaking that led me to find Joe Monteleone on the YouTube channel Tarot with Joe. Joe offered the opportunity to study Advanced Tarot and Master Thoth Tarot and I plunged down the rabbit hole learning more about the Thoth cards including: The Tree of Life, Kabala, Jewish Mysticism, Hebrew, Hermetics, and Astrology. I continued my Tarot studies with the Tarot Readers Academy completing training in the Thoth Tarot systems and finally I am exploring my third-generation gypsy with the World Divination Association receiving training in Gypsy Witch and Gypsy cards.

I look forward to applying my massage skills and intuitive tarot readings to balance mind, body, and spirit
one person at a time.
