There are those among us who keep well away from all things to do with divination – the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by what some would call ‘supernatural means’.

They run screaming from psychics, mediums, fortune tellers, readers of tea leaves, and the like.

I am no longer one of them!

Blame it on influences from my star sign if you will, but I now believe that there are people out there who are gifted with a special kind of intuition, who are guided by forces not easily explained, that provide a very special service to those who want clarity and direction on particular aspects of their lives.

Don’t get me wrong – there is always a small element of scepticism, but if you are able to get in front of a person who really knows their stuff, and who can clearly add value to your life, then why not?

I was fortunate enough to meet such a person!

Conrad, a lifelong student of metaphysics, discovered that he had the natural intuition and ability to read Tarot Cards. His first deck of cards was handed down to him from a renowned Tarot reader, and he started reading for himself and friends as practice. He soon began reading for others, and over time his gift has turned into a thriving business.

The Tarot Lounge, situated at the Elephant Walk Country Village in Colleen Glen, is Conrad’s pride and joy, and a culmination of many years of fine-tuning his craft.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to experience my very own Tarot Reading with Conrad recently, and was blown away!

You are welcomed into his cosy reading room, surrounded by Buddhas, crystals, candles and other symbols of divination, which help to enhance the atmosphere and your reading.

Conrad offers coffee and makes you feel very comfortable as he chooses the deck of cards he will be using on you, and begins to shuffle. He then asks you to concentrate on the situations in your life that you want clarity and direction on, and to do this whilst shuffling the deck yourself.

The cards pick up on your energy, and he then works closely with this energy and intuitively interprets what has happened (past), what is currently happening (present) and what will possibly happen (future) in your life.

You must be open-minded so that you achieve the best reading possible. I will say that the sceptic in me was determined not to give him any information – just to see what he came up with – and was I in for a surprise!

He then lays the cards on the table in a very particular pattern, where each strand of 3 cards depicts the past, present and future of a certain aspect of your life, but each strand is interlinked with the other strands on the table to give you the whole picture.

And then the fun begins!

I just sat and watched in awe as Conrad spoke about my career, love life, home life, what was blocking me and how the cards suggested I break through that blockage to be able to move forward. It was fascinating!

He moves through each strand in meticulous detail, and uses his highly developed intuitive skills to assess what the cards are trying to tell him.

At no time did I feel that he was making things up, and he often touched on issues and scenarios that he would have had no prior knowledge of, but that resonated with me perfectly.

Perceptive is an understatement! And I’m not exaggerating when I say the guy is exceedingly accurate!

It is important to note that Conrad states quite emphatically that he is not a medium, psychic or fortune teller, and he doesn’t involve/associate himself with anything dark or negative – so the messages you receive from the cards will always be constructive and informative.

I came away from the whole experience feeling a deep sense of relief, followed by a renewed sense of determination. Relief that I was clearly on the right path for my future, in many ways, but determined to work harder, smarter and deal with the pitfalls along the way.

Forewarned is forearmed they say!

I cannot recommend a reading with Conrad at The Tarot Lounge more. You would not be compromising yourself in any way by doing so, and you will come away with so much more than when you arrived.

You have nothing to lose and a much deeper understanding of yourself and your environment to gain, I can vouch for that!

Open Times:
Tue – Sat 9am-3pm
