About

Hi, I’m Melissa. My friends call me Mel. I like pretty cards, crys­tals, scarves and ear­rings. Like, huge ear­rings. HUGE.

It makes sense then I became a psychic.

I cre­ate ora­cles, teaches lessons, and write about the prac­ti­cal noetic appli­ca­tions of div­ina­tion. I’m fas­ci­nated by a spir­i­tual lifestyle that is defined by ease and filled with joy. I love art, his­tory and small shiny objects. My spe­cialty is Lenor­mand car­tomancy and tarot. I also enjoy a good pen­du­lum, read­ing cof­fee grounds (dark roast, some­times hazel­nut), palm­istry and the I-Ching. The uni­verse is totally funky and I am all kinds of tapped into that.

A few things I’ve done:

  • Pub­lished two decks of cards, the Melissa Lenor­mand and the Post­mark Lenor­mand (reviews here and here).
  • Started a few other decks (I have two or three half-finished now :) ). Art­work from one of my unfin­ished projects was fea­tured in the Tarot Lovers Cal­en­dar for 2011.
  • Was a Soul­care Provider for the online spir­i­tual com­mu­nity, Flock.
  • Was a con­trib­u­tor to the eBook, Regiv­ing.
  • Pre­sented a study group on Lenor­mand car­tomancy at Read­ers Stu­dio 2011.
  • Wrote a monthly car­to­scope col­umn for the super-amazing inspi­ra­tional mag­a­zine, Wild Sis­ter.

Things I now do:

  • Blog, gen­er­ously. I hope.
  • Offer work­shops on dif­fer­ent forms of div­ina­tion, includ­ing Lenor­mand car­tomancy and tarot.
  • Tutor new and expe­ri­enced intu­itives alike in for­tune telling the­ory and professionalism.
  • Read cards and tell for­tunes for folks all over the world.

Oh, you want the blurby-blurb version?

Melissa Jo Hill is a tarot pro­fes­sional and free­lance writer and artist. She has ten years expe­ri­ence in trans­for­ma­tive tarot con­sul­ta­tions and has been read­ing cards half her life. Before find­ing her call­ing as an intu­itive pro­fes­sional, she worked as a craftswoman, wait­ress and cook, a handy­woman, obit­u­ar­ist, teacher’s aid and pro­fes­sional mime. She lives in upstate New York with her two children.

What oth­ers have said about me (my cards and the tarot read­ings I’ve done):

I wish I had been intro­duced to what I’ll call “basic car­tomancy” and the Lenor­mand years ago… learn­ing the Lenor­mand ora­cle and cre­at­ing my own have really solid­i­fied a lot of things for me in terms of my read­ing style and phi­los­o­phy… and have allowed me to branch out into dif­fer­ent styles of read­ing. I will always love and use the Tarot, but it has been nice to add to my orac­u­lar tool belt for lack of a bet­ter turn of phrase.

You are a nat­ural teacher. I’m not sure if that’s what you do as a “day job” but I hope you will con­tinue to teach classes online. I will keep an eye out for what you are offer­ing next.

I have read Tarot Cards for over 30 years.  There are times when you can not read the cards for yourself.….you become to involved with your own sit­u­a­tion. I choose Melissa, for her hon­esty.  She has helped me out alot.…I can’t thank her enough, and I highly rec­om­mend her. I will come back to her every time I become to involved in my own situation.….I trust her 100%.
