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 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):

“As a former employee at a New Age company, I know  tarot and have had my cards read by some of the most famous names in the industry. Melissa fits right in and in many cases, supersedes. Her readings are always, always spot on, whether or not she has to give some hard information–she’s not afraid to tell it like she sees it! After each reading, I am more informed and enlightened, and most importantly, I am armed with the tools I need to make the changes I want. I can’t recommend Melissa enough.”

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%.
