I'm Mark, a tarot reader and dowser with years of genuine practice behind me. I read cards, I work with pendulum and rods, and I teach both to people who want to learn. If you've got a question that's been sitting with you, I can help you look at it properly.

About Mark

Years of practice, coming back properly

I've been reading tarot and working with a pendulum and dowsing rods for years, long before it was something I did full time. In the 2000s I ran a small business called Divined for Life, readings, teaching, a little shop, alongside a demanding full-time career. The business closed in 2011, not because people stopped wanting readings, but because I simply ran out of hours in the week due to my full time job becoming more demanding.

That hasn't changed how I feel about the work. I'm coming back to it properly now, starting quietly, building it the way I always wanted to the first time round. What I bring is not a beginner's enthusiasm but years of actual practice, particularly with the pendulum and rods, which I've always found the most direct and the most useful part of what I do. If tarot is where you're starting, I'll meet you there. If you want to know what dowsing can actually do for you, that's where I'd rather begin the conversation.

Dowsed to determine

Most readers work from tarot alone. I use rods and pendulum too, the traditional diviner's tools for finding what's lost, cutting through a decision you've been going round in circles on, or getting a clear yes or no on a question that tarot tends to answer more slowly. It's rarer than tarot, it's the part of this work I know best, and if you've never tried it, it's worth asking me about.

FAQs

Good to know

Are these readings just for fun, or should I take them seriously?

Readings are offered for entertainment and personal insight. I take the work seriously and I think you'll find something useful in it, but it isn't a substitute for professional advice, and I won't pretend it's certainty.

What happens in an email reading?

You send me your question, I lay out the cards, and I write back with a proper interpretation, not a template with your name dropped in. It takes three to five working days, and one follow-up question is included if something needs clarifying.

I've never had a reading before, is that a problem?

Not at all. Tell me that when you book and I'll talk you through what to expect before we start.

What's the difference between a tarot reading and a dowsing consultation?

Tarot works well for open, exploratory questions, "what's going on with this situation". Dowsing, with pendulum or rods, is better suited to something you can frame as a clear question, particularly if you're stuck between options or trying to find something. If you're not sure which fits, ask me and I'll point you the right way.

Are you insured?

Yes, I carry public liability and professional indemnity cover.
