The tarot (/'tro?/; first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi, tarock, and others) is a pack of playing cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot.
The first known documented tarot cards were created between 1430 and 1450 in Milan, Ferrara and Bologna in northern Italy when additional trump cards with allegorical illustrations were added to the common four-suit pack.

Crystals have long been collected for their beauty and are widely believed to be associated with healing and metaphysical properties. Clear quartz and amethyst, for example, are associated with higher consciousness and psychic ability. Crystals are used as to help in meditation, as jewelry and in the home to attract and amplify the associated energies.
Tarot cards have fascinated people for centuries, and remain a very good description of human nature and the life experience. They give us a way to tune into our own intuition and discuss the emotions and personal motivations involved in decision making in a very entertaining way.
The universal themes depicted in the cards still apply; love and money continue to rank high in most people's desires, and while we all have our own intuition, we often don't believe or listen to it.Tarot gives us an easy way to access and make intuition work for us, to help make better decisions when we are at a crossroads.

The lovely lady in the front was extremely welcoming we had a great conversation and had many things in common while my tea cup reader Devlin was preparing for our session. He is extremely intuitive, friendly and to the point! It was a wonderful experience I left feeling very zen and on top of that he recorded the session on cd for me! Highly recommend!!

Yesterday I received a review from Antoinette, She read the cards so fast I could hardly understand what she was saying. She kept looking at the timer so I felt like she wasn't interested. I figured I'd listen to the cd provided once I returned home from my vacation. I'm home and the cd doesn't work.. Myself and my girlfriend's weren't offered tea. Reading the comments is how I learned we should've been given a free tea.. My two girlfriend's had Otis and after hearing their readings it sounds like he repeated the exact thing to both of them. I feel like I was hoodwinked and bamboozled!

I came in at 5:30, 30 minutes before they closed, with 2 friends. We asked if they could do 3 readings & they said yes. My lady was told to "prepare the tea" and then I was brought back into an individual room after.
**my reader never told me her name. All I know is she is an African American woman with short hair, for reference.**
NOTHING she said was right, and by nothing, I mean literally not one thing. My reading lasted TWO AND A HALF MINUTES (you pay for 10). At the end of my reading, she goes "yeah you're hard to read"...looks at her watch and says "OH

I have my first tea leaf 10 minute reading with a very special psychic named Kim! Once I put my energy into the cup she already knew things about me before saying anything. We were in a private room and it was very personal. I felt enlighten after the reading. She answered questions before I asked which made this experience truly remarkable.

I had a great experience and so glad I was validated in my current thoughts or situations. The store and check-in staff were great. I will say, I listened to my friends reading and there may need to be a re review on Otis- I felt like the "reading" was a bunch of adjectives. I would recommend this location and loved the set up for the rooms.

Had a reading with Otis. This reading was literally him doing about 6 tarot card readings. I was in there for about 30 min and I have no idea what he said. All he did was call out each card as he flipped it over. The reading had nothing to do with me personally. I should have requested a refund and regret that I didn’t. They have me a CD with the reading on it which I’ll probably never listen to because the “reading” was just the same phrases mentioned over and over again. He also kept saying that maybe I would have kids or maybe I wouldn’t…maybe I would get married, maybe I wouldn’t

I had a bad experience since the beginning. Too many red flags and I ignore them. It started off when I was waiting outside for them to open. I saw a 2 red headed ladies going in and out. I wasn't sure if they were customers or employees. I tried asking one of them if they worked there, but totally ignored me. As soon as 10am hit on my phone I decided to go in. One of them rudely told me, "we are still closed". By this time I was debating moving forward, but still waited and went in "for the experience". I was then greeted by an older gentleman. He was sweet. He gave me

I hate leaving bad reviews but I felt compelled to do so based on my psychic reading. I did a 10 minute reading that lasted more like 5 minutes and completely centered around my partner at the moment. I mean I love him and all but we decided not to do a couple reading because we wanted to know about ourselves specifically and separately. On top of feeling like my reading was all about him and not me, my partner’s reading completely contradicted mine. My “psychic” said we were soulmates and would get married soon and have been together in a separate life while his “psychic” said that we

I had a reading in December, probably 2004, with Olivia. She was amazing. I'm still discovering how accurate her predictions were. I had several phone readings with Olivia after I returned home and all were amazing. My last reading was perhaps two weeks before Katrina. The atmosphere in the French Quarter was very heavy. Olivia had predicted during my first reading that I would again visit someplace in the South. I was surprised because I was in the process of planning a move to Europe and had no intentions of another visit to the South. As it turned out, the only way I could get back

Worst reading I've had in my entire life!Don't even bother going near this place. Did the reading handed me a disk walked out of the room and said I need to check something and didn't come back. The people on the street are much better than anyone in that building. And it cost twice as much. Runaway runaway runaway.

An amazing experience. Wonderful staff, And very good psychics. I surprise my sister with a Tea reading And the entire experience gave her a calming peace of mind. I also purchased a crystal ball. It was one of the best I’ve seen. Not one inclusion and so beautiful. I wanted a black stand pillow and they went out of their way to find one. Probably one of the best experiences I’ve had. I am going to have to figure out how to get a 20 pound crystal ball back with me on a flight but I’m sure it won’t be too bad.

I went there years ago. Otis was good and friendly, but no predictions. Another lady read playing cards, and was able to tell me a lot about my boyfriend based on his birthday. Another young female reader gave advice and predicted I would meet a man from the northeast, who turned out to be a short term husband. The front desk mainly took money and quoted prices, not really friendly. They have gotten way too expensive, and from what I read, not that good. Those three were very friendly. The females are no longer there, and I don't remember their names.

As a skeptic with readings, I decided to try the 10 minute tea leaf reading since I have never heard of it and just thought it would be fun. Considering my current situation and not knowing what else I had a question about that I needed answered, I went with probably one of the most generic things. However, after my reading was done, I felt that it aligned with my current path and how I'm setting up for my future right now, but feel as if I have more clarity than I did before arriving there. Keep in mind, I didn't say anything personal to the one doing my reading, I was blown away.

I've been to this establishment twice. The first time I had a tea leaf reading with Otis. I figured, why not? It is what they're known for, right? It's in the name! I had an amazing experience. I felt comforted and safe after a divorce and Otis reassured me that later, down the road when the time was right I'd meet the right man. We finished rather quickly, and had some time to spare, so he continued with a tarot card reading. I was rather impressed. I loved the experience so much, I went back again about six months later. I went to go see Otis and I was a bit disappointed when

Never had a reading before but have always wanted to. I was visiting New Orleans and ran into this place looking for another store. The reader was a very nice older gentleman and the reading was very thoughtful and open. I truly enjoyed coming here the only down side was the lady at the front desk was a little if putting but I was so excited to get my reading done, it was an after thought.

Here's the deal, I love tea. I also wanted to get a reading. I figured this would be the best place for this. Turns out it was not. The people in the front are not friendly or welcoming at all. We booked our times and waiting a little bit until our readers were ready. I was surprised to find out that you do NOT drink the tea. You basically walk in to a small little closet with your reader and the hand you a cup of "tea" so hold, shake back and forth, and swirl. You then hand it back to them and the turn it over onto a napkin and then read the signs. My lady was Brandee.

This place was recommended to me by my Lyft driver. I'm on vacation here from NH. I googled it for reviews and it looked good. One of the readers seemed to be more prominent in the reviews than others so I went with him, his name is Otis. He blew my socks off!!! He was so accurate it was frightening. I think he really has the gift. So glad I went with the 30 ($70) minute as opposed to the 15. Appointments are recommended. I chose the tea leaves and Tarot cards. It was amazing that the Tarot cards seemed to perfectly confirm what the tea leaves had said. I highly recommend this place and

Other than the older gentleman, Lee this was a waste of my time. They've got great prices on a few stones and different feng shui and evil eye products but they seemed to not want to be bothered with my questions or even greeting. Lee changed that and I was scheduled with a reading from Otis... and I left uninspired... everything in my life was great and going to stay great, while that sounds wonderful it felt disingenuous. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere a bit less commercial and pepple that actually like what they do.

I always go into things like this with an open mind, but this was 100% not worth the $35 spent for a ten minute reading.
The people who greet you were not welcoming and the man that rang us in absolutely did not have good energy. I'm somewhat used to this in occult stores, so I ignored it. Should've listened to my intuition.
My tea leaf reading was done by a very pleasant young lady, but she was repeating herself a lot and checking the clock frequently. It felt very contrived. Additionally, She didn't really have much to say. I do a lot of Divination, myself, and I think I could

I came in with a open mind, as I only had cards read by a previous coworker that had a set and swore she knew how to use them, false. Aurora was my guide. I was delighted by her smile, but suddenly clammed up when she hit record and started introducing us on the recording. It no longer felt private. The reading didn't go well for me as I'm sure I was throwing her in several directions with my generally agreeing and disagreeing with things regardless of my true feelings. I just kept thinking, "if someone hears this..". Aurora, bless her heart. I snapped a photo of my cards

A solid three stars. I was drawn to this place for the tea. The holidays were nearing and I knew tea would be a great gift. I hadnt yelped this place or read any reviews, just stumbled into it one day while walking around the French quarter. The lady behind the counter was, curt. And somewhat, less than welcoming. She did not deter me though, I was on a mission. I found a couple teas that i figured would make good gifts and paid. Still, the lady was gruff.
A few days later, i happened to stop back in, same lady, same attitude. I bought a few more items and was on my way.

This place is a must! I had a really great reading with Otis - who's been there since the 70's. He was phenomenal, warm, funny, and hit things right on the head without me saying a word.
They have a sampling of their house teas you can try while you wait and other really cool items too.
I , my sister, and my 2 friends were very pleased with our readings. My friend had her new relationship foretold, before anyone was even on her radar! It's great fun and who knows what will be foretold for you!
