Testimonials
“Back
where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are
called phila-, er, er, philanth-er, yes, er, good-deed doers, and their hearts
are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven't got - a
testimonial.” —The Wizard to the Tin Man
My deep gratitude goes out to all the students, clients, and group participants who have been so wonderfully generous with their praise over the past fifteen years. I sincerely thank you.Re: ClassesRe: Group FacilitationRe: Readings

Classes
“Interactive”
“Creative” “Valuable” “Brilliant” “Rigorous” “Intuitive” “I'm
getting a lot out of this course so far. Like any good introductory course, it
first makes you feel like you know less about the Tarot than you thought, and
then proceeds to give you tools to rebuild your knowledge - teaching how to fish
instead of simply giving the fish. Sure, there are lots of cookbooks with
definitions galore, and they do provide plenty of fortifying information, but
here you provide a format in which one can learn to operate with more
self-sufficiency. Already I feel much more confident in my readings than before
and am very eager to put this approach to practical use.” “A very
excellent lesson that worked in a surprising way. I feel that I am truly
learning something valuable that I can use for the rest of my life…” “The
exercises offer great perspective - very much a learn-by-doing experience!” “The
structure of the session this time unfolded some powerful layers I've been
experiencing, put a finer grain to them. Great for process and insight.” “The
symbol association exercise was brilliant...a bit like my first real lightsabre
traning session, where I was surprised I actually could “feel the Force.”
Perhaps I will become a Tarot Jedi before the six weeks are out.” “(Joy
has) an artistic flair for teaching tarot the likes of which is rarely seen.” “…my
“spiritual academia” is really thriving, thanks to your truly rigorous
class!! I honestly appreciate the hard work and high expectations you hold over
our heads. I have never worked so hard re: ‘esoterica’ before, and the pay
off so far has been amazing. I can feel my little tarot brain expanding.” “I
have learned tons, and while I'm a long way from ever being a professional
reader I've really learned how the symbols and elements in the cards speak for
themselves.” “I've
thoroughly enjoyed every bit (of the course) … and have come much, much
farther in my own personal understanding of the cards, their symbolism,
meanings, different interpretations, and how to really get the most out of a
reading.” “I
would recommend this class to anyone!” “I
feel like I got some really good groundwork to start building from….I like how
you (taught us to) come up with our own interpretations and trust our
instincts.” “Interactive
aspect was great. The way you showed us how to interpret by what the card holds
is very helpful. Thanks Joy!” “Joy
is an excellent instructor. What most impressed me was the creativity of the
exercises she used to convey the concepts that we used in class. She
incorporated mythology, practical everyday knowledge, and intuition into her
teaching methods, and was effective in communicating those insights into her
class. Her classes are also energizing and challenging.” “I’ve
read before, and the class continued to provide new insights into the tarot.” “Instructor
had some information not available in books I have read.”
re:
Group Facilitation
“Creative” “Challenging” “Fun” “Thought-provoking”
“Lively”
“Experiential”“Joy
did an amazing job as always of keeping the group focused while still allowing
space for everyone to express themselves.” “Always
lots of new information - challenging, intriguing, delicious food for
thought.” “Excellent
excellent excellent! Joy put together another original and evocative session!
Rocks!” “Yet
another amazing evening which opened up new dimensions on the cards and
ourselves, with lots of lively discussion.” “I
got a chance to try the full spread in earnest, and I've finally realized how
well-constructed it is. I've struggled with getting some cohesion in my readings
in the past, but the logic and grace of this one clicked nearly immediately.
It's very easy to see the interrelatedness of all the positions, probably by way
of the radial configuration. It was a profound realization for me
personally…” “Joy
always has something interesting and fun planned” “I'm
learning so much... I think my brain has swollen from the overload!” “Like
the King of Pentacles, Joy's healthy roots and prominent tarot accomplishments
make for uncompromising, depthful quality in meetings that are fun,
entertaining, and thought-provoking. Not glorious. . .but grand simplicity with
strength and wit and directness! Did I say creative? Love it!” “Intuitive,
insightful, thorough, and well-organized as usual! Joy does a wonderful job, and
always has applications and meditations I find very useful and conducive to
further exploration.” “Joy
is just an incredible resource on Tarot. She knows it with such depth, and has
such a burning passion to teach it!” “Joy's
warmth and richness of learning are delightful. She has given some amazing
presentations, and knows how to make the information stick in the memory by
experiential methods. She is named appropriately, because she brings joy by just
being there.”
re:
Readings
“Compassionate”
“Accurate”
“Helpful” “Intuitive” “Insightful” “Thanks
so much for doing our readings the other night! I needed to hear some of those
things.” “Joy
has been reading Tarot for me for years. I have always had phone readings
because we are 1000 miles apart. Her
readings have always been amazingly accurate for me.
Whether it is about money, a job, or my love life she always has very
astute insight into the inner workings of my life. She also often recommends follow-up action that is very
helpful. I would highly recommend her to everyone who wants a fresh perspective
on their life issues.” “I
have known Joy for over 5 years, and her tarot readings are told with intuitive
intelligence. She presents her readings in a story manner, which helps to
show a full circle perspective to the concern or question. She also pulls
from all doctrines, kabbalah, Druidry, Wicca, Christianity to help you
understand the story. Not only do I come away having a better
understanding of the question or concern, I also learn about the cards and how
universal, no matter what the doctrine, the messages are that they teach.” “You provided me with some confirmation and insights that were very helpful. A lot of people can read cards. Not nearly as many can read into someone's heart (energy) with the level of sensitivity and compassion you have.”
