Man, lemme tell ya, life throws some curveballs, right? A while back, I was just spinning my wheels, feeling totally stuck on a few things. Work wasn’t really flowing, personal stuff felt a bit messy, and I just couldn’t see a clear path forward. You know that feeling when you’re just trawling the internet, looking for… something? Anything to click with, to give you a nudge?
I’ve always been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to, well, anything you can’t touch. But desperation makes you do funny things. I’d seen a few friends talk about tarot, mostly as a laugh, but some seemed to genuinely get something out of it. One day, I saw a post pop up about this Alicia Galvan, a tarot reader online. Usually, I’d scroll right past. But this time, something made me pause. It wasn’t some flashy ad, just a simple testimonial from someone who sounded genuinely helped. And you know, when you’re that lost, even a tiny flicker of hope feels like a huge spotlight.
I debated it for a good week. My brain was screaming, “Come on, dude, it’s just cards! You gonna pay someone to shuffle cards on Zoom?” But the other part of me, the one that was really craving some sort of clarity, kept pushing. I figured, what’s the worst that could happen? A wasted few bucks? I’d spent more on bad takeout. So, I bit the bullet.
First step was finding her site. It was pretty straightforward, no crazy bells and whistles. I found her booking page and saw she had a few different options. I wasn’t sure what to go for, so I picked a general reading, maybe a 30-minute slot. Figured that was enough to dip my toes in without committing too much. I filled out a simple form, picked a time slot that worked with my crazy schedule, and then hit ‘confirm’. Payment was easy, just a regular online transaction, nothing sketchy. Got an email confirmation pretty quick with the Zoom link for our session. That was it. The die was cast, as they say.
Stepping Into the Unknown Online
The day of the reading rolled around, and I gotta admit, I was a bundle of nerves. A mix of anticipation and “what the hell am I doing?” I hopped on the Zoom call right on time. Alicia showed up, and she was just… normal. Not some mystical guru with crystals hanging everywhere, just a warm smile and a calm vibe. That immediately put me at ease. We did a quick hello, and then she asked me if I had any specific areas I wanted to focus on, or if I just wanted a general pull. I mumbled something about needing some direction in my career and generally feeling a bit adrift. She just nodded, no judgment, just a gentle understanding.
Then she started shuffling her deck, right there on screen. It was actually kinda mesmerizing. She talked a bit about grounding herself, about setting intentions, and then she started laying out the cards. It wasn’t just a quick draw and read. She explained each card as it came up, telling me what it generally represented, and then she’d connect it back to what I’d told her. It wasn’t like she was telling me my future, more like she was holding up a mirror to my own thoughts and feelings, and then showing me how those might play out or what I needed to pay attention to.
Some of the things she said, man, they hit hard. Not in a bad way, but like she was verbalizing stuff I’d been thinking but hadn’t quite put into words. She talked about a “Tower moment” coming up in my professional life, suggesting it would feel disruptive but ultimately lead to a stronger foundation. I was like, “Uh-huh, totally, my job feels like it’s about to crumble.” And then she linked it to a “Strength” card, saying I had the inner resilience to handle it, even if it felt tough. It wasn’t about predicting specific events, but more about understanding the energies around me and how I could best navigate them.
The Real Takeaways
By the end of the 30 minutes, I felt… lighter. Not like all my problems were magically solved, but like I had a clearer map. She gave me things to think about, not just vague advice, but actual points of introspection. Things like, “Are you truly aligned with your current path, or are you just going through the motions?” and “What small steps can you take to reclaim your personal power?”
I walked away from that session, or rather, I closed my laptop, feeling a genuine shift. It wasn’t some magic spell, you know? It was more like someone held space for me, listened, and then offered a new perspective using these ancient symbols. It helped me connect dots I hadn’t connected myself. Over the next few weeks, I started applying some of those insights. I actually initiated some tough conversations at work, something I’d been putting off forever, and guess what? That “Tower moment” she talked about totally happened, but because I was somewhat prepared for it, it didn’t feel like a catastrophe. It felt like a necessary change.
So, yeah, I started off a total skeptic, ready to scoff. But my experience with Alicia Galvan really opened my eyes. It wasn’t about fortune-telling; it was about gaining clarity and trusting my own intuition, amplified by her guidance. If you’re ever feeling lost, feeling like you need a fresh perspective, I honestly gotta tell you, giving her a shot might just surprise you. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to help you see your own path a little clearer.
