About
Hi, I'm William Van Horne-

You may have landed on my website for a reason... Sometimes we can all use some friendly insight into our problems or a little help getting 'unstuck' in life.  I provide authentic Tarot readings that can help.  When you ask a question, I use my intuition and training in various Tarot traditions to interpret the message in a spread of cards. Then I send you a photo of the spread and a detailed written explanation of the message, including the card meanings. 


I don't use readings for fortune-telling or to predict the future. Tarot readings work best to give us insights and help us think about something in new ways, to make connections we haven't seen, and to develop new perspectives. A reading can provide insight about life situations such as work, personal projects, relationships, interpersonal situations, etc. If you are on a spiritual path in your life or are working on developing yourself in some way, a Tarot reading can also be helpful. 

You can get a a little idea of my reading style by following my free 'card of the day' readings on the Bluesky app- my handle is ‪@3candlestarot.bsky.social . Or you can click the social link at the top right of this website. You can also try me out by purchasing an inexpensive Single Card reading from my Etsy store. Click on any of the links on the 'To Order" page to go to the store. You can also message me with questions at my Etsy store.

Thanks for visiting my site and please let me know if I can read for you.

3 Card Reading

This is the most common reading requested. Despite using just 3 cards it provides a large amount of insight into questions and queries and is usually all that is needed. Although 3 cards usually suffice, I may draw one or more additional cards during the reading to provide necessary clarity or information if I need it. I also always draw a bonus card at the end of the reading and ask for additional clarity about the reading. This is included in the original price. Order the reading and see my reasonable pricing at my Etsy store by clicking the link below.

Single Card Reading

If you want a quick, focused response or a fast reply, the single card reading is for you. If you are new to the site, it is also a great way to do an inexpensive trial reading to see if my reading style is helpful and resonates with you. Order the reading and see my reasonable pricing at my Etsy store by clicking the link below.

Extended Spread Reading

An extended spread involves multiple draws to refine understanding of the reading. I perform an initial 3 card spread. I build on this with another 3 card spread asking for insight into factors affecting the initial draw, and a third 3 card spread asking about outcomes. Again, there is a final bonus card drawn asking for additional clarity. If you need deep insight into an issue this may provide the knowledge you need.

About my Tarot readings:

Instead of forcing cards into predetermined categories, like past, present, future,  I use an open reading method.  This means that I let the interactions between cards in the spread determine not only the individual card meaning but the overall meaning of the spread. I find this method dynamic and it produces much more meaningful readings.

 Sometimes the meaning of a reading will be clear to you immediately. Sometimes it may not, but it will rattle around in your mind for a while. Then you’ll either figure it out by thinking it through or your subconscious will do it for you and you'll have a realization. This might take a few hours, days, or even weeks. We all would prefer instant gratification, but in these cases you just have to relax and be patient. For this reason, you shouldn't have readings too frequently. It's usually best to wait a few weeks so that the meaning becomes clear before having another reading, should you desire one. Sometimes, if you have a follow-up question based on a reading, a second reading soon after the initial reading to gain clarification may be appropriate. Frequent readings one after the other are counterproductive, since you don’t have time to think about the information and apply it to your situation and have the results play out.

If you feel you are in a serious life crisis you might be better served talking to a family member or friend, or religious or professional counselor, or even a crisis line if necessary, rather than requesting overly-frequent readings.  Tarot readings are a helpful tool, but shouldn’t be a substitute for getting the help we need when we need it. We all go through rough patches when it is necessary to reach out to other people :-) Please take care of yourself first and foremost.

One last thing- the clarity of a reading is also tied to the clarity of your query. A clear, direct inquiry helps in getting clear guidance. Also, some brief context about why you are asking the question helps me to understand how the message in the cards applies to your query. A vague question and absence of context means that all I can give you is a general idea of what the cards are saying. 

How Do I Request A Reading?
You can request a reading on my Etsy Site 3CandlesTarot All financial transactions, response times, and communication regarding the reading are available through Etsy.
Is there any way I can get a sense your reading style?
There are two ways:
1) You can follow my Bluesky social media account for free: @3candlestarot.bsky.social‬ or click on the social media link at the top right of this website.

Every day I perform a reading and ask "What guidance do we all need today." I post an image of the card and provide a brief reading for us all (within the character limit of the social app).  You can get a little sense of my style of readings.
2) You can purchase a Single Card reading from me, which doesn't cost much, gives you some quick insight, and gives you a sense of whether my readings are a fit for you.
What can I expect from a reading?
Tarot readings work best to help us think about something in new ways, to make connections we haven't seen, and to develop new insights and perspectives. I don't provide readings for fortune-telling or to predict the future. If you are on a spiritual path in your life or are working on developing yourself in some way, a Tarot reading can be helpful to give you a perspective or insight.  A reading can also provide perspectives about life situations, such as work, personal projects, relationships, interpersonal situations, etc.
