Introduction by Chris Bennett
Hello, I’m Chris Bennett, a world-renowned tarot reader and psychic medium.
Today, I’m honored to write as a guest blogger for my dear friend Kate, the brilliant mind behind Astarte's Temple, the best metaphysical shop for witches online.
Kate has created a haven for those drawn to the magical and metaphysical, and it’s a privilege to share my story and passion for tarot on her platform.
The Power of Tarot: A Lifelong Dedication to Insight and Connection
"An Unexpected Gift That Changed My Life Forever"
Imagine growing up in a devoutly Catholic household where a tarot deck finds its way into the hands of a curious child. That was my introduction to tarot—a Christmas gift nestled among the usual art supplies, books and a Johnny Cash album.
My parents, despite their strong faith, supported my explorations into the unknown.
The tarot cards were mesmerizing, their intricate designs sparking a curiosity that would linger for decades.
As a teenager, I ventured beyond tarot cards
Experimenting with clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic practices.
It wasn’t until my late twenties that I recognized the profound depth tarot held—not merely as a collection of cards but as a conduit for intuitive readings and meaningful connections.
Today, as an internationally acclaimed tarot reader, I see tarot as an art form that transcends fortune-telling.
It becomes a space for healing, clarity, and transformation, weaving together spirituality and empathy to guide others toward their best selves.

"A Tarot Reading That Left Me Speechless"
Sometimes, tarot sessions reveal more than expected.
One particular session remains vivid in my memory—not because of the cards but because of the client. He seemed ordinary, polite, and somewhat reserved.
The reading began with typical themes—career, relationships, and personal growth—but quickly took a darker turn.
Images of loss, forgiveness, and closure began to emerge through the cards.
I asked, “What does the letter ‘B’ and white roses mean to you?”
His reaction was immediate and visceral—he confessed to being involved in someone’s death.
It was a moment of raw honesty, where the cards uncovered the weight he carried.
Through that session, we discussed accountability and how acts of service—volunteering, helping others—could honor the life lost.
Tarot, in this instance, became a catalyst for reflection and change, proving its ability to guide even in the darkest circumstances.

"What Makes a Reading Sacred?"
Creating the right atmosphere for a psychic session is an essential part of the experience. Before every reading, I take deliberate steps to align my energy and open myself to intuition.
This includes meditative rituals, candlelight, and herbal teas like mugwort and lemon balm, which enhance focus and calm the mind.
For me, spiritual readings are about more than the cards themselves—they’re about creating a sacred space where clients feel supported and heard.
The ambiance, whether online or in-person, fosters an environment where intuition flows naturally, enabling a profound psychic and medium connection.

"Tarot and the Mystery of Synchronicity"
In the world of tarot, patterns often emerge that defy explanation. Imagine drawing the same card for multiple clients over weeks—or having a returning client see the exact same spread months later.
These moments of synchronicity remind me that tarot is not random; it’s a dynamic force that mirrors the deeper rhythms of life.
As a spiritual medium and clairvoyant, I’ve come to trust these patterns as signposts of something greater at work.
Synchronicity within tarot reveals interconnected truths that transcend the individual, offering insights that resonate universally.

"Healing Messages from Beyond"
One of the most moving moments in my career came during a reading with a woman grieving her late husband. The Death card appeared—not as a harbinger of endings, but as a sign of transformation.
Through the cards, her husband conveyed a message of love and permission to move forward - a blessing from beyond the grave. She later shared that she had asked him for this exact sign before meeting me. We both got quite emotional.
Tarot often bridges the realms of the living and the departed, offering comfort, closure, and spiritual readings that heal.
In moments like these, I am reminded of why I chose this path: to be a guide and a witness to the power of love and connection, even beyond this life.

"Exploring Shadow Work Through Tarot"
Tarot doesn’t shy away from the truths we’d rather avoid. In fact, its power lies in its ability to reflect our hidden selves. Cards like the Moon, the Tower, and the Devil challenge us to confront fears and embrace transformation.
Shadow work, facilitated through tarot, allows us to integrate the parts of ourselves we suppress.
This process, though uncomfortable, leads to profound clarity and growth.
As a genuine psychic and evidential medium, I often guide clients through these revelations, helping them find strength in vulnerability.
