My approach to cartomancy weaves an imaginal environment and a map to go through it. Uncover new trails in your very own little realm of space time.
I am currently booking Year Ahead Sessions for 2025 through January 31. Let’s explore the world of your coming year, season-by-season, with the magic of Lenormand and Tarot.
I had a reading with Ash & can report that she is truly skillful and hilarious and/but what I think makes Ash such a specifically good diviner is her imagination. What she may describe as wordsaladsounds is actually sensorially perfect, oracular poetry… [the cards were] an invitation to spend time where my imaginal realm and Ash’s imaginal realm could overlap.

Book your session
Year ahead sessions are $144 and 75 minutes long. While I use the same month-by-month and season-by-season format for all clients for the majority of the reading, we will leave at least 15 minutes to explore follow-up questions and create a short spread specific to your goals and dreams.
All sessions are conducted via Zoom, and after your session you will receive both a recording and photographs of the spreads we created for easy future reference.
Booking with me indicates that you agree to my session policies.
Don’t hesitate to email me at ashley@eightofpentacles.com if you have questions. If price is a barrier in particular, please reach out to check in on my sliding scale availability! Please note that I am only booking year-ahead sessions at this time; contact me to get on my email list and receive a notification when my regular books open in February.
The last few months since the session, there have been times where I naturally reflected on what she shared with me through the cards, and it made certain moments easier to pass, and helped me hold more compassion for myself.

What I appreciate about Ashley as a reader is that she easily pivots from her intuitive relationship with divination to responsively and playfully responding to new insights or questions as they naturally arise within the course of the reading. It’s obvious that she has built this relationship with the imagery of Lenormand over many years and there’s a deeply established expertise and trust that is relayed with humor and agility from topic to topic.

My divinatory roots
I have been reading cards since 2016. Lenormand was my first love, with Tarot chasing closely on his heels. I studied Tarot in private mentorship with Lauren Hall here in New England, and over the years my cartomancy influences have included — but certainly not been limited to — the work of Andy Boroveshengra, T. Susan Chang, Rachel Pollack, Camelia Elias, Lindsay Mack, Žhana Levitsky, and Benebell Wen.
My divination practice is heavily informed by personal gnosis, reflection, and imaginal journeying alongside the cards, local Spirits, and ancestral Guides. My particular method of reading the Lenormand and Tarot in combination has been developed through this work. Each deck sings beautifully on their own, but I am repeatedly floored by their ability to harmonize together.
Ash is a truly talented diviner and my reading with her was nothing short of incredible. I’m already planning on booking a follow-up! She was able to answer all of my questions and was honest when some things didn’t have answers. Her unique approach to Tarot and Lenormand isn’t something I had ever seen before and you can tell that she’s embodying her purpose when she does this work.

As above, so below
I am conversant in traditional Hellenistic astrology with my own particular approach to the outer planets centered in both research and personal gnosis. I am deeply passionate about bringing a grounded, animist perspective to the stars, and merging the heavens above with our lives and cycles on earth. While I do not provide chart readings, if you already have some familiarity with your nativity, I am more than happy to incorporate astrological discussion in our reading.
