Tarot Reading FAQs

To help guide you through the process of receiving a Tarot Reading, we've put together some frequently asked questions that will help you understand what to expect and how you can participate in this process.

For those who reside in other countries, RA Martin has used the following modalities to fit her clients’ particular preferences and situations: E-mail readings which include photos and written transcripts of the reading were a staple in the past, but these days, Facetime, WhatsApp and Zoom are the main venues that seem to work for most of her clients.

WhatsApp is free and reliable with photos/recordings, and/or Video for those who would like the visuals in real time. Since the great bulk of RA’s overseas readings come from the United States, time zones vary and are easy enough for her to accommodate. You can download WhatsApp by clicking here.

RA Martin is informed of your purchase immediately. She will contact you via email within 24 hours to schedule your reading.

You will receive a confirmation email (including a link to Tarot Reading instructions) along with a receipt for your purchase.

RA Martin will receive the information you input into the form (including either your particular question or your focus of interests). RA will be in contact, and together you and she will forge an alliance to ensure that you will receive the most comprehensive reading she can offer within the time frame you have chosen. RA Martin is a Clairvoyant/Medium as well as a Tarot reader, thus visions, impressions and psychic hits usually begin filtering in well before the actual reading takes place.

RA will also work with you to determine the easiest way for you to receive your reading (Email, Facetime, Zoom or WhatsApp)

RA Martin asks that you spend some time prior to your session, by meditating and focusing on your particular situation, asking yourself these three questions:

  1. What is my heart’s desire – the dream I hold within?
  2. What is my Soul’s path in the here and now?
  3. What is the greatest challenge/obstacle to reaching my goals in this lifetime?

RA Martin does the layout of the cards in advance of the actual reading so that your time together can be fully focused on the cards drawn in answer to the original question or area of interest.

Often, RA will do additional spreads in real time if the scope of the session calls for it. RA’s mission for her clients (and friends) is that they receive enough clarity and help through the cards and her interpretation of them, to resolve and move through whatever blocks and difficulties that are obstructing their path.

My focus is not only to help you perceive your potential and future goals, but to assist you in conceiving them.

In all respects, confidentiality is the bottom line for RA Martin. She provides a safe, non-judgmental space to share burdens, regrets, past and present traumas etc. RA has lived on this plane long enough and read enough cards to say there isn’t much out there she hasn’t seen or heard by now.

The Soul’s Journey is not an easy one and finding the gift through the “wound” is a viable way home. There is a thread that exists below one’s sight. You and she can follow that thread together.

In France, in the Charente where RA Martin lives and works, there are a number of options to receive an in-person reading at this time. The markets, festivals and fundraisers are ramping up again, and she has been invited to participate in the months ahead.

There will also be opportunities for readings at her home: Chateau de Charras. When the weather is favorable, she will resurrect the Stone Table readings on the grounds. In the inclement weather she will continue her “Summoning the Muse” series in which groups of up to five friends come together to the Chateau for individual readings (relaxing and chatting while waiting for their turn at the cards).

what people say about their readings

To have a tarot reading with Ra is a gift of self-revelation. Her insights offer transformation and awakening to a new way of seeing yourself and life. She is capable of entering a visionary state of being and asks us to enter alongside her. Here we experience Divine Forces at work. Because Ra is a poet as well, her reading of the cards expresses the intuitive with much beauty and depth.

A reading with Ra is life changing!

Alexandra Eldridge - Creator of the Radiant Tarot Deck

I first met RA Martin while on a tarot tour of Italy. The moment I set eyes on her I knew I was meeting someone who understood the art of skillful card divining. It takes just this type of person to make a sitter feel safe, at home and empowered as their greatest fears and desires show up in the cards. RA gently holds this space with strength and integrity and delivers profound and useful insights garnered from years of experience with decks and people.

What impresses me most is her sensitivity to the language of the cards. This is where RA shines. Rather than canned answers, RA poetically translates messages specifically meant for each sitter’s situation. To me this is someone who understands what it means to be a true diviner, which is someone who is dedicated to navigating and delivering the sitter’s highest message. Hermes, messenger of the Gods, clearly shines a favorable light on RA. I highly recommend not one, but several sessions with RA Martin. Doing so will help you achieve your most empowered outcome

Carrie Paris - Creator of LENORMAND REVOLUTION DECK

Before consulting Ra Martin re a writing project, my last consultation re matters of the Spirit was in 1980 with Don Galloway of England. Don’s messages from Spirit were astoundingly accurate and after his death in 2005, I found no other medium I trust- until I met Ra in 2020.

When I first spoke to Ra, I felt a little “ding” that gave me confidence to question her cards through a 7-card spread about the writing project I was working on at that time. With only that, Ra began shuffling her cards and that little ding I’d felt moments before grew into a gong. Every comment Ra made re my writing project was accurate and Messages Ra has brought to me through Spirit during the last year have proven to be as thorough and accurate as those brought by Don Galloway.

I cherish the glimmering memories of the sojourn with Ruthanne as part of the Italy Tarot Tour I led across northern Italy in 2012, exploring early Tarot iconography and its unending evolution. Ruthanne’s ability to interpret symbology was a source of inspiration as she followed trails, taking stunning photographs, capturing the mystique and beauty of our visitations, while amplifying the history and hidden messages of the Cards. She shared insights and empowered others to delve deeper to find truth and resolution. Her inner beauty, reflected by her gift for reading Tarot Cards with tenderness and clarity, have been a source of encouragement to me, as well as countless artists, friends and clients.

Arnell Ando - Silver City, New Mexico

A reading with Ruthanne is like being wrapped in warm cotton wool and fed choc-chip cookies. Yes, she'll always point out the difficult and challenging stuff ahead, but she does it with such kindness, compassion and humour, you'll know you can cope. And with her insight, wisdom and guidance,

you'll be ready for anything. Be prepared for her accuracy, though - I took my young son along to a reading and she said to him: "Wow! Very soon you're going to go on a really fun trip and have an amazing time!" I had to stop her before she innocently revealed the fact that we were about to take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland!

Fiona McCade – Brantome, France

Few true creatives like RA have left brain logic when intuition and clairvoyance reign supreme, but this iconic wonder has it all to give as she pours her heart and soul into seeing our lives.

It takes compassion and empathy to want to be a helper/healer and only those who have walked many paths have the wisdom and open channel to see what we can’t. Open your heart to this goddess-spirit and let her courage and desire to know lead you to a path you may never have noticed. If you can’t trust your intuition or your Self, trust her. She has the strength to guide you and the softness and stillness to walk beside you. What do you want to know? Simply ask, but only if you’re ready, really truly ready, to see through her divine spirit and fly.

Dawn Catherine – Mc Cloud, CA

I have known Ruthanne for twenty years, since we met at a Myth and Theatre Festival in the South of France. At our first meeting, I was struck by her glorious speaking voice. Then I read her poetry and realized she has a magical way with language. As I got to know her, it was clear that Ruthanne is a highly gifted intuitive, and that both her voice and her writing are manifestations of that phenomenon. She instinctively connects with the deep sense of truth that lives in each individual’s body, life history, and ancestry. Most importantly, she hears what you have to say whether you know how to say it or not.

Kate Yust Al-Shamma, Ph.D. - Georgetown University

I cannot speak highly enough about the otherworldly gifts and intuitions of Ra Martin. Her voice alone, when she speaks, is one of the most soothing and calming voices I’ve come across, foreshadowing the loving vibrations and wisdom you are about to experience. She has read many cards for me, and gifted much valuable advice through the trials and joys of my life with stunning insight and with the patience and love only a very old soul could impart.

Her very countenance, her eyes, face, gentle voice embody the “Light”. You can see it and feel it, and my soul is elevated by her mere presence. I’m so grateful to the Universe, that gifted me a flesh and blood “Guide” right here and now on this planet to help me on this life journey whenever I need! Ra is a very rare gift to this planet. I feel so lucky, and I hope everyone can find and experience her!

Christopher R - New York, NY

When in need of advice – especially of the life-saving kind – Ruthanne is the person to turn to. With her profound wisdom, psychic skills, empathy and eye for detail, she reads the Tarot cards like no other. I will be forever grateful to Ruthanne for helping me with several of her readings, using various card decks, through an unexpectedly difficult time, so for any major decision or when I feel stuck or in need of a fresh perspective (plus a good laugh), I know to contact her. Thank you once again for everything, Ruthanne!

Sonja - Germany

In the hands of this exceptionally wise woman the Tarot cards become as windows into the longing of the soul. Bring a sincere and clear question to Ruthanne and let her bring her uncanny gift of reading the cards to help guide you on your way.

Dermot McGuigan – New York, NY

Ruth has been so essential in my healing journey. I’ve been doing tarot readings from her for a few years now, and it’s been so insightful and accurate. I love how she contextualises the reading and walks me through the cards in her beautiful and wise Ruth way. I wasn’t a believer in mysticism but I see truth in her work and it has helped me go on to start my own journey with tarot, which has been enriching. Thank you Ruth for all that you do! You have a special way of tapping into the universe and manifesting it in your readings. Wishing you all the love and good wishes in your journey ahead. www.thealiporepost.com

Ra is a consummate reader of the cards. Always deeply in tune with the person she’s reading for, with great insight and wisdom, she transforms the experience. Every session brings enlightenment. It takes great skill and patience to come to this kind of wisdom and understanding, which she has, in abundance. I greatly admire her work, on every level. A poet, a seer, a wise woman, Ra gives so much to others, takes so little for herself. I feel privileged to know her, and to know that I can call on her anytime confusion or crisis needs spiritual resolution. www.mishibellamy.net

I feel so lucky to have been gifted with the pleasure of meeting Ruthanne . She is a rare beautiful talent. From the moment we started working together I felt relaxed and at ease. Ruthanne has a very natural way with words & empathetically supportive. Her emotional intelligence is on another level.

Apart from the fact she has the most soothing voice I've ever heard, she has a warmth and knowing that is spot on. When you work with someone like Ruthanne she gives you everything. Her years of experience and knowledge are invaluable. She really takes in what you are saying and instinctually delivers.

I cannot recommend this earth angel highly enough. I will forever be grateful for how she helped me to learn & grow and recognise myself on another level. Thankyou!.

Victoria Hockley – London, UK

My reading with Ra was the first I had ever had, so I went into it not knowing what to expect. Within minutes I had chills - card after card my past was spelled out for me. I have had a difficult past that not many people know about, but it was as if Ra was looking into my soul. The more we continued the more aligned my reading became.

Not only did my reading address my past and present struggles, but also what was holding me back from achieving my best self and future happiness. It brought me awareness to the interconnections of my past, present and future. The reading did not “magically” heal me, but it gave me the tools to heal myself and to understand my soul on a deeper level. It was as if Ra opened my eyes inward. Those few minutes were life changing and I can’t wait until my next reading!

Ra is a lovely soul-kind, warm-hearted and intuitive. Her reading is direct, clear, and most importantly accurate. I strongly recommend her!

Aurelie - London, UK

I first met RA about 10 years ago through my work as a holistic and beauty therapist when she came for a treatment. I found her to be one of the most spiritual & knowledgeable persons I have come across. After learning of her Tarot/Oracle readings, I knew many of my clients would be interested in having readings. I arranged a fundraising day for an animal shelter & RA read cards for around 30 people - A huge success! Yet, I still hadn’t had my own cards read.

Later on, I had a tragic loss which RA did not know about as she was traveling in USA. When I saw her, I asked for a reading. First card "WOW"...she said, "you have met the love of your life"..."you kept that quiet"- she turned the next card and it was the Death card, she stared and said..."oh, dear" and before she said another word, she saw the look on my face as the tears came flooding. Since then, RA has been a big part of my life. Any decisions I need to make I run them first by my wonderful spiritual friend. Thank you for your guidance, RA.

Ruthanne has a huge gift as a Tarot reader. She knows the cards so well and her ability to use beautiful language to describe the symbols amazes. She gets it right.

Donna Eaglesmith - Santa Fe, New Mexico

The Wisdom of Experience, The blessing of the Celestial Gift, the Voice of Angels and Guides, the Preciousness of Time, The Beauty of Eternity, The Support of Heaven, and the Truth of The Divine Feminine. I couldn't be in safer hands! Thank You Ra!"

RA has such grace and warmheartedness in her art/life work with Tarot. The readings she's done for me were illuminated by her knowledge of the cards which held for me a poetic perspective. There's the steadiness of one's own nature underfoot; and there were aha moments that lit awareness

Kim Mott - Idaho, US

I had my cards read by Ruthanne on a few different occasions. Her timeless wisdom and beautiful warmth is what enticed me back into the chair opposite her as she read my cards with a wealth of compassion, truth and groundedness. Ruthanne is truly a unique individual, deeply connected to earth and soul and it is through this profound connection that she holds the space as the cards reveal themselves and the messages are unraveled.

Ruthanne exudes a calm, peaceful energy with a joyfulness of being that immediately puts the 'client' at ease. Her work is solid, insightful and authentic. I look forward to sitting in the chair opposite her again as she interprets the cards with her gentle ease and profound insight.

Carolyn Farmer - Ireland

Over the 7 years I’ve known Ruthanne, myself & many of my closest family and friends have received life changing readings, insights and encouragement, which have helped them make better choices as well as make sense of what is happening – both to them and those around them. They continue to return for readings whenever the need for guidance arises. I understood very quickly, whatever way the cards fell, her integrity, experience, intuition and spirituality are strongly connected to a universal, divine energy. Her guidance is invaluable and unique, completely professional and trustworthy. And as a bonus she has a lovely sense of humor and uplifting voice.

Sara Ashley - London, UK

Ruthanne will gently touch and open your heart to your divine truth. Her intuitive sharing of wisdom, photography, poetry and insights always takes my breath away because it nurtures a place so deep in myself, which I have a hard time accessing. RA is a divine spiritual teacher and makes our journey Sparkle with light and presence. She is a life tapestry weaver who elegantly puts the jigsaw puzzle of our lives into order, creating a new direction of truth. She is Awesome - full of love, devotion and light.

Christine Tharnstrom - Wisconsin

Sitting down to have my cards read with Ruthanne has a way of transporting me to new breadth of living with my circumstances. Her lovely presence softens concerns about what might be revealed amid questions sometimes tangled up in blue. The cards are lovely and mysterious,but RA dips below the surface in her apprehension of us. She gently reads you AND the cards, shedding light into the depths, the center of it all, in a way that informs, affirms and respects. I am left with a feeling of having more room to navigate, even the difficult or mysterious bits, my sense of self supported and broadened in this moment in time.

Jeanne Courtney - California

This gorgeous display of foretelling revelry was chosen by the Divine powers of one, Ra, on my behalf and channeled all the way across the Atlantic Ocean like the Goddess 'Nestis' bridging the waves between continents! Lucky are the ones who cross Ra's path, as she imparts both resolution and blessings within each reading she gives. With great anticipation of the unfolding of all of our futures, it is my hope that we collectively revel in all RA brings to her table. I am a witness in Awe and Gratitude.

Caller Haller - Florida

Like Pallas Athena, RA Martin gathers invisible threads to spin and weave with genius an ever-unfolding tapestry illuminating our most noble inner forces and setting us free. As Owl Whisperer, Ruthanne’s gifts of divine inspiration and interpretation are shared whenever she opens the mysteries and speaks soul to soul. Those of us most fortunate to be beneficiaries of her Tarot readings, Poetic Writings, and Fine Arts accomplishments, bow in gratitude. She is my North Star. Given any opportunity to be in the presence of this glorious woman, carpe diem and celebrate.

Dale Perigoe - Astrologer - Canada

I am delighted to offer a few words about Ruthanne and the depth, experience and skill present in the readings she has done for me. I would not be an easy client as I am frequently lost in expressing my thoughts. Luckily, RA demonstrated imagination, patience, generosity and kindness that helped make my experience valuable and memorable. I am most appreciative. Divining questions that bring insight and knowledge is not always easy for those who are conscious of trauma. I would trust RA to help in this regard and do so with the highest degree of professional skill, authenticity, and humor. That is why I am looking forward to following up with her as soon as I “get my sh*$ together or relax long enough to “let the good things happen. A reading with RA is one of those good things.
