Job diary: I've been a professional tarot card reader for over 20 years — here's what my days are like
Patti Woods
- Patti Woods, 49, has been a professional tarot card reader for over 20 years.
- Although she stopped holding in-person sessions during the pandemic, she says people are still reaching out to her for virtual readings.
- She charges $50 for a half-hour session and works out of a spare room in her home.
- A reputable reader won't tell you that someone in your family is going to die or that there's curse placed on your love life — that's a scam, Woods says.
- Her goal with every reading is to make sure the client feels some sense of hope.

I got my first deck of tarot cards when I was 18 years old. Even as a kid, I was fascinated by mysterious and magical things. My mother used to read our tea leaves for fun and I was always intrigued by how a few leaves bunched together could tell so much about a person.
When I discovered tarot at the age of 12 after my sister brought home some cards, I was immediately hooked. Now I'm 49, and I read the cards every day.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
