Greetings! My name is Jo-Anne Penn-Kast, but you can call me Jo. I'm not a psychic (I don't think), nor a mystical guru, and I don't do card tricks. In fact, I'm more than usually ordinary. But I do have extraordinary hope for the future because I've learned to see things differently -- and so can you.

I hold degrees in the social and anthropological sciences, am professionally certified by the American Tarot Association and have an insatiable hunger for making meaningful and empirical connections.

My ongoing work to scientifically untangle the Tarot continues to lift the occult veil from its long history of use as an exploitive fortune-telling parlor trick cloaked in esoteric mystery. And my goal is to link the co-creative mysteries of the universe and the mysteries of the heart, and to superimpose their naturally symmetrical, geometric patterns and conspicuous absences over the living kaleidoscope of our common experiences.

The mission: To unravel and translate its underlying universal language and uncover the enduring truth embedded in the Tarot. This, in order to gain a better understanding of our unique, reciprocal observer/participant role in predicting, and thus shaping, a more sustainable, rewarding life in the unfolding process.

The purpose: To make tarot accessible by anyone, anytime as a valid, practical, and predictive tool for personal exploration, confidence boosting, and empowered decision making. In other words, I want to help you get what you really want out of life and put the zest back into your quest. It worked for me and I know it can work for you too.
