I.
Rosalie
Grandmother · Baton Rouge
Learned to read from her aunt. Never charged a soul. Kept the deck in a tin under the sink.
About
I'm Yvie.
Third at this table.
My grandmother read cards in a kitchen in Baton Rouge for anyone who knocked. My mother turned it into a practice. I turned it into a company — Nostalgic Productions — because the work deserved a real home.
I've been reading professionally for twelve years and unofficially for a lot longer than that. The style is direct because softening a truth doesn't make it kinder; it just makes it useless.
I don't do curses. I don't do "energy cleanses." I don't tell you what you want to hear. What I do is sit with you, pull cards, and say the thing.
The lineage
Three women. One deck.
II.
Cordelia
Mother · New Orleans
Took the practice public in 1994. Ran readings out of a two-room shop on Magazine Street for twenty years.
III.
Yvie
Reader · Everywhere
Third generation. Same deck, new candles. Available in person and by video, worldwide.
What I believe
Four rules of the table.
- 01
The cards don't predict. They reveal.
You are already in motion. My job is to hold up a mirror at the exact right angle so you can see what you've been avoiding.
- 02
Softening a truth doesn't make it kinder.
It just makes it forgettable. I'll deliver the hard part with care — but I will deliver it.
- 03
No fear-selling.
I don't hint at curses to book a follow-up. If something is uncomfortable, we name it and move through it.
- 04
This is a real trade.
Reading is a craft. Twelve years of full-time practice, one family, one deck kept in the same tin my grandmother kept it in.
