I.
The great-grandmothers
Originators · Northern New Mexico
The line runs back generations before it had a name — starting with my grandmother's grandmother's mother. They read at kitchen tables, for family, for neighbors, never for money.
About
I'm Yvie.
Third at this table.
My grandmother Sally read cards in a kitchen in Española, New Mexico. The lineage didn't start with her — it started generations back, with her grandmother's mother, and the great-grandmothers who read after that. It skipped my mother Olivia, who kept the deck but never turned a card. It didn't skip me.
I've been reading officially for a little over a year and unofficially for years before that — pulling cards for myself, for family, for anyone who sat still long enough. 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.
Sally
Grandmother · Española, NM
Learned from the women who came before. Kept the deck close her whole life. The reason I know what a real read sounds like.
III.
Yvie
Reader · Present
Third generation to sit at the table. Officially reading a little over a year, unofficially years longer. Available by video and in person in New Mexico.
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.
