“Chock Full of Ranty Goodness! An opinion in every bite” – Thalassa

Donnaleigh

Radio podcast personality, professional tarot reader & psychic artist with a gentle reading style.

Ginny Hunt

Ginny Hunt is a Professional Tarot Reader from Maryland. Her interest in the spiritual and metaphysical has been a lifelong passion. She has been a practicing counselor, both professionally with adolescents and para-professionally as a volunteer with abused women. She offers professional reading services through 78 Notes to Self.

Storm Cestivani

Storm Cestavani is a Celebrity Psychic that has been reading professionally for nearly twenty-five years and has amassed great skill at the divinatory arts, such as Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Empathy, Astrology, Dreams, Channeling, Numerology, Past Lives, Automatic Writing, and Tarot.

Storm gained international notoriety as the former radio host for syndicated talk show Psychic Friends Live. He appeared in five infomercials for the Psychic Friends Network, reading for star Dionne Warwick on the show, and has been seen on a number of television and radio shows like:

* Jenny Jones * Montel Williams * Rikki Lake * Latifa! *Cinemax * HBO * The Real World * Showtime * CNN * NBC News Style. * E! * Howard Stern * Extra! * Art Bell * Travel Channel * Blind Date* *Oprah*

Thalassa

Thalassa is the producer of the San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium – the oldest established, permanent floating Tarot Symposium in the world (actually, the longest continuously produced Tarot event) and founder of the Daughters of Divination (DOD). She has been living, working and playing with the Tarot for more than 40 years (she was an infant prodigy).

She is also active in the production of Pagan and Divination events across the country, and her writing has been published in a wide range of publications, including the Llewellyn Tarot Reader almanacs since their inception. She has been involved in standup comedy, choreography, and stage management, and currently teaches improvisation and physical characterization for performers of Renaissance and Victorian festivals.

Her other interests include historical recreation, needlework, and plotting global domination. Thalassa lives in San Francisco with her long-suffering husband, a herd of semi-feral dustbunnies, a sword collection, and more Tarot cards than is safe to assemble in one place. She is working on a book (on Tarot, of all things).
