Insight is more valuable than prediction.
Back in 2011, I felt a strong prompting to create a deck of oracle cards to read with. At the time I had no idea that there was a whole industry devoted to this, and when I found out, I quickly decided to bypass that industry for the time being. I created my deck and began reading with it - first for myself, then for a few friends and a group of very encouraging Tarot enthusiasts. One thing led to another and I have been doing readings by email ever since. I have had my deck professionally printed, but for now it is my tool and not for sale. I'd love to do a reading for you!
One of the hardest things, if you do something like readings, is to explain it.
I hope this helps to explain my attitude toward this work.
Sometimes it's hard to know whether we're on the right track - with our careers, with our long term plans, with our choice of projects, and with our relationships with others. I wish I could tell you that there are easy answers, but you already know that this isn't the case. Do we "follow our hearts" or "do our duty"? Should we choose the safe options or take a leap into the unknown?
Life is complex and unpredictable. Yes, I do card readings, but I don't deal in predictions, and here's why. Life can be unpredictable, but mostly it isn't! It's so predictable that you really don't need me to tell you what's going to happen. If you keep doing what you always do, yeah, that's right -- you're probably going to keep on getting more of what you're already getting.
Oracle readings: they're about perspective.
Sometimes, it's the complexity of life which keeps us stuck in doing what we always do and getting what we always get. We can't see the forest for the trees. What does that really mean? It's about perspective, about angle, and this is where I believe a reading, and a little help from me to interpret that reading, if you like, can really help. I believe that what the cards do best, at least in my hands, is to give us a fresh angle on things, and when we have that, sometimes it's much easier to break down the walls of fear, or stuckness, or whatever.
If we can get a bird's eye view of the forest, then we can see whether it's a mere two hour hike to get out of there, or whether it's a major journey. We can get a better idea of whether our little forest is the best place for us in our current landscape, or whether the grass really is greener. Likewise, we get a better understanding of our internal landscape. The cards encourage us to look at ourselves in new ways. Like the trees that may obscure our view of the forest as a whole, the labels we put on ourselves, such as "poor", "too old", or "tied down" can get in the way of seeing who we really are.
Believe me when I say that insight into the present is of more value than a prediction of the future. Believe me when I say that understanding yourself is absolutely the best place to begin when trying to change your circumstances. There is no other place to begin, because we mostly create our own reality.
What to expect when you book a reading
When you book a reading with me, PayPal lets me know about this, and I will send you an email (usually within 24 hours) to make contact. The first thing I'll ask you is whether you want a "cold" reading, where you choose not to share any information with me, or whether you want to give your reading a focus, in which case you can tell me whatever you want me to know. There are advantages to both approaches. Once I hear back from you, I can get started. If will let you know when to expect to hear back from me.
I don't do spreads. Instead I draw one card as your initial reading, and I will give you some quite detailed thoughts about the general meaning of the card, plus any impressions I have about how it applies to you, personally. (Very occasionally, I may draw a second card, especially if the reading is about a relationship between two beings - human or animal.) However, this isn't necessarily the end of the reading. If you need some clarification, you are invited to get back to me, at no extra cost, and I'll draw another card, and the reading becomes a kind of dialogue. We may repeat this process a few times, until you feel that we're done. I find that clients are pretty good at identifying that point, and so far, no one has taken advantage of me.

Who am I? I'm Kris Hughes and I am a native of SE Colorado, currently living in the Pacific Northwest. I spent 25 years of my adult life in Scotland, where I worked as a musician and music teacher, specialising in Scottish traditional music. I love cats and horses, I have a lifelong interest in the arts, in understanding nature and animals, and in the spiritual, mystical and metaphysical aspects of life. I see that many others are drawn to a similar mix, and they may wonder what use it ultimately is. How can we weave the beautiful, the mystical and the natural into something that moves us forward? I believe that what I do in my readings offers us one approach.
My oracle deck is based on nature and the countryside of Scotland and the British Isles. Plants, animals, aspects of the weather and rural landscape are all represented. During the time that I lived in Scotland, I was involved with these things on a daily basis. My cards are not based on other systems of divination, lore or interpretation. They are unique to me. The image on each card is connected to a web of associations, from personal experience, study of nature and rural life, and from my lifelong interest in folklore and mythology, then distilled to certain essential aspects.
My readings are intended for your personal and spiritual growth, which will help you to arrive at answers to your questions. The material in the reading generally requires some quiet contemplation on your part, to receive its real benefit. As such, my readings are well suited to the bigger questions in life - "Why am I here?" "Is it time I made some fundamental changes?" "Why do I feel stuck?" and so on. They can also be helpful in clarifying your career path, understanding relationships and many other things, as long as you are interested in approaching this by better understanding yourself.

How/why does this work? Although I draw the cards from the deck seemingly "at random" I believe that there is a higher energy at work, which causes each individual to get the cards they need. I also believe that a higher energy helps to guide me through delivering your reading. I do get flashes of intuition or empathy during readings, but I am not in a trance, or what some might call a clairvoyant. The vast majority of my clients are very happy with their reading. The tell me that their reading resonates deeply with them, and most tell me that it tends to make even more sense after they have spent some time contemplating it - perhaps over a period of weeks. However, if you get a reading from me, and feel it was a "dud" I want to know, and will try to make things right with you.

Readings on relationships between humans and their animal friends.
Like many people my life has been filled by loving and living with animals, and I've been an avid student of training methods that draw on the behaviour of our pets' wild counterparts. It seemed a natural progression to offer readings for people who seek to deepen their understanding of their animal companions. Really, these readings are not different in approach than the ones I do on other topics, and I do no operate as an "animal communicator". However, these readings are a special area of interest and expertise that I offer.
