Intuitive Charm: Free Reading and a Lesson

Posted on January 16, 2025 by jennaroberts

It delights me when someone witnesses their own inherent ability to be more psychic.

We all have innate gift, we simply need to learn the ways to better access it.

Today, I offer a free reading in charms with a lesson in interpreting. I will share the message I see, and I also welcome you to answer the questions to sort out your own clarity from the spread.

Also, if you have not yet told me, let me know when you would be most available to join the live online Art of Tarot Course that I will be leading in May.

This winter, the team of professionals at Portlandia Fortune Tellers will lead two-hour lessons in various fields of the esoteric arts.

The 2nd Sunday of every month we will offer classes both online and in-person in Portland.

Times are still to be determined, but mark your calendars for the afternoons on these dates:

Feb 9th: Jenna: Clairvoyance Skills

March 9th: Sacha: Palmistry

April 13th: Anna: Communicate with Your Spirit Guides

May 11th: Lynda: Charms Divination

June 8th: Heather: 4 Pillars of Astrology

My lesson below is a taste of how we can explore intuition coaching when you get a personal session with me.

This is a great time of year to get a personal tarot reading or bring in a companion for a Tarot Together reading.

Scroll on for a free divination message and lesson in reading charms for yourself!

Trust Your Instincts,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Before you read my interpretation of this charm casting, I want you to ask yourself the following.

Click or zoom in on the image to make it bigger if you need.

What charm catches your eye first in this spread?

Let yourself linger on the first thing you see and allow clarity to come through without trying too hard at first.

What messages do I see here in word and charm combos?

Some of the charms are unclear. If you misinterpret what a symbol is, no matter. Go with what you see anyhow.

How does each charm interact with the word box(es) it landed on?

How are these words relevant to YOU right now in particular?

How does the alignment or angle or placement of that charm change it’s meaning?

Is it upside down, sideways, or reversed? Does that change how you would consider this symbol’s meaning?

What if the words were gone and it was only charms? How would that add or update the initial reading?

Sometimes we need to just look at the symbols on their own.

Consider these questions for a bit before you read my own take on it.

Jenna’s Charm Reading

I love that the infinity symbol landed right next to “Blessing”, and on a sun. This says that more grace is on it’s way into your life in the days ahead this year.

The first thing that caught my eye was the brain in the bottom right corner of “Family”. It’s flipped over, and I took this as a message to stop overthinking family relationships.

(I also just bought my parents some memory enhancing herbs yesterday, so this might also speak to that for me personally . . . Does it have a unique relevance for you?)

The ear is very close to “Focus”, which reminds me that the art of focus is about listening to yourself and what is happening in the world around you. With how it’s laying flat, I also see this reminding us to lay down and rest and listen to silence to enhance our ability to focus.

That’s after we get our boogie on though! I love that an audio cassette and a dancing fool are flanking the word “Ease”. Dance is incredibly healing, and we need to put on some jams this weekend to let go of the stress more fully.

The owl landed on the line between “Learn” and “Trust”, which seems poignant to it’s own traditional Western meaning. This emphasizes the message that we could perhaps lean into a good teacher or a book of wisdom to gain their insights.

I struggled with the strange circle on the word “Avoid”. Then I realized that the charm itself sort of appears to be a void itself. I flipped it over and the world is on the other side. I take this to mean that we need to stay engaged with our world and not shut it out or become cynical or nihilistic right now. Lean into curiosity for the world around you.

When I look at all the symbols together, I see a positive message about listening and learning and taking in music and dance.

Get out of your head and into your body this weekend!

What did you get from this charm casting? Feel free to email me answers! I love other’s interpretations!

Keep Sunday May 9th in the evening open for a fun class that you could even bring your mom to for Mother’s day!

Enlivened Learning: Take the Poll

Posted on January 9, 2025 by jennaroberts

The last time I taught a full 9-hour Art of Tarot Reading course was in October 2022.

I still plan to shift this into an evergreen online video program. I simply love the magic and connection that a live class online offers, and feel called to bring an opportunity to the community again.

Scroll down to do a survey of when your best times and days would be in the start of May.

Fill out the form below if you would like to learn tarot so I am able to pick the best time frame for you!

Also this winter, the team of readers at Portlandia Fortune Tellers will lead short courses in various fields of divination.

The 2nd Sunday of every month we will offer classes both online and in-person in Portland!

The lineup includes 2-hour classes in Astrology, Palmistry, Spirit Guides, Charm Divination, and Clairvoyant Skill Building.

Perhaps you want a one-on-one session for building your own psychic skills? Set up a personal intuition coaching session to get a personal lesson with me.

If receiving readings is more your flow, reach out to set up a personal tarot reading or bring in a friend for a Tarot Together session.

I hope 2025 is a year of rich learning for you in all the fields that you find curiosity and fulfillment!

Free Reading for 2025

Posted on January 3, 2025 by jennaroberts

Let’s jump right into this year’s Free Tarot Reading with the Fantastic Menagerie deck . . .

We start with the 7 of Swords, which can be a challenging card, but in combination with the others, I see it as an interesting directive.

We each need to strategize in a somewhat sneaky way how we are going to go toward our goals this year. This can be internal: note how you often self-sabotage and come up with some ways to trick yourself out of it. This can be external: choose to play your cards close and . . .

Keep your friends closer with the 3 of Cups. Community is a major feature of the year ahead. Your strategy needs to consider how you include those you trust in your plans. Perhaps an accountability buddy is in order for your resolutions? Perhaps you need to organize a team of support to . . .

Fully Activate your goals in 2025 with the Magician leading you into your sense of empowerment and potential. You have the power to manifest your goals this year. The way the Magician is looking back on the community says to me that it’s best to include their gifts and talents to help this year thrive, even as . . .

The greater systems around us become challenged with the Emporer card reversed. This can reflect your own routines needing a reset to engage with your new potential. This is likely also about Pluto freshly landing in Aquarius. This astrological era of 19 years will likely question the systems and structures we are accustomed to and upheave some of our norms.

With the other cards here, I feel confident that these changes will be making shifts for a better future. It might be a strange year in some ways, but with exciting potential for community gathering to activate our collective best.

If you resonate with this and want to sort through how to activate your own empowerment this year, sign up for a personal tarot reading with me.

Feel like this connects with someone you know who needs to hear it? Bring them in for a Tarot Together session.

Want to better hear your own clarity in this year? Enjoy tuning inward with an intuition coaching session.

Finally, if you live in Portland, have a talented professional reader entertain at your party. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides top notch divination artists to add magic into any festivity. Welcome one of our readers to your upcoming event to ring in the new year with clarity.

Here’s to all of us stepping into making our best goals happen in 2025!

Happy New Year,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Give Growth to Stuck Friends

Posted on December 20, 2024 by jennaroberts

The other night reading cards for a company holiday party, nearly every client sat down while saying, “I’ve never done this before!”

Same words, but one bubbles with glee while another seems hesitant. Afterward, both usually comment on how the experience was surprisingly beneficial; they find themselves relieved from stress or more clear around a decision.

I love giving people their first reading.

To witness someone opening themselves to the magic of specific and relevant insights from a stranger is still enlivening to me. Even after decades of thousands of readings given, I delight in their wonder.

Since you likely have had readings, take a moment to reflect on what draws you to get one. What is the shift a reading offers you that brings it value?

Here are some ways people have shared that readings enhance life:

– Gives fresh perspective on challenges

– Feel fully heard and seen

– Tunes you into choices with compassionate support

– Consider best directions for personal growth

Do you know someone in your life who could use this type of attention? 

Skip buying the stuff that only adds to the dusting pile and lighten their energetic burden with psychic support.

It’s time to surprise a loved one with how refreshing a tarot reading can be by sending a gift certificate.

If they are on the anxious side, add your own presence and learn how to support each other better in a Tarot Together session.

If you both want to go strait to the source of your own wisdom, join them for an intuition coaching session. If you are gifting this, I offer you to accompany them at no extra charge.

For the full experience, a personal tarot reading deep dive can take them on a full hour journey of clarifying cards.

Better yet, impress all your friends at once by inviting them over for an event style reading with Portlandia Fortune Tellers. We provide skilled divination artists who can offer different gifts like palmistry, astrology, runes, I-Ching, and tarot at your home. Start the New Year with powerful insights!.

I hope you have a lovely holiday season and step into the new year with a community who is rich with wisdom.

Support Loved Ones Evolutions,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Holiday Priorities Recalibrated

Posted on December 12, 2024 by jennaroberts

In the holiday rush, it’s important to tune inward to what really matters to you.

This week, I mailed out gifts family who I have not seen in years. I found myself sad and a little triggered.

I don’t mind the effort and cost of gifts. I like showing I care this way. But I felt empty about it.

I sat with that feeling, waiting for what was behind it to emerge.

I was careful not to lean into angry stories that wanted to spout their righteousness (thank you therapy).

I realized that I don’t even know these kids who I am gifting. I don’t know if they will like what I sent or be able to put a face to who gave it to them.

I am craving connection time to know them better.

So I called my cousin and let her know that I would like to change our tradition up a bit.

I don’t want gifts, I want time with my family. Currently, I don’t have the bandwidth to fly out and spend vacation with them, but we have the magic of the internet.

I shared my feelings and asked if we can have a holiday video chat during the break.

She was naturally understanding. So many of us know that the gifts take too much spotlight these days during what is supposed to be a season about love.

I hope this story helps you feel centered in checking in on the kind of experiences you want to have with others this holiday season.

Mercury Retrograde ends Sunday, and this weekend is a good time to go inward and consider what support and changes you need to ask others for. Next week, as the planet goes direct, reach out with kind words to make your requests.

If you find that you are desiring more depth of understanding in your relationships, it’s a powerful thing to listen in on each other’s tarot readings in a Tarot Together session.

Aligning with your own wisdom to hear the best answers from your higher spirit is an art in itself, hone your skills in an intuition coaching session.

This season that heads into the longest night is a great time for introspection on a deeper level, which a personal tarot reading offers.

Mercury Retrograde ending on Sunday is also the final day of the discount codes of RETRO24 for you and RETROGIFT for gift certifcates. Treat your family and yourself to experiences over stuff this year.

Having a reader come to your party creates deeper conversations for the guests. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides skilled divination artists that add magic into any gathering. Bring powerful insights to your New Year’s Eve event this year.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and feel fulfilled in your holiday season, even with the rush.

Seek Real Connection,

Free Reading for December

Posted on December 5, 2024 by jennaroberts

There’s still time to get 10% off with my usual Mercury Retrograde deal with the code RETRO24 for you and RETROGIFT for gift certifcates through December 15th.

If you order by December 15th, I can send a physical gift certificate to any address at no extra charge.

These offers are good for intuition coaching sessions, Tarot Together sessions, and a personal tarot reading for yourself!

Now for our reading for the month!

Time to shift some ways you approach your goals.

The Knight of Pentacles has served you well in getting the ball rolling on some worthwhile projects. You may even have built supportive teams and habits with the 3 of Pentacles approach of long-term thinking from the start.

Some changes need to happen now, and they involve a mix of dismantling fears and anxieties with the 9 of Swords reversed and stepping into a firey competitive mindset with the 5 of Wands.

Let’s all take a moment to alter our thinking around conflict. Many of us see it as a losing game to negotiate our needs in any way that comes across as fierce.

The 5 of Wands can be arguments, but it also can be about standing up for yourself and getting bold in the areas where you have certainty. Let that 9 of Swords reversal release you from stories that hold you back from your own power. Lean in and own what you know to be true.

This will transform you into a Knight of Wands, taking action on that which you see as necessary and worthy of a fight. Get feisty in the pursuits of uplifting your projects with confidence that may excel beyond prior experience.

Warning to Heed: while taking bold actions with confidence, slow your roll on your words and be conscious of where you might be naive!

Stall any impulsive statements that the Page of Swords could speak too quickly with promises and consequences that cannot be realistically fulfilled.

Be aware of what you don’t know and keep your allies close who are wise to these matters.

The answer this month is an odd mix of letting go of fear to dive into empowerment while still keeping your eyes open to your own ignorance.

Keep balanced in those details and you’ll likely rock star your goals into 2025!

Another way to be a rock star is to introduce your friends to the art of tarot with a top professional giving readings either online or in person in the Portland, Oregon area. Bring your community together for a holiday or New Year’s Party and wow your friends with the experience of a Portlandia Fortune Tellers reader.

Have a great last month of 2024!

You’re a Rock Star,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Forgiveness is a Journey

Posted on November 21, 2024 by jennaroberts

“There is no revenge so sweet at forgiveness.” – Josh Billings

This is one of the hardest subjects to approach, since I myself struggle with it regularly.

Many of us are very hard on ourselves, and that makes us harder on those around us.

Memories of past hurts can reignite our negative feelings. This in turn physically raises our stress levels in the present moment.

Today, I want to soften my resentments for thesake of health andI welcome you along in my own personal research.

To be clear, if you faced a deep trauma, it would be best for you to work through that pain with a therapist. These suggestions are meant for more simple or general hurts, rather than deep wounds.

Here are some messages from wise people who each went through their own great tests of forgiveness. I added a corresponding tarot card that aligns with the quote’s meaning:

Pema Chödrön: “There is a simple practice we can do to cultivate forgiveness. First we acknowledge what we feel – Shame, revenge, embarrassment, remorse. Then we forgive ourselves for being human.”

10 of Cups – Feel your Feelings: I believe what she is illuminating is that we often struggle to forgive ourselves even for the feelings that the resentment creates. So the first step is to feel those and accept yourself fully.

Nelson Mandela: “You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.”

Hanged Man Card – Surrender the Pain: in order to serve your best future, let go. To be effective in your goals, find peace with both the present and the past as best you can.

Martin Luther King Jr.: “Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.”

Devil Card Reversed – Beat Dark Temptations: Overcome the urge to slip into the darkness the offenders want to pull you into.

Mahatma Gandhi: “Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

Strength Card – Be Proud: If you are able to let go of the past, even a little, credit yourself for that. Recognize the wisdom it took to be the bigger person.

Oscar Wilde: “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”

6 of Wands – Be Good just to Look Good: This quote aligns with the humor I need to better move through forgiveness. When you let go, people see that and respect you for it, which ticks off those who want others to think ill of you. .

If you want to tune into the quiet parts of you that speak from your higher wisdom, join me for an intuition coaching session.

Being witnessed by spirit guides can be powerful medicine to release the past, sign up for a personal tarot reading for just that.

Laugh at your frustrations with a friend in a Tarot Together session.

Have a fun party that only your beloved supporters can attend. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides top notch divination artists to add magic into any gathering. The Holidays are coming and we can make your party extra special.

I hope the message today was helpful to even nudge you closer to letting go of the hurt. Do it for you own best interests.

Set Yourself Free,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Reframe Future Thoughts

Posted on November 14, 2024 by jennaroberts

Tarot is a tool for shifting your state of being around the future.

Sometimes it quells the inner doubt with a dose of certainty.

Sometimes it twists your view into a fresh angle, like the Hanged Man offers.

Today I want to offer some playful ways to explore realigning with new possibilities.

This is a system I have designed that has helped me shift in challenging moments where I am presuming an unpleasant future outcome.

While these start in an order, you can focus on the one that is most relevant at the time.

1. Awareness Pause: When you catch yourself in a future funk that scares you, a bad-case scenario, PAUSE. Do not judge yourself. Observe that your mind is attempting to protect you. Thank your brain for it’s problem solving intent.

2. Mirror Smash: Imagine that the last image or thought of the future funk is cast on a giant movie screen mirror. Take a big imaginary hammer and shatter it. Remind yourself that this is an illusion brought by fear.

2. Present Moment Reset: Sense your emotional state. Notice your posture and breathing. Adjust to sit up and take a deep breath. Relax the muscles on your face and let that wash down through your body.

3. Pendulum Swing: From however heavy or scary that future was, imagine the exact opposite. It might start with a feeling. What level of lightness and joy would you need to counter match that level of anxiety? Try to imagine a future equally fabulously opposite to the level of awful you found yourself in.

4. Past Positives: Reflect on a time when you had bad expectations that turned out less dramatic than you feared. Remember that the worst cast scenario is often not the outcome.

5. Deepen Your Self-Trust: Consider what skills you used to pull you through past events. Remind yourself that you are even more adept now, having been through that before. Develop this self-certainty further with an intuition coaching session.

6. Access the Resources around you: Do you have a friend who helps you think of things from a more positive and grounded place? Reach out to them to get their point of view. You can also sign up for a personal tarot reading with me to see how the cards can support your best future.

7. More the Merrier: Bring in a friend for a Tarot Together session to welcome safe loved ones into your life story. Throw a party to shake off the stress. If you live in Portland, have a talented professional reader perform for your friends. Portlandia Fortune Tellers provides top notch divination artists to add magic into any gathering.

8. Find wisdom in fabulous strangers of history and today: We enjoy an incredible resource of guides from the past and present who we can access online today. Some of them have been through very tough times and have insights from it. Listen to talks by Pema Chödrön, James Baldwin, Ram Dass, Maya Angelou, or others. Scroll down for a lovely message from Brené Brown.

And please let me know your favorite guides to listen to are with an email message. I would love to learn who you seek wisdom from.

You Contain Multitudes,

Jenna Lynne Roberts
