Readings on the River Autumn 2026

I’m doing a new thing!

For a long time, it has been on my mind and heart to offer readings out in nature. The idea is to go out on an informal Saturday or Sunday, grab a table at a park, hang out for a couple of hours, and offer readings. Well, here I am to make this a reality.

Beginning in mid-September 2026, I’ll be in one of the parks by the Arkansas River in Little Rock, AR, offering readings for whoever may want one on Sundays. For now, that park will be Murray Park.

The goal isn’t to make this a big thing. I want it to be a nice, quiet opportunity near the river to consult the cards and allow our cares to be cast into the air and water. Love offerings are always appreciated.

If you can’t make it to the river on Sundays, I am available for bookings and am willing to meet elsewhere.

Text me at 501-361-4987 for appointments.

A Moment with the Cards: Flamingo in Winter

Snow and ice covered the ground outside of my home when I pulled the Flamingo card from my animal oracle deck. I laughed when I turned the card over because the absurdity of this card appearing in the middle of such circumstances was as ironic as it was symbolic for what’s happening in my personal and professional lives. It is as reflective of my new adoptive name, Sparkle Noir, as it is a message of encouragement for anyone who comes across this. A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One To start out on the shallow end of the pool of Flamingo spiritual symbolism, let’s take a look at the color scheme. Pretty much all the flamingos I’ve seen are bright pink birds with long legs. They are known for being able to stand on one leg for long periods. Brightness and balance are what I immediately think of when I see this card. A widespread snowstorm has covered half of the United States, yet here is this card sent as a reminder to remain optimistic even in the cold and dark days. While many...

A Moment with the Cards: A Good Cry Is a Spiritual Bath Part II - Empathy & Heart of Gold

Lately, when I pull oracle cards, I find myself not fully reading into them right away. I’ll take mental notes of my first impressions, but I really have to let them marinate for a few days or even a few weeks. That’s exactly the case for the cards I’m about to share today. First, let me call back a reading I called A Good Cry is a Spiritual Bath because it is relevant. Tears play a huge role in my interpretation of these cards today. The cards for today are Empathy from Paradise Oracle and Heart of Gold from Oracle of Great Mystics. A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One Visually, both cards exude softness, which is what one would expect from empathy, I hope. When someone tells you that you have a heart of gold, they usually mean that you have great personality characteristics that are marked by kindness and generosity. For the sake of time-saving, I won’t do a deep dive on my interpretation of this because my personal reflections will say more than anything I could possibly imag...

Welcome Home: A Soft Opening

I am Sparkle Noir , aka The Gifted Reader, aka LeTara. I’m not sure how you found me. I have too many blogs to count and I’ve contributed a few blurbs to various corners of the internet. I already have a tarot blog, but I decided to create a second home here. Despite this blog being called The Gifted Reader: Student of Tarot, this blog will cover topics related to tarot, Lenormand, cartomancy, the law of attraction, hoodoo, meditation, sexuality, and whatever else comes to mind. I won't make any promises about posting regularly. Just whenever the spirit moves me. If you’re interested in a tarot or oracle reading from me, visit www.buymeacoffee.com/thegiftedreader .
