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 . I offer tarot readings online and in-person sessions the Little Rock, AR area. My other blogging endeavors can be found here >>> https://linktr.ee/letarawrites
