Hi, my name is Julie Rinaldi, and I am in the beautiful, picturesque Green Mountain State of Vermont. I am an intuitive Tarot Master specializing in Thoth Tarot and I am a certified massage therapist. I spent most of my  career as an adjudicator with the United States Citizenship Immigration Service and I am also a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army. 

     It was in 2005 that my life changed forever. My mother passed away abruptly and later that evening she came to me in my dreams. It was when I fell asleep that this tunnel of white light opened in my bedroom. Standing in that tunnel was my mother. I could not see her face and she spoke to me telepathically. She acknowledged that I had a hard life growing up and she offered me the opportunity to go with her, but I could not do that. I had a young daughter that needed me, and I whimpered with a sigh of relief and fell back into a deep sleep. Looking back, I probably would have suffered a heart attack that night if I had chosen to go with my mom. I had a deeper purpose in life, and I would embark on a spiritual journey to become a healer and a guide, helping people find their balance in mind, body, and spirit.

     In 2010, I graduated as a Certified Massage Therapist from the Wellness Massage Center & Institute in St. Albans, VT where I learned a variety of modalities with a specialization in deep tissue and sports therapy. It was also during this time that I met my mentor Katherine Penberthy Veilleux, MS. It was Katherine that introduced me to Huna Shamanism and taught me how to journey to find my spirit animal(s) and find my sacred space/alter where I can communicate with my spirit guides finding guidance on my life’s purpose. Katherine taught me how to use the Dynamind technique which is effective in relieving emotional and/or physical pain by relaxing the body, releasing resistance, and allowing the body’s natural ability to work. Katherine also taught me Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot using the psychological approach. I believe I was called to the Thoth cards. I found that the cards spoke to me and the projected geometry in the cards make the archetypes come alive to me. There have even been times that the cards have communicated with me in my dreams. 

     In early 2022 I wrote a college research paper for a World Mythology class, and I chose the topic of Aleister Crowley, but I bit off more than I could chew. It was a huge undertaking that led me to find Joe Monteleone on the YouTube channel Tarot with Joe. Joe offered me the opportunity to study Advanced Tarot and Master Thoth Tarot and I plunged down the rabbit hole of learning more about the Thoth cards including: The Tree of Life, Kabala, Jewish Mysticism, Hebrew, Hermetics, and Astrology. I continued my Tarot studies with the Tarot Readers Academy, completing training in the Thoth Tarot systems and finally I am exploring my third-generation gypsy with the World Divination Association, receiving training in Gypsy Witch and Gypsy cards. 

     I look forward to applying my massage skills and intuitive tarot readings to balance mind, body, and spirit one person at a time. 
 

 Much love,
Julie Rinaldi
