WHAT CLIENTS SAY...
"Clarissa is one of the most gifted readers I've ever had the privilege of reading with...
...Her warmth, energy and sense of humor will take you on a journey of knowing yourself in new ways that will help make a better you. Because unlike other readers who are old school and very dogmatic in how they read the Tarot, Clarissa takes her expertise of this very old form of divination and brings it into the modern age with wit, compassion and powerful insight.

HI THERE!
I'm Clarissa.
I’m an artist and intuitive guide, and Luminous Chariot is where my love of symbol, story, and soulful connection come together. With over 30 years as a professional visual artist and a lifelong relationship with archetypes and inner imagery, I bring a thoughtful, creative presence to each reading.
I have been practicing tarot for 30 plus years,
Each session is a gentle, collaborative conversation—tuned to where you are emotionally and spiritually. I read with traditional tarot, always leaving space for your own insights to emerge.
Clients have described my sessions as “transformative,” “deeply resonant,” and “emotionally clarifying.” Luminous Chariot is more than a reading—it’s a mythic map, a creative mirror, and a warm light to guide your next steps.
It’s my belief that we get answers when we need them, from any source that we’re open to.

CLARISSA SHANAHAN FINE ART!
Tarot spreads can address all topics - love, career, family, travel, any area of your life in which you’re seeking clarity. My expertise is in the nuances of meanings in each card, and how they relate holistically. I’ve done thousands of readings over the years, and have consistently seen perspective and clarity come from readings!
When you book a private session, I usually like the Celtic Cross spread, which is a good indicator of all factors influencing your life. We can then fine tune specific questions, such as yes/no/why, or the timing of events, or a look at past influences and how they factor into a current decision.
You’re about to have an adventure! I look forward to working with you!
MY APPROACH
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A READING
For the One Hour readings, I will record the session, if you’d like to receive the recording.
During the reading, the cards will be visible to you so you’ll learn more about them, their traditional meanings, and more importantly, what they say about you your question. I will answer questions and help you gain insight and guidance! If you choose, you’ll receive a recording of the zoom session.

COURSES, WORKSHOPS AND PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
TAROT began as a playing card game in the 15th century, eventually became used for divination in the late 18th century. The deck is made up of 22 Major Arcana cards, using archetypal figures and ideas representing the major lessons in life. Each of the four suits corresponds to an element, just as in astrology. Through the numbered cards, and the face cards of each suit, these address the everyday situations, people and circumstances in our lives. There are countless spreads that each address a particular theme, topic or query.
A FEW TYPES OF TAROT SPREADS
A simple three-card spread such the Yes/No and Why spread; or the Past, Present and Future spread is often used for clarity in decisions.
In Partnership with Konigsfurt Urania, I've created a 36-card painted deck that will be released in Spring of 2024. Stay tuned!
