  • Tarot readings trace roots to 18th-century mysticism
  • Psychic Ashley Evans uses tarot to explore emotional healing and future plans.
  • Symbolic cards suggest shifts in health, relationships and career potential.

I often find myself so worried about the future that I forget to enjoy the present. In a quest to relieve my anxiety, I met with Ashley Evans — a Mississippi Coast psychic and tarot card expert.

From financial abundance to strengthening my soul ties, Evans placed a deck of 78 tarot cards in front of me, each one offering me an intimate look into my future.

Tarot cards emerged in 15th-century Italy as a trick-taking card game, but it wasn’t until the 18th century that they were linked to fortune-telling. French Protestant pastor and writer Antoine Court de Gébelin popularized the idea that tarot cards hold divine wisdom rooted in ancient Egyptian theology.

While current-day historians largely view Court de Gébelin’s claim as a myth, tarot cards remain a truth-telling tool for many spiritual communities.

My future

Calming music echoed from a speaker as Evans arranged a spread of colorful tarot cards across the table. A flickering candle sat on a bed of salt, casting soft shadows as it hypnotized my gaze.

Evans warned that recording devices could interfere with the energy, leading to an inaccurate reading, so I scribbled down notes while she dove into the forces allegedly shaping my past, present and future.

According to Evans, I’m in a season of healing. She claimed I’m working through past trauma that’s still holding me back — how she knew I recently deleted every picture I could find of my eighth grade pixie cut, I’ll never know.

She pointed to a card showing a knight on a white horse carrying a black flag that read “Death.” Evans assured me this did not mean actual death, but rather the symbolic end of toxicity. She warned me to stay on track as I prepare for my upcoming journey to Spain. How did she know I was going to use Sangria as a self-reflection tool?

Then came “The Sun,” a card that featured a baby riding a horse under a Mona Lisa-esque sun. Evans said this was a sign of good health — mental, physical and emotional. The universe must be ignoring the fact that season 4 of ‘The Sopranos’ has me in shambles.

Next, we dove into my love life. Evans flipped over the “Two of Cups,” which she said symbolizes a soulful bond. She said I’m in a relationship unlike any other I’ve had before. Which, to be fair, he’s my first and only boyfriend, so the bar is essentially a childhood crush on the guy who read the morning announcements in high school.

Finally, the “Wheel of Fortune”. Not the game show, a career change — a chance for money and success. She said it has one small catch: I have to not be afraid. No pressure.
