Policies: Read This Before You Dive In
Tarot Readings Are Interpretive (Not Gospel)
Tarot readings are subject to interpretation and are never 100% accurate. A tarot reading will never force you to follow a specific course of action, and it certainly won’t control your free will or common sense. Use your own judgment—my insights are here to guide, not dictate. Decisions you make after a reading? That’s on you. I assume no legal responsibility for any outcomes from the choices you make after our session. You’re the one in control.
Age Requirement—Grown Folks Only
By booking with me, you confirm you’re 18+ (or the age of consent in your country). Witchcraft and tarot are powerful, but let’s keep it legal—this isn’t child’s play.
Give Me the Goods—Not Just Your Name
When you’re booking a reading/session, I need more than just your name and date of birth. Don’t hold back—give me everything you think is relevant. Let it be your full name, date, time, and location of birth AND details about what’s going on in your life, I need the full picture. If you’re asking a specific question or want me to focus on a particular area, don’t make me guess. The more you share, the more I can hone in on what really matters. Half-baked info leads to half-baked insights—don’t be that person. Trust me, you’ll get the best experience when I’ve got the right tools to work my magic.
Keep It Forever (Because I Won’t)
Once you’ve received your session—download that file. The MP3? That’s your responsibility. I’m not an eternal file storage service, so don’t come crying to me six months later asking for a resend. Your session, your insights, your storage solution. Simply because I just don’t have the space to hold everyone’s sessions for longer than 30 days.
Tarot or Oracle? Make Your Pick.
I work with both tarot and oracle decks, depending on the vibe I feel during your session. Don’t like surprises? Then tell me upfront if you’re dead set on me using tarot. Otherwise, you might get oracle. Both are fire, so either way, you’re in for a ride.
Digital Downloads = No Take Backs
All digital products (like workshops, printables, or other downloads) are non-refundable. You get instant access—end of transaction. If you hit a snag with tech or need help understanding the content, reach out. I’m happy to assist, but don’t expect to reverse a sale once those files are in your hands.
Medical Disclaimers—Witchcraft Won’t Replace a Doctor
Services with The House of Blackthorn and Michael Blackthorn aren’t meant to replace trained healthcare providers. If you’ve got a serious medical condition, get in touch with a doctor or a licensed professional. Magic can help, but it’s not a cure-all, and I’m not here to replace science with spells.
Patience, Darling—Magic Takes Time
Once you’ve confirmed your purchase, don’t spam my inbox asking where your reading is the next day. I work on a 3-5 business day turnaround. And no, the day you hit ‘buy’ is not day 1. Time starts the next business day. Special, longer readings like year-ahead forecasts can take up to 10 days because, well, magic doesn’t operate on Amazon Prime speed. Your info not in order? Expect delays. I’m not a miracle worker—oh wait, I kinda am—but still, I need what I need to deliver the goods.
When I’m Available (Hint: I’m Not a 24/7 Hotline)
I typically work between 8 AM and 6:30 PM PST on weekdays. Not a night owl? Cool, neither am I. But hey, I understand life happens—so I’m available two weekends a month for those “special situations” at an additional cost. Magic is powerful, but so is my need for boundaries and downtime.
No Refunds—Period.
Let’s cut to the chase: No refunds. Why? Because once I’ve done the reading or completed the spellwork, the energy is spent. Whether you like what you hear or not, my job isn’t to tell you pretty lies—it’s to challenge you, offer insight, and guide you toward your power. If you’re looking for sugar-coated truths, you’re in the wrong place. So be sure you’re ready for some real talk before you hit that ‘Buy Now’ button.
Don’t Make It Public.
Our sessions are sacred. Don’t put them on blast. The insights we share are for you—privately. If you feel the need to share your reading with the world, don’t be surprised when the magic starts unraveling. Keep it close, keep it personal, and respect the work we’ve done together.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice (Seriously, Don’t Try It)
Listen, I’m good at what I do, but spellwork and readings are not a substitute for professional financial, legal, medical, or psychiatric advice. I can’t fix your lawsuit, diagnose your illness, or manage your investments. Use common sense and consult a pro when needed. My magic is potent, but there are limits—don’t make me your therapist or lawyer.
For Legal Reasons, Let’s Get Real
For legal reasons, I must advise that all readings and spellwork are provided for entertainment purposes only. No guarantees are implied or stated, so don’t come at me with “But the cards said…” Tarot is interpretive, not absolute. It’s a tool, not a set of commandments.
You’re Responsible for Your Actions
You—and only you—are responsible for any decisions or actions you take after receiving a reading or spellwork. I can guide you, give you clarity, and empower you, but at the end of the day, your choices are your responsibility. Don’t try to shift that weight onto me or The House of Blackthorn.
Objectivity Over Absolutism
I’m not here to tell you what to do—that’s not my style. With my readings I choose to guide, I don’t instruct. My role is to help you explore your options, understand your challenges, and empower you to make the best choices for yourself. I’m here to motivate, not mandate. At the end of the day, you’re in charge, and I’m just here to light up the path.
Strict Confidentiality
Your trust is sacred. All the information you share with me is kept confidential. In my videos and public content, I may talk about general themes from my work, but your personal stories? They stay with me. Your life is not for YouTube, and I’ll never use your experiences to inspire content. That’s a promise.
I Don’t Do Legal, Financial, or Health Advice
I am not a lawyer, doctor, or financial advisor. For specific questions about legal, financial, or health matters, I urge you to consult appropriately trained professionals. I can offer you clarity in many areas, but these aren’t my domains.
Zero Tolerance for Discrimination
This should go without saying, but unfortunately, the world we live in still makes it necessary: I do not, and will never, discriminate based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Equality and acceptance are at the heart of everything I do. If you’re here, you’re welcomed and honored, period.
Respect for Pronouns
Your identity matters. If you’d like me to know your or your partner’s pronouns before we start our session, just let me know in your notes. I always strive to be respectful and aligned with who you are.
Nurturing and Empowering Readings
All my readings and sessions are designed to empower and nurture you. I don’t believe in being a passive observer in your own life—you are in control, and my work is here to help you take responsibility and gain a fresh perspective.
