Hi. I'm Tom Benjamin...Your friendly neighborhood fortune teller!My aim is to create a place where you feel comfortable asking about whatever is on your mind, without judgment. Need guidance on your career? Perfect! Want to know why your other half is being so cranky? We can do that! Need to know whether this blind date will be a hit or a miss? Right on! Together, we’ll find insight to life’s burning questions and make sure you feel clear on those answers. With 20+ years of experience, my reading style is practical and down to earth—and though serious things come up, even first-timers and people who are nervous about getting a reading can feel safe. Knowledge is power! I host a popular YouTube Channel (The Fool’s Journal) and I’ve written two workbooks for tarot students, Tarot on Earth and Your Tarot Toolkit. As a teacher, I’m an adult learning expert with 20+ years in corporate learning. My workshops are hands-on and designed to give you a sandbox where you can experiment and explore some of the more exciting tarot techniques I’ve learned. 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly. @tombenjamintarot on Instagram; @thefoolsjournal on YouTube; @tombenjamintarot.bsky.social on BlueSky www.tombenjamintarot.com |

My new book is coming in Autumn 2025 from Crossed Crow!Historically, fortune tellers have always stood on the margins of society and been villainized by the Christo-Colonial powers that view divination as competition. The Modern Fortune Teller’s Field Guide takes a contemporary and engaged approach to divination, with a strong focus on social responsibility. Because fortune tellers can see the world as it is, we serve as a threat to structures that benefit from secrecy.
The Modern Fortune Teller’s Field Guide is an essential guide to anyone seeking theory and history alongside divinatory knowledge. Though anyone today can pick up a pack of tarot cards or begin casting bones, fortune tellers have a responsibility in taking up that work to consider not only the forebears who suffered for that art—but also to understand the systems of oppression that impact our clients. We must understand that spiritually bypassing a client’s reality is not only ineffective but cruel. CLICK THE TITLE IN THE TEXT ABOVE TO ORDER DIRECTOR FROM CROSSED CROW NOW. |
