“Every time somebody sits down with me, I want them to walk away a little bit better than they were when they started.'
Will Millar, Tarot card reader, holding one of his favorite cards, the "Temperance" card, at Crone's Hollow, on Monday, Sept. 26, 2022.Will Millar is the first to admit that he doesn’t fit the image of a tarot card reader.
As the first client of the day entered — one of between 10 or 20 he sees in a week — Millar shuffled the deck a few times. He set the deck down, looked at the client, and leaned back in his chair.Millar is a mythbuster, breaking down the misconceptions around tarot card reading itself. His readings are more conversational than prophetic, even when he closes his eyes and presses either of his hands to his temples.
Millar said he doesn’t know why he got drawn to tarot, but it’s always felt very natural to him, along with his interest in magic, yoga and witchcraft. Millar said he also remembers the first important reading he ever did. “It was for somebody who was in a personal crisis,” he said. “They were experiencing a very dark moment and asked ‘What do I do?’” They talked for an hour, and in that time, Millar said, it seemed to him like things got better for her.
“Reading the pictures tells you a story,” Millar said. “The speed at which you can read the many pictures that are laid out, depending on what kind of story you’re trying to tell, the faster you can put all those pieces of information together in varying combinations — the more completely you can tell somebody a given story in a certain amount of time.”
Observing Millar at work, there’s a therapeutic quality to his sessions, though he rebuts that idea. “I would never credit myself with being any sort of therapist, but I do try to create some sort of healing,” he said.
