Card Divination by Rachel Blodgett
House of Poets is Rachel's card-reading practice, devoted to vibrancy and the unveiling of greater freedom in our choice-making.
When I began reading tarot, I was met with an artistic and spiritual language that allowed me to come home to a myself.
The practice of intuitive card reading has shown me how visual imagery, mundane processes of growth and understanding, and archetypal lore, can provide a structure for deepening my conversation with the Universe. The cards are an invitation to participate in Life with greater confidence, direction, and joy.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
from EG:
"Rachel is a deep, thoughtful and inspiring creative whose work I have been following for a while. As a self-employed creative myself, I jumped at the opportunity to have my cards read. I had been struggling with a few issues that swiftly became clarified. I immediately trusted Rachel with my energy (something I don't do lightly) and she, in turn tread lightly across my professional life with grace and ease. I would 100% book again and share this experience with others; the information was curated and specific to the questions I had wanted answered."
from HM:
"Thank you, from all my bodies! Your gift of insight continues to amaze me. The way you weave together your understanding of the cards, the energetic questions I present, each time you channel, a magical alchemy occurs in your delivery.
It’s an honor to connect with the ancestors of the land and our Spirit guides, and to connect with you in this space. I feel safe, and seen. I feel whole at your table, like the info shared is a clearing moving through space, and having you witness that coming together with your insights, is a magnificent clarity, I feel empowered and energized!
Thank you so much for creating The House of Poets!"
from DG:
"Rachel created such a warm, peaceful, welcoming space for me to explore the questions and challenges that are being posed to me in my life in this moment. She reminded me of my strengths and of the tender spots that deserve comfort and care. This reading provided me with a sense of clarity and determination that makes me feel invigorated and fearless when it comes to making my art and exploring new mediums, whatever they may be. It felt like the marking of a new chapter. Rachel's insight is such a gift that I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to experience. "
from A:"This reading was so meaningful to me! I deeply appreciate your guidance and insight. Your accompaniment in viewing my patterns and challenges and visioning new approaches to encourage movement was very kind, affirming, and wise. This synopsis you've sent is super valuable to me, and I will continue looking at it throughout the month. Thank you."
from JF:
"I’ve been a fan of Rachel’s work through serpent and bow for many years. I’ve always appreciated her newsletters and the words that she shares through her online presence. I was deeply intrigued with house of poets and as an artist myself was wanting some general guidance about my life and work. Rachel’s reading was beautiful and insightful. I appreciated her interpretation of the cards and it helped me clarify and understand some big questions I’ve been grappling with. I loved her gentle and grounded approach and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and experiences with her. The summary she sends afterwards is also very generous and thoughtful. I highly recommend her house of poets sessions for anyone needing guidance or just to further explore into your creative realms.”
from H:
"Thank you so much for offering this gift to your community, I really feel a benefit from doing this reading with you. It has made me feel so much more hopeful about this transition, and I feel more secure having a sort of energetic structure to work within."
from SB:
"For my reading, I was looking for general insight in my life. I didn’t have any specific questions but felt like I needed perspective. I really appreciate that Rachel doesn't provide specific answers, and instead helps you to think deeply for yourself about perspectives, feelings and different frameworks.
Rachel was able to provide a safe and gentle space which helped me to see what was asking for resolution in my life. She reminded me of what ways I am strong and where I may need support. Rachel also provided a write-up of my reading so I could reflect back on what we covered and offered a few prompts for more self-reflection. I would highly recommend a reading with Rachel, even or perhaps especially if you don’t have any questions in mind. Giving yourself a space to reflect with someone else is a gift to yourself. "
from AA:
"I had heard about Serpent and Bow via their botanical undies and clothing line. I’d always felt drawn to the aesthetics and design of the artist so when I noticed they offered tarot readings, I wanted to dive in more personally to the artists mind. The deck that Rachel used was both sublime and surreal. I was drawn in thru the imagery from the get-go. Rachel started the session off with a grounding meditation and exercise and spent the next hour holding that special place for me to be more immersed in my inner world and journey. Her insight along with the tarot spread provided a guide for me to reflect and imagine, a spring board for action and transformation. "
from CL:
"This was so beyond in depth incredible! The summary of our session together really helps me remember and put it all together(...)I appreciate the quote and the interpretations and where you wrote "You are moving through a Birth and Death initiation. Act accordingly." This activated me in a way that was important for me today."
