Today I learned that a popular Tarot reader that I just came across passed away two years ago. I found his site as I was doing some research for my own tarot reading table that will be set up this summer at a local farmers market. I’ve been watching his videos for at least a week straight and I loved everything about him. His technique, his advice…the way he freely shared without any judgement. He wanted you to have fun. I watched hours of his content and put his words into practice everyday leading up to my first night at the fair. That was last night.
Despite my nerves, I set up my table, chose my decks and just kept telling myself to have fun because it really is a privilege to do something I am passionate about. His words played in my head as the first person approached and wanted a reading. I kept my cool as she told me her story. I shuffled my deck, asked my follow up questions and confidently told her what the cards were saying. The whole time I had Vince on my mind, replaying how he read so effortlessly and what a beautiful, sacred experience he created others. At the end of the night, I was grateful that I too was able to take the pressure off and allow myself to have fun all while providing a service I was proud of.
This takes me to this morning. I was of course watching some more of his videos and he kept referring to his website and how you could order some of his books so off I went to his website very excited to continue my learning journey with him. I typed Tarotmaps.com and got the most distressing message. “Website temporarily disabled.” I typed it again and again, getting the same message. There must be a mistake I kept saying so I researched some more. Sadly I found out that Vince Pitisci passed away in May 2024. His beautiful wife passed in January 2025. I only knew of them for a week but I was so involved and listened so intently that I felt like I knew them on a personal level. Now I am wrecked. I don’t know how to process these weird feelings of grieving people whom I really did not know but felt like friends.
It’s been on my mind all day and just wanted to share my feelings on this great, humble teacher, who inspired many, many people in the spiritual community. I want to express my thanks to him and let him know in some way that I had a great night reading my cards and helping others because of his guidance. I will continue to watch his videos and buy his books because he is one of the best. I only wish I found him years ago.
Rest in peace my internet friend. I hope somehow he knows that a nervous woman at a small farmers market sat down at a card table last night and helped someone because he took the time to teach.
