I loved my Tarot Map of Guidance. It wasn’t just the beautiful cards Oriane Lee spoke through, it was her loving energy and assured presence that enriched my reading. I value how the guidance provided was for a specific period of time with some distinct areas for me to focus on in these months ahead. I hold the image of the Sun and the Star cards moving through and from me. It is a powerful metaphor to infuse into my life, heart and business.Lynda Monk, International Association

As a remarkable interpreter of the Tarot, Oriane Lee’s lightness of being is a joy to experience. Her compassion and deep listening shower me with a welcome flow of positivity, generosity and grace. Pure and simple, the revelations in the cards leave me informed and, transformed.Chloe Goodchild
Founder of “The Naked Voice”.
.
I can't begin to describe the wonderful grounded way Oriane Lee tunes into the guidance of the Tarot cards. It was truly shamanic with her knowledge of principles from the Tarot and Tree of Life. The whole experience was beyond what I ever imagined. There is now a clear path forward in my personal and family life, and for my new business.

A powerful resource for navigating your life.A Tarot card reading sheds light on your current situation; reveals bigger elements/archetypes at play in your life; reflects where your personal power is blocked, leaking, or flowing.; affirms your own intuition. The four Tarot suits correspond to four aspects of human life: physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual––body, mind, heart, and energy. What is your best suit at the moment? And which is calling for attention?Tarot Maps of Guidance are valuable for individuals, relationships, organizations and projects.

• about oriane lee •

Originally a fibre artist and studio owner, Oriane Lee Johnston weaves a vibrant convergence of paradigm-shifting education, a love affair with horses and life-long spiritual practice.The Tarot & Tree of Life were her introduction to inner life, and the shimmering invisible mystery, over forty years ago. This understanding of human consciousness and how the divine spark takes form in the physical world has been the underpinning of her life and work.While program director for Hollyhock Leadership Centre over 16 pivotal years, co-managing Buddhist meditation retreats in Burma formed a deep sense of how to hold North American centres as sanctuaries of insight, wisdom and integrity. Oriane Lee introduced Compassion in Action retreats for environmental and social justice advocates and activists, resulting in on-the-ground success for campaigns and projects. The Spiritual Guidance Wisdom School of Atum O’Kane was also initiated during her time at Hollyhock.In mid-life, Oriane Lee went on to study natural horsemanship and Equine Guided Learning. She has co-facilitated equine programs for Royal Roads University, Hollyhock, Mary’s Farm & Sanctuary, Chiron’s Way and more, also in Africa. Horses have taken her swimming in the Indian Ocean, on safari into the Okavango Delta of Botswana and the wilds of Zimbabwe, and to the wild herds of the Chilcotin Country in the B.C. Interior.Her travel writing has appeared in The Zambezi Traveler, Harare Magazine and Canadian Horse Journals, and in the online journals Ecology.com, Voicesforbiodiversity.org, Equitrekking.com, Lifeasahuman.com, and EquineFacilitatedWellness.org.Her memoir, The Geography of Belonging. A Love Story of Horses & Africa, debuted in 2022, with second edition July 2023.
