Born, raised, and still residing in upstate New York, Amy Tripp has always had a passion for the unknown and the mysteries surrounding everyday living. She studied and practiced Tarot for many years, earning a certification, and giving professional readings online. After a several year hiatus, she returned to Tarot reading and began to focus on exploring the beautiful images of the classic Rider-Waite Tarot deck. By studying the images and letting her intuition guide her, she became reacquainted with the cards and gained a deeper understanding of their symbolism. It was then she realized that a thorough intuitive examination of the Tarot cards represented a good way for anyone to learn the Tarot, and she set out to polish her own notes into a course.

A lifelong learner, Amy is an avid student of writing, photography, meditation, dream journaling, cosmic consciousness, numerology, runes and palmistry. Amy has written several unpublished novels in the genres of horror, suspense, romance and children's books. Her hobbies include writing, reading, knitting, gardening and spending time with her family. She lives with her husband of 25 years and her two sons.
