First blog

“Hear, hear!.”

That's my signature phrase whenever I introduce something online, a nod to my alter ego, "The Rune Witch."

Hi!

Welcome to my first blog post on this website, my English debut. I'm Ylva, a Swede living in Spain, and I've been reading Tarot cards since I was 14.

Thanks to Wolftracks, I now have the opportunity to share my journey in English. My fascination with the internet began in 1995 when I got my first computer and built my first website. By 2000, I launched my first distance course via email, covering each Tarot card over 80 days. Eventually, I transitioned the course online with a login feature.

Now, I'm excited to share my wisdom and knowledge with you in English, hoping to inspire and educate. I believe learning Tarot is much like learning a new language—start with words, build sentences, and soon you'll speak fluently. As I improve my English through translations and videos, I invite you to grow through my courses.

I was raised by three wonderful women: my mother, grandmother, and aunt. My mother could see "little people" like elves and gnomes, my grandmother held Sunday seances, and my aunt read the future in playing cards and coffee grounds. The "new age" was a daily part of my life. I moved to England at 14, where my friends introduced me to Tarot, sparking my lifelong passion. Before that, I explored crystals, astrology, and more.

In the early 1990s, I began offering professional readings and published my first book, "Tarot, Step by Step," the first of its kind in Sweden. Since then, I've authored numerous books on Tarot, Runes, Crystals, aura and colors, healing, and even a children's book. This summer, two of my books will be published in English, with more on the way.

On this website, I've launched a free mini Tarot course and a basic Tarot course, with more to come. Follow me here or on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to stay inspired and connected.
