About Elsa

I’m Elsa. I read tarot, study numerology, and write about the quiet psychology behind both. This site is where I put what 

I’ve learned over the past eleven years – sometimes as a guide, sometimes as a notebook left open on the table.

If you’ve landed here, you’re probably not looking for fortune-telling. You’re looking for something to make sense of where you are. That’s the kind of reader I write for.

A short answer to "who is Elsa, really?"

I’m based in Dalarna, Sweden — a region of deep forests, long winters, and the kind of silence that makes you hear your own thoughts clearly. I’m a tarot reader, an esoteric practitioner, and a long-time student of the human mind. I’ve been working with tarot seriously for eleven years, and I trained for two years in the classical schools of Papus and Rider-Waite – the two systems that still shape almost everything in modern Western tarot.

My approach is psychological and esoteric at the same time. These two words don’t contradict each other. They describe the same thing from different angles.

How I started - and why it wasn't romantic

I picked up my first deck of cards when I was around twelve or thirteen. Not tarot – just ordinary playing cards I used to read for friends at school. I had no idea what I was doing. I just noticed that certain patterns kept repeating, and certain answers kept being right.Tarot came later, and it didn’t come because of curiosity. It came because my life had hit a wall.

There was a period – about eleven years ago – when nothing I did was working. I was carrying a lot of responsibility and had no one to lean on. No mentor, no support system, no clear advice. I kept trying, and the harder I tried, the more tired I became. Eventually my body gave up before my mind did. I burned out completely. The depression that followed wasn’t dramatic, just grey, slow, and uninterested in anything.

Somewhere in the middle of that, I stumbled on a video about an esoteric practice. I don’t even remember what made me try it. But I did, and something shifted – not in a mystical, fireworks way. Just a small inner click, the kind you only notice afterwards. I thought: this is the direction I need. That’s when tarot came back into my life, and it stayed.

The next few years weren’t about predictions or readings for other people. They were about taking myself apart and putting myself back together – slowly, piece by piece. I started studying my own patterns: why I kept ending up in the same situations, why certain decisions felt impossible to make, why some people drained me and others didn’t.

If I compare the woman I was then to the woman writing this now, they’re two different people. I’m proud of that work. It’s the only reason I feel I have anything to share

What I actually do — and what I don't

I work with tarot in two ways.

The first is what most people expect: readings that help someone see their current situation more clearly. Not predictions. Predictions are the boring part of tarot, and they’re often wrong, because the future is built from what you do today. What I’m interested in is what’s actually going on in a person’s mind and life right now – the things they already know but haven’t said out loud yet. Tarot is very good at making the unsaid visible.

The second is ritual work. Specifically, what I call constellation rituals – a way of using the cards to shift a current situation toward a more favourable one. These rituals aren’t spells in the Hollywood sense. They’re closer to focused inner work, structured through symbols. They’ve given me, and the people I’ve worked with privately, some of the most surprising results I’ve ever seen in this field. I’ll be writing more about them in the Rituals section.

I also collect tarot decks. There are over a hundred of them in my home now. Each deck has a personality, and over the years I’ve learned which one to reach for in which situation – like choosing the right pen for a particular letter.

What I don't do is just as important.

I don’t do anything that interferes with another person’s  free will. No love spells, no curses, no “bring him back” rituals. I find that whole genre of esoteric work both ethically wrong and practically useless – and I’m direct about it because I think the field needs more directness.

I also don’t pretend that tarot is magic falling from the sky. Almost everything we call esoteric is, at its core, the work of the psyche. Your inner state shapes what you can do with these tools. A calm, clear mind reads cards differently than an anxious one. A person who has done some work on themselves moves through a ritual differently than someone who hasn’t. That’s why I write about psychology alongside tarot. They’re not two topics on this site. They’re one topic, told from two sides.

Who I'm writing for

If you’ve read this far, I probably already know something about you.

You’re someone who’s curious – about yourself, about how life actually works, about why the same things keep happening to you. You might be in a difficult chapter right now: emotionally, physically, financially, or all three at once. You might feel stuck in a fog where nothing points anywhere. But you haven’t given up. You’re still looking, and you’re willing to do the work if someone shows you a real direction.

That’s the person I write for. I was that person, eleven years ago, sitting in front of a screen at three in the morning with no idea what to do next.

Where to go from here

The site is organised the way I actually think about these subjects.

If you want practical readings and card meanings, start with Tarot. If you’re more drawn to numbers and what they reveal about timing and personality, go to Numerology. If you’re working through something internal, Psychology is where I write about the quieter, harder parts of being human. The Moon and Daily Energy sections track the rhythms most of us only notice subconsciously, and Rituals is where I share the practical esoteric work.

The Blog is more personal – a kind of notebook where everything else lives.

There’s no rush. Pick what your eye lands on first. That’s usually the one you needed.
