The Master Key to Your Unconscious

There is a romantic — and dangerously convenient — idea about Tarot: that it serves as a way to outsource responsibility. As if, after a spread, your destiny were sealed, packaged, and ready for consumption.


It is not.

I am Selene Sarrazin, and my work is to dismantle that illusion.

I am not here to tell you what will happen as if it were set in stone.

I am here to show you what you are doing right now that is leading you, with clear honesty, toward a predictable outcome. The futility of cheap fortune-telling has never interested me.

Here, we deal with the architecture of the soul.



Tarot is serious. It demands respect and, above all, responsibility — mine, as the guide; yours, as the author of your own life.

Tarot is one of the most profound symbolic systems humanity has ever created. It is not interested in gossip about the future. It illuminates the present, because your absolute power of creation resides solely in the present moment.


Beyond “Prediction”: The Power of Choice

The question, “Does Tarot show the future?” is, in fact, the wrong question. It keeps us passive, held hostage by an external force, waiting.

The truth is more uncomfortable — and infinitely more powerful:

Tarot reveals submerged patterns that, if left unchecked, will lead you toward a highly probable future.

It shows:

The Diagnosis: Where your resistance lies, your self-sabotaging fears and the resources you insist on ignoring.

The Potential: The energies currently available to redraw your timeline.

The Responsibility: With every Arcana, control returns to the only real point of power that exists — you.

My role is to translate the code. Yours is to rewrite the program.


The Cynicism of Convenience

Many seek Tarot to evade accountability. They hope the weight of their choices will be transferred to destiny, to “energy,” or to the card that fell.

How utterly convenient.

The truth is simple and relentless: your life is your masterpiece, and Tarot proves it. The future is not a decree; it is a draft.

If I could dictate what will happen, I would be signing away your freedom of choice. And that, darling, is something no serious tarologist would ever do.


The Myth of the Fixed Future

The cards do not decree.They reveal.

They reveal your limiting beliefs, your unconscious fears, your vicious cycles. The Four of Swords is not a bad omen. It is your unconscious screaming that you need to stop.

My job is to translate the scream.Your responsibility is to honor it.

Tarot is a tool for empowerment. If you leave my table feeling like a prisoner of fate, I have failed. You must leave feeling the weight — and the power — of your own decision.


Ethics Are Not Optional

Integrity in this work requires clear and non-negotiable boundaries:

Autonomy Above All: I guide, if the

cards call for action, the next step is yours. My work ends where your execution begins.

Transparency of Scope: We are tarologists, not medical practitioners. If a reading points to clinical concerns, the only ethical path is a referral to a therapist or physician.

No Judgment. Just Facts: I have seen too much to be shocked. I am not here to feed drama, but to illuminate what needs to be understood — and changed.


The Lesson of Arcana II — The High Priestess

The High Priestess guards the secrets. And she reveals them only when you are ready. She demands silence, depth, and patience. She tolerates neither superficiality nor idle curiosity.

She represents the seriousness of the knowledge you came to seek.

If you are willing to leave the surface world behind and enter this territory where truth is the most valuable currency, then you are in the right place.



Welcome. Now, let’s burn the veil.
