About El Tarocchi

The Reader

Hi! My name is El. I’m a self-taught intuitive tarot reader from the Philippines, and I’ve been card slinging since 2005. Tarot has helped me make sense of the chaos and craziness that is life, and I aim to help everyone I read for bring this sense of truth and clarity into their own lives.

Aside from being a tarot reader, I’m also an agnostic / secular witch and a certified reiki practitioner.

The portrait of me on the right is by my friend, Jimmy Chung. Read more about this intuitive portrait.

The Name and Logo

“El Tarocchi” is a play on my name, the Spanish (masculine) word for “the”, and the Italian word for “tarot”. If you’re wondering how to pronounce tarocchi, here is an audio guide. It sounds a bit like “tarok-ki”.

My logo was done by my friend, Karen Gosingan. I asked for a sun because I’m a Leo Sun who loves what it stands for as a symbol — positivity, truth, clarity, hope, and optimism.
