Knave Arcade

Hi. I’m Maria.

but you may know me as [upward]bow!

Esoterica has enchanted me since childhood. Cosmic events, ancient tomes, secret histories have always been alluring. Now as an adult, the sacred arts like tarot and astrology have proven affirming and illuminating as well. They’ve given me unparalleled clarity and support through the murkiest moments. For over a decade now, I’ve immersed myself in continuous training and self-study to hone my handle on it so that I may assist and guide others during these uncertain times.

I’m here to help!

you’re more powerful than you know

When reading the cards, I consider what I do to be informed intuition. They can’t tell us what we don’t already know on some level, but they highlight, bring focus, and rearrange the seemingly disparate pieces in our lives so that we can gain a new perspective… so that we can find a new path you may not have considered.

I aim to work with clients, not at them. I want to be in dialogue with you, your intentions, and your hopes, so that you can better understand the options ahead. I won’t pigeonhole you into a single fate. I’m here to help you figure out what to do with the circumstances with which you’ve been dealt.

As for astrology, I see the stars as cosmic weather. When celestial bodies show up in certain ways, patterns tend to follow… but it’s still up to us as to how we navigate and handle those conditions.

Let’s make some magick together, yeah? ↴
