Code of Ethics, Terms & Policies

By booking or receiving a tarot or oracle reading from Ryn / Ryn’s Hearth, you (“The Querent”) agree to the following terms:

1. Personal Responsibility & Disclaimer

You must be 18 years of age or older to receive a reading.

Readings are offered as tools for insight, reflection, and empowerment. They are not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or mental health advice. If your concern falls into one of these areas, please consult a qualified professional.

Your choices are your own. Any actions or decisions you make based on this reading are entirely your responsibility. Ryn / Ryn’s Hearth is not liable for any outcomes, interpretations, or consequences that arise after the reading.

2. The Nature of My Readings

I approach tarot and oracle as tools for intuitive guidance, self-discovery, and spiritual support. I never offer fixed predictions. While some outcomes may be discussed, free will and shifting circumstances always play a role.

I may gently reframe your question to keep the focus on you and your personal growth. If a question cannot be aligned with my ethical framework, I may offer a refund or suggest a more suitable direction for your reading.

3. What I Do & Do Not Read On

I do not provide readings that include:

• Medical, health, pregnancy, or fertility questions

• Legal advice or financial/investment predictions

• Third-party inquiries (i.e., reading someone else's thoughts or actions)

• Requests involving baneful magic, energy manipulation, or curses

• Demands for definitive predictions or guaranteed outcomes

I also may decline readings if:

• You show signs of over-reliance on divination for decision-making

• You repeatedly ask the same question within a short time

• I feel the question cannot be addressed with clarity or integrity through the cards

4. Inclusivity, Safety & Consent

My readings are trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I offer them in a spirit of non-judgment. I hold space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and spiritual paths.

Respect is a mutual agreement. I reserve the right to end or refuse a session if abusive, manipulative, or disrespectful behavior arises.

5. Confidentiality & Use of Materials

• All readings are confidential. Your identity and personal information will never be shared.

  • Occasionally, I may share a photo of a card spread for promotional purposes. I will never disclose identifying information without your explicit permission.

6. Delivery & Communication

• For pre-recorded or written readings:

  • Delivery is via email within 7–10 business days unless otherwise stated. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see it.

• Live (virtual or in-person) sessions will be scheduled in advance at a mutually agreed-upon time. Please ensure your contact information is accurate to avoid missed communications.

• I am not responsible for issues caused by mistyped emails, full inboxes, or delivery errors from third-party platforms.

7. Payment, Cancellations & Refunds

Pre-recorded or written readings:

• Full payment is due at time of booking

• Refunds are only available up to 24 hours after purchase and only if the reading has not yet been completed.

Live sessions (virtual or in-person):

• A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking

• The balance is due before the session begins

• You may cancel for a full refund (minus processing fees) up to 48 hours in advance

• No-shows/No-calls/No-texts will not be refunded or rescheduled

• If I must cancel, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule

If you need to cancel due to an emergency after the cancellation window, please reach out. I may offer a partial refund or credit toward a future session.

8. Integrity & Transparency

• I do not claim to be psychic or omniscient. I interpret the cards to the best of my ability and will always be honest if something is unclear or doesn't come through.

• You are welcome to ask questions during your session. Clarification is encouraged. Follow-up questions after a completed reading may require booking a new session.

• I am committed to doing readings that serve your highest and most authentic good. If I feel I’m not the right reader for you, I will let you know and suggest alternatives.

9. In Closing

By booking a reading, you acknowledge that:

• You have read and understand these terms

• You consent to receiving a tarot or oracle reading under these ethical guidelines

• You understand that readings are for reflection, not guarantees

Thank you for trusting me with your journey.

With care,
