Heroic Tarot

I have been going to Storm for years now, coming from a place of skepticism at first; now my boyfriend and mom even go to him! I didn’t think it was possible, but through the use of numbers and cards, Storm was able to make such a connection to me, my past, my strengths, and my core that I was fighting back tears! I felt awkward and out of place, crying before a stranger, but with laser-​like precision what I needed to work on was singled out. When I left, he gave me homework, which I put off for a bit… but when I stopped ignoring it and starting working on the things we talked about, I’ve reestablished a connection with myself that I hadn’t had since childhood. He’s a midwife to inner greatness, and I’ve made it a point to get at least a yearly check up ever since!
His honesty and integrity are what set him apart from the grifting mole-​nosed fortune hags lining our streets with their neon-​signs. When you make an appointment with him, it’s between you and him. There’s no spying on your lover, that he flatly rejects, but that gets turned around to why I felt like I needed to spy in the first place… there’s no promises of fortune and specialness: what he says is honest, and genuine. Because of his readings, now I made myself free from a toxic relationship from working with his insights. Storm is truly gifted in the art, and I’ve made such internal progress after years of stagnation. No neon-​lights, no telling you what you want to hear, no gypsy curses, no stifling incense or mumbo-​jumobi; just a straight-​forward human being that I could relate to.
Storm, I cannot thank you enough for the years of making me work on myself, and bringing light to places I had given up on!

Storm is warm, kind and a wonderful resource. I can tell he is extremely passionate about his work and genuinely cares. I would highly recommend making an appointment with him for some added guidance in one’s life. Thank you Storm :)

Storm is an incredible guide.
I approached him with my mind and heart full of confusion, completely lost on what to do. He showed me what I encompassed and what influenced me. Completely right about it. Through the whole reading, he allowed me to take notes and he took images of my reading which right away he sent to me via e-​mail, so I could review whenever I needed.
I wanted some guidance as to which path to choose relating my living situation, and he allowed me to draw cards to know what would happen if I chose one or the other. It was of so much help. I chose my path based on my reading and must say I don’t regret it. Easy hasn’t been, but I feel that thanks to the cards, I have chosen the path of truth. Five months have passed since my reading and am ready to go for a second one, as life keeps unfolding and providing me various paths. I look forward to more guidance from Storm and his cards.
You can’t go wrong with Storm.

I absolutely love Storm, he is very caring and helpful. i’ve met him twice in person. His reading was professional and accurate. He is more than a tarot reader, also a teacher, a friend. He gave me an positive energy to look at things differently, i would definitely go back again. He is very warm and friendly, i wasn’t feel uncomfortable when i did the first reading with him, instead it was relaxing and engaging. It was a wonderful experience, i also recommended him to 2 of my friends, and they both had an amazing reading with him. Definitely one of the best tarot readers in the bay!

Storm is sweet, caring, and you can tell he absolutely loves his craft. You can tell that he genuinely wants to help. He’s a person that has found his life mission and is loving it. That much is clear.
I’ve found that if you go into any type of divination method whether it tarot or intuitive readings, the more you help your reader, the more you’ll get out of it. Being skeptical doesn’t help anything. I had very specific questions that I wanted answers for. I «thought» I knew what the answer was going to be — but what I ended up with was something different. What he did was remind me of who I really am and guided me from a choice /​path that truly isn’t right for me.
It’s only been a few weeks since our reading — and it’s still not determined whether the path will completely pan out in the physical sense, but I don’t need that to know the outcome in order for me to know that that this was a therapeutic session and I’m thankful for having done it. In the spiritual sense, I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. He’s the hermit that guided me on a path of patience, gratitude and generosity, which is something easily forgotten in this modern world.
Storm is definitely the person that can show you the way — Just go in it with an open heart, and you will gain perspective you may had never known or lost site of. If you don’t know anything about tarot, it might be helpful to understand a little bit about it first to set your expectations.

I’ve been participating in readings with Storm for about a year now. A lovely soul with a great smile, the first time I met him I knew I could trust him. I felt calm in his presence and at ease. I had a big decision on my shoulders and really needed some guidance. After my first session, and seeing how true the outcome was, I knew Storm was incredibly gifted and have since been a loyal customer.
Since I’m a repeat customer, the cards and spreads change depending on what I’m looking to gain guidance on. He is always dead on with needs and customizes your readings as such. It’s personalized and I appreciate that, nothing cookie cutter about anything. He’s incredibly caring and easy to talk to, so your fears and inhibitions dissipate. He has an impeccable reputation here in San Francisco, the best in the city. Its no wonder why with his gift and sweet soul, it’s the perfect combination.
Storm briefly lived in Santa Fee, but that didn’t stop me from getting readings from him while he was away. Many would say I could have found someone else here in SF, but I trust Storm and couldn’t imagine going to anyone else. He is now BACK in San Francisco (YAY!) and I can’t stress how much the insights I’ve received are incredibly helpful and powerful. I highly recommend Storm to anyone, anywhere.

I participated in a reading with Storm in July of 2011 when he was first visiting NM. Storm has such a wonderfully calming and charming presence that you cannot help but feel you are about to embark on some magical fun with a trusted ally.
I opted for his awesome X-​Men tarot deck when the regular cards needed some more clarity about my questions. Storm is so creative and caring as he interprets the cards and what they mean for your life. He is very open and easy to talk with as he goes through the reading. After my reading he provided me with a digital version of my reading so I could review it on my own.
Schedule a reading with Storm to gain some insights into whatever is on your mind or just for fun!

We heart Storm. We engaged him to come to our company Open House after reading his reviews on Unilocal.Everything was organized via email without difficulty. He arrived early and was very easy to work with.
Our guests were charmed by him. Everyone who had a reading felt a connection with him. We would definitely have Storm come to read cards for us again.

What to say, what to say…
I visited with Storm yesterday, and it’s safe to say that it has recently been a pretty tumultuous time in my life. Accordingly, I went in with … hmm… a hope, or maybe an expectation, or maybe a combination of both, that he’d be able to provide me with some clarity. Let me put it out there that I only visited him because of some of the Unilocal reviews that I saw here, and because my ex had been to see him too. My friends, you did not steer me wrong, and Storm did not disappoint.
Storm begins his session with some calm, fun, harmless banter. We broke the ice, spoke pleasantly for a few minutes, and talked about the most friendly of subjects. I mentioned to him how he had come highly recommended, and he was modestly pleased to hear that. Believe me when I say this my fellow Unilocalers, you will not fine a more easy going, sincere, nice person than Storm. He put me in a place where all of my skepticism and nervousness that existed before were no more. I was ready to begin.
The session itself was on the nose at every turn. Life, work, love, family, past, present, future — all were examined in detail and provided feedback that I could genuinely agree with as being accurate. Moreover, everything Storm did, said, and asked me led me to believe that — not only was he the real deal — but that he actually cares/​cared about my emotional well being, my ability to process the information he was giving me, and my strength to tackle the problems we discussed. I therefore feel like it’s safe to say that Storm’s readings are as validating to the soul as therapy may be. I honestly feel like after my session, I had a better understanding of where I need to focus my concentrations and heart, where I need to heal, and where I also need to let bygones be bygones.
I recommend him to any and everyone. Be advised that he does Skype reviews (this may warrant some skepticism from some of you, but my understanding is that there are steps that he takes to prove to you that it’s possible, and that it’ll be as accurate for you as my in person session was to me). So, consider it.
Easy pweasy five stars.

He’s good reader, however he’s a little impatience person. He speaks very fast .he often change he’s located. before you go better ask .Is okay .but i won’t back again

I recently hired STORM to come to a private party in my home. I had about a dozen guests and decided that having a tarot card reader would be something fun and different for my guests. That was a good move :)
STORM was a huge hit at my party. He arrived, as planned, dressed appropriately and a little earlier than the party start time. He immediately got settled and then greeted guests with me at the door.
The feedback I received from my guests was overwhelmingly positive. STORM was warm, very charming, and provided insightful readings for all. For my apprehensive friends who hadn’t had a tarot card reading before: total hit! He stayed a little later than planned because some readings took a little longer, but this was not an issue and I certainly appreciated him doing this.
I would not hesitate to recommend STORM and I will certainly have him back again! He is an exceptionally talented card reader.

I did my homework on Unilocal when looking for a Tarot reader in San Francisco. We were spending a couple of weeks visiting and thought it would be fun to have a reading. Unilocal had nothing but stellar reviews on Heroic Tarot and so we made our appointments and looked forward to the event.
Storm is an absolutely charming person and we enjoyed meeting him, HOWEVER, as far as the reading went either he is so far superior from anyone else we have ever seen (and this is not our first time at the rodeo) that it was just beyond our grasp to appreciate his reading or we had just paid a lot of $$$ for a very dissappointing experience… at the end of the session, I had no idea what it was he was trying to «read» and one look at my friend after her session and I knew she was just as dissappointed and baffled.
I am being very honest and I don’t want to be unkind to Storm because he really came across as a very sweet person but we paid what I consider to be lot of money for a session that was done in a very public setting (in a restaurant) with people sitting close by, it was difficult to hear and it was just not very insightful.

Well Unilocalers, you done me good.
Little Miss Out of Towner me was going to be in San Francisco for a week and I just wanted a good tarot reading so I made sure to get on Unilocal and do my research. Boy, am I glad I did! And I realize what a good reading may be different from one person to the other but for me a good one is more about guidance than giving me a date, time, place and what I should expect.
Storm was warm and sweet and there was just a sense of kindness in him — that he was there to help, if that makes sense. It is definitely enlightening and encouraging. And he gave me such good insight not only on what I can expect but also about myself… it was such a wonderful experience. Really.
Treat yourself and go see him! You won’t regret it. :)

I had a reading with storm in december 2011 just for fun and to see what it would be like and see if i could learn something. Storm had really good reviews and everyone liked him. He has good insight and is a very nice person who wants to help you. Pretty much the cards and things he told me were accurate and he has good advice about living life in general. I would like to go again :-) 5 stars!

I decided to get a Tarot Reading at the end of the year 2011 so I went on Unilocal to locate a Tarot Reader in San Francisco. STORM has great reviews so I had him to do a reading. Here are few points he stands out from the other readers:
1. The theme of the cards he chooses is unique.
2. The way he dresses is singular. (Yeah, why do I care, I just went there for a reading? Well. I have to share my first impression about him. he is stylish and a very warm person.)
3. He is very creative. Not only he does reading, but also he makes his own lovely candles. (If you are into candles, you may want to ask him to share how he burns his candles safely every day. Well, I love his idea on that!!)
4. He knows his stack of cards inside and out.
5. He is accurately explain my past, current life based on the cards presenting at the time. (Well, I have to be honest, he told me what my next few year will look like. However, I can’t give a comment on the accuracy right now. Yeah, I have to write another follow up review. =).)
I believe, getting a reading is not to predict what will happen in the future, it is for me to be aware what is the better path to choose. I really glad that I met STORM and appreciate his advice!

It’s Halloween. I fancied the idea of spending the afternoon with a Tarot Card reader for a little thrill, to possibly be chilled by cryptic messages sent from the Beyond, so to speak. My vague, preconceived notions of a Tarot Card reading — a person garbed in many layers of exotic clothing, sprinkled with a rich tapestry of obscure trinkets, speaking in a low, half-​whispered, enigmatic voice to suggest that there’s something more to what (s)he’s saying in a darkly-​lit, almost dungeon-​like ambiance — were slapped senseless as soon as I walked into Storm’s shop. The reading took place in a furniture/​accessories store in Lower Haight. We were greeted by a shrill and friendly «Hi» emanating from a nomal, well, normal enough, looking man who was rearranging furniture for our session. Storm sat us down and proceeded to tell us how the couples reading would proceed. He made it very clear that all he was attempting to do was provide a empathic, storytelling experience. I appreciated this frankness.
The reading itself lasted 90 minutes. Being the skeptic that I am, I was on guard at first, meaning that anything that came out of Storm’s mouth was processed through a mental machina that labeled everything as either «That feels about right» or «That’s BS». Despite this, Storm’s friendliness made me actually start listening to him in a holistic manner, and I was thoroughly entertained at the stuff I found about ourselves. He first did individual readings. We pulled many cards at random and he wove little stories about each. Eventually, he tied together our individual personas and told how we work together and what we could do to improve our relationship. If I make it sound like he’s some kind of therapist, I will say that I was a bit shocked at how accurate he was about certain things.
I highly recommend visiting Storm.

I don’t even know how to start… I’m writing this review just as I’ve hung up with Storm and I’m still reeling from the experience.
First off, I must talk about him though. He is a REALLY nice person and makes you feel so comfortable. Talking to him was like… talking to a close friend that I’ve always looked to for guidance rather than a complete stranger. He is not afraid to share his own experience which for me, meant a lot and assured me also.
As for the reading, I was initially thinking about doing it through e-​mail but decided to do it on the phone. Then I thought «okay, I’m only going to do 30mins because I’m sort of awkward and I don’t know how it’ll go but what if it goes well and I want an hour?» Well I asked Storm and he was so nice about it! I told him it was my first time doing a reading, ever, and he told me a few things that reassured and prepped me for the session and he even said he’ll be okay upgrading to an hour at any point in the reading if I wanted to. That response alone made me decide to upgrade to an hour instead of 30mins, which I do not regret whatsoever!!! He even did it on a weekend, labor day, no less. Which I feel bad about but to me, that speaks volumes about a person who is willing to take time out of their weekend for others. He was also really reassuring and nice about it too.
Okay now really onto the reading. I want to start out by saying I’m not generally a person that believed in such things but I wanted to give it a try because well… why not and I am stuck in a sort of a rut so maybe this will help provide some insight. So when he first called me, he had already drew some cards and all of them described me and my situation perfectly. I felt super comfortable talking to him about my situation and the advice and personal experience he provided truly helped open my eyes, as cliché as that sounds, but it is completely true, to problems that have been plaguing me for a while now. It made the whole experience feel very personal, in a good way.
I have to say after this whole experience, I love Storm (not in that way…:p)! and would definitely do more readings with him again. I cannot emphasize how much better I feel after the whole experience (it’s like a boulder being lifted off my body or something). He’s supposed to be coming back into the city in October and I look forward to doing an in person reading (maybe I’ll be less awkward then)!
So in conclusion, if you have problems, questions or anything that you want advice or clarity on: GO TO STORM! You won’t regret it, I promise on everything that I love and value (which is a lot). :)
Oh actually one last note, he sends a picture of your cards to you too after the session! Once again, awesome person!

My boyfriend frequents swankety swank because of its great artistic one-​of-​a-​kind pieces and he took me there one weekend to check out the store. Although i fell in love with a pair of fantastic feather earrings, what i really took away from the visit was excitement to come back and see Storm. Storm has such a warm and open demeanor and he is easy to connect to and feel at home with.
We decided to be adventurous on a Friday night and get a couples reading with him for fun. To be honest, i was nervous and worried but after he sat us down and began to explain things to us, I was instantly calmed and at ease with the whole situation. We had no idea what questions to ask or what information we wanted to know but Storm had fun with us and gave us some really great jumping off points to get the reading started. We left our reading energized, enlightened, completely understood and ready for another visit to the Heroic Tarot!
I had no idea what to expect or what to get out of it, but I’m fascinated and impressed by Storms talent. He is insightful, deeply passionate, knowledgeable, and a real seer of souls. It was such a memorable experience and I highly recommend Storm to both avid tarot customers and newbies like us. We had a great time!!!

I hired Storm for a corporate event I was organizing and he did an amazing job! He was professional, on time and very entertaining. I also had a private reading at the store beforehand to get a feel for him and his method and felt very welcomed and at ease. Also, I loved all the cute hand painted furniture and crafts for sale at Swankety Swank!
I highly recommend him for any event, public or private.

I had my first reading with the lovely and talented STORM at Heroic Tarot as a birthday present this past year. I like to use my birthday instead of new years eve as a time to reflect, reevaluate, make resolutions, figure out goals, and choose a direction for the coming year. Which is boring and grown-​up and reeks of responsibility, if not for Storm. He makes it fun from the start by using X-​MEN TAROT CARDS! Where else can you have your tarot read based on Wolverine and Gambit?! It’s such a special & unique experience, you can’t help but relax and open up during your reading.
Storm is charming, insightful, perceptive, delightful, and divine! He took his time during our session to carefully explain the cards, allow me to take notes, and answer as many follow-​up questions as I needed. I could tell it was important to him that the reading was meaningful for me. He went above and beyond to help me talk through what the cards might mean and how it might relate to my life, past, present, and future. Storm manages the difficult balance of being incredibly professional and having the highest standards of customer service, without feeling stuffy or detached. It was an inspiring, fun, powerful experience that left me in tears more than once! I look forward to going back soon for my follow-​up reading.
