“Aetheric Sage” is a combination of two concepts I feel are close to my heart. When combined, it represents the type of healing I provide, and the type of person I intend to be.

“Sage” can be: an adjective describing something as wise, or a noun defined as a person who is wise. It’s also a herb used in many practices for spiritual cleansing, one that I work closely with.

“Aether” is a word with a long history and many definitions. As a deity, Aether refers to the primordial Greek god of the “upper sky” and the air within it, territory which is closer to the Heavens than to the Earth. He’s seen as a god of light and a protector of humanity, keeping distance between humanity and negative entities of the Underworld while also being a messenger between humans and the divine. He’s associated with the planets and stars.

As a concept, Aether is the name given to the theoretical “fifth element” (also called quintessence) that was an important part of Medieval alchemy. Because it was seen as divine, it was even said to have healing properties that could cleanse impurities and illness. Its associations are similar to its mythological ones: air, the cosmos, and light.

Together, the name can refer to a sage who has Aetheric qualities, or wisdom and healing brought to others through a messenger. There are many ways the two words can overlap to create meaning when combined, and all are ways which speak to me personally.

You will receive your reading within 7 days of sending the request.

This is something that changes alongside my own personal life, so there is no definite answer. Currently, I keep my readings open from 7am - 10pm Pacific Time. If you are unable to book a reading during that timeframe, send me an email and we can arrange an exception.

When you go to schedule a live reading with me, the calendar is synced to my personal calendar, and my available hours are set in the scheduling system. There, you can see what time slots are available each day.

The sky is the limit! I have a list of categories to select from when booking a video call reading, but those are just general ideas. I have done just about everything from mediumship to life purpose work to relationship problems. My favorite readings to do are personal ones, such as healing, promoting personal growth, and finding creative solutions to internal blockages. I’m always looking for new areas to improve upon and different types of readings to experiment with, so don’t be afraid to ask for something that may seem unusual. I can also incorporate astrological components into a reading if you include a link to your extended birth chart, or use pendulum work to connect directly with any guides you may have. These options are restricted to video call readings at least one hour in length, but may be available over email for an extra cost in the future.

Tarot readers are not a replacement for: suicide prevention, emergency responders, doctors, mental health professionals, veterinarians, legal consultants, police officers, or any other professional of any given field. If your situation is an emergency, please contact your local emergency services number or suicide prevention hotline.

If your question is something that should be handled by a person of another industry, and I am not equipped to help you with the situation, I will direct you to somebody who can help better than I can. Examples of this are: How do I get my ex to stop stalking me? (Contact your local police) Should I file a lawsuit against this person? (Contact a legal consultant) Should I commit suicide/how can I stop myself? (Contact a suicide prevention hotline, and/or other mental health services).

If you already are seeing a professional for help in these situations, and would like to use tarot to aid you along your journey or get your spiritual guides involved, you are welcome to see me for a reading. If you are uncertain whether or not your situation applies to this rule, please contact me by email (john@aethericsage.com) and I will tell you what I can do for you.

I will not do any readings that bring harm to another person or impose on their free will. If you’re looking for a way to “get back at” somebody, make them lose their job so you can take it from them, or “make him love you again” I will not do such things. There are ways around the problem that do not involve manipulation or hurting others. If you would like to find a way to get what you desire without negative consequences, tell me about the situation and we will find a position solution.

I will not do any readings with the intention of communicating with demonic entities.

For live readings, you can cancel and reschedule through the links provided in your order confirmation email. To cancel an email reading, send me an email directly (john@aethericsage.com) or through the contact page. Your refund will be manually issued as soon as possible, and may take 2 - 5 business days to process.

Refunds are processed manually by me, not through the website. If you would like a refund, you must email me your request either directly (john@aethericsage.com) or through the contact page. Your refund will be manually issued as soon as possible, and may take 2 - 5 business days to process.

Hopefully! In the future, I may expand my services to include: astrological based readings (natal chart, predictive, and compatibility), pre-recorded video readings, in person readings, energy healing sessions, or an online shop to sell home made products. Keep an eye on the website for updates on future services.

Spread the word! Recommend my services (preferably with a link to my website) to your friends, family, coven members, or anyone you know who would be interested in seeing a tarot reader.
