Adi’s eyes lit up when I asked him about the first time he bought tarot cards.

“When I was in college back in 2007, I saw a tarot deck and guidebook on sale at a local magic shop. For some reason, I was charmed and bought it right away,” said Adi, who works as a legal translator and interpreter at a local law firm.

We sat together at a coffee shop somewhere in Denpasar, Bali. Adi planned to do a reading at another coffee shop where he used to do readings for his clients, but sadly it was closed. 

With 7,756 followers on Twitter as of Friday and, Adi told me that the first time he got a client from the social media app was back in 2011. The client disappeared without paying after the reading session, which was done online.

It was not until 2018 when Adi began to offer reading sessions again.

“At first, I opened a tarot booth for school events, corporate events, baby showers and weddings. Later, I decided to offer it online,” he said.
