Hi! My name is Guðrún Tinna.

Don’t be confused by my first name Guðrún. This is a very traditional name here in Iceland and it was also my grandmothers name. Even though I love my first name very much, I always go by my middle name, Tinna.

In Icelandic, Tinna is the name for flint, the hard quartz stone that produces a spark when struck by steel. So it may seem somewhat unusual to have a name that means “black hard stone”, but many of our names in Iceland are closely linked to nature and my name is one of them.

Close connection to nature and the natural elements is at the core of who I am as a person. I absolutely love the Icelandic countryside, fresh cool days and the very long days of summer when daylight dominates the night. This is the very best time in Iceland.

In my work-life, I have a passion for empowering others to improve their lives and to assist people in finding ways to step out of their comfort zones, gaining progress and discover how to experience more out of life. This we can find in conversation with the tarot cards, by exploring our lives through the cards and asking powerful questions.

Aside from teaching others how to read the tarot cards, I also work on various other projects that may at first glance seem completely unrelated to the Tarot, such as product development and production, seasonal shop in the east of Iceland, sea swimming courses in Reykjavík, empowering health and wellness trips in Iceland and abroad, teaching natural medicine, homeopathic consultations, coaching and team building.

How is all of this related to the Tarot cards? Everything I do in my work aims to offer the means to grow in life and discover how to live our lives to the fullest. We can use the tarot cards as tools for exactly that. In conversation with the Tarot cards we can look for clues in how to build our best life and discover our strengths. We can also explore ways to step out of our comfort zone and gain important insights into how to make our dreams come true.

I have used the Tarot cards myself to explore my path in life for over 30 years and I love showing others how to do the same.

And all in harmony with nature 🌱
