About Northern Lights Tarot

Northern Lights Tarot is the magical homestead of Johanna Hallin. It is a place to share a tarot practice rooted in the traditions of northern Scandinavia, both readings and tools to build a practice of one’s own.

The practice of Northern Lights Tarot builds on the embrace of many perspectives – that which is coded male as well as that which is coded female, the rigorous and the expansive, science and imagination. You are invited to take control of your own path and use the services and tools offered here in the ways they best serve your journey. Sometimes this might mean leaning into the science, other times into the spiritual or the visual or the intuitive. 

“My day job is at one of Europe’s largest research institutes, where I’m surrounded by the belief systems of logic and of the secular. It is amazing, being embedded in the depths and breadth of insight representing many different fields, and I am proud to be a part of furthering knowledge for positive societal transformation,” Johanna says.

“But it also has its limits, which is why I have also embraced the practice of tarot and hedge witches and the folklore of my native lands at the edge of the Arctic in northern Scandinavia. This allows me to add layers of unknown, of intuition and faith. It creates a space of freedom and power, very precious for a woman graying and growing invisible, a space expanding beyond the boundaries of the patriarchal and internalized limits of the society I inhabit.”

Northern Lights Tarot is a blend of these two worlds, science and magic. We hope that our offering will bring you ways of embracing both.
