Can you tell me more about yourself?

I've been studying and practicing the "mystic arts" since childhood. I always found it fascinating fun, and not difficult at all; my teachers say I am "naturally gifted".

I've been doing readings most of my life (no, you can't ask my age), the last ten years I have only been reading for clients. Before that, I was a theatrical performer and producer who did reading between shows! I left performing when I realized the reading where much more exciting for me, and I was struggling to meet the demand for readings.

About ten years ago I was contacted by Hotel Zaza to do readings in the evenings at the hotel. I enjoyed doing that until my private practice became so busy that I was just unable to burn the candle at both ends. It was Charlie Givens, an owner of the Zaza Hotels, who first christened me "the Fortune Teller of Dallas". My life-long friend and business partner David Alexandre now reads in the evenings at Hotel Zaza Dallas.

I have been very fortunate to be a graduate of Catherine Yronwode's first Hoodoo Course, and I am a proud member of both the Association of !Independent Readers and Rootworkers and Hoodoo Psychics. Also, I have published a book for professional readers, presented programs and classes at the Bay Area Tarot Symposium, The Reader's Studio in New York, and the Lucky Mojo Spring Workshops. I have been published in Tarot World Magazine and was featured in the Dallas Observer's annual "Best of Dallas" issue in 2008, as well as CBS's " Best Tarot Reader's" guide.

Currently, I am working on a second book, seeing clients daily, sponsoring the Meetup" Dallas Divination", and teaching an ongoing class on folk magic and fortune telling.

What is the best way to reach you to discuss an appointment?

The quickest way to reach me is by email: valentina@valentinaburton.com
I am difficult to reach by phone, as I am literally reading for clients all day and my phone is turned off during that time.

How soon can you read for me?

I usually will be booked up at least a week ahead; occasionally I will have a last minute reschedule that will open up an appointment slot.

What solutions do you offer?

David and I offer our clients a bird's eye view of the patterns at play in their lives. In doing so we are able to work from where they are to where they would like to see themselves in the future. The bonus is because we use various forms of divination we are also able to determine the likely outcome of any given situation. Our clients find this most helpful and feel a renewed sense of power and purpose as a result.

Where can I find some customer testimonials?

You will find independent reviews of our work all over the internet, on such sites as Citysearch , Yelp , and GigMasters.com.

What products do you offer?

Currently, I am offering hour long private readings by appointment only, fortune telling for private parties and events (please see the parties tab for details), and ongoing classes in folk magic and fortune telling. Please email me if you are interested in the classes, they are very small and fill up quickly.
David reads at Hotel Zaza on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, unless he is booked at a party. My books are available on Amazon and at Lucky Mojo Curio Company.

What are your fees?

All sessions are one hour long and the fee is 100 dollars.
