Cheese Reading FAQ
Is this in-person or online?
I can do both in-person or Zoom sessions. In-person sessions are limited to the north side of Chicago (unless travel expenses are paid) and will be held in a local coffeeshop or fromagerie.
What’s the tyromancy process?
First, we will go through a presentation (it’s fun, promise) about cheese magic throughout history and the different ways to divine with cheese. Then, we will look at your cheese and divine from it. You may bring up to four pieces of cheese. I will provide notes sheets with spots for cheese representing the past, present, future, and overall. You do not need to bring four cheeses — bring what feels right to you, and we can cut them up if desired.
What type of cheese should I bring?
Bring one to four pieces of cheese that have variations on the surface or can be smeared. Blue and Swiss are the most common, but anything with veins, ash, mold, or holes will work. Crumbled cheese can work as well, but might not get as good results.
Can I bring vegan cheese?
Absolutely! As long as it has variations on the surface or can be smeared.
Can you purchase the cheese for me?
I can purchase the cheese for you for $10 extra per person.
How long is this going to take?
Sessions typically take 45 minutes to an hour for a single person, and up to two hours for groups. Note that if you are late, the time you missed will not be added on at the end of the session.
How many people can come?
I can read for private groups of up to 16 people, which will take about two hours. For larger groups or events, please email kitchenwitchjen@gmail.com to discuss timing and pricing.
How much does this cost?
$50 per solo session or per person for groups up to 5 people; $40 per person for group sessions of 6 people or more. If I purchase the cheese for you, it will be another $10 per person. The cost includes the presentation and the readings.
Can I give a session as a gift?
Yes! I can create a custom gift certificate. Email me at kitchenwitchjen@gmail.com to discuss.
