I fell in love with the Tarot when I was about 13 years old. As far as I know, my family doesn’t have a history of card reading or divination, and I discovered the Tarot myself in a satisfyingly mystical New Age shop in Toronto. This was before Tarot was as popular or accessible as […]
I usually start my day with my journal and my Tarot cards. I have a deck that I use just for me. Before I pull a card, I write. If something is worrying or bothering me, I pour it out so that I don’t have the pressure of carrying it all day. If something has […]
When I was scrolling through Facebook the other day I noticed a discussion in a Tarot group talking about what the members use the cards for. One person commented something like they use the cards “strictly for guidance, not for prediction”. I didn’t pay a lot of attention at the time and just scrolled on […]
The other day I was at the dentist for a cleaning. Usually this wouldn’t be an event worth mentioning, but for the past two pandemic years any kind of outing is noteworthy. I’ve always had some trepidation around going to the dentist. There is something about the experience that activates my mild claustrophobia. I don’t […]
I approach Tarot readings about LOVE with the utmost respect, compassion, and gentle but persistent honesty. Love is one of the most common reasons that people consult the Tarot, and yet people are often apologetic or sheepish when they ask about it. They don’t want to be a cliché, or look foolish, or make themselves […]
We have almost reached the end of 2021. I don’t want to celebrate the end of the year too soon. I don’t want to express any hubris or tempt the Fates. But, I will be happy to say farewell to this strange year, and to start 2022 with hope and determination and in anticipation of […]
People often tell me that my Tarot readings leave them feeling inspired, uplifted and peaceful. (And I LOVE that.) I think this is because when I read the cards, I’m looking for possibilities, magic, solutions and empowering messages. When I close a reading, I like to offer a blessing to the person I’m reading for, […]
I’ve always had a knack for timing, at least when it comes to the smaller things. If I listen to the urgings of my intuition, I usually get to a restaurant or attraction just before a huge lineup forms, or I get the last one of something before it sells out. When it comes to […]
A Tarot reading is a conversation. Well, my style of reading Tarot is a conversation. It is the reader, the querent/seeker, and a Higher Source of energy sitting down and having a good chat as we peer over the cards. Over the years I’ve learned a lot from reading the cards. In this case, I’m […]
When I’m feeling stressed or overwhelmed, my overactive mind usually treats me to one of the bizarre and vivid anxiety dreams that I have on a rotating roster. My favorite is the one when I am staying at an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean. It is the last day of my vacation, and I […]
