Last Friday, just for fun, I posted this in my Toronto Tarot Circle Facebook group: I loved the responses I got. Some were very confident, and the card they think they are and actually are were one and the same. Some were introspective, expressing a deep self awareness and also a sense of humor. My […]

Checking in with the Tarot – what do I need to do for myself today?
As I’m writing this, I am so tired. Happy, but tired. October is GO time for Tarot readers. Private clients, events, classes… And, I’ve been really busy officiating lovely Autumn weddings. It’s Monday. I worked all weekend, teaching Tarot and marrying some lovely people. I’m sitting here at the computer, determined to write something, but […]
Smashing Pomegranates: A Tarot Spread for the New Year
I had a conversation about New Year traditions at the hair salon yesterday. My lovely long time stylist asked me if there is anything I do in particular, and I mentioned that I’ve adopted some customs that I learned about when I lived in Japan, like eating Toshikoshi Soba for long life, strength and to welcome […]
This is for those who love Tarot but would rather poke their own eye out than read for other people
I got my first Tarot deck when I was around 13 years old. I don’t remember telling anyone that I wanted a deck, and I bought my own at a New Age shop that I adored (but sadly doesn’t exist anymore). Thirteen is an awkward age at the best of times, and even though I […]
Monday Motivation: Four of Pentacles
This is what I feel like this morning. I want to draw in my energy, hold it within myself. I feel a little vulnerable, I want to wrap myself in a blanket and be cozy and held. I want to feel the earth solid and supportive beneath my feet. I want to keep a level […]
A Tarot Spread for the Spring Equinox
March 20th marks the beginning of Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and even though I still wore my winter parka today, my heart is starting to believe that gentler weather and green life will soon appear. I’m not a winter person, and by March I am sick of the sight of dirty snow, brown […]
Celebrating the Winter Solstice with the Ace of Wands
Rochelle Holt, owner of Wonderworks, and I facilitate an ongoing series of events called The Witch is IN. Facilitate isn’t the right word…we dream, weave, conjure and create these magical days that always seem to take on a life of their own by the end. (Next one: Imbolc, details coming soon. If you’re in Toronto, […]

Happy Summer Solstice and Strawberry Moon
Today marks the Summer Solstice in our dear Northern Hemisphere. The Summer Solstice is a magical time on many levels. Living in the north, most of us long for this day, for the official coming of summer, of warmth, ease, freedom. This is a time when the sun stands still at its highest point in […]
Happy Birthday to Me
It’s my birthday on Sunday (June 5). I have always loved my birthday. Deep in the heart of Gemini, at the time when the weather starts to really cooperate with us, just at the outset of summer holidays…when I was a kid, I took a certain pride in the fact that the two most significant […]
