I love Hallowe’en. When I was a kid, I thought it was the most thrilling day of the year…a day when you could transform into anyone or anything, when you get to roam the blustery streets of your neighborhood after dark, a time when the ordinary shifts into the shadowy unknown. I still get that magical feeling […]
Back to School with Tarot
September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. As I write this, it is 27 degrees (Celsius) and sunny outside my window, and I haven’t been a formal full time student for many years now…but part of me is still thinking about buying sweaters and exciting […]
Five Ways You Can Use a Pendulum to Enhance Your Tarot Readings
Tarot is my go-to divination tool. I imagine that we are on the same page here, that you love the cards as much as I do. It is wonderful to dive deep into the imagery, to see how far into the rabbit hole those symbols and archetypes take us. There are endless opportunities for exploration, […]
Make Your Own Luck on Friday the 13th (with Tarot)
I love Friday the 13th. I get excited when one comes up…if I had my way, this would be a floating national holiday. I think that it’s ok to take this day off, or calling in sick may be even more in the spirit. It’s always been a lucky day for me (knock wood). I […]
Tarot under the Full Moon
On June 28, 2018 we experience the Full Moon in Capricorn. I don’t usually sleep well in the time leading up to a Full Moon, and when I do I have extremely vivid, cinematic dreams. Dreams that are somewhat unsettling, and that I remember in great detail. At these Full Moon times, I wake up at […]
A Tarot Spread for the Summer Solstice
June 21st, 2018 marks the Summer Solstice here in our dear Northern Hemisphere, also celebrated as Midsummer and Litha. 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 […]
Monday Motivation: Two of Pentacles
Yes, this is a Monday morning kind of card. I woke up this morning thinking about all I need to get done today. Some things I’m looking forward to, like Tarot readings at my private office, others I’ve been putting off in order to address more immediate concerns but I can’t ignore any longer (the […]
Monday Motivation: Ten of Swords
This morning I am exhausted. It’s all good, I am exhausted from a wonderful and busy weekend. I read and taught Tarot at the Elora Tarot and Divination Festival on both Saturday and Sunday, in between driving back to Toronto to perform a wedding on Saturday night. I pulled this card and thought, yes, this is […]
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: Eight of Pentacles
I just got back from a 12 day vacation, I went to Austria on a kind of family pilgrimage with my sister and my mother. Yesterday I was too jetlagged to be of use to anyone, so I surrendered to it. This morning, I woke up feeling human and ready to tackle the emails and […]
