I just spent a glorious weekend in Elora, Ontario at the Elora Tarot and Divination Festival. This was the second year Shelley Carter organized this lovely event, and I hope its going to be an annual one for many years to come.

Ok, so I know that’s a lofty title. All I can say is that this is the best way that I have discovered to fight and defeat my own procrastination tendencies. Before I reveal it, let me back it up a little. When I say procrastination, I mean avoidance of doing what you should to, […]
Have you ever felt compelled to buy a specific item, perhaps a piece of jewelry with a symbol on it, clothing with a particular pattern, or a certain crystal or statuette, and you can’t explain why?
