I love Halloween. Essentially, I celebrate Halloween for the entire month of October. Since I became a professional Tarot reader, my love for this season has blended into what I do for a living, and now I spend most of October in a witch hat reading the cards at parties and events, as well as […]
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 […]
I love October. I feel aching yet delicious melancholy at this time of year. As the season truly begins to change, I see beauty in the fallen leaves and bare branches, and I feel reverence for this time of rest, retiring into darkness, and communing with the Dark Goddess. At this time of year, when […]
September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. Even though it is still beautiful and summery outside right now, I have already shifted into a place of stationery heaven, dreaming about acquiring all kinds of exciting paper products and writing implements.

I’m a tried and true introvert, so I’m pretty comfortable being by myself. In truth, I need ample time alone (or in the exclusive company of my cat, Willow) to recharge my batteries, to process my own thoughts, and to allow my creativity to flow. Just another day at the office So, the solopreneur lifestyle […]
When you’re learning Tarot (which is a lifetime pursuit, by the way) it is important to read all you can, to study many different sources, to suck in as much information as you can about the many layers of each card. Also, it is important to open up to your intuition, to see how the […]
July has been a month of ups and downs for me (and it’s only halfway through). Mercury Retrograde seems to be playing a role, making me hesitant to speak up and to initiate conversations. And now, on July 16th, 2019, we experience the Full Moon and a partial lunar eclipse. This combination has left me […]
On July 2nd, we experience a new moon and a solar eclipse in Cancer. I am not an astrologer, so what follows comes from my personal experience and my work with the cards. Eclipses throw me for a loop. The energy of this particular one has started to build and I’m feeling it already. It […]
