The other day my sister sent me a link to an article called, “7 German Words We Should be Using in English”. She highlighted one word in particular, one that beautifully expressed a not so beautiful tendency that we both have (although I think more so ME than her). That word is “Kopfkino”. Literally, this […]

Learning Tarot: Embrace the Tarot Journal
Have you ever been surprised to read something that you yourself have written? Sometimes I look back at stories or posts or email Tarot readings that I have written a while back, and I can’t believe that I actually wrote that, it feels like reading someone else’s words. It usually happens when I’ve been writing […]
Learning Tarot: Choosing and Caring for Your Deck
I have recently started to teach Tarot classes in Toronto (my hometown). It’s funny, kind of encouraging, and mystifying, when all of the different parts of your life somehow manage to come together. When I lived in Japan, I taught English, strictly as a means to live and travel in Asia, this was in no way my […]
Your Tarot Year Card: Spin the Wheel
Inner Goddess Tarot turns one year old I am just about to celebrate successfully surviving my first OFFICIAL year in business as Inner Goddess Tarot. (Give me a moment to do a happy dance and then perhaps have a little cry). According to the Tarot, for me, 2015 is a Wheel of Fortune year. This […]
Learning Tarot: The Power of the Group
I am not naturally a group kind of person. Not to say that I’m antisocial, but I am an introvert, and I don’t naturally thrive in large group situations like seminars or conferences. I don’t always want to share my feelings, reveal my innermost thoughts, or go around the room in a circle and introduce […]
Building Bridges: My Readers Studio 2015 Experience
Four times out of five when I told people that I was going to a Tarot conference in New York this April, I was met with dubious looks. I often had to explain that yes, this IS a real thing. And yes, now I know, it is REALLY real. My head is still somewhere up […]
Learning Tarot: Meditation isn’t so easy when you have a cat
The other day, I was doing the homework for my Crystal Awakenings 102 class. This involved working with a particular crystal for one week, meditating with it, carrying it with me everywhere, and noting how it speaks to me. I was doing a meditation that involved lying on the floor on my back, holding the […]
Embrace your Inner (Tarot) Fool
I often feel like a fool, foolish, not fooling anybody, just fooling around…I tell myself to smarten up, get serious, grow up, but honestly, it never seems to stick. So, in honor of April Fools’ Day, let’s talk about how I came to embrace my inner fool, and why you will want to do the […]
Learning Tarot: Using Different Decks to get to Know Your Cards
I have a shamefully, or should I say, shamelessly, abundant collection of Tarot card decks. I have bought old classics, new releases, rare and out of print, and there are still so many that I would like to bring into my life. I plan to create my own someday! Even so, I usually only READ […]
Learning Tarot : Using Crystals with your Cards Part 1
I have always been fascinated by crystals. My wrists are usually dripping with crystal beaded bracelets, there are crystals dangling from my ears, my neck, and there’s often a crystal or two in my pocket. I use a quartz crystal to clear my Tarot deck, and have selenite in my office to keep the atmosphere […]
