(This article is a shorter version of a talk that I gave at the Wickedly Divine Divination Parlour on Oct 20, 2018 in Toronto as part of WITCHfest North.) I am a professional Tarot reader and teacher, and I am also a legal wedding officiant, so most of what I do involves ritual, intuition, empathy […]

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, […]
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: 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 […]
Readers Studio 2018: Signs, The Divine, and New York Pizza
This was my fourth time attending Readers Studio. I’d like to write something witty and funny about my time there, but I’m still assimilating all I experienced, and what I experienced was profound. For an introvert and overly sensitive person like myself, a conference can be both beautiful and terrible. The people at Readers Studio […]
Monday Motivation: The Fool
The Fool. Everything and nothing. Pure potential. Living purely in the present. That sacred pause before you take your first full breath and leap into the world. Being born in joy and lightness, ready to join the cosmic dance with pure abandon. The Fool stands poised at the edge of a cliff, a beautiful figure […]
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 […]
Monday Motivation: Ace of Wands
I was dreaming all last night, but I can’t remember much beyond a feeling of excitement and anticipation. I woke up feeling a little lighter than usual, a little more expansive. Before I pulled my card of the day, I wrote this in my journal: [bctt tweet=”Feeling a big shift. Not making myself small anymore, […]
