June 5th is my birthday. I love birthdays and celebrations of all kinds. I think it is important to make note of special occasions, to mark them in some way, otherwise time just seems to slip away, days blend together. This year, I have mixed feelings about my own birthday. First of all, I want […]
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. Throughout the weekend, I was truly grateful for Shelley’s excellent organization (it is […]
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?

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
