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? This goes beyond the temptation of the impulse buys they put close to the check-out at Winners, Marshalls, Sephora […]
Most people dread having to attend work-related conferences. Usually, this is something that you have to endure, just a part of your job. Imagine being able to say that you are attending a work conference that involves crystal balls, Tarot cards and other various mystical pursuits. It is pretty awesome. I got back from the […]
I’ve always had a thing for graven images. I surround myself with representations of Goddesses and other divine guides, helpers and deities. This passion also translates into a love of jewelry depicting Goddesses, symbols and incorporating gemstones. I wear at least one talisman or amulet daily, carefully selected for their energy and purpose. I’ve always […]
(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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Here we have the archetypal Knight-in-shining-armor, a romantic figure on his elegant steed. Pure romance. It is mid-April, and we are in the midst of an ice storm. It is messy and very un-springlike out there. I woke up in a melancholy state, and then I pulled this card. This Knight was an unexpected and pretty […]
I’m an airy Gemini. I spend a lot of time in my own head. My imagination flies towards scenarios of possible triumph or disaster at lightning speed. I’ve gotten into a habit of running through a dizzying array of options before making a decision, which is exhilarating and also exhausting. I’m aware of this, and also […]
