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, […]

Connecting with crystals, talismans and other mysterious objects with Tarot
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 […]
Readers Studio Tarot Conference 2019 – an Introvert’s Perspective
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 […]
Talismans, Amulets and Tarot: A Powerful Combination
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 […]
Fire Up Your Intuition
(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 […]
Make Your Own Luck on Friday the 13th (with Tarot)
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 […]
Tarot under the Full Moon
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 […]
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 […]
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: Knight of Cups
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 […]
