At the end of 2019 I bought myself two beautiful 2020 planners. This is an annual ritual, I love choosing those books, imagining how I will fill them, all the plans I will make and adventures I’ll have. Now those 2020 planners are a bit dusty, thrown aside in a pile of papers that I […]
I have a cat named Willow who I adore. She is uncharacteristically sweet for a cat, but she is unquestionably the reigning monarch of our home. Every day at about 6:00am she wakes me up, looking for her breakfast. She has many tools in her arsenal that cannot be ignored, from literally walking all over […]
I am seeing a shift in the reasons why people are booking Tarot readings with me. When the pandemic first hit, people were booking readings for very practical topics. Many were navigating the challenges and opportunities of “regular” life, looking for fulfilling work, considering purchasing a home, hoping to find a partner or improve a […]
Last Friday, just for fun, I posted this in my Toronto Tarot Circle Facebook group: I loved the responses I got. Some were very confident, and the card they think they are and actually are were one and the same. Some were introspective, expressing a deep self awareness and also a sense of humor. My […]
As I’m writing this, I am so tired. Happy, but tired. October is GO time for Tarot readers. Private clients, events, classes… And, I’ve been really busy officiating lovely Autumn weddings. It’s Monday. I worked all weekend, teaching Tarot and marrying some lovely people. I’m sitting here at the computer, determined to write something, but […]
I had a conversation about New Year traditions at the hair salon yesterday. My lovely long time stylist asked me if there is anything I do in particular, and I mentioned that I have adopted some customs that I learned about in Japan, like eating Toshikoshi Soba for long life, strength and to welcome the New […]
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 […]
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 […]
March 20th marks the beginning of Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and even though I still wore my winter parka today, my heart is starting to believe that gentler weather and green life will soon appear. I’m not a winter person, and by March I am sick of the sight of dirty snow, brown […]
Rochelle Holt, owner of Wonderworks, and I facilitate an ongoing series of events called The Witch is IN. Facilitate isn’t the right word…we dream, weave, conjure and create these magical days that always seem to take on a life of their own by the end. (Next one: Imbolc, details coming soon. If you’re in Toronto, […]
