I usually start my day with my journal and my Tarot cards. I have a deck that I use just for me. Before I pull a card, I write. If something is worrying or bothering me, I pour it out so that I don’t have the pressure of carrying it all day. If something has […]
I think magic is all around us. I think the world is woven together with magic. In our day to day lives, we catch tantalizing glimpses of something more, something other, something winks at us from beneath the facade of the mundane. That’s why we love stories and fairy tales with the secret hero, the […]
Over the last few months, I’ve often felt like this. (This is the Four of Pentacles by the way.) I want to hold on to everything that is precious to me. I want to protect everyone I love, I want to make sure that finances are relatively secure, I want to make sure that everyone […]
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 […]

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 […]
September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. Even though it is still beautiful and summery outside right now, I have already shifted into a place of stationery heaven, dreaming about acquiring all kinds of exciting paper products and writing implements. What can be more exciting […]
When it comes to teaching Tarot to complete newbies, one question that always comes up right at the beginning is how they should shuffle the cards. They are afraid of doing it “wrong”, and on a logistical note they aren’t used to shuffling Tarot cards, which are often much bigger than regular playing cards. As […]
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.
