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 […]
Five Ways You Can Use a Pendulum to Enhance Your Tarot Readings
Tarot is my go-to divination tool. I imagine that we are on the same page here, that you love the cards as much as I do. It is wonderful to dive deep into the imagery, to see how far into the rabbit hole those symbols and archetypes take us. There are endless opportunities for exploration, […]
Monday Motivation: Two of Pentacles
Yes, this is a Monday morning kind of card. I woke up this morning thinking about all I need to get done today.

Monday Motivation: Ten of Swords
This morning I am exhausted. It’s all good, I am exhausted from a wonderful and busy weekend.

For an introvert and overly sensitive person like myself, a conference can be both beautiful and terrible. The people at Readers Studio […]
Navigating Grief when your job is to hold space for others
Grief is different than I imagined it would be. About six months ago we lost my Dad, and I feel worse now, or I feel MORE now, than I did then. Grief has become a more visceral thing. When my Dad was sick, I shifted into pure adrenaline mode. My family created a pattern of […]

Tarot and Manifestation: Keeping New Year’s Resolutions
I’m not a big fan of arbitrary New Year’s resolutions, but I find that it’s natural when we hit the end of any cycle and the beginning of a new one to think about where we are, where we want to be, and what changes we need to make to get there. Rather than creating […]
Make the Most of Your Tarot Reading: Love & Romance
The majority of my clients are women. Intelligent, accomplished, professional, mature, beautiful women. (Yes, I thank my lucky stars everyday.) I am always amazed at how many of these luminous women are coming to me to discuss LOVE. Mainly, their frustration at not being able to find a real, rewarding long term relationship. Or, having gone through […]
