Finally. I’ve fallen in love with Tarot. It took my new deck — the Wildwood Tarot — for it to happen. This deck is not new, but it’s new to me. Tarot is my livelihood, my fascination, my inspiration, my psychic Beloved, the subject of my blog posts and classes and conversations and book purchases……

Act One: This morning, over the course of a few hours, I was pulling Tarot cards for myself, for clients, and for the chat rooms I run — and I pulled the TWO OF WANDS three times! Actually… I think I pulled it more than three times. One may think:  oh she shuffled poorly. One…

It’s magical to go on Google and look at all the different images of the Tarot. Just now I was posting on my Tumblr  pictures of the High Priestess and my understanding of her began to deepen. It’s not that different from digging in the Tarot books, uncovering layers of meaning from different writers. I’ve got…

Well, the biggest news is happening right now (although you, dear reader, may be reading this post after the fact). Sun, New Moon, and Venus — all in sexy secretive Scorpio at zero degrees. And the Solar Eclipse of course. I’m drawing a card for you right now and hmm the Ace of Pentacles. Perfect…

Eclipses are nothing to fear. It would be akin to fearing your life. The Eclipses ARE your life, reflecting your life back to you. The Moon as mirror. I type this and realize: okay sometimes I DO fear my life. What was, what is, what will be. All of it. I fear therefore I am.…

It’s here. In my neck of the woods, it’s here. The better weather. The smell of fall. The rain is a cold rain. I light more candles around the house. I crave warm food and the smell of baking bread and apples and the noises outside automatically lower and descend. It’s as if everybody knows…

Do you ever fall in love and not know why? I fell in love with Tarot. I am in love with Tarot. But I don’t think about it, you know? I just do it. Live it. And sometimes I wonder why or how. As a kid I wasn’t into the occult. I was into music…

What you can do this Full Moon (Eclipse) is release the pain from inside the nut. Release it. Let it go. I wasn’t sure how far this metaphor could take me so I looked up “nut” on my Mac dictionary/thesaurus 🙂 Nut: a fruit consisting of a tough shell around an edible kernel. Your pain…

Are you happy with your life? What do you want to change? Full Moons signal endings, revelations, BIG emotions, and letting go. And a Full Moon Eclipse? Even more so. What do you want to release? It could be a person, place, thing, or idea 🙂 Try this short but sweet Tarot spread for deeper…
