Black Friday has passed, and we are now “in the season” – the wonderful holiday shopping season. Commercial hoo hah aside, we are looking for great gifts to give family, friends, business associates … and the ubiquitous “from me, to me” gifts. There is so much out there in the Tarot world, that I thought [...]

This is yet another rambling post – today’s topic being the “Wounded Healer” archetype. Thanks to @matarotwellness for offering a special reading for healers – which segued in my little mind to the wounded healer archetype.

Re-prioritizing projects – finishing some, starting others. Where will Tarot be [...]

I can now count myself as a good citizen in the Tarot world – thanks to the timely advice of @TABItarot I am now using Google Reader, and have RSS feeds to many Tarot blogs of interest. Much easier than trying to remember to cruise by them at least once a week. All I have [...]

Welcome to Friday the 13th! For some people, myself included, this is just another day. For other people, in varying degrees, there is a sense of scariness, of fear of the unknown, of something really, really bad happening.
In 2009 there were three Friday the 13th’s – one in February, one in March, and now one [...]
Health Care Legislation Passed

On Saturday, November 7th, 2009 the House passed the much ballyhooed Health Care Legislation. This is the first step in the process – now it moves on to the Senate, then the Senate version moves back to the House. It is monumental that this legislation passed, and it has a long road to go. I [...]

I just finished reading “The Winter Ghosts”, by Kate Mosse. What an extraordinary book! It talks about the things that haunt us, and how they can take over our lives. The story takes place in the France, in the areas of Toulouse and Nulle – areas that have seen tremendous bloodshed, and whole people’s obliterated.
The [...]

I did my Samhain readings at midnight – the perfect time! Glass of wine in hand, pumpkin glowing, I sat down with two decks – Kat Black’s “Touchstone Tarot” (touchstonetarot.com)and Ellen Lorenzi Prince’s “Tarot of the Crone” (croneways.com). By my side I had Ari Stones “Tarot Journal (AriStone.Art.com,) to record the readings in.
