What tarot says about control

What a fallacy control is. I was raised to believe that if you worked hard and were a good person, life would reward you. It was also instilled in me that you had the power to change your life and control your path. While I do believe we have free will and choice, the reality […]

High and Low Vibrations

The spiritual community often talks about energies being of a high or low vibration. High-vibration energies are considered to be connected to Spirit, the Divine, Gods, Goddesses, and the Higher Self (to name a few). Tarot readers, reiki healers, and all manner of spiritual practitioners sometimes talk about raising their own vibrations in order to […]

Positive Realism

I saw a video Fiona Apple recently posted on TikTok, and it was inspiring. She talked about a technique she’s using to find greater joy throughout her day. Every time something positive happens – even something as small as noticing a tree – she pauses and focuses on the moment and experience for thirty seconds. […]

Court Cards, like you, are more than one flavor

Tarot is Empathy

I was recently reminded that the art of reading the cards (and all psychic work, really) is not just about the ability to know and see other people’s reality. It doesn’t matter how psychic or talented you are; if you don’t create a loving space to support people, you’re not serving their (or your) highest […]

Look for the Clues

Look for the clues. There are always signs that tell us about our lives. Yes, intuition is involved, but so is logic. So many headaches and heartaches could be avoided if we just looked for the clues. We call them red flags, but their color can be slightly more subtle than red. With family, friends, […]

Can tarot cards accurately predict the future?

I do believe that tarot cards can predict the future. Tarot is a powerful tool, so care must be taken with predictions. Predictions can cause more harm than good in some cases. In other cases, predictions are a lifesaver. I avoid predictions that I feel would harm the Seeker to know. When you tell someone […]

Life is Colorful and Horrific. Let’s hear it for the Hanged One archetype.

Life has become easier for me when I recognize that it’s both colorful and horrific. Try it. It’s nice to realize you can enjoy things when they’re going good, and when they’re not, throw up your hands with “oh well to hell” because you seriously can’t control everything. Light and shadow are always together, BFF’s […]

Life is hard, but you don’t have to be

I’ve been told many times growing up that life is tough and not fair, and that everyone had it much worse than me. In other words–toughen up kid. (You gen X folks know what I’m talking about.) The only thing that being “tough” brought me was a disconnect from my body, feelings, and reality. Do […]
