I have a secret ritual I do before every tarot reading that supports the accuracy of my readings. A few years ago, I started incorporating this ritual into my readings because the (preliminary) information I got before even creating the tarot spread was so powerful that it added value to the …
Tarot vs. Oracle
If you have ever wondered what the difference is between Tarot cards and Oracle cards, this email is for you. Tarot as a divination system has been around since the late 1300s. There are 2 "decks" in a tarot deck, which include 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana. (Arcana means "secrets.”) The …
Advent Tarot, Anyone?
If you, like many people, have wanted to explore tarot but haven’t been able to stick to it, why not take a page out of the “advent calendar” idea? You have probably already seen a bunch of advent calendars in your lifetime. There is no magickal history to advent calendars. They originated in …

The Bright Side of ‘Rona
In my neck of the woods, the “stay-at-home” order was *finally* put into effect on Thursday. On one hand, I am happy about this. The sooner we contain the spread of this virus the better. On the other hand, I am at a loss without something to do. I am ALWAYS working on some project …

My intention for 2018 is to bring more magick into people’s lives. So, in this newsletter, I will introduce you to my approach to magick. “Setting intentions” is very different from “setting goals”. And after the last two (trying) years, I learned the value of counting blessings over counting …
