The Surprising Gifts Offered by the White Flowers in the Six of Cups

S03 Ep053 - The white flower first makes it’s appearance with the Fool, then again on Death’s flag, and many other places around the deck. While it has been attributed to several possible meanings, including the Rosa Mystica, Waite says simply, it is a symbol of new life. And in the 6 of Cups, it’s meaning really holds the meaning of the card itself. This is a card of life and death. Literally. Listen now, and hear the secrets this card has to share! In this episode, I also share my new tarot me...

This Sad Card Holds the Key to Your Greatest Awakening and Breakthrough Yet

S03 Ep052 - When you look back at the things that didn't go right, the things that didn't end well, or all of the things you have retired from your life at this point, either by choice or force, do you feel sad, or excited? Do you mourn the loss or celebrate and take nurture from the life force they once held? We can't hold everything. Not all at once. Some things have to go and in this week's episode, I'm sharing why the things now lost to you are not just spilled milk- they're food for your gr...

All of Your Greatest Wishes and Manifestations Exist In THIS One Card

S03 Ep051 - When you work to manifest something, by the time you have brought it into physical form it is the most stable and solid that it can possibly be and is the least likely to crumble. By the time you have brought a manifestation- something you have wished for, believed in and worked for to this stage- the physical form, it is in it’s most secure form. This is where the idea of strong foundations comes from. Your dreams and wishes being manifested, in the material world, all happens in on...

The All-Female Tarot Triple Threat for Embodied Wisdom Arrives NOW

S03 Ep050 - This conversation is inspired by the 9 of Pentacles- what do you think, bitter spinster or sovereign priestess? Lonely, or just alone? In this State of the Decan report we are going to really navigate all that this card, and her allies, have to offer us. Continuing our exploration of the tarot has us saddling up to a couple of fine ladies this week in the tarot and I cannot WAIT to partner with them, and hope that you will too!

What Sunflowers Can Teach Us About the 8 of Pentacles and Your Unique Expression

S03 Ep049 - You probably think of the 8 of pentacles as kind of boring, just this guy sitting out here doing day-to-day tedious tasks. Churning out the work, no excitement, just making this one thing over and over and over… But what if I told you this card actually brings the MOST exciting energy and opportunities for creativity, and the time and focus to give it form? What we focus on grows, and The Hermit is here with his lantern to shine a light on whatever it is you wish to illuminate, focus...

The Hidden Secret Influence On Every Minor Arcana Card

S03 Ep048 - What if I told you there was a hidden influence on every minor arcana card that made it easier to learn their meanings? That there is something easily understandable that will help uncover or unlock the meaning of a card for us? It’s the secret sauce that explains why moving from one minor card in a suit to the next doesn’t always feel like a “small step”—sometimes it’s a jolt, a pivot, a test. Other times, it’s a seamless transition. So what gives? Tune into this week’s episode to u...

The 10 of Pentacles and the Legacy You Choose to Live and Leave the World

S03 Ep046 - Last week I made this statement: "Tarot is a tool of the sacred feminine". And that caused a rub. Which caused me to reflect on what it is I am teaching about tarot. This card is about so much more than just the pinnacle of material wealth, property or inheritances. The 10 of pentacles is about legacy, and what we leave behind to the generations that come after us. It's about creating a legacy that you believe is important and matters, even if some don't agree with it. Because when y...

The 9 of Pentacles Way to Deeply and Effectively Learn Tarot

S03 Ep045 -The Tarot cards themselves are a gift and an expression of the Sacred Feminine- yet for years we’ve been studying and learning them in a completely masculine way! What if the cards themselves created a pattern that is a predictable cycle you could work with? One that not only tells you “what to expect each week” but does so in a higher way than just answering the questions you pose. It does so by showing you the universal themes happening at all times, changing at regular intervals, t...

Make Your Most Powerful Magic Yet With The Magician

S02 Ep044 - The magician is aaaaaallllll about making magic. I mean it's in the name right? Now why is he related to this time of year? I have said many times, there are cycles to everything in nature, including us, because of course, we are nature. In nature, we have times of contraction and times of expansion. We see this is our natural world in our earth based nature rhythms too. So that brings us to where we are right now. Gemini season is a growing season. Gemini season is a season of CREAT...

Capricorn Season, Pentacles and a LAST CALL for those New Year’s Resolutions

S02 Ep043 - Winter truly is a time of pulling inward. It's a period of contraction. Winter is where we create the space for the amazing seeds we are soon going to plant. This is our period of DEEP REST. I find Capricorn season to represent the true stillness, contraction, and deep rest that winter brings. And knowing these things can help us plan out our time, our projects, and allow us to give ourselves permission to rest. Rest is deeply nourishing and necessary for everything in nature. And yo...

Rituals for Halloween (and beyond!) for Tarot Readers

S02 Ep040 - Halloween and rituals go hand in hand. Although we have turned Halloween into a night of spooky fun, complete with costumes and candy for children, it is really a special night to honor those who are no longer with us, and based on the much older pagan sabbat of Samhain. It's a great time to communicate with those who have passed over, or any of our spirit guides, as the veil is much thinner not only during Scorpio season in general, but this night specifically. Samhain is observed f...

The Death Card: Death and Rebirth- Letting Go During Scorpio Season

S02 Ep039 - Death, rebirth and letting go, these are the themes that let us know that Scorpio season has arrived!​ This is the time of year that we are prime to look into the deepest darkest corners and excavate the things that are no longer serving us. The things that are holding us back. Things that have long outlived their usefulness. Some of these things go all the way back to our childhood,​ and some are just outdated and outworn patterns of behavior, thoughts and beliefs that need to go! J...

The Shadow Self: How to Own and Heal Our Shadow Qualities

S02 Ep038 - The Shadow Self, what is it and where does it come from? How is it formed, and how do we heal it? Why do we have it in the first place? These are all questions that come up when we begin discussing the shadow. No discussion about the shadow is complete without a dive into mythology, as all things related to the shadow are naturally related to the Underworld, which is the domain of Pluto (who in the Tarot, rules the Death card).

What if I could share with you a cool way to use a 3-card-reading, every 10 days, that you don't even have to draw yourself, that could accurately forecast your next 10 days?

Contracts and Sorrow- Gifts of the Three of Swords

S02 Ep036 - The decans and their forecasts, are determined by their astrological associations- so while we may look at the imagery in this card and think it would be a terrible predictor of our week, it's astrology tells a different story. The association for the Three of Swords is Saturn in Libra, and that's the association we need to keep in mind, when we are considering the energy that we are going to be experiencing during this card's reign or tenure. Saturn is cold, dark, heavy, wet, dreary...

Libra Season and Finding Balance with Justice and the Suit of Swords

S02 Ep035 - The Sun has moved into the sign of Libra and we have reached the Autumnal Equinox- the moment in time when the balance of light and darkness briefly become equal. In the Justice card, we often consider things to be “balanced”, when the scales are equal, right? When neither side is tipping farther than the other. Then we are said to be in balance. That might work out on paper, or for a static image on a card, but in real life, things seldom work out so perfectly. In real life, it’s me...

Mabon and the Autumn Equinox: Revisiting The Empress

S02 Ep034 - The Empress represents all that is fruitful. She represents abundance. These are definitely themes of the fall harvest season. The Empress, being ruled by Venus, is an emanation of the divine feminine… as is all that we have gestated in our lives this past season. Whether it be the crops in the ground, or the projects we have worked on over the summer, the process of creation and gestation is divinely feminine and falls under this card. Now at the autumn equinox, the time of Libra an...

10 of Pentacles as an Expression of the Divine Feminine

S02 Ep033 - How does a card of money and wealth relate to the Divine or Sacred Feminine? The suit of Pentacles is known for its representation of money, health, assets, values and valuables. The ten in this suit specifically, is often related to wealth, generational wealth, property, inheritances, legacy- things of value we pass on. Where does the Divine Feminine come in?
