Remove the Monster From Tarot

Hello! Greetings! Salutations!

As a writer and English teacher, I love words and etymology. Once, I pondered the word “Demonstrate” and realized that it may have the word “Monster” in it. English is a mess of so many languages that my guesses are often wrong though. So I looked it up, and  . . . huzzaahh . . .

From de- “entirely” (see de-) + monstrare “to point out, show,” from monstrum “divine omen, wonder” (see monster)
Source

To show the monster . . . to teach . . . just that these words are related is delightful. To have ‘divine omen and wonder’ included only uplevels my glee.

To de-monster-ate is the act of entirely taking the monster out of.

So much about Tarot is misunderstood. It is up to those of us who love it to demonstrate the truths of it.

If you know someone who has the wrong idea  around what Tarot is about, please share my most recent YouTube on What to Expect from a Tarot Reading with them.

If you want to look closer at the fears in your life to bring divine omen and wonder into any situation, contact me for a tarot reading or intuition coaching session.

I hope to see you soon!

Here’s what another student, Sally, had to say:

“Jenna is a phenomenal teacher and communicator, so even though I had reservations about the course being online, it was extremely engaging. It really changed my view of how impactful virtual readings can be! The amount of information in the course was immense and will continue to fuel my development as a reader for quite some time.

Finally, I want to share with you a saucy song that I wrote most of the lyrics to.

Over a decade ago I wrote lyrics about a challenge many of us face. It wasn’t quite a song, more like beat poetry, with no bridge or chorus. I asked a few musical friends to help me flesh it out, but no one took the bait. 

Then my friends Melody Sunshine, Teresa Bawd, and Jen Estevez started a band called the Menage Ah Twats, full of hilarious songs about the female experience. 

Melody took the lyrics and moved them around and added a few of her own and made a full-fledged song! I am so honored and delighted. Below is at it’s debut public performance. (Please excuse the wavy camerawork at first.)

Happy Beltane,

For Spring we get to enjoy one of my favorite decks, the World of Hilda curated by Reese Marren

We begin with the High Priestess giving herself a bath in the waters of soapy wisdom. She’s got the kettle on to brew up some time to listen to her inner knowing. This May, gift yourself a deepening into self-trust.

The first question to ask yourself is the 2 of Wands primary question: “What do I desire to put my best energy toward this season?” 

Tune into both your firey cravings and your highest wisdom to find the steps forward that combine the two sensibilities. 

What you are seeking is seeking you, and you will need to put yourself full throttle into the chase toward that which calls you to acquire it. 

The King of Wands is the best way to enact this fresh certainty. Come out of the shadows of winter to alight your wings into the spring.

Set the shy aside as you revel in your own sparkle and show off what you’ve got to the world. Bring forth your zest to impress. It’s a time to shine and go for your goals with levels of confidence that would appear silly if you weren’t so convincingly fabulous. 

Want to read the cards for yourself? 
Join my class that starts tomorrow!

Step into your best future with an online or in-person tarot reading or an intuition coaching session with me this month.  

Court Card Characters

A client has collected a group of friends who all want to learn tarot and we have a tarot class happening in May. 

They graciously welcome more of you to join us! (The dates slightly changed from the last email about this, and these current dates and times are solid.)

Here’s what one student, Devon, had to say: 

“I took the three week on-line class The Art of Tarot with Jenna and it was fabulous! She is an excellent teacher and made the cards make sense and come alive in an easy and approachable way. Class was fun! I learned SO much! Take a class, have a private lesson or get a reading from her.”

I am also teaching an interactive workshop on Psychic Intuitive Skills at the Spirit Northwest Conference in Portland this weekend. There are still day passes available for Saturday when I teach.

Today I am offering a small lesson to give you a taste of how I break down the cards into simple concepts.

The court cards are the character cards. They are personalities and ways of approaching life. 

Sometimes these relate to community in your life and sometimes they represent phases of self that you are stepping into. 

For instance, if you’re a new homeowner, you’re probably going to get the pentacles suit more as you figure out the earth in your life. You will likely learn to manage resources, finances, physical projects and grounding. 

If you’re in school, you’re probably going to get the swords suit characters who are the most intellectually engaged. These folks are focused on reasoning, wisdom, and communicating in a direct and logical fashion. 

A fun way to learn the court cards is to align a character from a movie, book, or your life reflects the nature of that personality.

Action heroes would fit in with the wands suit for instance. Especially ones who don’t think too much or plan too much before they jump into getting to kicking butt. 

Actors also can reflect aspects of the cards. Creative powerhouses such as Meryl Streep are a wonderful representation of the cups suit. The way she’s able to empathically embody nearly anyone with emotional depth is a great example of the cups energy. She’s also a Cancer Sun Sign, which fits the same zodiac aspect of water elements as cups.

If you’re familiar with astrology, you can use the zodiac to be a part of the elemental nature in the court cards as well. 

Next, you can look at the age mentality of each the court cards.

Pages are open-minded, curious and youthful in spirit. While they have young energy, an elderly person who is retiring and wants to step into a totally new hobby is also a page in that field. 

Knights are actively engaged in the pursuit of their passion for the element they are representing. They often can be a bit smug in their confidence. Think of someone getting more talented at aspects of life without real experience to back it up yet.

Queens and Kings are equals as peak examples of skill in their elements. The Queen’s bring a more feminine energy to their mastery. Kings bring a more masculine energy. Don’t get caught up in the gender binary. Anyone can reflect the masculine or feminine in how they are holding their power.

This is a small taste of a light tarot lesson to get across. We go over this in depth and dive into more complex subjects in the class. We will learn about reversals, symbolism, numbers, tapping into your own psychic gift, and juxtaposing the cards to create a new meaning, among other lessons.

No time for class, but still want to learn? Bring a group of friends together for a lower individual rate when you sign up for a tarot reading lesson with me.

Learn the cards while listening in each other’s readings in a Tarot Together session.

If you prefer to get a reading from a professional instead, sign up for a personal tarot reading session.

Give your community the gift of short reading tastes when you hire tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers for your next event. 


Have a great weekend with whatever court card characters you choose to hang out with.

Somatic: More than a Hot Topic

Everyone’s using the word “Somatic” these days. You have likely already integrated some related practices into your life. 

The term comes from 1976 when professor and theorist Thomas Hannah defined the concept. It is a fancy word to describe something essential to us all, so I am glad it’s getting talked about.

At it’s core, it’s about healing and soothing through body awareness rather than thinking and talking about our challenges. 

While this is associated with a type of trauma therapy, it is valuable to all of us to learn these skills for our daily sense of well being. 

Here are just a few ways you can access this methodology today: 

Ground: Feel your body weight and how you are touching the earth, stay present with this for at least 3 breaths.

Track Sensations: Notice what you are internally feeling without a story or any judgment.

Body Scan: As Vipassana Meditation teaches, scan your body from the top of your head to your feet, going ‘part by part, piece by piece’.

Resourcing: Retreat in your mind to a time and place where you felt safe and secure, in love and comfort. Be present with this past moment with a recollection of how your body felt.

Pendulation: Focus on a comfortable part of your body, and then focus on an uncomfortable sensation. Go back and forth between the two until the discomfort regulates (even a little is progress). 

Soothing Sounds: Make a humming or ‘Vooing’ sound to trigger the vagus nerve to relax deeper. (There are dozens of great Vasovagal release methods beyond this option as well).

Self-Contact: Warm your hands by rubbing together and then touch the part of your body that feels discombobulated. Send ease and relaxation there. 

Stretching / Dancing: Tune into a yoga session on your own or put on some music and stay very aware of letting your body move how it needs to without self-consciousness. 

Self-Hug: Wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze and tense a bit, then tap each shoulder with your fingers as you release.

There are naturally many more techniques to dig into, including various types of breath work. I hope you’ll choose a few of these to try right now and observe whether they have an affect on you. 

I love how these practices naturally tether us to our intuition. Using our gut is trusting the signals our body gives us without deduction or logic.

If you want to access this more, I am teaching an interactive workshop on Psychic Intuitive Skills at the Spirit Northwest Conference in Portland next weekend. 

We can also integrate these techniques into a  personal tarot reading session.

Engage with receiving and giving empathic energy when you bring in a loved one for a Tarot Together session.

Bring a group of friends together for a lower individual rate when you sign up for a tarot reading lesson with me. 

Give your community with some somatic goose pimples when you hire tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers for your next event. 

Have a great weekend of paying attention to your whole physical and emotional experience with love and compassion.

Dedicated to Frivolity

When you hear the word “Committed”, what areas of effort come to mind? 

These seem like the obvious answers:
Relationships / Marriage / Family
Success in a Career
Health and Diets and Workouts

I admit that I thought about this subject this week because I am starting a 3 month effort towards a health goal. 

But this got me thinking about how many things we dedicate ourselves to that are not so heavy. 

You can commit to watching all the seasons of a TV show. There were multiple episodes of Succession that I had to drudge through, but I made it to the end. I was dedicated.

People who set their sites on Burning Man know that it takes a lot of will power to do all the things to be self-reliant on the playa. Hot Tip: the best time to buy tickets is in July when many crumble like dust in the wind. 

We assert our will power often on things that are not about serious gains. We simply approach these from a different energy. It almost seems like this casual angle might empower us more.

Time is varied in our less obvious goals as well. 
You might make a weekly effort, as I set the intention to get this newsletter out with consistency.
Perhaps it’s a daily journal practice.
It could be deciding to always have protein bars in a reachable spot in the car to hand out to homeless people whenever the opportunity arises. 

What is one casual thing you have achieved without really thinking about it as a commitment? 

What is something silly that you have owned fully? 

How do you feel about this effort and how you approached it? 

Today you can consider: What playfulness am I committing to for this Spring and Summer? 

How do you want to take this ability to make nonsense happen organically and apply it to your own joy?

What is something that makes you lights up that you can let yourself focus on this season? 

There is a power in bringing absurdity to heaviness, much like an inflatable frog or a musician in a banana costume might be standing up for a very real cause.

With this lightness in mind, is there a way to approach a less fun goal from a place of the joy it will bring you someday? 

“Mmm, I am so excited to fill out this tax receipts spreadsheet so I can feel the satisfaction of turning it in and be done with it! Yum!”

Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers,

Jenna Lynne Roberts

Present Path Tarot

Portlandia Fortune Tellers

Today we get a double reading with the Sci-Fi Tarot by Todd Alcott and the Sci-Fi Oracle by Shannon Loftis. 

(NOTE: Shannon’s deck was NOT done with AI, but rather a collection of open use art she curated the deck from)

These two sets appear to be touching on a similar message around reconsidering a reboot of your system. Time to turn it off and turn it back on again.

The Queen of Wands goes full power forward, often without assessing her actions. She’s a strong Aries who activates her will into the world at a fierce pace. 

And BLAM, she runs right into the patience card of the 7 of Pentacles, while standing on top of a big X that signifies to desist efforts. 

This is a loud call out to PAUSE. 

The 7 of Pentacles is standing on top of the Scanner card, so it’s not a restful time though. 

Rather, you want to hit the brakes and pull over and open the engine and check the fluid levels. Is anything amiss?

If all looks well in the mechanics, then you can consider if your methods and directions are aligned with the best possible path. 

Look around and see if anyone on the team is untrustworthy or unreliable. The words ‘clear parasites’ on this card makes me think of energy vampires who are taking more than they give back. Set new boundaries with these characters. 

Once you have cleared up any issues and clarified the best fresh steps to achieve your goals, the King of Wands reversed arrives to ask you what pace is reasonable for the next phase. 

The King of Wands can be doing things for show that don’t serve the final outcomes. He can also be scattered in efforts, trying to do too much. 

Before you dive back in, check in with your Control Panel to consider how much effort is too much, and what efforts are out of alignment with your most effective role. 

You might want to disperse some of the tasks to others so you can focus on your own skill set. Are you trying to control too much?

Once you have these details in order, you are ready to start up the engine again and enjoy a smoother ride after the tune up. 

Want a better manual to assess what needs adjusted in your plans? Try an I-Ching and Tarot reading. Step into your best future with an online or in-person tarot reading or an intuition coaching session with me this month.  

Aries Rams Through Astrology

Aries is having big influences this month. I am not an astrologer, but I am gleaning from what they say about our current flow.

For one thing, Aries has been in Venus since the start of the month. This heightens relationships in areas of passion and competition. This can be hot or combative, depending.

I had an intense week with a lot of communication challenges, house mishaps, interpersonal drama, and embarrassing mistakes. 

I spoke with some other friends who also were challenged with cancellations and frustrations in communication. 

I understand this ambiguity is related to the recent start of a Saturn and Neptune conjunction in Aries that we’ve been in since Feb 20th, around Chinese New Year when the Fire Horse began. 

This dynamic can make things foggy and unclear. But the Sun in Aries is shining light on more answers. 

In one personal instance, I found out that my booking form for Portlandia Fortune Tellers had not been properly sending emails to me. 

Just as Aries entered into the Sun, a woman wrote to me and asked why I hadn’t responded to her booking form. 

I’m so grateful for her checking in because this alerted me to the problem. I was able to gain clarity and hopefully fix it with Google workspace support.

It turns out that some emails would come through and some not. Foggy. Mixed. 

As frustrating as it was to find out that this glitch was in my matrix, I’m much more relieved to have found out about it and hopefully managed it properly. (Grateful to anyone who sends me a test booking form submission and lets me know via email so I can be certain if it’s functioning properly now.)

This got me thinking about all the times that bad news ends up being good news in a strange way. I would rather have known about the challenge even if it was an upheaval in my week to learn about it.

Keep an eye out for the ways that fogginess is turning into clarity in your own life. 

What are some things that you felt hazy about that you can sit with more curiosity towards? 

Perhaps ponder on a time in your life where something very challenging happened that felt very ambiguous and confusing but then opened itself up to a blessing of new wisdom.

Was the cost worth the awakening?

If not, can you offer yourself some compassion for the hardship? Give yourself some credit for pulling through it, stronger and more aware.

Sit with what messages seem to be illuminating themselves in the Aries Sun over the next few weeks. 

If you aren’t sure, ask the cards in a  personal tarot reading with me. 

Bring in a friend for a Tarot Together session where you split the hour.

Find your own clear messages in the symbols during a tarot reading lesson with me. 

Be the firey life of the party when you hire a tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers. 

Relish the spring blossoming with new light.

It Takes a Village

A wonderful message in the I-Ching is #45: Gathering Together.

The deck I have displays a river that represents all the different tendrils of skills coming together to build something.

One of the greater challenges of this era seems to be how much we are each individually required to be decently good at doing nearly all the things ourselves. 

As I watch my parents get older, I see how much they need to rely on community around them, when they have often played the role of support for others. 

As a small business owner, it has been a humbling experience to acknowledge what I’m just not that good at.

A few weeks ago I sat with an old friend of mine, Gray Ayer, who is a web developer and small business digital marketing consultant. 

After only a simple question, he quickly saw how many tools I was missing for SEO analysis purposes and set me up. He helped me understand what a website can do in ways I had not considered. 

It opened my mind to realize how much more I need other people to grow as a business.

Then I injured my knee while dancing as a leprechaun on Tuesday. I was very grateful for the support of my ex, Christopher at the Acupuncture Center of Portland, who gave me a last-minute session the next day. He was able to comfort me that it was most likely a less serious issue than I feared. 

When I think about it, it’s easy to remember all the little things that friends have done to support me in my well-being and my business. 

We have moved so far away from the village. It’s up to us to bring it back, one collaboration at at a time. 

Today, the activity is to write down three things that you feel overwhelmed by.

Then write down one or two people who can help you with each. 

If you don’t have someone in your community who can do it for free, consider who’s worth paying and what you can afford for this level of support. Consider what you offer with those who might be willing to do a time-for-time trade. 

When I was first building this business, I listened to an entrepreneur who pointed out that the first thing you ask for help in is cleaning. It takes a lot of time and there’s usually a lot of skilled people out there who can do it for a reasonable rate.

Sometimes the cost is also worth the trade-off for how much better quality you get. I could not have done what Gray offered support in. I didn’t even know those tools existed.

As I get older, I like the idea of building a chosen family community. Who in my community can help me manage paperwork and bureaucracy when health crisis happens? Who in my community is the best emotional support? Who loves to cook? Who likes making spreadsheets? What can I offer in similar or unique skills? 

I realize that we need a diverse community of skills to grow old together with. 

Get other ears tuned into the guidance you need to receive and reciprocate the same in a Tarot Together session where you split the hour.

Feel at a loss of how to get support? Start with the direction offered in a personal tarot reading

Develop your own skills in the cards during a tarot reading lesson with me.

Deepen Old Connections

This past week I enjoyed a small family reunion with my aunt and cousin who I grew up with. It had been seven years since I had seen them. I can’t recall the last time we spent more than a day together, despite my cousin and I growing up like sisters.

During our visit, my closest friend from my two years living in Taiwan also reached out. We lost touch since I visited her in 2008 in Montreal, Quebec. 

All this got me thinking about levels of connection.

I had presumed a lot from mere phone calls with my family. Brief check in’s and updates for years impressed a sense that my relatives had remained consistent with who I remembered.

Spending time together for multiple days, I observed far more depth of character in how each of them had evolved through time.

I witnessed my cousin care considerately for her mom in her elder years. My aunt went beyond our usual quick phone chat shares. She asked me meaningful questions about my life, reminding me of her wonderful curiosity for others experiences.

I know their dynamic and was able to act as support in a way that close family comprehends.

Then an old friend reached out after perhaps 15 years silence. She shared how important that era of her life was and the relevance of my role in her favorite memories. She seemed surprised and delighted that I reflected the same sentiments about her influence in my life.

During all this, I also saw one of my oldest friends who I have been in consistent contact with for the last long while. We have an ease earned with regular time shared. She served as a grounding point for me in the whirlwind of reconnecting with family.

Each of these connections felt precious and unique, and the level of contact we have shared through the years lent to very different wavelengths of understanding. 

Consider today your own connections.

Who is someone you are grateful for the constant contact of through the years? Perhaps journal about the role they play in your own sense of self.

Who is someone who played a valuable role during a key point in your life? Have you lost touch with them? Perhaps reach out to share the meaning they still hold in your heart.

Do you have any family that have been relegated to occasional phone chats or holiday gatherings? Is it time to arrange a longer visit or perhaps a regular family-wide video call?

Think today of someone from your past you wish to draw back to the present, even if only to let them know how they impacted your life for the better. 

Add depth to your connections when you bring them in for a Tarot Together session where you split the hour.

Or, inspect deeper into your own relationship patterns during an in-depth personal tarot reading

Bring in an old friend to bond with for a tarot reading lesson with me. 

Make your family gathering more meaningful when you hire a tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers.

Present Path Tarot

Our reading today is with the cheeky Housewives Tarot by Jude Buffum and Paul Kepple

We begin with the Judgment Card, which is about finding your own clarified truth. 

I love that the image presented in this deck reflects the clash of society’s norms versus our inner acceptance of our own personal meat suit. Tis the season to feel anxious about fitting into last Summer’s fashions. 

Let’s take that as a metaphor of the high expectations we feel pressured to live up to. How can you nourish yourself in a 4 of Swords Spa Day? 

Find some time to rest mentally and listen to the stories you are sewing with rotten thread. 

With Mercury in retrograde this month, it’s time to reflect on the defeating tales that spoil our centered confidence and certainty.

The Hermit’s bath time is washing out the belief systems (BS) that detract from our own wisdom. You are your own best guru, and the Hermit takes time to tune inward to find what that Judgment Card epiphany is all about. 

The King of Cups reversed could indicate that you are emotionally needing to add some of your salty tears to that epsom Hermit bath. Even if you don’t know what the cry is about, allow for an emotional release. 

Or, the King of Cups reversed could also be about an emotionally stuck masculine figure in your life who might not like your newfound awakening. Don’t let his distaste for what’s for dinner halt you from serving up your finest truth. 

The High Priestess welcomes your intuitive pancakes. She knows that honest inward seeking can be sticky and messy sometimes, but trusting yourself is a sweetness of life not to be passed up.

A clear message keeps stirring around again and again in this reading: You know what your own truth is, and it is essential to sit with that certainty in solitude to solidify it more fully this month. 

If you crave more of what I am dishing out, sign up for an online or in-person tarot reading or an intuition coaching session with me.
