Present Path Tarot
Navigate to your best life
Solstice Rituals
We in the Northern hemisphere are tilted toward the sun and have thus returned to the longest day of the year!
This weekend, consider making some time for a ritual to celebrate in the ways our ancestors of various lineages have for many centuries. This has always been a world-wide celebrated event, so it might be fun to look up your own historical practices of your own ancient relations.
Greet the Dawn: take a moment in the morning when you wake up to acknowledge the sun with gratitude for the life it supports
Build a Bonfire: make a (safe) fire or light a candle and celebrate the nature of the Sun’s warmth. You can write an intention of something you are ready to release as we step into the new season and burn it, or perhaps sing a song to the fire.
Gather Herbs: if you have a garden or know a good spot in nature with wild herbs, collect some and cook a meal with them, or dry them for a summer tea.
Feast with Friends: create a potluck with community and share in your wishes for the summer ahead
Wash your Doors: Use a mix of vinegar and water or another natural solution and wash off your doors. You can also use olive oil and draw a protection sigil afterward.
Bring a little extra magic into your summer manifestations when you get a personal tarot reading for insight or an intuition coaching for your own self-trust development.
Celebrate with you closest community when you sign up for a Tarot Together reading.
Throwing a party this summer? The tarot and palm readers with Portlandia Fortune Tellers are a fabulous addition to any celebration or ritual. Fill out our no-commitment booking form to learn more about bringing magic to your event.
Make this month more merry with a visit to the Oregon Renaissance Faire and get a reading from our booth!
Have a lovely weekend with appreciation for the seasonal shifts.
Blessed Be Your Summer,

The Gentle Way Through Overwhelm
Last Friday, I woke up far too early with anxiety.
I had a full day of readings ahead and a major home project in progress. The news cycle also created a lot of strong feelings and was hard to look away from.
My brain whirled at how I would manage to keep my focus on the readings which require deep presence, while also finding space for the house project.
The heat wave was coming, and the yard was currently in disarray. If I didn’t do it that day, it meant postponing another 4 days til temperatures cooled.
My cortisol levels already spiking, I knew I wasn’t going to get more than the 4 hours of sleep I had manged.
I often overbook myself, take on too much, and resist pulling out of any commitments when I realize I am past my limits.
My German mom and workaholic dad taught me to just push on through the overwhelm. I am grateful for the fortitude they instilled in me, but I am trying to learn a new way.
I want to make different choices when I get this drained and fried out.
So I got up, and put away the tools and work gear. I tidied up the mess from the partially done big task. I accepted that it would reside in limbo.
This felt like a big shift for me. I didn’t push through. I backtracked. I paused. I prioritized my focus on one zone to manage, instead of spreading myself too thin.
I had a fantastic day of readings for it. I drank a green tea that helped with the sleep deprivation and I was able to engage fully with each client.
We laughed, cried, and we found answers for their journeys. I love my job and feel honored to share these moments with people. Every cell in my body was grateful that I chose my focus more fully that day.
With the state of the world adding to our stress, some days the scattered chaos and emotional overwhelm pushes it’s way in. I can’t take on as much as I would like to when that happens.
Some days we have to accept our limits and prioritize the need to decompress.
Here are some ways that I am learning to make different choices that I hope might help you.
Taskmaster:
– Organize my life on a prioritized to-do list (I like the app todoist)
– Consider that things will take longer than I expect to complete
– Acknowledge what I do get done, pause to rest briefly between tasks
– Allow actual space in my schedule when I can
– Hire someone to help with time consuming tasks that I can afford support on
Reassess:
– Be compassionate with myself about the emotional challenges I am
facing that day, and accept I am not going to get as much done
– Tell friends when our plans are tentatively penciled in due to being booked on a busy week
– Cancel or reschedule lower priorities when I see I am pushing my limits (I almost never do this for readings unless I am sick, as they are my livelihood and I enjoy my work immensely)
– Pause from immediacy: when new tasks show up, put them on the to do list instead of presuming they need done now
Self-regulation:
– Catch the moments that I am stressed, and see if I can make time for a brief meditation, a walk, some yoga, or a nap
– Make sure to drink water and eat protein all day
– Notice what is trying to distract me, and consider tuning it out for a period of time, using the Focus Me app to limit my spontaneous access to news and scrolling
– Reach out to friends for emotional support as needed
I hope you might consider arranging a self-care session with me to help you better align with your own focus.
You can get a personal tarot reading for insight or an intuition coaching to rehearse how you can shift your own energy toward healthier decision making habits.
Bring in a friend who needs to reassess their path with a Tarot Together reading.
In the Portland area? Maybe get away this month with a weekend visit to the Oregon Renaissance Faire and get a reading from our booth!
The tarot and palm readers with Portlandia Fortune Tellers know how to keep things both profound and light. Bring one of our team in for an event to create a deeper community connection.
Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you can priortize delicious downtime.

Scroll on for a free tarot reading for the month of June!
This reading uses one of my oldest decks, the World Spirit Tarot by Lauren ‘Onca’ O’Leary.
The Sun shines bright on our month ahead with new opportunities. Focus on the positive and reach for potential shifts forward in promotions and new directions toward growth.
This is emphasized by the 3 of Pentacles character showing off her new project. Apply yourself to move forward in a practical direction with work and home.
This card can also inspire a gathering of cooperative team members who bring their own resources to a project that is ready to flourish.
So . . . we’re moving right along like the Muppets on a road trip and then -BLAMO- the 4 of Swords shuts down the charging forth with a loud call for rest and down time.
This combination is reminding us to pare down where we can to make room for slowing down alongside the new movement forward.
Where can you make cuts to your busy lifestyle to make time for restorative grounding while also sending energy into a new effort?
If you take on more, something else will need to be set aside, and centering in relaxation will require more scheduling.
If you don’t disconnect and decompress, you’ll end up making the hasty decisions of the reversed Knight of Swords. He casts off others wisdom to emphasize brash speed over sensible consideration.
Balance this month between vibrant go-getter up swings and full decompression down tempos. It’s a strange dance, but remember to value both the big efforts and the deep rest.
Use some of that chill time wisely when you sign up for a personal tarot reading with me help you assess how to make the most of the blessings this month has to offer.

Prepare for the Unexpected with Confidence
I have a confession . . .
I am an over-packer. (The image above is not my car . . . read to the bottom to see my packing job.)
I am going camping at a festival this weekend, and I am just grateful that it’s one where I am not alone in this baroque preparing.
It’s also a blessing that my travel companion is more of a minimalist so we can get it all in the car.
This is definitely an element of control for me. I want to have all my comforts and joys along for the ride. I am not carrying the items far, and I have my wagon for ease of delivery.
I was a girl scout, and I love having my little pouches with all the tiny items that rescue me from crisis. It quells my anxiety in the meantime.
I also see how too much stuff becomes a burden.
It’s a balance act.
So how prepared in life is the right amount for you, and how much is too much?
Here are some tenets of preparedness to consider for yourself.
Focus on Principles, not Scenarios
– Know how to adapt
– Plan for basic needs, communication, and safety
– Assess the situation before acting
A lot of people come in for readings for a sense of control over the unexpected.
Some readers may tell them the future with certainty. I believe it’s better to give them a sense of how they will manage the possibilities with their own empowered skills.
Build Flexible Systems
If we can do some If-Then thinking, it can help lower our anxiety around the uncertainty.
If this happens, then I will . . .
Consider the outcomes so that in the moment you can emotionally analyze your best choice and layer it with what you already decided was the logical answer.
A tarot reading is a great way to consider your if’s with the cards guiding you through your likely results with various responses.
Reassess and Simplify
Now that I have over-packed for camping, I can go through the items and pare down the excess.
Where are you worried about unlikely scenarios?
How can you unload the concerns that you have already prepared for?
A tarot reading can help you recognize where the overkill begins, and give you a sense of ease that you have planned enough.
Letting spirit guides be a part of your preparations is like asking your friends for their perspective, but the friends who have a wider expanse of vision.
Another great way to gain a unique perspective is to understand astrological influences. An opportunity to learn some foundations in that is coming up in a few weeks with our final class in this series.

The Horror of Horoscopes
I sometimes talk about astrology on this newsletter, even though it is not my expertise. I share the information because I see how it has great value.
My goal is for people to use the upcoming alignments to shape our paths in a positive direction, instead of getting stuck in fear cycles around transits that so many hobbyists slip into.
I understand why some people dislike astrology. It has a power that is sometimes misapplied.
Some people use it to attack others, ‘Oh I don’t date Leos anymore.’
Or, ‘You’re a Scorpio? Ugh, that must be hard.’
These are dismissive presumptions that we already know someone, without doing the work to learn who they are more fully.
The more you comprehend about actual charts, the more the Sun sign becomes a small detail in a big picture.
Some friends will lean into how bad things are going to be due to a square coming up. This habit reflects more on their own desire to lean into negative presumptions of the future.
People can also deflect accountability by blaming retrogrades instead of owning their actions. Granted, sometimes life does get very discombobulated and makes it hard to be successful. But the fault is not in our stars, even if they are jacking things around.
We can gain immense value from learning more about how charts work. The more we know, the less we let the negative around astrology wash out the good.
Be aware not to make scary presumptions about what the messages mean.
I thought the recent Venus Retrograde would impact my current romantic relationship. It didn’t.
Instead, I had a challenge with my oldest friend that brought me an incredible awakening about my own fears in all relationships that I had never before considered. This self-awareness is invaluable, and is helping me move out of a shadow that will likely make my habits around all my connections improve.
The more I learn about astrology from experts, the more I see the information it offers as a compass to where I need to place my focus.
I once was scared of Mercury Retrograde, until an astrologer illuminated how it’s a great time to slow down with my hyper-productivity. Choose to say no to new ideas for a spell. And yeah sure, prepare all plans with the potential for unexpected shifts.
I now focus more on finishing things that need completed, and cleaning out my closets. It’s a time to reflect on how I am ready to grow, and gives me a whole 3 weeks to get myself aligned toward that.
In a few weeks, I am excited to dive into astrology with a true expert. It’s a fun and informative opportunity to join.

Today, let’s talk about all things Maternal with the Empress Card.
When I was traveling in my late 20’s, a wise woman helped me understand that my feminine self was shadowed by my masculine.
I grew up in a neighborhood full of boys, and I loved being included as one of them. We rode bikes and did trick endo’s by shoving our foot in the front tire.
I came home from ballgames, WWF mockups, skateboarding, and kick the bucket covered in bruises, concrete scrapes, and knowing all the worst insults an elementary kid could dare.
When I started the Thundercats club in a neighbor’s side yard, I insisted that I be Lion-O, and was verbally battled with to accept being Cheetara. She wasn’t the leader though, and I was the one who started the club. Me.
I already saw the feminine as marginalized and lesser, and so I valued my masculine traits more.
Now a young adult woman, I felt inspired to ponder on what it even means to be feminine. This in turn informed my concept of the Empress card in my tarot deck.
First, consider what words come to mind when you think about the essence of feminine energy.
The Empress is inherently about creative power. The female body contains the ultimate resource of creating life. Thus our queen sits in the center of a meadow of wheat and trees with a flowery dress and a spring of water flowing to her feet.
Motherhood in it’s healthiest story is about nurturing life into full bloom. It’s often a story of sacrifice and protection. A mom in the ideal is both strong and compassionate.
What nature do you assign to the ideal maternal?
How did your own mom form this idea, or counter it?
Let’s then consider the Empress card Reversed. What are the shadows of the mother spirit? (You can’t write “Smother” without it.)
What about those of us who choose not to bear children? Where do they hold maternal energy?
I didn’t have kids, but I have managed a home with multiple rooms for 15 years, and it has been a journey into learning how I ‘mom’ my housemates. Sometimes I am restrictive and assert my power to insist that chores are done. Other times I am flexible and forgiving, setting the rules aside as I witness them struggle through a challenge. There’s balance and nuance in my own feminine spirit, it seems.
Working in a female-centric field has taught me a lot about this flavor of being as well. I find that tarot readers are incredibly collaborative and community-focused. People in this traditionally feminine line of work are empathic and curious and service-oriented.
Men can also be more classically feminine. My ex-boyfriend would cry at movies more than me. I love that he allowed himself to express emotions freely, and it actually gave me room to hold him in a maternal way at times.
It’s not like I had to balance his feminine by being more masculine. We both brought our own masculine and feminine at times that suited us. We still do now as friends. We can all hold masculine and feminine energies simultaneously.
Watching beloved transwomen in my life blossom into their own feminine has informed me so much on how this essence expresses herself.
Each of these sisters softened into their open-hearts and became enamored of beauty and more in awe of the glory of nature during their journeys. It has been an honor and a joy to witness.
Who in your life displays the feminine in a way that moves your heart or shifts your beliefs about what this archetype entails?
I could obviously talk endlessly about this. Let’s wrap it up and send love to all the Mom’s in your life who show up with the archetype that serves your heart the best.
I want to thank my mom for being her authentic self and showing me the Empress Card in her own ways. From sweet back scratches with German songs before bed, to cajoling me into icy glacial lake swims, she brings a unique mix of nurturing and empowerment. She may not admit to it, but she’s a true feminist.
Most of all, I want to thank my Mom and Dad for letting me be one of the boys as a kid. It made me into being a better woman.

Free Reading for May
This reading uses one of my favorite decks, the World of Hilda by Reese Marren, curated from the pin-up art of Duane Bryers.
We start with the challenges of the 3 of Pentacles reversed. Some project you’ve been poking at is struggling and needs a savvy plan or a solid team behind it to flourish.
The 2 of Wands asks you to realign with your desire to complete it. Where can you find new motivation to charge forth into task mastering this? Do you need to bring in an accountability buddy or a stronger support team to see this through?
7 of Pentacles reminds us that in order to accomplish this task, it is going to require patience and persistence. It might look like a small project, but it will benefit from some room for growth. Allow it to become what it wants to blossom into, which might take more time than you thought.
You are a part of a vision of creating something you care about. 8 of Pentacles is an apprentice who relishes their own learning as they develop an advanced skill set. Stay dedicated to the process and enjoy watching yourself evolve with it.
With fortitude, this is the month you can make something meaningful happen in one of your goals.
I certainly know what project this is about for me. I would love to hear from you with a message about what project you intend to make these efforts toward this month.
Sign up for a personal tarot reading with me help you assess how to find your path with this goal this month!
The Choice to Stay Connected
I do my best to keep this blog as neutral and lighthearted as possible. Today I feel called to share a personal challenge that I think a lot of you can relate to.
The next edition will return to the usual programming of a free reading for Beltane, so I hope you’ll stay on board.
This week, I joined my parents and their friends in a celebration of my parents 50th anniversary.
With the current political climate and our differences, I was anxious about interfacing with their community. I know many of you can relate, regardless of which side you are on.
My concern was reasonable, as one of the most conservative women and I got into a loud debate on the first day.
A more mellow man inquired about my views with curiosity and a less aggressive style. The difference of approach was palpable and helped me feel heard.
These are intense times for divergent political opinions.
Many of my friends and family have disconnected from people on the other side from them. It’s not easy, and I believe each of us needs to make our own best choice.
I’ve had to take breaks from one of my oldest friends when I couldn’t hold boundaries around expressing my frustrations as the anger was too much.
Despite the challenges, I am currently choosing to stay in connection. I know that I will falter by ranting on occasion, and I will have times that I need to take space.
I pulled cards on this matter, and the reading struck a chord for me.
The Hanged Man card of acceptance of things we cannot change and sacrificing for our spiritual self.
The World card, a reminder that we are connected to all of humanity and our actions interrelate with others.
Finally, the Four of Wands in the future placement, a message of uniting energies together for constructive efforts and perhaps even a celebration.
My Hope is that keeping connections as peacefully alive as I can now will create more potential union in the future.
In the meantime, it helps remind me that we are all still humans with more in common than we are told. This aspect keeps my nervous system fears a bit more regulated.
Some in power want us to presume we are enemies. My rebellion is to not give them my faith in that story.
If you need a distraction from the news, my 9-hour online class in the Art of Tarot Reading will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7:30pm PST starting on next week on April 29th through May 15th. Last chance to sign up!

Choose Your Energetic Focus
In this information overload era, the world is pulling us into constant distractions in a way that can feel scattered.
Today, let’s take a moment to consider what it means to realign with focus in order to choose where we send our energy.
Allowing the chaos of the world to dissolve away and have a singular attention, even for only a few hours, can help us feel more centered in other areas of life. It helps rewrite the neural pathways in our mind to remain more centered in our daily lives.
Consider when you are the most able to remain totally present with the task in front of you. What does it feel like?
Mental-physical combo practices like Yoga and Qi Gong offer a conscious awareness of energy movement tethered to meditation.
When we draw our attention to arts and crafts, the mind also gets singular focus for a spell and we end up with a gratifying creation afterward.
Learning something new in a guided group course helps the mind to stay wholly curious about one subject.
Tuning into stories in a movie or book can bring our focus into another world completely, but that’s a passive experience and can be more escapist.
One reason I love reading tarot is that it gives me the same sense of being lost in a story, but with an active participation in the art of helping assist someone to direct their own story in the best possible path.
You can combine craft, story, learning, and energy work when we focus together for three weeks on the Art of Reading Tarot Course.
My 9-hour online class in the Art of Tarot Reading will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7:30pm PST starting on April 29th through May 15th. This will likely not be running again for a long time, so now is the time.
See what previous students have to say about learning Tarot with Jenna:
“She made the cards easy to understand, in a way that I am also finding easy to remember. I have had a deck for a couple of years but felt overwhelmed and a bit intimidated by my lack of knowledge. Now I feel quite comfortable jumping in and playing around with them. She is a fun and engaging teacher, as well. I would definitely recommend taking a class from her!”
– Deborah Duvall
“I enrolled in the Art of Tarot 6-course class, Oct 2022. 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. My thanks to Present Path Tarot!”
-Sally Mclaughlin
In the months ahead, there are also still a few more upcoming short courses both online and in-person in Portland, Oregon with the program running below with other divination experts.

Self Care is Community Care
This Sunday, psychic medium Anna Alexander will lead a lesson online and in-person on How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides.
I find experiences like this are a wonderful way to do self-care. It opens you to better hear supportive energies, and aligns you with the inherent magic that we live in everyday.
Another form of self-care magic that I have been learning for years is in owning and holding my own needs dear.
Even in this individualistic Western culture, many of us were taught to put others ahead of ourselves.
At first, this switch felt selfish to me.
Then, I witnessed my loving friends drain their vivacity in over-giving.
I saw how people came to rely on them and slowed their own self-reliance.
I saw the givers become resentful and sometimes shut off the support completely.
The tarot has a lot of cards about balance, and this is an area that often is skewed for many of us.
It’s essential that you show up for others, yes. It’s also imperative that you offer what feels sustainable so there’s energy left over for your own growth.
This week, a friend who is running a large business decided to drive to the coast in silence to get her bearings on the choices ahead. She was surprised by how it helped center her even more than she thought it would.
It can be a long journey to building healthy habits in this practice.
Start by learning to say No to requests unless you are a Superb Yes from your very being.
If this is hard, start with, “Let me get back to you”.
Then, sit with what part of the request feels like a Yes, and what feels like a No. Get back to them with your full answer.
Second, notice where you have a need that is not met.
Can you answer this need yourself?
What can be set aside in your life to make that happen?
Who can you ask for support?
Remember how it feels good to be entrusted as a support, and how you are giving others the chance to show up for you. That is a gift.
You need to be the first line of support though. When we take care of ourselves, we take care of people around us who would show up if we got too bogged down.
Once we are overwhelmed, it can be hard to remember what rejuvenates us.
Today, consider what is meaningful nourishment for you.
Make a list of the things that enrich your soul.
Include essentials like water and protein and sleep. I hope you might also recall sessions that you have had with me and add tarot reading onto your list.
My self-care list includes: music, dancing, comedy, nature walks, reiki, massage, art films, craft making, costume play with friends, quiet baths, reading spiritual books, and, of course, tarot readings with my community.
