Navigate to your best life
A fellow Tarot reader and I were recently hired for a 10-year-old’s birthday party for a girl who loves witches. My colleague read cards while I taught an age-appropriate lesson about how to be a good witch.
I asked the group of fresh faces, “So, what do you think about witches?”
Each girl repeated a similar sentiment:
“Well, I used to think they were scary and bad but then I learned that a lot of witches are good.”
I asked them, “What do you think witchcraft is about?”
One of the first answers floored me . . .
One of my favorite people and deck creator of the Disassembled Tarot, Jennifer Steidley, invited me to have a chat with her on an instagram live this week about the Triple Goddess symbol.
Here are some highlights to consider the next time you see this symbol on a shirt, a tattoo, jewelry, or hanging from the wall of a New Age shop.
The triple goddess symbol represents the three phases of life through the feminine divine. Maiden is the waxing moon, Mother is the full moon, and Crone is the waning moon.
I prefer to call this Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, because alliteration is pretty and I don’t know many women who want to be called a crone these days.
Learning the Tarot can be daunting.
78 cards with layered meanings. Reversals for each of those. Archetypes. Then the cards intermingling in a spread to create a meaningful story. Where to begin?
As a teacher by trade, I have decoded the cards so you can smoothly tap into this life skill. In my upcoming 9-hour Art of Tarot Reading Course, we will go over all of these areas and many more. It’s a fun exploration into your own inner wisdom with solid tools to enhance your approach.
It was not my plan to become a professional tarot reader. “Fortune teller” is not a title that leads to accolades of respect from the community. Yet, when I am reading, society’s judgments slip aside as I center myself in the magic of this strange art form.
Consider the power of the stick. It has a whole suit in the tarot. How did sticks become magic wands and what makes them so special?
