Free Tarot Reading for 2026

Since it’s the start of the year, our reading today offers more cards than usual, so I will keep this portion brief. 

Heads up that I am going to be unavailable for readings for the first 3 weeks of February!

That makes January an especially great time to get some guidance. Sign up today for a personal tarot reading, anintuition coaching, a tarot reading lesson, or share the gift with someone you love in a Tarot Together session.

AI Ad vs. Reality: What’s in the Box?

For your entertainment, I have made an unboxing video of the thing I warned you not to buy. 

Three months ago, I shared about this item that I knew was advertised with AI images and suspected was fake.

When I found it for cheap, curiosity got the best of me. I had to know, ‘What’s in the booooox??”

Gift a Life Well Lived

During the pandemic, I took the unexpected free time to purge my closets of stuff. It took many days. 

When I returned to shopping in thrift stores, which I love to do, I realized that each item, however affordable, had an added cost of time. 

I would need to find a place for this thing in my home and then tend to dusting it, or replacing it’s batteries, or fixing it if it broke or getting rid it when I was done with it’s use. 

I bought less… for a spell. I admit I still love stuff and definitely bought physical presents for people this year. But there’s something magical about gifts of experiences.

Holiday Conflict Resolution

Ram Dass says, “If you think you are enlightened, go spend a week with your family.”

The holidays are coming up, and I know for many of us it’s a good time to consider how we hold ourselves through interpersonal strife. 

I took a lovely class with small business advisor Jaime Pulliam on conflict resolution this week, and I want to share some of the insights with you.

Free Tarot Reading for Dec 2025

Welcome to December! 2025 is soon to be complete. 

As always at the start of the month, I offer a free Tarot reading to help you set your compass for the month. 

This month is about being bold in your decisions, a theme I often recite in these newsletters.

If you find value in the questions and directions of these Friday gifts, I hope you will share them with a friend who might enjoy them as well.

Your Story has Influence

As a tarot reader, I have witnessed the magic of people unraveling their own stories to rewrite them. 

This is a powerful medicinal practice, and often is a long journey that requires patience and humility and persistence. 

This week, let’s gently take a first step. Our awareness of this aspect of life will help us find more peace as our family stories collide in the US over the Thanksgiving holiday next week.

The vast majority of humans both function and dysfunction from a place of story.

Free Tarot Reading for Samhain / Halloween

Samhain (pronounced Sau-wen) is a high holiday that honors our ancestors. 

My costume troupe will share a silent dinner on Sunday. We will bring photos of our dead beloveds and make an altar. 

Once seated with food, we will send a plate around the table where each person will add to the meal for our ancestors. . .

Everything is Witchcraft

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 . . .

Spooky Season Tarot Reading

Do you have any friends in life who knew you as a youthful person (6 of Cups), but you’ve lost touch with?

This month, at a time when we honor those who have passed away, we get a a reminder to honor the living who have fallen out of our field of connection.

How to Spot AI

This week, I saw the cutest little set of tarot statues advertised to me on Facebook. The algorithm knows me so well. 

I clicked on the shop, and something didn’t feel right. I did a google search on whether the business was legit, and it had a very low trust rating. I am not sure if those little statues are even real. 

That feeling in regards to AI is called the “Uncanny Valley”. It is a form of unsettling intuition that a human image or mock up is so close to real that it’s creepy. This phrase likely will begin to be used for AI creations overall.

Today, I went and looked for the product again, and it’s on 5 more sites, but none of them have a very high trust score. Hmmmm…

My dad always says, ‘If it’s too good to be true, it likely is”.
