Give Growth to Stuck Friends

The other night reading cards for a company holiday party, nearly every client sat down while saying, “I’ve never done this before!”

Same words, but one bubbles with glee while another seems hesitant. Afterward, both usually comment on how the experience was surprisingly beneficial; they find themselves relieved from stress or more clear around a decision.

I love giving people their first reading… and you can share this with them this holiday season.

Holiday Priorities Recalibrated

In the holiday rush, it’s important to tune inward to what really matters to you.

This week, I mailed out gifts family who I have not seen in years. I found myself sad and a little triggered.

I don’t mind the effort and cost of gifts. I like showing I care this way. But I felt empty about it.

I sat with that feeling, waiting for what was behind it to emerge.

Reframe Future Thoughts

Tarot is a tool for shifting your state of being around the future.

Sometimes it quells the inner doubt with a dose of certainty.

Sometimes it twists your view into a fresh angle.

Today I want to offer some playful ways to explore realigning with new possibilities.

This is a system I have designed that has helped me shift in challenging moments where I am presuming an unpleasant future outcome.

Stay Present with a Tarot Lens

For many of us in America and even abroad, this was an emotionally intense week.

The collective effort of community to support one another made it easier for those of us who were disappointed.

One friend signed off our chat with a simple message to, “Stay in the present”. This struck a chord of wisdom that we can all benefit from.

Future speculation rarely serves us.

For today, let’s tap into a few simple ways to get re-centered in what we can control through the lens of tarot suits.

Blessed Samhain: Free Tarot Reading

Samhain is about the honoring of the ancestors, so I am using Reese Marren’s beautifully curated deck of classical paintings by dead artists, The Pensive Path Tarot.

Samhain’s dark side relates to this reading deeply as the message is about letting go of that which keeps life from flourishing.

Scariest Tarot Cards . . . DEBUNKED!

Recently, some of my reader colleagues at Portlandia Fortune Tellers and I made a reactions video of the recent horror movie Tarot (follow my new Instagram to be the first to see it!)

We knew it would present the Hanged Man with a noose and the Death card as pure mortality, which is tiresome. It also tried to creep out other archetypes like the Fool, High Priestess, and Magician, which at least felt creative.

Today I want to take a closer look at the scariest cards to get in Tarot.

Tarot as Shadow Work

People are often scared of tarot.

Oooo, the Devil card! The Death card! The Tower Card!

I respect their fear. It’s natural to be intimidated by images of suffering, and it’s also reasonable to be uncomfortable with tarot.

Tarot is a shadow work, bringing into the light that which is key to your personality . . . but perhaps you prefer not to look at.

So, what is Shadow Work?
