Happy October

How quickly this year has flown by. I feel like just yesterday I was celebrating the new year and yet that feels like a whole lifetime ago. This year has been a series of deaths and rebirths, a revisiting of my old selves before letting them go again. This cycle becomes more apparent in theContinue reading “Happy October”

Happy Mabon

The Fall Equinox this year lands tomorrow, 9/22. For the past week I have already been feeling the energy shifts in the air. As it is in Wisconsin the night times are beginning to grow colder and the plants around the house are beginning to whither away. Mabon is traditionally known as the time ofContinue reading “Happy Mabon”

Living with Intention

Tis the season for setting resolutions, or the more modern term: intentions. In theory I like intention setting. I even went out and bought a planner just for intentions and spiritual work. As always, buying the helping hands is the easy part. But once I sat down to write out what I wanted to focusContinue reading “Living with Intention”

Rest and Reset

My friend asked me about good restorative poses to do after her hikes. As a big lover of restorative and yin practices I was excited to help her out. I will admit I have not been hiking in a long time. Living in the city with no car I don’t get out to the wildernessContinue reading “Rest and Reset”

~Space Clearing~

I always find December a good time to clean and reset. Not only are we in a time of looking back on the past year but we are also looking ahead at the year to come. Who we are at the beginning of the year is never who we are at the end. So whyContinue reading “~Space Clearing~”

Breaking Down the Suits

The Minor Arcana is broken down into 4 suits, much like a playing card deck. These are generally called the “pip” cards and mostly relate to day to day events. When reading I look at which suits are more prominent and which are absent, that will give you the overall feel of the reading. EachContinue reading “Breaking Down the Suits”

Goal Mourning Meditation

I remember a friend reminding me a little while ago of a time when we were back in college. I think I was turning 20 and I turned to her and said “I should be married by now”. Nearly 10 years later, still no ring in sight, I am in constant struggle with my ownContinue reading “Goal Mourning Meditation”

My Yoga Journey – Start with Taking One Foot and Placing it in Front of the Other

Growing up in the midwest, even in the psychic community, we didn’t have much exposure to yoga. It wasn’t till I went to college that I was exposed to the practice. It first started with my roommate finding youtube videos of yoga sequences for us to practice in the dorm. I got my official tasteContinue reading “My Yoga Journey – Start with Taking One Foot and Placing it in Front of the Other”

I bought a deck, now what?

Congratulations! Welcome to the great world of Tarot. I promise it is a lot less spooky than the movies and some readers make it out to be. The first order of business depends on how you acquired this deck. If it is brand new from the store it shouldn’t have too much energy attached toContinue reading “I bought a deck, now what?”

What is Tarot anyways?

No one knows where exactly the Tarot deck came but many people trace it back to card games in the 1600s. To say what came first, the card game or the divination, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. We take these past 10-15 years for granted with the age of the internet and theContinue reading “What is Tarot anyways?”
