This week I wrote a post that had been wanting to be birthed for 15 months and I choose not to share it. It turned into pages and pages and could have easily gone on my blog. It felt powerful to write it, I gained so much clarity and strength for myself around an issue that had been taking up…

Rebel Empath
I like to live on the edges. There is freedom there. And what that means is I’m not constrained by the ways things have been done or the ways people think they ought to be. Even in choosing to do out of the box things with my life, I do them in rebel ways. I get along really well with…
Tarot is a Bridge
In 2012 I was finishing my Ph.D. and I found myself building a bridge across a cliff – that was what starting a business instead of becoming an academic felt like. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined where this path would lead me and how much joy, enchantment and wonder I would experience along the way. Tarot cards…
Tarot as a Portal to Higher Consciousness
The need to find rational answers to magical questions is pretty human I think – we are taught to value mainly what is measurable to us in our human experience and for many people it takes time, courage and some effort to reclaim a sense of enchantment and a belief in magic for themselves.

With each turning I discover something new about myself…that turns out to be something very old. In this post I share how you can embrace the energy of the Hanged Man…
Sticking My Tongue Out at My Inner Critic
Earlier this week I wrote to you about believing in fairies and how my inner wise self asked me to. Well, my inner young one has never been happier but my inner critic has had a few things to say to me. Then I drew a card. It’s a gorgeous card from the Ostara Tarot. I only have the app because…
Interview with Joanna Powell Colbert
It’s been an exciting day over here! I interviewed Joanna Powell Colbert about the Gaian Tarot! Holy Moly! I think my goofy screenshot says it all! It was such a great pleasure and honour to speak with Joanna. Her beautiful spirit shines through all of her work. In this interview Joanna and I chat about the new Schiffer edition of the…
Temperance
there is nothing special here. just an ordinary day the crunch and clink of a cat eating his food, incessant checking and re-checking of Facebook, catching my breath from a day of moving. will I ever breathe the same way again? I brew tea with herbs that are meant to put me to sleep, after bathing with lavender and the chaos…
