We have officially moved into the dark half of the year, and the moon comes full on November 4th. The rest of the autumn and winter season will bring a heaviness that requires you to rest more. Give in to your need to rest. Go within and listen to what is happening within your heart and soul. This is a time to regroup and replenish. Let yourself have the peace and relaxation you need. This month is also a good... Read more
The Taurus full moon is upon us, and as is customary I have pulled cards to deliver to you a full moon message. This month I am using the Paulina Tarot by Paulina Cassidy. The cards I pulled for this occasion are The Hierophant, King of Pentacles, and The Chariot. The Hierophant implores you to seek wisdom and knowledge, and also to share the wisdom and knowledge that you have gained over the years. We are each of us both... Read more
Lenormand is a fabulous oracle system to use when trying to find lost objects. With Lenormand, the more precise the question, the clearer the answer. This is paramount. Below is an example of how I used Lenormand to find something. Last week I lost two bracelets that were very dear to my heart- one I bought in Hawaii and one I received as a gift from my long-time penpal when we were kids. After reading for clients I was home...

My work consists of coming face to face with what hides in the shadows of the human heart and soul. With Owl Spirit and Hekate as my guide I enter into the sacred darkness from which power and life flow, just as the roots of a tree live and are nourished in the dark soil of the earth, and there I read the omens and symbols that provide revelation for you take with you into the light of the day....

For this month’s new moon tarot reading, I’m using The Halloween Tarot by Karin Lee. The October new moon occurs tomorrow at 2:13PM in Libra as we come face to face with ourselves in its shadow. The light is just beginning to dawn again on what we keep hidden underneath, encouraging us to grow something good out of it all. Right off the bat we have a Libra lesson about balancing the scales in the 6 of Pumpkins (Pentacles). In... Read more
Historically one of the most feared cards in the tarot deck, many would say Death is simply misunderstood. Death in a tarot reading rarely means a literal death, usually it’s some sort of transformation and moving on. This is true, but I think it’s worth taking a deeper look than that. It’s easy to see this card and immediately gloss over the pain associated with it. We experience many deaths in our lives. Our bodies continuously die and renew on... Read more
The full moon on Thursday, October 5th is in the sign of Aries. We are also in the month of Libra. Aries is a go-getter and Libra is a planner, so this is a good time to flesh out your goals, especially your short term goals. The Singer of Transfiguration assures you that success is reachable, and in fact either has been reached or will soon be reached. You may experience big changes with this full moon energy. Unity reminds... Read more
I absolutely adore the High Priestess card, especially as she is depicted in the Joie de Vivre Tarot by Paulina Cassidy. The High Priestess is mystery. She is the gatekeeper to hidden truths. She is the ultimate oracle, speaking in riddles. She is the great sphinx. Her mystery is alluring. She contains universal knowledge and understanding, which she keeps hidden in layers of symbolism. She is the veiled woman, she is the representation of seeing in a mirror darkly. She is the... Read more
This new moon carries with it some heavy notes from the harvest season. We are encouraged to celebrate the bounty of the harvest: enjoying food and drink, enjoying satisfying relationships, enjoying the fruits of our labors whether physical, mental, spiritual or emotional. There is another side to this, though, and that’s the reality of an ending. Everything that grows also dies. Nothing stays the same. When the harvest season comes, summer is ending. The autumn equinox is this Friday, and... Read more
Recently a client asked me what it means to be a witch, and like most questions pertaining to my life and work I didn’t have a perfunctory answer. It’s important to understand that this question will have a different answer depending on which witch you ask, so all I can do is answer for myself as I’ve endeavored to do with this post. Being a witch is being in tune with the magic within and around me. It is a... Read more
