How to Safely Deal With Toxic People
It happens, Beloved Community – toxic people are out there and occasionally we have to deal with them in our lives. The toxic person I had in my personal life (who thankfully is gone) taught me some valuable lessons the hard way. Even still, when a toxic client showed up for a tarot reading last…
Tarot Deck Review – The Shadowland Tarot
Some decks live up to our expectations better than others. I feel like I’ve had several decks fall short of my hopes recently, and have been approaching new decks with a more skeptical eye as a result. But the Shadowland Tarot happily far, far exceeded my expectations and skated right into my top 5 decks…

Edited 10/31/22 My youngest son has to learn how to meditate. Like, really meditate – sit still and quiet in a dark room for an hour and… meditate. He’s 10. He has ADHD. He can barely sit through a meal, even when on his meds. But in 3 or 4 months he will be taking…

Ritual for the Loss of An Animal Companion
It’s inevitable that, for those of us who chose to share our lives with animal companions, we will have to face losing them far before we’re ready. I wrote this ritual on request, but my own beloved familiar, Thorin, is aging, and so I also wrote this ritual in mind for my future self to…

How I Energetically Attune a New Tarot Deck
Any energetic or magical tool like a tarot deck ought to be cleansed and attuned to its owner in order to get the best results from it.

I have finally found my perfect tarot deck! (It only took 20 years…) I used the Morgan-Greer deck as my primary deck for 13 years, with the intent of eventually getting a deck that is a bit more suited to me, but had a hard time finding one that spoke to me. Last winter I…
