Why read Tarot when the world is falling apart? I think about this when I’m doom-scrolling, listening to the news, or pass a bumper sticker or billboard (you KNOW which ones I’m talking about…) that make me have just a little less faith in humanity. What’s the point?...

I personally am not fond of the phrase “Working With” a deity, but today I’m using it to answer a common question: Can someone “work with” different deities, especially deities from different mythologies and cultures? My answer: Under what context? If someone: Belongs...

How’s your Shadow treating you in these times? In my Cauldron Calling community, we explored how this recent Pluto Retrograde is drawing many of us to explore our own Shadow work. Pluto, the planet of sex, death, and rebirth, is moving backward and for many of us,...

Quick note! I only have a few spaces left in my Intermediate Tarot class. See more information and link to registration, here.  “Why is (She) calling me?” so many people are asking. “She” often means Hekate, The Morrigan, Lilith, Kali…the Goddesses that tend to scare...
