Book Release for Tarot Life Lessons!

Hi! I know I’ve neglected you over here. Part of the reason is that I have had some website problems, and the other is that I have been very busy working with my publisher Destiny Books/Inner Traditions on the release of my forthcoming book, Tarot Life Lessons: Living Wisdom from the Major Arcana. This is […]

New Book Coming! Tarot Life Lessons

Hi Everyone, Sorry I’ve been so bad about blogging. I’ve been finishing up two books for Inner Traditions publishers, and then I went right into my busy Octoberfest/Halloween season. I should have a little break between now and the Christmas party rush and will hopefully catch up a little. In the meantime, I’m sharing the […]

New Moon in Aquarius (and why do we care?)

We have a New Moon in Aquarius! I’m not an expert astrologer by any stretch, but astrology does inform the tarot cards, as planetary symbols and zodiac signs are woven into mythology, numerology, alchemy, and history, all of which are incorporated in pictures on the cards of the tarot. In a nutshell: The tarot is […]

The End of Another One

Whew. When I look back on my Facebook Memories, I see all these complaints about how bad 2018 was, and then 2019, and then 2020 goes without saying. Now, I’m not one to want to perpetuate negative energy, and so even though the weather is gray and chilly, and I’ve gained a few pounds over […]

Where We’re Going

Seven years ago, Tom and I were in London and Cambridge, England, following the literal footsteps of Sylvia Plath. How I miss traveling! When I saw that “four” for how long Covid-19 would last (see a few posts back), I had hoped it was four weeks and then began to believe it was four months. […]

2019 and The Tower Card

Ending the year always leaves me with mixed feelings. In our house, we didn’t have much of a Christmas this year because Tom was in the hospital, having his knee operation (see a couple posts earlier). I thought about what I might want to say here in the blog, recapping the highlights of 2019 and […]

Happy Halloween!

And Then What Happened?

It is a blustery, rainy spring night, but thank God for spring and that we have seemingly passed our frigid days now with the turn of the clock to Daylight Savings Time. I’m feeling better and able to take walks outside again, which relieves the monotony of mall-walking, which is, at least movement. I must […]

The Major Arcana and Me, Part One

I updated my pen pal, Zulf, of my happenings over this week in line with the Major Arcana, and I thought I would share it with you too: The tarot season continues to consume me. RIght now, everything is tarot, and so is this blog post. We will begin with the Fool card, which belongs […]
