The Empress Gives it a Rest: Empress (R)

The Empress sat in her plush domain plotting her ambitious creation plans, and suddenly felt very, very tired. Then it hit her, I’ve spent so much time in creative mode of late, that I forgotten to consider all the lessons of my girl The High Priestess, she thought. 

The Weekend’s Powerful Combination!

There is little more attractive than the graceful confidence of someone who understands their craft, and moves fluidly through the machinations of it.  The Magician is that kind of person.  He has all the resources both internally and externally, he understands the spiritual, emotional and sometimes physical fortitude it takes to manifest what he wants.  […]

The Woman of Tarot

Last weekend as I was working with the Rider-Waite deck, I started looking at the women in tarot.  Those that are specifically named.  Not The Star, or The World, etc., but the queens of Pentacles, Swords, Wands and Cups, the High Priestess and Empress.  I pulled them all and then

For the Love of a Fool

Who doesn’t enjoy childlike wonder and infectious laughter?  Throw in a best pal and anywhere becomes a playground!  Most people look at someone who feels that way or behaves that way as a Fool, yet,

2 of Cups: Relationships with Ourselves

Most of the time when the 2 of Cups shows up, we think about love relationships and partnerships with other people.  But, yesterday when I drew it reversed in conjunction with the New Moon, I saw it as an indicator of

The Moon Reversed: What a Card for the Crescent Moon Phase!

When The Moon is reversed, one of the things it asks us to do is release our fears and travel the road less traveled.  It’s time to let go of the things that hold us back and limit us.  Rather than bristling at the things we don’t understand,
