This meditation came out of an advanced Tarot class I ran last year. We explored the relationship of different cards to each other based largely on the Tree of Life. This meditation focused on the four paths that cross the abyss – the boundary between the unmanifest spiritual plane and manifest plane. If you think […]
This meditation came out of an advanced Tarot class I ran last year. We explored the relationship of different cards to each other based largely on the Tree of Life. This meditation focused on the three paths that originate in Kether – the first emanation from the primal unity. If you think of this as […]
More often than not clients have internal obstacles that are stronger, or perhaps even responsible, for their external challenges. They come to a reading asking for help dealing with their boyfriend, their boss, their luck, or whatever. Though the discussion certainly covers what is going on in the world, the reading – in the end […]

So this list is designed for two uses: 1. It will help folks who are just starting to read tarot in solidifying their understanding of the cards and 2. It will give them a tool to use when the meaning of the card slips out of mind. Even with 23 years of reading under my […]
On Friday the 28th of August, I was on the radio show Synchronicity. I had a blast doing this interview and am really excited to do more in the future. Marie, the host, is a great person. We talked about how to learn Tarot and how to use the cards to build the life you […]
We all probably know people who have done everything. They are master this, exalted that and currently learning the 20 latest techniques. That is all well and good, heck, if you look at my resume it probably reads like that too. The challenge with doing 1,000,000 things is not in any one thing, but in […]
Recently, I have had a number of clients asking me to help them solve the question “How do I know when I have to stop being a dilettante and commit to a spiritual road?” Or perhaps more to the point, “When does narrowing the field of my focus become an asset in my search for […]
I do a lot of divination for myself and for others. One of the most awkward questions for me to answer has always been, “when will this particular thing happen?” Some cards have obvious associations with timelines but others do not. How long a time is suggested by the knight of cups? What point in […]
I have been working on some new artwork to go with my new business cards and for out front of the shop. I thought I’d give folks a sneak peak. Let me know what you think. I wanted to capture the essence of what I do for people.
I thought I’d inject a bit of humour into my blog. It is easy to be too serious about what I do and let the great comic moments pass by. 1. You know drinking that (cologne, mercury, other toxic crap) might be why you are seeing spirits. 2. Nope that was not my spirit visiting […]
If you have not read the last post “Change is the only constant?” you might want to do so before reading this post. I’d like to carry on last post’s discussion on the Wheel of Fortune and the Sphinx to talk about the other characters in the card. If you look around the wheel you […]
Bah… don’t believe it, movement is the only constant. We have all heard it before ‘change is the only constant’- it’s a favourite line to pull out at hard times. I have been dealing with plenty of change, as most people are today, yet it seems that it is also true that the more things […]
When I started reading cards professionally for people it never occurred to me that I might do a reading without endeavoring to predict the future. I just assumed that this is what most clients wanted and that is what I had to give them. Over time it became clear to me that the flashy side […]
Upcoming goodness! Save on all our used/rare books this weekend. Automatically applied in store or online here.
Truth & Honesty – Part III – Is my truth ‘Truth’?
Is my truth ‘Truth’?
Now you might be thinking to yourself “but there are times to be honest with people regardless of whether it is comfortable or not”. That compassion and friendship might demand we tell an uncomfortable Truth to someone. Of course there are.
Here it is, the long awaited new site to go with my new space. I will be posting here on a regular basis, in sync with the moon, to share ideas, stories, meditations and news about my work and space. You can also stay up to date with the latest updates subscribe to our newsletter. […]
