Decluttering and Creating Sacred Space
From the upcoming book, Searching for Serenity: the Spiritual Way to Declutter your Life and Create Sacred Space I’m intrigued by a Tarot card known as the “Two of Swords.” In most decks, the card features a person holding a sword in each hand, often in a defensive position. The visual often reflects two equal…

Long-Distance Relationships, Says the Tarot, and Why That’s Just Fine
I have a lot of friends who read Tarot cards–and every last one of them is pretty good at it! Invariably, when we get together, we somehow end up “throwing cards” for each other. Whether we do this separately or in groups, it always turns into a brainstorming session where there are new insights to…

April 2009’s Full Moon: Meditations and Rituals for the Pink Moon
The April Full Moon, aka the Pink Moon, occurs in Libra on April 9, 2009 at 9:55 AM Central time here in the Florida Panhandle. This Full Moon, I feel, is all about…moving into new territory with relationships and how we want things to look. More on that in a moment. Libra, an air sign,…

Why You Can’t Read your Future for Yourself (and Sometimes for Others)
When I first began meeting “intuitives,” I heard several of them say that they could not read their own futures. I thought it was odd at the time, given that some of them had told me amazing things about my own life–right down to names, ages, locations, specific projects I was working on that I’d…

Spiritual Tools and Forging Your Own Meaning
Not everyone keeps a Book of Shadows in the “traditional” way. You know, the hardback tome of paper, perhaps even wrapped in some kind of animal hide or decorated with all sorts of magickal symbols. In my guest room, affectionately known as “Brian’s Room” because of his extended summer stays, I have a huge library…

Last Straws
From the Bookshelf Rite of Letting Go — a Southern witch must reclaim her magic and protect her family before she loses everything. Available direct from the author → “You have an interesting life path,” a clairvoyant friend told me 3 weeks ago. Her eyes widened and then she chuckled as she said it. She…

Spiritual Paths and Rocky First Steps
I’ve been trying to explain the Wiccan degree system of formalized training to a new student who is excited about taking this important step on her spiritual path in late December. I think it would be prudent of me to make sure I space out the rest of the Initiations so that everyone isn’t going…

The Justice Card in Tarot: That Integrity Thing
I found this photo online, taken at the Florida Pagan Gathering last year between Ocala and Daytona. These are certainly some of my favorite people in the world, many of whom I’d known online for years before meeting in the flesh. In the pic…. In front, on his knees (and well he should be, as…

Changing the Cards You’re Dealt
It’s not that I am trying to change the cards that have already been dealt. Instead, my plan is to change the cards that I WILL be dealt. Every now and then, a friend and I “lay cards” and by that, I mean that we toss a few Tarot cards and talk about their meaning,…

Giveaway Time! Let’s Celebrate Taurus
As the Sun moves into Taurus on 20 April, it’s time to celebrate with a giveaway. Why? Well, because CELEBRATE EVERYTHING is my personal theme for this year and if you look, it’s not hard to find good things in life. The prize is a pretty orange and blue Balance-and-Expression necklace by a local artist,…

The Spiritual Importance of Relationships
I adore M, my counselor, who’s also a gifted psychic. I don’t talk to him often, partly because it takes weeks and even months to absorb all the things he makes me think about, and this session is no exception. He uses multiple decks of Tarot cards, his own clairvoyance, and his training as a…

Tarot: Card for Love and Innocence
Twice in the past month, I’ve drawn the Two of Cups. It’s one of the most beautiful cards in my Arthurian Tarot deck. A man and woman stand together aboard a dragon-faced ship, locked in a deep embrace, her head against his chest, his hand curling around her head. They are in love, and-I think-so…
