The Hierophant in Tarot- From Dolls to Cement Knobs, We Need Something to Believe In
"With the power invested in me, I am omnipotent... unless of course you don't believe," says The Hierophant from his throne of prayer and power. Faith for the Deviant Who is he this man praying upon the beats of the city? And what has given him the right to have so much power over them? In the realm of faith and religion, it doesn't matter who he is, where he is from or what qualifications he brings with him. He is the voice of the Almighty and unseen force because it has bee

New Moon in Cancer ~ An Emotional Star is Healing
July seems to be full of karmic energies. Eclipses, retrogrades and two New Moons are just a few Universal movements that we get to play, grow and elevate with. Because there's just so much to focus on, I've decided, for my own spiritual sanity, that I'm going to focus on and work with the New Moon in Cancer. She keeps dropping signs letting me know that while I have 'mentally' sorted out and tempered, I still have some major emotional healing that I need to do. I say some, b

The Fool - No Clarity Needed
The fabulous thing about Tarot, is there is always a starting point. You either start by drawing a card, or you start with The Fool. As I begin my Tarot intensive, I've decided to start with The Fool. I truly wish I could remember the name of the person who elevated my relationship with Tarot when he gave me the permission to connect with Tarot based on my Story, my Experience, and the energy behind the lessons taught to me by my querents as we connect the messages of Tarot t

My Bleeding Heart is at the Bottom of The Ocean
#inspiredbytarot ~ In our darkest moments, the devil is disguised by the cry for sleep. Untie the blindfold, sweet child, and let the waters of the sea awaken your soul. The Devil | 8 of Swords Every full moon, I get really excited by the opportunity to work with one of Ethony's Full moon Tarot spreads. I recently came across the Tarot Illuminati deck, and fell in love. I was able to get pick up the deck, go through each card, and was even more thrilled by the time I sifted

I do... Not Take Your Last Name
#inspiredbytarot ~ Unity, commonly known as The Hierophant ~ In this marriage I give you my all. My name, however, is mine to keep. It never occurred to me how much of a challenge it would be to keep my maiden name. The biggest surprise comes from the fact that it's my immediate family that seems to be most challenged by it! I love my family to pieces, and make it my business to know as much about them as I can. Birthdays, anniversaries... last names. Now, ask them to identif

Weigh In Wednesday ~ Ass, Bye!
Inspired by Tarot ~ To wallow in the negativity of others is to feed into a deep dark weakness where one's will is consumed. Know that when the light dances just right, Spirit will open the door to forgiveness, and there will you find the strength to journey on anew | Five of Summer, Strength, The Dreamer I feel like I've spent the better part of this year kicking around in barn full a funk and disaster.

The Hermit - My Next Tattoo
A lantern is only as bright as the light that shines within. As #inspiredbytarot | The Hermit I've been doing a lot of thinking about my next tattoo, and I've decided on two: one is a passage that I'd like to have written across my collar bone, the next is something to reflect Tarot. After a lot of back and forth and soul searching, I had narrowed it down to a few cards: The Empress, Strength and The Hermit. In the end I've decided on The Hermit, for he is truly my first inte

My Top 10 Books as Defined by Tarot
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. George R.R. Martin And a thousand places I have been, with a thousand more places will I go. If all else must be taken from me, I ask but one thing, a place to read. If there is a heaven, or even a hell, may it be filled with rows upon rows of books, so that my gypsy soul can forever be free. This is such a great challenge, connecting a Tarot card to a top ten of my favourite books. I've r

Fortune Telling Must Haves - Pearls, Sequence & Butterfly Belts
It is in the dreams and aspirations of our childhood that we will find the truth of who we are in our adulthood. Don't let the years in between deceive you. #inspiredbytarot | 7 of Wands Today's challenge asks that we share a picture. Being that it's Halloween, I thought it would be fun to share a picture of me when I was about 12 years old. I knew exactly who I was at that age, and it never occurred to me that I would get so lost along the way. This picture depicts the Spiri

I am the Fool - Find Me in Tarot
When family is first, legacy is bound... and magic, therefore, can be found all around. #inspiredbytarot - 10 of Pentacles As I continue to work with Tarot, the student in me is always trying to connect the cards to my personal environment, situations and behaviours. When I can put a personal stamp on a card, it helps me connect with the energy and message individually or a reading as a whole. What I love is that each deck has it's little nuances that I connect with specifica

How to Get Unstuck - Three Card Tarot Reading
Investing in changed behaviours while managing your attitude, will grow your rate of success. #inspiredbytarot | The 7 of Pentacles Real change requires more then just making a decision; it requires making a decision to change a fundamental belief and or behaviour. It means hanging on in the midst of chaos, and staying the course, even when it appears you may have had a breakthrough. One of the greatest gifts Tarot has to offer, is simplifying the process of decision making.

Magically Guilty - I Heart Sci-Fi
"Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction" ~ Ray Bradbury | #inspiredbytarot - Three of Wands Today's challenge du jour is all about guilty pleasures. I have a few, and very hard to narrow down. I pulled the 3 of Wands, already knowing in my head it would most likely show itself. When I first started to learn Tarot, I played a game of imagery and word association. In the Tarot Nova deck,

A Golden Filled Memory
To sit with an early childhood memory is to connect with a time when Universe was setting fast your future. As #inspiredbytarot ~ 6 of Cups | The Chariot To be challenged with the task of blogging my earliest childhood memory is not a challenge at all. In fact I often think of this moment, and talk about it with my mom, who thinks I must be remember a trip from when I was around 2 years old. It is the memory of us driving in our family car. It was hot, and the windows were do
