Twin Flames, Soul Mates & Karmics: Who is “The One”?

The real-talk version of: what are Twin Flames, Soul Mates, and Karmic relationships, and how do I call in the love I feel I am ready for? This is the main topic that comes up in the majority of tarot readings. You don’t need to book a session to find this one out. You don’t need to keep searching the Internet for some glossy but ultimately impractical information that will guarantee a heart-aching, time-consuming goose chase. Have a golden egg instead…

Regret Celebrating Lion’s Gate or Not? : A Reality Check

I wasn’t inspired enough to post this until the end of this “magical” 8/8 day. My understanding of what the day was or is supposed to be is complicated by the reality of a collective undergoing serious structural changes. I am not writing this to bash die-hard or newly converted New Age enthusiasm, but I am going to touch a little on confusion around cultural appropriation of “ancient” holidays. This article is really aimed at those who feel like they’re supposed to be celebrating Lion’s Gate or know exactly what it means and are too embarrassed to admit they might not really have a clue or are getting mixed messages about it. …

New Moon in Leo : August 8, 2021

Where do sunflower seeds come from? Neither could my mind figure out nor my eyes see in my own backyard where crafty Nature seemed to be hiding these things until a dear farmer enlightened me on the matter. What a mesmerizing geometric sight it is. We think of Leo energy, linked to the Sun, as being self-centered, radiant, and bold like an aptly named sunflower; this confident sunflower is actually composed of oodles of little flowers each holding a seed. This New Moon has a lot of planetary aspects going on, but the general message from all those different angles and perspectives is pretty unified. …

Are Psychics Creeps? : Secrets Are the Easiest* Thing to Read

There are different signals a psychic picks up from a person. Each reader will have their own set of specific tools naturally attuned to them for reading, just as musicians tend to have a preferred instrument or two. One of them works a bit like a lie detector test might, in that it is measuring something of a stress-emotional response to different stimuli, questions, internal thoughts. These tools, by the way, can be taught to anyone, just as anyone can theoretically learn to read body language. …

Difference between a Reader and a Mystic : Which One is Better?

A Reader will identify where the way is clear and where the fallen trees are blocking your path. A Reader helps guide you on your way. A Mystic does the same but is also committed to energetically removing the obstacles. A Mystic cannot be anything other than a catalyst and space holder for transformation to take place. If you’re not sure which intuitively appeals more, here’s a very quick multiple choice quiz to help determine which is better for you: …

Tips to Get the Most out of a Tarot/Astrology Reading

Seeking a reading is going to someone with a cup. The emptier that cup is, the more you’re able to fill it. Is there a hole in the cup? Is the cup already full, so when you try to fill it with something new, that new liquid starts to go in but mainly just ends up spilling off over the edges and making a mess everywhere? Should you just get a bigger cup? …

My Least Favorite Tarot Questions : Or, on Magical Ethics & the Cult of Disempowerment

There are two primary reasons one might be drawn to “magic”: a) disempowerment and b) efficiency. Confusion, uncertainty, a conscious or not-so-conscious sense of victimization by superficial circumstances and a little errant emotion to fuel it all seems to generally be the recipe for motivating one to seek out intangible leverage in life via the magical path. This is another way of describing disempowerment, the ever-present shadow of self-realization. …

Why Obsess over Astrology? : Thoughts on My Favorite Modality

It took a while to believe there could be a benefit in studying what is generally considered to be pseudoscience. I don’t need to list internationally recognized geniuses across history who had a fondness for astrology to justify its merit. I could care less what the general population thinks. Most people sleep through the daily gift of an exquisite sunrise, but they still happen, and life carries on. The occult’s historical disinformation campaign is unparalleled. These arts and their practice were, after all, intended to be kept secret…
