Tarotscopes for July 12 to July 18
Jul 12th
Here we are! Another week and another round of interesting energies for everyone. This week there seem to be a lot of issues concerning acceptance and nurturing for almost everyone in one way or another. Lots of issues with nurturing relationships and working towards goals with active manifestation and planning. The thing to keep in mind this week is that whenever we are making change and working on relationships with others or working on moving forward with our own goals that we need to take our time and be gentle with ourselves as well as everyone else involved. This weeks readings were done using The Pictorial Key Tarot which is a nice Rider Waite Smith clone and one I’d recommend to beginners looking for a similar deck to the RWS to learn with.

Tarotscopes for June 28 to July 4
Jun 28th
Can you believe June is almost over!?! Before the week is out it’s going to be July!!! Where has the time gone? This week it looks like themes of balance and blockages finally breaking free will have most everyone ready to start soaking in that powerful sun energy and going forward full force. For this week I used the Robin Wood Tarot, one of my all time favorite “go to” decks, to do our readings. [Read More...]

Crystal Wednesday: Crystals for specific Needs
Jun 23rd
I recently had a request for a specific topic for the Crystal Wednesday post and I thought we would take a look at that today. At this point we’ve talked about picking stones, cleansing, clearing and charging stones, making elixirs with them and doing simple healing with them. We’ve look at a few specific stones as well and talked about how they could be used and which ones might be a little bit dangerous in certain applications because of toxicity (info on toxic stones can be found in the elixir article). The question that came in was from a reader that wanted to know about what stones she could use for a few specific recurring physical aliments that she and her child would experience. Now that she knew how to work with them, she didn’t know which ones to use for different issues. Today we’re going to take a look at something really simple, a reference list for aliments and stones to use. [Read More...]

A Tarot Spell for the Sun
Jun 21st
The Summer Solstice, Litha, Midsummer. Whatever you call it, we have reached the height of the sun’s power and we have come to the midway point of the year. While we often see the year divided into four seasons, in many ancient cultures the year was divided in half, honoring the summer and winter seasons alone. Today being the day that the sun reaches it’s apex, we have a special opportunity to take some of the power of the sun and draw it into our lives to help burn away things that no longer serve us while adding fuel to the things we wish to see grow in our loves.

A little about Litha and a Reading
Jun 21st
Happy Summer Solstice and Merry Litha! Today we honor and celebrate the height of the sun’s power. Today we take time to celebrate the triumph of the sun, the time when the Oak King reaches his peak and is then struck down by the Holly King who will rule the waning half of the year through winter. While today we see the year divided into four seasons, in ancient times many cultures, like that of the Celts, divided the year into two halves, summer and winter. The winter solstice marked the beginning of the winter and the summer solstice the beginner of summer. Today we often start to feel the hints of summer during mid-spring and it’s not uncommon for some places to feel as though summer has set in during the spring equinox or Ostara. This is the time of year that we see the lush green that sprung up several months ago during the equinox give way to fruit and flowers. While today most of us celebrate the solstice on the date when the event actually takes place, usually somewhere around June 21st, in some traditions there is a fixed date of June 25th which is honored and often called “Old Litha”. Litha is a favorable time to rededicate yourself to your path and the God and Goddess. [Read More...]
Tarotscopes for June 21 to June 27
Jun 21st
For this week’s tarotscopes I brought out a deck that I haven’t really worked with much but that I have really been wanting to spend some time with. The Vampire Tarot of the Eternal Night is one of the newer vampire themed decks that came out in the last year. Thanks to things like “Twilight” and “True Blood”, vampires are hot again and a number of tarot decks focused on vampires have come out recently. This one is easily one of my favorites because, not only is the artwork beautifully sleek and modern, but it also have a unique and different way of interpreting the cards. The companion book, written by Barbara Moore, walks you through the cards showing both the dark and light side of each card but also tying the card and it’s imagery into a unique vampire themed story. I really enjoyed working with these cards and will be writing up a review of the deck this week. [Read More...]
