Draw for January 29, 2016

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off on Draw for January 29, 2016

Today’s Draw: Aurboda/Page of Wands; Isa; Suttung/Six of Coins. Fire, ice, and earth are all active energies today. Remember to bring in air energy to keep things balanced. Suttung grounds the reading with all of that earth energy–just look at those coins, rocks, and heavy throne. However, notice Odin in serpent form peering out from the […]

Today’s Draw: Hrungnir/Seven of ands; Inguz; Fenris/The Devil. Today will be many things, but jolly is not one of them. You have some serious issues to confront, and some very real problems to solve. Your frustration over the fact that some (or many, or most) of the problems are self-inflicted isn’t helpful. Admit that fact, […]

Today’s Draw: Jord/Queen of Coins; Fyruedal and Gar; Ran/Queen of Cups. As I was shuffling this morning, I realized it had been a while since I reset the deck. So I took a few minutes to sort and re-shuffle it to completely reset the order of the cards. And today’s reading is a mirror of […]

The Destruction card in the Dark Goddess Tarot by the divinely talented Ellen Lorenzi-Prince is, of course, Kali.

Hel’s Opportunities and Options Spread

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off on Hel’s Opportunities and Options Spread

This spread was inspired by the image of the goddess Hel on the Two of Earth card in Ellen Lorenzi-Prince‘s fantastic Dark Goddess Tarot, and the accompanying text. In Ellen’s words: “You have more than one task, more than one voice, more than one passion. You must make choices in your behavior, but do not […]

Victoria Day Mass at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Canada

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off on Victoria Day Mass at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Canada

Note: I am not a practicing Catholic. My family was loosely Methodist (Christmas, Easter, and Mother’s Day), and my personal spiritual philosophy is a very mixed bag.  Most of what I know of Catholic doctrine comes from portraying an Italian noblewoman at Renaissance Faire for many years. I am not advocating a particular faith, dogma, […]

The Miracle Worker Retires

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Looking back on 2011 (and prior years, of course, but 2011 in particular), I realize how often I have stepped into the role of The Miracle Worker. Someone loses track of a deadline? No problem, The Miracle Worker drops everything and rushes in to make sure the deadline is met! Someone knows the deadline, but […]

2011 in Perspective, or, Wow, I Didn’t Spontaneously Combust!

Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Inspired by Jo Crawford‘s post on Crafting the Sacred, I am sharing my 2011 “I Did” list, to celebrate what I did accomplish. It’s so easy to get caught up in thinking about what I should have done, or ought to have done, or didn’t do at all, that I’m reminding myself that the 365 […]

Approaching an intersection with another road, she had the right of way. The driver of the car to the right had stopped for the red light. The driver of […]
