So I picked up a copy of Sasha Graham's 365 Tarot Spreads to give myself some structure in getting to know the cards again AND to pick up some cool new spreads. It came last night, so I got started with today's entry - the Bird's-Eye View Spread. The trick with this spread is that … Continue reading 365 tarot spreads: bird’s-eye view spread

quiet on the outside (cacophony on the inside)
There are patterns to how I approach things, for better or for worse. There are steps, even. Something makes me uncomfortable and sticks in my head. It pisses me off, it chafes and it will not go away. It's an idea or a sentence or a movie or a song or a word, but what … Continue reading quiet on the outside (cacophony on the inside)
like a hermit moving through a dark night of the soul
I'm not even sure where to begin. I suppose this isn't a big leap from my last post. I'm sitting here in front of the keyboard, a jumble of words trying to fight for the right to flow from my heart through my hands.

So following are exercises and meditation notes from … Continue reading Questions and Exercises from “Tarot for Yourself” Chapter 1
Ruminations on Chapter 1 of “Tarot Shadow Work”
I am studying Christine Jette's "Tarot Shadow Work" this year less as an outward study and more as an inward study. I figure with so much shadowy stuff going on this year, it would be good to review with tarot. It fits in with that work, even if it's not necessarily about skill. The way … Continue reading Ruminations on Chapter 1 of “Tarot Shadow Work”
