Today’s question: What ally do I need to cultivate a better relationship with? Card: King of Cups Look at the waves! The rising and falling of feelings, the crash of emotions against one another – creating complexity and threatening chaos. And look at the King, settled on their throne, navigating those swells and rapids […]
I’ve been having a pretty rough stretch lately, particularly at that intersection between my professional and personal lives. Yesterday, I noticed that I hadn’t actually looked at my cards for more than a month, which is a pretty atypical stretch me, and probably a sign that I’m uncomfortable with something in my life, so I […]
I recently returned from a much-anticipated and somewhat-feared solo retreat at Christ In The Wilderness, a retreat center located near Stockton, Illinois. It’s a really lovely space, and offers what is (for me, at least) something particularly precious: solitude. I spent four days and three nights there, alone with a journal, music, some books, a […]
Most of my tarot draws this year have been about finding an ally for myself for some period of time. Generally, that’s been for a week, but sometimes for a particular event, a conversation, or a longer period of time. I like this relationship with the card images because it makes me feel like I […]
My birthday was a week ago, which means that it’s time to offer some ill-informed ramblings about my new year card. Last year, as I talked about here, was a Wheel of Fortune year for me, and I certainly experienced a good deal of that on-the-edge whirling throughout the past twelve months. I feel like […]
I’m still sitting with a couple of recent draws, so this one is actually from this week – so the post is either on time, or from the future, depending on your perspective. Ally Draw: An ally for abundance Card: 5 of Swords Well, this is interesting. So we have several people in this card […]
Still running these a couple of weeks behind the actual draw. I’d like to say that that’s because I am taking the extra time to reflect, but mostly it’s because I don’t get around to publishing the post right away. Ally Draw #4: An ally for optimism Card: Ten of Swords WELP. That happened. A […]
For this draw, which came a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t have a specific request from the cards. Just an ally for the week, a symbol to refer back to when I needed a reminder of…well, whatever it is that this ally has to teach me. Ally Draw #3 Card: Page of Pentacles Oh, […]
In my second weekly draw, I found myself in need of an ally for clarity around a few challenging conversations that needed to happen. Nothing terribly stressful or troubling, but those conversations were up for me when I was drawing the cards that Sunday. Ally Draw #2: An ally for clarity Card: Four of Swords […]
Now that the remodeling is done at home, I’ve been feeling more time and space to relax and breathe. In addition to wandering around the apartment and saying, “Look! There are multiple rooms available to me!” I have started doing a weekly tarot draw on the weekends – just a single card, asking which ally […]
