When people talk about alchemy, I think most people think of an unhinged scientist huddled over a mortar and pestle, grinding away at something crazy, alembics bubbling away in the background. They think of the visual of alchemy and not the sought-after alchemical reactions or why the alchemist seeks it

Hark! I have returned. After a few months away to focus on real-life work, things have returned (somewhat) to normal, and I am able to put pen-to-paper (*ahem* finger-to-keyboard) to talk all things Tarot. During my break, I continued in my Tarot/Self-Improvement journey. I completed my Tarot Advisor certification

Here we are approaching mid-May, the time of the year when our calendars are invaded by graduations and graduation-related celebrations. And if there was ever a card in the deck to represent graduation, it's the Ace of Swords; it's like a Valedictorian speech pre-packed and ready

Another eight card today! Eights in Tarot usually have both a spiritual and material aspect to them - similar to the top and bottom of the actual 8 (as above, so below). It is representative of infinite cycles of energy, it, itself, is a lemniscate (that's the infinity

YOU BETTAH WERK! It's Wednesday, and I'm fresh back from a brief vacation to Austin to see the fabulous Patti LuPone in concert. It was a great time and we met up with a good friend, had some great food, and had some much-needed time to

Perhaps the most iconic of representations of Tarot, The Fool is the embodiment of Tarot. They are experience. Not only do they bring their past experience and knowledge with them, but they are eager and ready to move on in search of the new, in pursuit of transformation and growth.
