Halloween Reflections.

by

I woke up in a reflective mood this morning.

At this time of the year, when the change of season is all around us, it becomes easy for me to feel the need to slow down and ponder.

November 1st growing up was the time when my family and I would go to the cemetery to pay respect to the loved ones we had lost.

There we would run into plenty of relatives and our bonds would be re energized.

Around this time of the year, I like to remember those I loved and miss.

During my Halloween reflections I like to ponder on how I have changed and grown through the years.

Today I tried a new Tarot spread I found on http://www.interrobangtarot.com

It is called The Samhain Tarot Spread.

It only requires six cards, but I found it very effective.

What is your favorite spread to use at this time of year?

Summer 2021

by

Hi everyone.

It has been a while since I last posted. As you can see from the photo of my garden, I have been spending a lot of time outdoors.

Here we are, Summer 2021, things are better than last year, but there is still a lot of uncertainty. I, for one, am trying to decide if it is safe to go to Italy this Fall. I want to see my family and friends, rejuvenate at the seaside, reacquaint my self with Florence, my hometown. I am following the ever changing numbers in Europe, I guess I will decide what to do at the last minute.

Here in Guelph the numbers of cases are very low, the rate of vaccinated people is high. I feel fairly safe.

I have started to offer Tarot readings in person again. I am still taking precautions, reading at a safe distance, clients not touching the cards. I am currently not using the office, because we could not keep a safe distance there. I am reading on the deck and at the dining room table.

I am not offering Reiki yet, I am sorry.

I must say it has been nice to see clients in person again. A few told me they had been hesitant to book on line. They did not know if distance would have affected the quality of the reading. Let me assure you that it does not. Your voice carries your energy and that is all I need.

So, to sum it up, I remain available for Tarot readings on Messenger, Face Time, What’s App and on the phone, plus you can now come to see me in person.

I hope you get to make the most of your Summer, it will be gone before we know it.

 

Hello again.

by

Hello again.

I have kept a very low profile for the past several months.

2020 was stressful for everyone and I was no exception. Some personal health issues drained my energy and I had to focus on me. I am now doing fine and I am eager to reconnect with my readers, students and clients.

Due to the pandemic we are all forced to do things differently and remotely.

I am old school and and low tech.

I am familiar with face book Messenger, WhatsApp and face time. We can do Tarot readings on those platforms and of course by phone. 

I have used Zoom, but I need to do more research before feeling confident enough to offer classes and Tarot Meet Ups on that platform, but I am working on it.

Please tell me what you would like to learn. 

Reversals?

Elements?

How to pose a good Tarot question?

Would you like to learn specific Tarot spreads?

Would you like to learn how to build your own?

Are you interested in taking Tarot 1, 2  and 3 ?

Would you like to focus on the images in the cards and let them speak to you?

 

I am all ears! Talk to me and I will know which courses I should prepare and when I am ready I will announce them.

I have read so many books in 2020, I have learnt so much that I am eager to share

Good news.

Tarot readings on the porch.

Hello everyone!
It has been a while! During this crazy times I have kept a low profile and I stopped my in person readings and Reiki sessions.

Months have passed, we have a better idea of what we are dealing with and the situation in Guelph is fairly good, therefore I have good news.

I am offering Tarot readings in person once again. In order to comply with safety guidelines I am not working from my office. The room is too small to keep the two metres distance.

Tarot readings on the deck.

According to the weather and where the sun is at the time of the appointment, I will be reading from my deck in the back, my porch in the front or in my dining room.
Also for safety reasons I will be the only person touching the cards.

Of course I remain available for readings on Messenger, Face time and by phone. You can book me for a 30 or 60 minute Tarot reading.

In person readings are one hour.

I hope to see you soon, be safe, enjoy the Summer and contact me if you have any questions.

Nine of Swords

by

Nine of Swords from Everyday Witch Tarot.

The Nine of Swords guides us through the week of April 6 to 12, 2020.

The image clearly reflects how many of us feel, and perhaps look right now.

During times of uncertainty it is harder to find the strength and motivation to begin another day.

It is easy to give up, let fears and sadness take over.

This week will most likely give us ample reasons to despair, especially if we keep the news on as background noise.

Let’s remember that the darkest time comes just before dawn.

So concentrate on the sunrise and if you can, soak up some sun in the back yard or on your deck.

Get up, take a shower, get dressed, and tidy up your environment. You will be surprised by how such little steps can lift your spirit.

This too shall pass.

Let’s be grateful for our health, our loved ones and even the time we now have to be present and talk to each other.

Something else we can be grateful for is the advance of technology, which is helping us in so many ways.

Many are able to work from home.
We can order what we need and have it delivered.
Thanks to Cable, WiFi, Netflix and so on hours can fly by.

Imagine how much harder the situation would have been with the technology we had in the 60’s.

So get going!
If you are one of those who can work from home, consider yourself very lucky.

To those who still go out to work everyday I say thank you!
You have good reasons to feel tired, scared and discouraged, but your actions help everyone.
So please be strong. Do everything you can to protect yourself and know that you are appreciated.
You are making a difference and don’t let a few idiots here and there make you think otherwise.

To those who have let fear overcome good judgement and compassion, I say “Wake Up!”
Fear is no excuse to stock pile and leave empty shelves to others.
There is no excuse to be rude to those still working with the public. None.

So let us be kind to ourselves and to others.

We are all a bit scared and confused, but if you are reading this it means you are alive, so let’s be grateful for that.

Call your loved ones, forgive and forget.
Express your affection.
Revisit your priorities.

May love prevail over fear and selfishness.
May the lucky ones find the strength to support and comfort the others.
Rise, get dressed and find reasons to smile throughout the day.
I will try to do the same.

Temporary adjustments.

by

Hi Everyone.

I hope you are all doing well and continue to do so. Given what is going on, I am implementing some changes. They may change overnight depending on suggested or imposed restrictions.

For now, I have cancelled my Reiki appointments and I am not taking any.

I am still open for in person Tarot readings, provided that my clients and I continue to appear totally healthy. I am increasing the distance between my self and clients and I will be the only one touching the cards. I was already the only one doing the shuffling, but from now on clients will not be asked to cut the deck.

I have been cleaning and sterilizing traffic areas for days and I will continue to do so.

I encourage you to try readings over the phone, face time, messenger or Whats App. You can pay for them by Pay Pal or credit card through my Store page, or by e-transfer, contact me for details.

Thank you.

Up date.

 Until restrictions are lifted, I will be doing readings only by phone and on line.

The Fool

by

Someone free and willing to do the unexpected

The Fool from Spell Caster’s Tarot.

It is fitting for the Fool to represent the energy of the week of December 30 2019 to January 5 2020.

The Fool is a beautiful card full of possibilities.

It expresses the open heart and mind and the willingness to go where we have not been before.

This card is the first one of of the Major Arcana, also known as big secrets. These twenty two Arcana tell the journey of the new soul on earth. Card zero is the white canvass that will get painted by the experiences represented by the following twenty one cards.

As I look at the image, I see someone full of hope and travelling light. Somebody without preconceived ideas, opinions or expectations. Someone open to experience what comes along and make the best of it.

Let the Fool inspire you to give life a chance and seek joy and adventure.

If you are bored or dissatisfied with the way things are going, embrace change.

Would you like more joy and excitement in your life?
Go out more. Try new things. Be spontaneous. Follow your heart and your dreams.

Be in the moment, without expectations.

Meet people where they are, not where you would like them to be.
Give people and life a chance.

Free yourself from the desire to control everything and everyone and surprise! You may find yourself walking a bit lighter and breathing a little easier.

At the beginning of a new year most of us feel inspired to make changes to improve our lives.
The Fool encourages that, but instead of writing strict resolutions, give yourself permission to do the unexpected and stay open to opportunities and different ways of doing things.

The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4

by

The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4 from Spell Caster's Tarot

The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4 from Spell Caster’s Tarot

The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4, guides us through the week of December 16 to 22 2019.

When you see him think :

a father figure,

power,

passion,

building,

solid plans,

stability,

clear expectations.

Let me give you some examples of how the energy of the card may express for you this week.

Some of you may become fathers.

Some may spend more time than usual with their children.

Others will interact or have important conversations with their dad.

If you are dealing with chaos, now is the time to restore order.

Assess the situation honestly and figure out what needs to change.

Once that is done, show courage and true intention . Stick to the plan and get things done.

If you lack the back bone that is needed, find someone who does and that you trust.

The person cannot be a softy.
He, or she is a good thinker and will come out with a good plan , a list of actions to take and rules to abide to.

The Emperor will have things running smoothly as quick as possible, but everyone will need to follow his instructions, including you.

Last, but not least, building.
With this card, work will start on time and will be done well. The finished product will be beautiful and will last for a very long time.
I am glad to see this, because renovations of my kitchen started today.

Should you want to understand the Emperor, Major Arcanum 4 even deeper, follow the link https://wisdomandhealing.ca/the-emperor/ to another post I have written about him.

The Seven of Swords is back

by

Seven of Swords from Spell Caster's Tarot

Seven of Swords from Spell Caster’s Tarot

The Seven of Swords is the card for the week of December 9 to 15 2019.

The last time we saw it was on August 5 2019. You can read that post here https://wisdomandhealing.ca/seven-of-swords/

Since I already wrote extensively about it there, I am just going to post the highlights here.

Deception.

Running away.

Possible material loss.

Secrecy.

You may be on the giving or the receiving end . You could be the victim or the perpetrator.

Deception could be expressed with intentional misleading or omitting information.

Running away from situations and / or responsibilities.

The possible material loss can come from someone accidentally leaving something behind or by having something stolen.

Secrecy.

You are trying to protect yourself by leaving a bad or dangerous situation unnoticed.

You are preparing to launch a project or a product under a veil of secrecy to defend your work from competitors or possible copy cats.

You are hiding what you are doing because your actions would be met with opposition or disagreement. People will not be happy with you when the truth comes up and it will.

The Sun

by

The Sun brings joy, success and clarity.

The Sun from Spell Caster’s Tarot.

What a lovely sight!
The last time we saw this card was on March 4 2019. Click here https://wisdomandhealing.ca/the-sun/ if you would like to read what I wrote about it at the time.

This card brings joy, affection, good times, celebration and good will.

Some will be lucky enough to vacation somewhere warm.

It can also indicate happy times spent with children.
For some it may bring news of a pregnancy or the birth of a baby.

If you came to my site worrying about someone’s health or up coming surgery, the Sun is usually a good omen for vibrant health and a speedy recovery.

It is also a good time for creative endeavours, trying something new and be spontaneous.

The card also speaks of clarity.
If you have been confused by not having enough facts to make an informed decision, now you will.
All that was hidden comes to light. You have clear vision and you can make your move confidently and quickly.

To those who have been feeling sad and alone, this image hints at a lighter mood and to reach out for the support of those around you. You are not alone.

The appearance of the Sun invites you to open up, be sincere, hopeful, confident and bold.
Open you heart and recognize all that is good in your life.
Be grateful, hospitable and spread the joy around you.
Seize the day!

Justice

by

Justice, a strong lady balancing a scale in her right hand

Justice from Spell Caster’s Tarot

Justice guides us through the week of November 25 to December 1st 2019.

Important decisions will be made in the days ahead. Legal contracts may be signed.

Some will be dealing with lawyers, legal papers and going to court. The judge will be fair, if you are in the right, you have nothing to fear.

Others will see the results of past actions and decisions come to fruition for good or bad.

You may be making important decisions that will have big consequences not only in your life, but in those of others too.
It is best to stay objective and detached while considering the impact that your choices will have on them.

When Justice appears you are asked to:

Examine your conscience.

Look at the situation from all angles and perspectives.

Be honest.

If you have made mistakes, own it and make amends.

Seek balance in you life.

When facing disagreements, do your best to find common ground and a fair resolution for all involved.

Four of Pentacles

by

Four of Pentacles from Spell Caster’s Tarot.

The Four of Pentacles is the card guiding us through the week of
November 18 to 24 2019.

Security and stability are very important at this time, as well as boundaries.

Check your finances.
Do you have debts? Can you handle it?

How reliable is your income?

Do you have enough savings to support you through rainy days?

Pay of some of your debts if you can.

Cut expenses where possible.

Increment your savings.

If you invest your money, favour low to moderate risk .

Christmas is around the corner and you may be tempted to buy extravagant gifts or be more generous than usual.
Balance your book first, so that you will know how much you can afford to spend.

An other aspect of the Four of Pentacles is physical and material security.

Check your home and your car and take care of any maintenance work required, including possible improvement to the security system.

Last, but not least, the peculiar position of the guy in the card of the deck I am using, reminds me of a spider.
After consulting my trusted copy of Animal Speak by Ted Andrews, a few concepts grab my attention.

1)The difficulty and importance to keep balance while we shift from one chapter of our lives to another.

2) The necessity to value both the spiritual and the material.

Reading between the lines, I get the suggestion to walk carefully and with focus.

This is important to me, since it has been a week since I fell walking my dog. The city has yet to clean up the roads or sidewalks in my area and I have found walking very stressful ever since. Today, a fresh coat of snow hides the ice below.
My dog still needs her walks, but I need to be very careful.

Have a great week!

Eight of Pentacles.

by

Eight of Pentacles from Spell Caster’s Tarot.

Hi everyone.

This week we have the eight of Pentacles guiding us through November 11 to 17 2019.

As I look at the card I notice the dog, which to me suggests trust, loyalty and domesticity.

The squirrel also gets my attention, reminding me of its habit to prepare for Winter by storing nuts well ahead of time.

I see the guy working in the rain to put a roof over the animals and the coins.

This week keep up the good effort at work or school.
Your industry is paying off. Persevere and you will be able to relax soon enough.

Be prudent with your spending.
Save toward big ticket items, or put money aside for rainy days.

Protect those you love and give a helping hand to those in need.

Should you be the one on the receiving end, accept the help gracefully. Be grateful and pay it forward when you can.

Take care of home and business.
Pay attention to details, keep up with regular maintenance and upgrades.

If you are feeling tired because you have worked long and hard on a project, don’t lose your motivation, you are almost there.

For those who are looking for a job, or studying or training for one, put out your best effort. Show your work ethic and any talent or experience you may bring to the table.
