Hello May! As last month's work with the Ace of Wands drew to a close with our tarot writing workshop, we noticed that seed of fire echoed in a powerful display of Major Arcana cards. If you're unfamiliar with the tarot or still finding your way into it, simply letting the names of these cards wash over you can help you begin to sense their energies. The Chariot, Death, The Hanged Man, and The Wheel of Fortune all made multiple appearances—echoing the change, tension, and uncertainty many of...

There’s a collective sense that we’re being called to nurture something new—not only within ourselves, but in the structures and relationships that shape our daily lives.

Hello 2025! Happy to announce a few changes coming to the event lineup this month. But first, I want to take a minute and ask you a favor. You probably noticed when you signed up for this newsletter that I have a range of interests and offerings. For me, everything centers around spirituality and creativity. And most of what I offer involves tarot cards but not all of it requires tarot cards. So that leaves me curious what YOU signed up for. Did you sign up specifically for tarot content? Did...

Hello! It's been a heavy year--over a year actually--since I sent out the last newsletter. Thank you for you patience and for sticking around! Something you may not know about me is that many years ago I used to train full-time organizers for a now-defunct organization called ACORN. This past year, like 2020, has awoken an important part of me that was dominant when I was working for ACORN. One thing I miss about working full time for a direct action organization is the the network of people...

Admitting this feels like a challenge to my meditation practice. The state...

In July of 2023, members of the Tarot for Creatives Meetup worked with all four of the knights of the tarot through meditations and a new tarot spread I created to take us further in this exploration. If you missed my live teaching of this tarot spread and our readings of it, I’m going to share it with you here so that you can give it a try on your own! Looking at the Tarot Knights through the lens of action, it is interesting to think of them as the Chariot cards of their respective suits....

Hello! I was hit with some tarot meditation inspiration last night and so I'm dropping in with an update about this month's activities!

Join us for this week’s Second Thursday Tarot to find out where your life is currently taking you with this Tarot Knights & Chariot spread. Keeping in mind, of course, that...
