February 2025 Tarot Card & Journal Prompts:

This month we will be revisiting our 2025 Year Ahead Reading to work with the Ten of Pentacles at our Second Thursday Tarot Reading Practice event.

The Ten of Pentacles combines the element of fire (creativity, warmth, passion, courage, ambition, etc.) with the numerology of ten (completion, transition, fulfillment, wholeness, community, etc).

How is the energy of the Ten of Pentacles moving through your life this month?

Here are some questions to assist you in exploring the energy of this card inspired by this version of the Ten of Pentacles we pulled from the Guardian of the Night Tarot. Feel free to use these as journal prompts or as tarot questions or both.

  1. What hive do you belong to? How do you contribute to its success?
  2. How are you balancing your own individual efforts with the needs of your community?
  3. What does true wealth look like through the eyes of nature?
  4. What stories live in your bones? How did they get there?
  5. How does your story align or differ with that of your ancestors?
  6. In what ways do the people in your life align or differ from you?
  7. If you discovered a time capsule you'd buried as a child, what would you hope to find inside?
  8. What lasting impact do you make through your daily actions?
  9. If you think of yourself as one of many, what does that change your perspective on legacy?
  10. What have your ancestors been trying to tell you?

This month's writing workshop:

Join us on Zoom for Last Sundays from 3pm to 5pm ET to write from the tarot together. No experience necessary. You need only a tarot deck and something to write with to participate.

New workshop! Asemic Art with the Tarot

I am really excited with how the first meeting of this event went last month! The art of Asemic Writing (or Asemic Art) presented something new to each person in attendance which led to a really cool discussion of process, intention, and intuition. A simple description of Asemic Art/Writing: an art form that appears to be writing but that has no semantic meaning. To see some examples, I recommend checking out the works of Cy Twombly and Renee Gladman. I hope you will decide to join us!

tarot & meditations

It’s tempting to hold back—especially when being seen has meant being misunderstood. But we aren’t meant to live as spectators. My work exists to invite people back into relationship with life: through meditation, tarot, art, and writing experiences that hold space for connection. Each offering is a small gesture toward re-entry. When we begin to show up, others do too. And that’s how it happens: we co-create something better, together.

Hello 2026! This month I decided to bring my art and tarot knowledge together to create an exercise you might find useful. I ended up writing quite a bit about my own tarot reading practice, specifically about the difference between projective tarot reading and intuitive tarot reading. You may be surprised at how I use both and why. The full post turned into a writing exercise you can try for yourself with any tarot or oracle card. After the excerpt from this blog post below, you will find my...

Hello December! This month's blog post has been in the works for months. I wanted to create a quick guide to help someone recognize whether a deck of cards is a tarot or not. As a tarot meetup organizer, I could see there was a need for this. Along the way I decided it was necessary to make clear what is not a tarot as well. So, if you already know what a tarot is, the section on non-tarot oracle deck systems may be of interest to you. Or the section on historical decks. I really went on a...

Hello November! That new collaborative project I told you about last month kicked off on October 23, 2025. Details about the next Amethyst Gate coming up this month on November 21, 2025 can be found at amethystgate.com. Our friend Elizabeth Kirwin did a write up on the first event that you can read at fairiesinamerica.com. I chose to write about the process that brought Amethyst Gate into being. Amethyst Gate is a new monthly literary series in Philadelphia that brings together poetry, music,...
