Hello March! If you’re near Philadelphia this week, something special is happening this Friday, March 13, 2026. A project I’m involved in called Amethyst Gate is hosting a Literary Performance with open mic. I’d love for some of you to be there to participate from either the audience or the stage. You can register for free from Eventbrite. Below I’m sharing another excerpt from the latest post on the blog. It’s from the same piece I mentioned in the previous newsletter, though this passage is different and the post now carries a slightly revised title. And a warm thank you to those who wrote back after the last newsletter. Hearing from you means a lot to me. An excerpt:Drishti: At the edge of perception, intuition begins.What can The Chariot teach us about accessing inner knowing. Only you, dear reader, can say what moves alongside you. What do you notice only when it disappears? Might your keys know where you are even as you are still looking for them? Your phone most definitely knows where you are doesn’t it? Where is your phone? What if there is another way of knowing—one that arrives in fragments, in sensations, in partial signals. What if not knowing can be a form of holiness? What if momentum can be its own light source? The psychic clairs provide examples of this. These skills made so much more sense to me once I’d heard real people’s descriptions of using them. Clairvoyance—clear seeing—does not have to appear in front of you like a projected image. It can feel like a thought, or the memory of what something looks like, that suddenly feels like truth. Keep reading here: https://www.kimberlyessex.com/blog/drishti-at-the-edge-of-perception-intuition-begins Your invitation:We meet tomorrow for Tarot Reading Practice to read this month's tarot spread together. This Three of Cups was drawn from The Star Trek Tarot in our 2026 year-ahead spread for the month of February, and this spread was inspired by that particular Three of Cups. In the Star Trek episode "Mudd's Women," three women arrive whose beauty seems almost unreal. Their glamour comes from a substance meant to enhance it. The effect is temporary. When it fades, something else appears: the confidence attributed to the drug was never entirely in the drug. The perfection was fragile. The Three of Cups often shows people celebrating together. Here the celebration looks polished, coordinated, almost staged. Three women standing side by side, presented for admiration. The card asks what kind of world such admiration helps maintain. Our two questions come from that tension. What civilization do we help make when we participate in systems like this? And how might it be opened again? Feel free to use these questions as journal prompts—with or without tarot or other oracle. This month's Making is Breaking Tarot Spread asks:
This month's writing workshop:Join us on Zoom for Last Sundays Generative Tarot Writing Workshop from 3pm to 5pm ET to write from the tarot together. No tarot or writing experience is necessary.

Hello February! You will notice our art workshop is no longer listed in the offerings below. This month’s Second Sundays Asemic Art Tarot Workshop has already passed, and for now I’m choosing to pause this series. The last few sessions have been small, and while they were meaningful for me, I don’t currently have the time or energy to keep scheduling them without rethinking the format more carefully. Rather than continuing by default, I want to make space to consider what would make this...
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...
