A Spread for the Winter Solstice

Wish Jars and The Winter Solstice
I recently listened to a podcast on the power of rituals. I loved what they had to say. And while I don’t think of myself as one who abides by many, there is one in particular that I will take part in on a yearly basis. The wish jar.…
Worry and the Nine of Swords
I was sitting on my cushion one morning and an image popped into my head. It was an old version of me. A very old version of me. Sitting reclined on a big green chair saying “I wish I had worried less…”
Beyond the Veil Spread

How Reiki saved me (part 2)
My favorite time for this is right before bed as I am already laying down and I find the process to be incredibly relaxing. You may lay down or find a comfortable seated position with your back straight. Rub your palms together to create some heat between them (approximately 10 seconds)
How Reiki saved me (part 1)
While the Vipassana retreat gave some temporary relief in the moment, it didn’t alleviate this feeling from me like I hoped it would. It was the first time I said to myself, “Why are we all living? What's the point?” I was not suicidal but I thought “What was the purpose behind all of this?”

The Beauty of Death
When Death arises as we lay down the Tarot, it signifies holding on to the outdated version of ourselves because, “Oh no! If I am not THAT person…then who am I actually?” And that, my friends, is the scary bit.
