Tarot Talks: Navigating Your Life Using Tarot

In last week's Tarot Talks I spoke of comparing yourself with the have-nots in life and how tarot can take you out of that head-space and provide clarity and offer a different perspective. This week I would like to go a bit further into using clarity provided by tarot. This is a bit of a paradox because tarot can sometimes have us raising more questions than answering the ones we came in with.

It is true that tarot is complex, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Learning it's language -  I don't mean memorizing the instruction book either - and how it speaks to you is the key to a successful and insightful reading. Oftentimes tarot gives insight into different paths when we find ourselves at a crossroads.

I don't believe that tarot should be used as a GPS, but rather should be used as a compass. GPS systems have a set destination and you follow exactly where the voice tells you to go. A compass on the other hand tells you where True North is and it's up to you to go in the direction that would best get you to where you want to go. Unlike an actual compass tarot may also advise that East will get you closer to your goal, or show you the downfalls in taking West. Either way, you are the decider.

When using tarot for self development shift your focus from seeing tarot as a thing that tells you what's going to happen to seeing tarot as a tool that allows you to make better informed and more effective decisions in your life. This is the first step in empowering yourself and gaining clarity in your life by using tarot. Self-reflective and open-ended questions are best to ask in a reading.

Next week I will be talking more about effective questions and spreads to start using tarot as a spiritual compass. Stay tuned :)


Brightest Blessings,

Dreamwork: Creative Triggers for Lucid Dreams

Lately a few people have mentioned to me the occurrence of "weird dreams," or dreams that are rather vivid and busy. Weird is a subjective term and means different things to different people, but I assure you that "weird" is quite normal in the dreamscape. Weird, strange, or peculiar dreams can be one of the best spring boards to dreamwork.  In my experience I have three different types of dreams: lucid, prophetic/psychic, and the typical strange dream we're all used to. I'll start by discussing my experience with lucid dreams because they require triggers. In lucid dreams I become aware that I'm dreaming.  I know that I am the conscious creator and if I feel the desire I can mold and shape things in the environment, including the people, places, and scenarios.  I can decide to sit on the ceiling, ride a bike through the air, or become another person. In my Strive to be Lucid post I mentioned that when you start becoming lucid you may startle and

Dreamwork and Crystal Combinations: Chrysocolla, Howlite, and Unakite

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon "All we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -  Edgar Allan Poe Dreams have always fascinated me. I will be sharing my experiences in a new dreamwork blog series. I have been able to lucid dream from a young age.  Growing up, and in my adult years, I continue to work with dreams, interpret, read and learn what I can about dreaming, and the dreamscape. What does "working with dreams" mean exactly?  I purposefully do things in waking life to encourage things to happen in my dream life.  If there are herbs, crystals, foods, drinks, music, or meditation said to enhance lucid or psychic dreaming, you bet that I'm going to try it out.  I will discuss more of this in future blog posts. First thing I want to talk about is this particular crystal combination because I am thrilled with the results.  (Even though this is not necessarily the most important thing in
