Hey Everyone!
I had the pleasure of reading cards live on air on internet radio! How awesome is that? I spoke with Shannon and Erica and answered questions for them and for callers. You can watch the video below.
Thank you for having me on the show Shannon and Erica! That was awesome!
This afternoon, Christine from Soulscension and I did a live Tarot reading on Facebook. I wasn’t sure what to expect but had an absolute blast.
It was great to provide clarity to people live and online. Normally, I read person to person or via video, so this was a new experience for me.
It won’t be the last time I do a live Facebook reading! I had so much fun!

I’m often asked about my path to the Tarot cards. Here’s that story:
I thought the Tarot was all about fortune telling. You asked a question, you drew a card and you read its meaning in the book and that was it. It never occurred to me that they could be for something deeper, something more personal.
During our first class, my teacher told us that the cards were really doorways. That stuck with me and each card was like a little window showing me what I needed to know.
When I started taking Tarot classes, I thought I knew everything already. I had been reading the Tarot cards for years, had delved into different types of fortune telling.
I was also a bit of mess. I was coming off the end of a difficult relationship and my body was different than it had been and I was still coming to grips with how it was now. I was battered emotionally, physically and spiritually.
My teacher talked a lot about using the Thoth deck for personal growth. It was a revelation for me. I never knew that the Tarot could be used in such a way. It never occurred to me that they could be used for anything other than fortune telling.
We started off reading just based on colour. We had to draw a card for ourselves every day after we asked the cards a question. I kept getting repeat cards.
One of them was the Aeon, a bright and beautiful card that to me looked like arms giving me a hug. The Aeon kept coming up for me in my daily card draw. I wondered why it kept coming up. It wasn’t until we started delving into the meanings of the cards that it started to make sense.
The card represents insight, transformation, that we should leave behind our old perceptions and embrace higher learning. What it really represented was the balance between spirit and self.
I was, quite frankly, stunned. I had been going through a transformation in my life. I was struggling to find peace in my new life, reborn in the same body but a different person. I was drowning. The Aeon was a light amongst the darkness.
I realized then that I had to open myself up, that I had to embrace what the cards were trying to tell me. So my questions to the cards changed. Instead of wanting to know if I would find love, I asked them how to go about loving myself.
I felt an awful lot like the Fool that opens the deck. He’s starting on a journey and it takes him through the deck of cards. I was going on my own journey, learning about myself and about what I was cable of.
As my confidence with the cards grew, so did my confidence in myself. The cards helped to put things into perspective. Yes, I was a different person, no longer the same. However, the cards showed me that I was on the right path and that the journey would only be over when I was no longer willing to lean and no longer willing to grow.
That journey still continues. Every day, I learn more about myself, I learn more about what I am capable of. My spirit and my heart are aligned now and the world is no longer filled with darkness. It is only filled with light.
Let’s hope this Fool’s journey I am on never ends.
T
he question I am asked most as a Tarot Consultant is: Will I find love?
Love is one of the greatest things we can be given by another person and yet it has no form, no shape, nothing we can touch and yet it can fill up our bodies, our hearts and our souls. It’s a beautiful thing.
All the readings I’ve done as of late have been about love or finding love. I have happily done the readings but urged my clients to think of questions that would further their personal growth.
I’ve come to realise that love is part of any healing process. Self-love should come first. However, when we don’t have love from another, we are always searching for it, always wanting it. We aren’t a species meant to be on our own; love should be a constant.
We have family and friends that love us, but it’s not the same thing as having romantic love. Someone to wake up with, to fall asleep beside, to pick you up when you are down, to lend support when you need it most.
When I was on my path to love, the first question I asked a fellow Tarot reader was “Will I find love again?”
I had just ended a really bad relationship and had one failed marriage behind me. I wondered if I would ever find it again, whether or not it was in my path or in my cards. Thankfully, the cards said I would, but they urged me to love myself first.
I thought I already loved myself. I went on a few disastrous dates. They all ended badly and I knew that these men weren’t right for me, that they were repeats of past relationships. They were doors I didn’t want to open.
So I took the card’s advice, asking questions like “What do I need to know?” and “What do I focus on?” and “What is the next step on my path?” and “What do I need to do to better myself?”
Throughout the next few months, I focused on self-love, on being good to myself, and more that on actively loving myself. It wasn’t easy. However, the cards were there every step of the way to guide me along, giving me advice when it looked as if all hope was lost or giving guidance and support when life was dark.
Love is one of the emotions that we cherish and need the most. Why wouldn’t we want to know if or when it’s coming?
After all, I did; everyone does.
