I heart this meme.
It’s been created in response to the current scandal surrounding Facebook which has seen many users ditch the social media platform. In the most damaging controversy to ever hit Facebook it has been accused of allowing another company to harvest personal data to influence the last U.S. election.
So which Tarot cards are involved? Continue reading
I was lucky enough to see Ed Sheeran in concert the other night, with the added bonus of one of my favourite Australian musical acts, Missy Higgins, thrown in. I bought the ticket a couple of hours beforehand on impulse. It was a beautiful Melbourne day, the concert had been getting rave reviews, and I have a soft spot for Missy (even more than Ed).
This led me to wonder about the Tarot of a Music Concert.
Let’s explore that, shall we? Continue reading
The movie Frozen has been an absolute phenomenon.
The World: Its been popular all round the world with boys and girls alike.

Spiritual practice will not eliminate negative emotions. Emotions are part of the palette of life, part of the way consciousness moves. Not only can’t you get rid of them, but you’d feel empty and impoverished if you did. Practice can change your relationship to emotions, so that instead of being swamped by certain feeling states, you can hold them, contain them, see into their essence, and ultimately, use emotions in the service of your liberation.

I read this on Mystic Medusa’s blog today and immediately thought: Hells to the yeah! Too many peeps confuse being a spiritual person with being a good person. Imo they are not the same thing and you can see this clearly in Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana).
You can be interested in spirituality as represented by this card… Continue reading
My weekly email from Biddy Tarot has inspired me to look at the angels in Tarot. They are found on Life Lessons (aka Major Arcana) cards which are the most significant ones in the Tarot deck. Each is an archangel i.e. they are serious players in the angelic world, what they have to say is important. So if they turn up in a reading, pay attention!
Following on from yesterday’s post about The Sun I thought I’d sum up the three core beliefs in Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana). I call them Tarot’s Holy Trinity. They illustrate why I find Tarot to be such a beautiful and profound (not to mention useful) philosophy.
So sad to hear this news yesterday…
Death: Cory Monteith, one of the stars of the innocuous good-hearted television show Glee, passed away at the too young age of 31. He was found dead in his hotel room presumably of a drug overdose.
Which just goes to show that even if you reach… Continue reading
…And I’m back. I dropped off the radar for a couple of weeks there. Shit happens. Sometimes it’s just plain everyday stuff keeping me from this blog. I read on a writer’s blog recently that you shouldn’t use your family and friends as an excuse not to write but I call b-s- on that. Relationships come first as far as I’m concerned. If peeps need me I’ll be there. Anyway, as I discussed recently I feel like I write better when my head is clear. And it doesn’t kill me as much. I don’t know how it works for other writers but for me it takes a lot of energy to enter the writing ‘zone’. Its much easier for me to write when I’m rested than try to get to that place after a long day at work.
The World is the Tarot card that represents being ‘in the zone’ whether you are writing, painting, running a business, parenting or surfing. It’s that place you get to after a lot of effort where everything flows easily. It’s the ultimate Tarot/life experience.
In what area of your life do you ever feel yourself in ‘the zone’?
So, I’ve been blogging for a while now and thought I’d explore my experience through Tarot cards…
I’ve posted a couple of smile-inducing video clips to my Facebook page tonight including…
A fake ad made by the famous film-making Coen brothers to promote clean coal. The black clouds of smoke coming out of the clean coal spray cans gives the lie to the use of the adjective ‘clean’ in conjunction with ‘coal’. I’m filing this under the Seven Of Swords: Being sneaky. Trying to get away with something.

A woman dancing surreptitiously at a bus stop. I’m filing this under the following two cards:
Strength Reversed: Lacking confidence
The World: Being in the moment.
Mind you, I wouldn’t be brave enough to dance at all in public so good on her!
