Leisa ReFalo Offers Journaling Materials
By Sheri Harshberger
I was going to wait and publish this review next month, but since Gary mentioned journaling in his Lesson this month, it seemed the right time to mention this new tool by Leisa ReFalo…

Leisa ReFalo is definitely one of us. As she illustrates often [...]

The beauty of a story like this is that few will remember predictions for Portland in 2008 — right, wrong or just plain out [...]

I enjoy all things Tarot, and one of the newest Tarot venues … a venue that I feel is just now coming into its own … is that of Podcasts focused on the Tarot. What is a Podcast? It is an audio recording that can be played through your computer (or downloaded [...]

This works much the same way as the Yes / No system but is used more for decisions that have more than two options.   The best way to explain it is through an example:
Someone comes in and asks about a decision with several different options.  Let’s say that they have a career decision to [...]

I brought my borderless Thoth to the Study group on Sunday. It hadn’t occurred to me to do it to my Universal Waite until Linda suggested it. There were some questions on the tools to do it. This is what I used.

Tarot is a somewhat remarkable thing. I find myself marveling at it’s beauty, and entrenched in it’s symbolism. But Tarot has also given me something else, too. It has made me really understand that there is a unique quality to Tarot that goes beyond the 78 cards. It has given me a sense of hope [...]

Today I cut the borders off of my Large Thoth tarot. I ordered it from Amazon and never bonded with it. The pictures looked nice but it was ungainly and too large to shuffle. I was trying to order the medium sized Thoth not the jumbo. ISBN 0-913866-15-16
was listening to Tarot to Go and they [...]

I am always intrigued by the concept of gate cards. Gate cards, as they are referred to in Rachael Pollack’s book “Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom” are cards that lend themselves more easily than others to the process of active visualization, or “entering the card” in your mind. This type of exercise can provide deeper levels [...]

I’d like to take a few moments to talk about my favorite aspect of Tarot, the one thing that keeps me completely dedicated to the cards. Yes, they can be used for divination and can be used lightheartedly or seriously, depending on the situation. They are fun to work with, and fun to collect. But [...]

My personal use of Tarot tends to fall mainly within the self-development category. I’m always studying the symbolism from my various decks, looking for new insights. One day I discovered an exercise that inspired me so much that I wanted to share it, and I hope you find as much value in it as I [...]

You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that [...]

TJ Mckeown wrote in with a very interesting approach to Yes/No Questions.
I wanted to send a system for Yes/No questions(I’m not sure if you would call it a spread). It requires knowledge of the Major Arcana and their order. After shuffling the deck you answer the question by dealing the cards in a pile as [...]
