Archetype Deep Dives

“Every journey begins with a single step." — Lao Tzu In Tarot, that step belongs to The Fool—innocent, open-hearted, and ready to leap into the unknown. The Beginning is Sacred Starting your Tarot journey can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming. There are 78 cards, centuries of tradition, and a mountain of books, spreads, and symbolism to explore. But here’s the secret: you don’t need to know everything to begin.  You just need curiosity, a deck, and a willingness to list

There’s a pause that happens—maybe even a flinch—when The Tower shows up in a tarot reading. You know the one. Lightning strikes a burning structure, people tumble from its heights, and the sky behind it all is dark and foreboding. It’s one of those  cards. The ones we hope won’t appear. The ones that make our stomach drop. But what if I told you The Tower isn’t a punishment? What if this card is actually an initiation? Let’s unravel the myth of The Tower and look deeper into

Every Tarot reader has a deck that sneaks its way into the practice—not because it was planned, but because it revealed itself  as necessary. That’s how it happened for me with Caroline Myss’s Archetype Cards . At first, I treated it as a study tool.

And who, or what, was I really talking to? These are the kinds of questions I bring to Tarot-based Dream Coaching —a practice that pairs intuitive card work with symb

In a world that celebrates hustle and constant motion, the idea of pausing—truly pausing—can feel radical. Yet within the Tarot, there’s an often-overlooked invitation to rest, reflect, and realign. Not every card points to action or epiphany. Some whisper, "Wait. Breathe. Be." One such card is The Hanged One  (or Hanged Man, depending on your deck).

Spring is a season of stirring—of roots shifting, dreams blooming, and half-formed ideas pushing toward the light. And while the outer world hums with the first full notes of new life, the inner world begins its own subtle awakening. In April, as we move through transitional lunar phases, there’s a liminal quality in the air that invites us to listen more closely to our dreams—not just what they say, but who they come from. When I talk about dreams, I’m not only referring to

Spring Equinox Reflections with Tarot Traveler As the sun crosses the celestial equator, day and night find perfect balance. The Spring Equinox—known as Ostara  in pagan traditions—is a threshold moment: nature stirs, shoots of green break through the soil, and the air carries the promise of rebirth. In Tarot, few cards echo the essence of spring as richly as The Empress . She is the fertile ground from which life blooms, the pulse of beauty, sensuality, and creative power. Y
