TAROT VS. NOT REALLY TAROT Tarot is a very complex subject that to properly learn takes a lifetime.  With the hundreds of modern tarot decks out on the market it can be very difficult for a beginner to know what deck to start learning with and how to begin.  The first thing the beginner should know about tarot decks is that there are two fundamental kinds of decks. 1.  Traditional Decks which

In the Imbolc Issue of my newsletter I discussed the site of the Sybil of Cumae who was the primary oracle Priestess of Cumae in Italy. There in her mysterious oracle chamber she sat flanked on her stone throne by her two ferocious dogs. Many of the local coins of the region depict a three headed dog , now known mythically as Cerberus, and scholars believe that Cerberus must have been a very

In the ancient world, Oracular Priestesses were given different titles depending on the oracle temples they served, and the geographical location they served in. The most famous of these Oracles was the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi. The Delphic Priestesses were known as “Pythia” or “Pythoness” referring to the sacred serpent who was said to have lived in the cave nearby at the founding of the

In 1962 a notable discovery was made at Baia in Southern Italy by a budding rebel archeologist named Robert Paget. Robert Paget was an American Naval officer who retired in Baia Italy in 1958. He took up archeology as a hobby. Paget partnered up with another man by the name of Keith Jones, who took an equally obsessive interest in ancient antiquities, and together the two of them set out on a

I used to spend a long time looking for earrings to wear when I was younger, that were long enough for my taste, or that suited my style.  As a consumer I was never entirely happy with the choices at my disposal that were within my price range.  After spending a considerable amount of time around a Native American Indian community and also discovering that I had some Native American in my own

If you have ever awoken in the middle of the dream state and suddenly felt the terrifying inability to move, then you have experienced a very fascinating phenomena called Sleep Paralysis. Sleep Paralysis is officially classified as a sleep disorder which in a large percentage of cases has been known to coexist as an additional component to Narcolepsy. Those who may experience sleep paralysis

As the moon slides into Taurus into Her darkest phase I contemplate my state of mind.  Frustrated, discouraged, and realizing I need some down time for a heart to heart with my inner self.  A descent into the underworld is needed figuratively speaking to find out what blockages are hindering my sense of well being. I have just begun a new journey and a new shift.  Spending a great deal of time

The Death Card is likely the most misunderstood card in all of the tarot deck. So misunderstood in fact there are some psychic readers who will omit the card from the deck altogether when giving readings.   It should not be assumed that this card will represent literal death if it comes up in a reading and much care needs to be given to be sure that a client who experiences a tarot reading

This oracle is dedicated to "Ino-Pasiphae" and was described as a "dream oracle" where people would come to sleep and receive prophetic dreams. It was located by a small stream and allegedly had three statues one of Helios the Sun God, one of Pasiphae and the third I know not what of. The interesting thing here is the tracing of Persephone. Pasiphae as a name has been used interchangeably with

The Winter Solstice marks the time of year which is the shortest and darkest day of the year. According to tropical astrology calculations, the Sun moves into the sign of Capricorn the Goat at zero degrees. This is how the onset of the Solstice is established. It is the time traditionally given to the "Lord of the Hunt" or the Godhead in his darker underworld aspect just before he

As I lay in bed listening to the sounds of rolling thunder and falling rain at 3 PM this morning.... blowing my nose, and coughing, I thought.... tis the season.  After two bouts of bronchitis last year and probably walking pneumonia, I finally took matters into my own hands and went to the trusty alternative health book I have on my shelf.  I learned that if you want to get rid of viral

Salt Circles. Did you know that a copious amount of salt could kill your lawn?   Many of us love to do outdoor rituals and many of us like to do things by the book.  Usually we use salt to cast our circle with.  But when performing ritual outside on your lawn it is actually not recommended to use salt.  Probably a little bit of salt isn't going to hurt anything one time, but if you have a

Over the years I've learned the hard way there are some things you should never do when burning incense or using altar surfaces in general. Imagine, there I am standing at my altar, which happened to be my grandmothers antique table complete with all sorts of lovely carving on the legs and a veneer finish.  What a lovely archaic looking table that would make a fabulous altar, tis true.  And what

It took me several years to realize that I specialized in one particular metaphysical talent.  Lucid dreaming.  Lucid dreaming is a very interesting experience that can lead to all sorts strange subjective sleep phenomena.  But typically speaking if you have the ability to "dream true" or lucid dream, you are well on your way to developing the potential to experience an OBE or "out of body
