The most common request I receive as a Tarot reader, Witch, and teacher is for help learning the cards or starting a magical practice. I always point them first to meditation and mindfulness.

What could these practices possibly have to do with reading Tarot or casting a circle? Discover why a focused mind is foundational for truly intuitive and esoteric practices.

The Esoteric, the Arcane, the Metaphysical, oh my!

Diving into esoteric topics can sound scary and overwhelming at first. "Is it demonic?" "Will I accidently open a portal?" "Are these practices against my religion?" I've heard it all!

Have you ever tried looking up "What does esoteric mean?" or "What are some esoteric things?" I got you! We'll break these deceptively easy-to-understand terms together.

Love it or hate it, people everywhere are using AI and adopting it as a mainstay in their lives.

But with scrupulous uses and unintentional poor ethics included, how do we begin trusting in anything spiritual or esoteric ever again in the age of AI?

The Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI) has an idea, and I'm completely on board with it!

Ever go researching your curiousity just to hear everyone dismissing it as a "placebo"? Feeling lost after that long-awaited trial concluding that a healing modality success is from the placebo effect?

Join me as we explore what a placebo really is, why "the placebo effect" isn't somthing to dismiss, and the need for healthy approaches to matters of belief, no matter how skeptical you or others may be about it.

What does "spirituality" actually mean? And what does it have to do with Tarot?

If you've ever felt turned off by organized religion but still long for meaning, or if you're skeptical of the pseudoscience flooding the spiritual wellness space, you're not alone.

Here's a grounded definition of spiritual health, what it means to embody your spirituality, and how Tarot—used authentically—supports both.

Spiritual leaders and teachers serve a crucial role in society: addressing our spiritual health, most often by helping us make sense out of the senseless. (Those things that other professionals hit dead-ends on.)

Yet not everyone taking on this role lives by the same set of values and ethics, leaving it up to us to work out who we can trust. In this article, we address the main hallmarks of the trustworthy spiritual guides.

We often think of history as something fixed and far away, but that's not how it feels when we're living through it.

The present can be disorienting, especially when the world around us seems to be changing faster than we can process. This month, we dive into time, perspective, and the challenges of being part of a nation still coming into its own.

Navigating spirituality alone is like navigating physical health alone. It's always better, wiser, and safer to have someone educated, experienced, and qualified to address spiritual health with you.

In Part 1, we looked at the green flags: the observable behaviors that show ethical principles in practice. In Part 2, we’ll examine what happens when those principles are absent, violated, or replaced by control, exploitation, and fabricated authority.

We say we want real. But we seek out the cheapest option available. We say we hate algorthims. Yet we continue feeding them anyway. We say we want authentic psychic experiences. And then turn to AI and apps instead.

How do you find authentic readers when free is the only thing you can afford? This month we're breaking down the nonsense, why we all fall victim to it, and how to break out to find real empowerment on our own terms.

Halloween. Witches. October.

No matter where you live in the world today, these three words feel synonymous. Pop culture would have us believe that we're all supposed to be contacting ghosts and foretelling the future.

But what does Samhain season really tell us? If the veils separating the living and the dead are thin, what other, more practical work is there to do?
