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.

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 is not how it feels when we are 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.
