A Tarot Spread for Cheering Yourself Up
Just added to the tarot spread collection!
I've been having so much fun making these spreads for you all. This one comes from a stretch of time when I've needed a little extra tenderness from myself. It's easy to get lost in self-criticism and prickly feelings. Luckily, tarot doesn't just have to be about the future or even concrete action. It's a lovely tool for self-love, connection, and calming.
I hope you enjoy this spread when things get a little tough and find that it directs you back to all the wonderful things about yourself. Click on the photo above for the full rundown.
I have to admit that I’m reluctant to dive into the oversaturated world of “business content.” There’s so much information out there about running & starting your own spiritual business, not to mention the fact that each of us does things differently: What works for me may not resonate with you or even work for you.
We all come to starting our own business from different places and will be operating them under different conditions.
So there’s my little caveat out of the way! I’ll be sharing my insights and experiences about the business side of my tarot life here.
I got a wonderful question on my Instagram announcement about phasing out of reading tarot full-time at Incandescent Tarot:
What advice do you have for people stepping into this role?
It’s time for me to share an important change:
As of January 2020, Incandescent Tarot will no longer be operating as a full-time tarot business.
What does this mean? No more tarot readings, in-person or online, as well as some other changes I’ll outline below.
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling transformed after the Summer Solstice this past week.
And, in case you missed it, I did a special tarot reading looking at the energy and opportunities springing from this time of the year.
Someone once asked me at a dinner party if I acted differently when I read tarot for clients.
It took a minute for that to sink in. Differently? How?
I quickly realized that this lovely person, a math teacher, was wondering if I put on an act for my readings. You know, the classic turban and crystal ball schtick.
I could only laugh.
While teaching a beginner class the other day, I got to thinking about frequency and dedication in tarot.
A question I get often, especially from people just starting out, is how to use tarot in everyday life. And the most common practice by far is a daily draw. I’ve also seen, however, that this practice can get overwhelming fast. Same goes for daily readings.
One of the surprising parts of attending the Readers’ Studio tarot conference this past week was that it involved lots of hands-on tarot practice. During each master class we’d all swap readings with each other, testing out our new techniques.
As a professional tarot reader, I don’t often find myself on the other side of the table. If I need a reading, I’ll often give one to myself (hey, it’s quite convenient!), so it was humbling and eye-opening to be on the receiving end.
Hello, tarot friends! It’s been a whirlwind past few weeks and, as you may have noticed, I’ve been a bit silent here on the blog.
One of those reasons? Lots of travel, and the most exciting journey was to the Readers’ Studio tarot conference this past week.
I can hardly believe that I’ve been maintaining this website and blog going on three years now! What started as a home for my then-new tarot business has become the home to a full catalog of tarot card meanings, over 100 weekly forecasts, and a whole bevy of musings and more.
Do you ever complain about something so often that you catch yourself and wonder, “If I rant on about this so much, why on earth am I still doing it?”
That was me with Facebook and Instagram. Why was I using it? What was I doing on these apps if all it took was one drink to get me to wax poetic about how disconnected, envious, and distracted I felt while using them?
