So, I’ve been reading TAROT cards now. OOOoooOOOoooOOO! Aren’t I BRAVE! And, aren’t I DARK! And, shouldn’t you all be AFRAID very AFRAID.
Oh. You still here?
No. Seriously. The tarot are NOT what people think they are — at least if you use them like I do. If you use them like I do, they can be your best friend, and a very effective, beautiful tool for meditation, self-exploration and -discovery. And, they can be a lot of fun. INDEED, they were created, as far as we know, for fun — as a game in the 16th-century Italian court.

So, I guess I can now tell you what I was doing in Chi-Chi-ville, in my Lulus, that day in September…. I was having a PRIVATE tarot reading class by THE Lisa Marvin (you may have seen her on MTV Canada) — a birthday gift from Josh-O, believe it or not! Lisa is awesome, and it was a lot of fun.
Now, I’m continuing my lessons with my brillers friend Lyn from Wizard and Witch. She’s the sweetest person, and she does the most illuminating and insightful readings. She has an enthusiasm and love for the cards that really inspires me. AND WE HAVE A HALLOWEEN CONTEST GOING ON OVER AT GOODIES THAT YOU MUST CHECK. It’s ALLLLLL GOOOOOOD!
One of these days, I’ll be offering readings myself. I just want to make sure I know what I’m doing. I’ll know when the time is right. I know my style of reading will be healing — in line with the yoga I teach and practice — identifying goals, dreams, obstacles, and best courses of action for a beautiful future…. Kind of like spiritual coaching.
I know it’s a little unconventional. But, the cards have really added elements of enchantment, self-trust and understanding to my life. It’s amazing, beautiful.
In the meantime, SOMEBODY’S WALKING…!!!

Sure, he needs a little help…. I give him A WEEK before he’s walking on his own. That’s not the cards talking. That’s mother’s intuition…. LOVE!
xo Haley-O!
Now, go check GOODIES to enter our exciting Halloween CONTEST!

I’ve only had mine read once, and it was some time ago. Can you do that via e-mail?

Absolutely, Tuggy! Great question. You can do it by email, phone, in person…. It’s a little more challenging via email because you can’t get immediate feedback. But, it can also be really great that way — objective.
It’s all about synchronicity. Like, I pull the cards for you? They’re for YOU! And, we draw what we can from them. And, it should be, I believe, always a positive experience.
Lyn did a 3-card reading for me by email, and it was FABULOUS. Sooo bang-on.

This post made me howl with laughter at the opening. Thank you for a really well done post on what the Tarot does so well. And that’s a cute baby in that picture. My niece just turned 7 but I do remember her at that age.

Yay for Rascal! Julia too is moments away from taking off. She’ll take 8 or 9 steps and then collapse, it’s so funny to watch. Any day now she’ll be officially walking! Very exciting times.

I’ll admit it!! I enjoy a good reading now and again…as long as it’s in my favour!

I’ve never had the traditional tarot cards, but I do have angel cards and mermaid cards made by Doreen Virtue, and animal spirit guide cards by Steven Farmer. If nothing else, they’re fun to look at and have inspirational messages!

That is super cool, the tarot reading. I’ve never had one done, but if you need someone to try it on, I’m game.
The rascal looks soooooo cute with his cart.
