The Moon Card from Dark Wood Tarot Today is the March’s New Moon. Feeling a little weird? Yeah, me too. It’s not like you were ever normal to begin with. But this?

No companion book is in the works at the moment other than the little white book that comes with the deck. I’m happy to share the inspiration of how this tarot came to be. My Italian editor was suggesting I make a tarot. I argued there were enough decks on the market. He said, “Sasha, you cannot truly know tarot until the archetypes spring out of you.” His words haunted me. I was

Last night before bed … “Those antsy moments, the hollow spaces engulfed with desire, with yearning, when you want something that’s not there. You don’t even know what you want – but you are ready to fill yourself up with anything … is exactly where to pause … stop. Don’t reach for that bottle. Don’t send that message. Don’t fill the uncomfortableness with anything other than presence. If you do, if you sit with yourself and observe and feel without acting … the world will d

Tarot and yoga can be seamlessly intertwined and become a powerful force of transformation and evolution. 1. Intuition & Answers: Tarot and Yoga are practices that quiet the mind. The tarotist center herself so she can focus on the messages coming through the cards while the yogi focuses on her breath and brings attention inside the body. Both activities bring us into a state of higher listening and help us become the active observer of our present experience. Doing so allows

Tomato, lilacs and glass jar on the sill. I place rosy tomatoes on my window sill because it’s what my grandmother Mimi always did. Tomatoes, like bananas, ripen better in the dark, but nothing is lovelier than a pop of red in summer haze. And Mimi liked things to look beautiful. Illustration and poem by Pamela Colman Smith for The Broadsheet. The Six of Cups is the nostalgia card. My grandmother’s home is evoked each time I spy tomatoes in sunlight, smell smokey bacon cookin

What are you dreaming about? Never doubt the power of your intentions! Once upon a time, my tarot teacher, Wald Amberstone of the Tarot School, told me a story about a woman who traveled all over the world with her tarot cards (my dream).

Since them, I’ve flown on the wings of 78 cards to London, Paris, Turin and recently

Is it just me or is this Spring wielding a wild, wicked energy? Raven’s Prophecy Tarot by Maggie Stiefvater The sun pops out like an illicit kiss warming your body. “Yessss,” you sigh under your breath, giving all of yourself to the solar brilliance, letting it have its way with you, only to open your eyes and find snow swirling at your feet.

What is a Tarot Card a Day? A Card a Day Tarot is a standard and enjoyable practice for many cartomancers. A Card a Day is setting aside about five minutes each morning to quiet your mind and pull a random Tarot card. The information you gather from the card can be used for contemplation, a head’s up for the day’s energy, a possibility to reflect upon or anything you like. I’ve been doing it every morning for more than ten years and always look forward to it. It’s usually per
