Hi Vicky,
Good question. I think that ultimately, we all need to be able to read for ourselves. When I’m upset or very emotional, it’s hard for me to make heads or tails of what I am seeing. If I have a big decision to make or I feel there is something I [...]

It’s hard to talk about Tarot without Aleister Crowley coming up in the conversation somewhere. Crowley created a philosopy known as ‘Thelema’ and central to it are the Thelemic ‘deities’, Nuit, Hadit and their ‘child’ Ra Hoor Khuit.

A question I am often asked is “Which is the best book on Tarot to get?”. There’s not really one book that is the best, or even the most comprehensive. I have about 40 books on Tarot in my collection, as well as books on alchemy, qabalah, symbolism, mythology, psychic development and astrology.
Anything [...]

Someone recently left a comment and I deleted it along with a bunch of spam - sorry, whoever you were!
The person said that I did a reading for them some time ago and a number of things I had predicted had occurred, but two things hadn’t - specifically a relationship and a change in her [...]
