THE HANGED MAN The Hanged Man card depicts Odin, hanging on the great world tree Yggdrasil from Norse mythology, which has its branches in Asgard, the upperworld, its trunk in the middle realm or E…| Hearth Witchery
KNIGHT OF CUPS The card depicts a serene knight on a calm white horse. He is the god Osiris. The Egyptians called him the Lord of Love and the Good Shepherd. He came to earth to show mankind how to live with law and morality, how to worship the Gods and grow grain. He ruled … Continue reading "This Week’s Reading (19 August 25)"| Hearth Witchery

This spring, I had a chance to sit down with JoAnna Farrer of The Coffee & Divination podcast for a lovely, wide-ranging conversation. We cover a lot of ground: tarot, divination, reconstruction of seidr, oracular work in general, Pagan community, and more. Check it out at one of the links below!

We all know dominoes as a game…click-clacking them on the table, building little towers we know we’ll knock over on purpose. But what if I told you those very same dominoes can do more than entertain? They can also whisper a little guidance into your life if you know how to listen. I’m talking about […] The post Domino Divination: Reading Between the Dots appeared first on Tarot Teachings.| Tarot Teachings
I’ve been doing something different lately. I shared a couple of videos of my spirit sessions with some somewhat known figures. (If you’re not into that kind of thing, feel free to exit.) When I started recording myself doing these readings, I had no intention of sharing them. I still don’t intend to share all […]| Life in a Few Words
For my divination altar, I use a blue and gold cloth that I wove. For the Sacred Fire, I have a candle burner. I use an abalone shell for offerings and to burn incense in. For divining, I have thre…| Neptune's Dolphins

Apart from my longstanding interest in tarot, I've also been working for sometime with the cartomancy system named after Marie Anne Lenormand, the celebrity fortune teller of the Napoleonic Era and personal sybil to the Emperor himself.| Sacred Tarot
Facilitating a tarot workshop is daunting and exciting in equal measures. It's always good to share something so close to my heart and in presenting my personal take on the Tarot, I'm also sharing a large part of my own inner journey. That said, it's also nerve wracking to stand in front of a group of potential strangers in the hope that what you have to offer will be worthwhile to them. | Sacred Tarot

As I write this, we are a few days away from giving our first Sacred Tarot Workshop in London (6th June), and the choice of card for this blog entry is important to us both. The Queen of Pentacles is of great significance to myself but especially to Petronella, who identifies personally with her. Furthermore, this Queen and Mother of Earth has been our guiding principle as we've put together our Sacred Tarot collaboration and planned this first workshop. I knew last week I would blog about he...| Sacred Tarot
Strength has always been one of the more enigmatic cards of the Major Arcana sequence for me and across the ages of Tarot history it has assumed a number of guises. In one of the earliest decks, a man is shown violently subduing a lion with a club. By contrast, another early deck depicts a female figure carrying a broken stone pillar, allying the card more closely with the cardinal virtue of Fortitude.| Sacred Tarot

My phone rang the other night and to my surprise, I heard the voice of a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. If I'm really honest, my first response was a trifle indignant, my inner tape recorder telling me I'd been picked up, then dropped and was now being picked up again for whatever reason.| Sacred Tarot
Until recently, I've hardly used reversals in my tarot activities, preferring instead to consider the light and shadow aspects of each card as they appear. Over recent weeks however, I've been fortunate enough to learn a little of the Enneagram system of personality classification and my attitude towards reversals has begun to change, particularly where the court cards are concerned.| Sacred Tarot
My grandfather, I’ve been told, was something of a magician. At any rate, he left behind him a substantial collection of occult books. Unfortunately, I never saw this collection: when he died, my parents (not from any motive of disapproval, but simply because they were tired, and had had enough of dealing with his possessions) […]| Grevel Lindop
Patterns exist throughout nature. For people ages ago, such things were considered messages from the gods. Decoding these encrypted communications was at the heart of ancient divination, a common practice of early civilizations. Divination methods in antiquity varied in scope. Nearly anything could be viewed as an expression of divine will and available for interpretation, […]| A-wing and A-way
