    Tarot with Lady Saoirse

    Yule 2023 Bright Blessings! As Yule approaches, you might be thinking of which decks you would like to buy to give to loved ones as gifts- and you might be thinking of which decks you hope to get as Yule gifts yourself! Instead of focusing on cards this time, let’s set them aside and discuss the runes. Yule, is after all, named after Odin, and Odin was the one who gave mankind the runes. Some people say the runes are just letters of the alphabet some smart Heathen incorporated into a new form of divination at some point. Others say that Odin intended the runes for people to use to…

    Tarot with Lady Saoirse

    For Samhain 2023 Bright Blessings, I write this as we are about to begin another week where the days get over 90 degrees here in Central Ohio. This shit was all supposed to be over with last month, but we got hit with more heat. It could be worse. Hurricane weather hit Florida, and affected the sea island areas nearby, and people have lost homes. Wildfires have raged in Canada, blanketing other countries in dangerous smoke, and Hawaii is grieving the burning of Lahaina. The earth is burning, and I am one of the people who believes human beings are to blame. Some people say that as you get older,…

    Book Review – Finding the Fool: A Tarot Journey to Radical Transformation by Meg Jones Wall

    Book Review Finding the Fool: A Tarot Journey to Radical Transformation by Meg Jones Wall Publisher: Weiser Books 286 Pages Release Date: May 2, 2023         As an avid tarot card reader and collector, I was very happy to jump on the chance to read and review this book. I really enjoyed the Foreword, which is something not a lot of books I have read have, so I was very curious, and was not disappointed. I really enjoyed reading Theresa Reed’s story and experience with this book and her clear admiration for the author Meg Jones Wall. Finding the Fool is not your traditional “book about tarot”,…

    Tarot with Lady Saoirse

    Mabon 2023   Bright Blessings! The last article was all about great questions to ask your reader and what you can learn from such wise questions. So it only makes sense for this article to discuss questions that are not the best things to ask. Experienced readers have lists of their most annoying reading clients and the questions they hate most of all. We don’t sit around and meet about those things, though. I have my own list of things that just don’t get good answers from me at least, but my Priest used to give readings, and he would laugh about ONE particular type of reading he got sick…

    Tarot with Lady Saoirse

    Lughnasadh 2023   Bright Blessings! If you are reading this column, chances are, you have been to a psychic reader before, or you are looking into going soon. Some people do a regularly scheduled reading with a trusted reader to have good guidance for their decision making on a regular basis, and other people see readers whenever they feel like they should. Some people say the worst time to see a reader is when you are in the middle of a crisis or emotional meltdown, but sometimes, those are the times you need the support of a psychic most. Regardless of when or why you are seeing a psychic, there…

    Tarot with Lady Saoirse

    Tarot with Lady Saoirse Litha 2023     Bright Blessings! In the last article, I had some tips for reading tarot, and how talent is required. No matter how much you read and how many classes you take, if you are not intuitive, doing psychic readings is not something you will excel at. So that brings us to a question then. How do you get a tarot reading from somebody else? You would think all you had to do is pick a random reader, then pay them, and everything else would be perfect. Sometimes, it works out that way, but sometimes it doesn’t. There are a lot of reasons that…

    Book Review – A Walk Through the Forest of Souls; a Tarot Journey to Spiritual Awakening by Rachel Pollack

    Book Review A Walk Through the Forest of Souls; A Tarot Journey to Spiritual Awakening Written by Rachel Pollack Publisher: Weiser Books 288 Pages Release Date: May 1, 2023       Oftentimes Tarot books are written to give detailed instruction, formal information, and point us readers towards a final destination of comprehension. Rachel Pollack’s book, A Walk through the Forest of Souls exploded those concrete rules and dogmatic disciplines into a multifaceted, multidisciplinary journey of incomprehensible mythological, spiritual, historical, and religious complexities, back into the profound mystery. She guides us through paradoxes and contradictions, dismantling as well as respectfully illuminating all that has been said about the origins and…

Some of you may have read my previous column Celebrating the Old Ways in New Times or my film and tv show reviews on Witch & Popcorn. I decided it was time for something new, and at PaganPages.org we are blessed with plenty of people who do Sabbat articles so I don’t have to do another one. I am beginning a Tarot column this issue. Various different topics will be covered, and there are just so many wonderful things to explore about Tarot and card divination in general. I thought for the first…
