Tarot with Lady Saoirse: Celebrate Your Unexpected Blessings
Celebrate Your Unexpected Blessings By Lady Saoirse Bright Blessings, The Autumnal Equinox season is upon us, which has never been a big Sabbat for me…and I know why. Back in the times of our ancestors, it was a type of thanksgiving celebration. In the United States, Thanksgiving comes after Samhain, so after so many years of doing a thankfulness holiday that late in the year, why would I start having one in September? Well, my husband is a Christian, and LOVES turkey day as much as his Christmas, so I’m not rerouting that holiday- but in the past few years, a true thankfulness holiday means so much more…

Do You Want to Read for the Public? Tarot with Lady Saoirse
Bright Blessings, My darlings, I have a very serious question for you as you walk your path of being a Tarot reader. Do you want to read for the public? Because not everybody does. Currently I am enjoying the peace of a sabbatical from doing so. As a matter of fact, I’m enjoying this so much, I don’t know when or if I am going to do so again. Why? Because I just don’t know if I want to do it anymore. I spoke with one of my magical brothers this past weekend. He flat out said he won’t do it. I know him to be one hell of…

What Do You Need Tarot with Lady Saoirse
What Do You Need Tarot with Lady Saoirse By Lady Saoirse Bright Blessings, By now, you will have gotten acquainted with your Tarot and Oracle cards, got comfortable with reading from them, and after a while, you will be called upon to read for others. Trust me, if it hasn’t happened yet, it will. It will take you some time to gain confidence when you read for people. It can be nerve wracking to be watched, especially if you aren’t used to it. You may worry that they think you are wrong, and worry you gave the wrong advice. Note- don’t give other people advice until you are sure…

Start the Fire Again- For Tarot with Lady Saoirse
Start The Fire Again By Lady Saoirse Bright Blessings, The Summer Solstice is almost upon us, and the time is celebrated with outdoor gatherings, basking in the glorious rays of the invincible sun! Festivals, Sabbats, Dinners, Barbeques in the park, trips, and things like swimming, are ways we gather with people, enjoying the seemingly new life the hot days bring. With the cold, dark days of winter behind us, we celebrate all things that bring us joy in life and we reach out to share these good times with the people who we love. For some people, it’s not so simple. Illness, crazy work schedules, limited finances, or family responsibilities…

When a New Answer Comes Up for Tarot with Lady Saoirse
Bright Blessings, Don’t you love it when somebody asks you a specific question in a Tarot reading, and you start getting information to answer a completely different issue? I’ve had this come up for me when people were asking about romance especially. The people who are asking about a new person who doesn’t seem to be interested in them or isn’t’ putting time into the relationship tend to have underlying issues that draw them to people that ignore them. It’s hard to admit to yourself that someone isn’t interested in you when you’re so crazy about them and I’d say at least 20% of the readings that I give…

Are We All the Same?- Tarot with Lady Saoirse
By Lady Saoirse Bright Blessings, Recently I had an ugly wakeup and reality check. I realize I should have realized this a long time ago! Whether this is doing or getting a reading, or not, this lesson holds true in our pagan communities. A backstory first. In 2004, I had a terrible health scare. At the time, I had not converted to Paganism yet, although I had left Catholicism. I had been attending an Apostolic church for close to a year when I fell ill. The assistant pastor and another man in the congregation had taken me to task just before I got sick. It happened when the assistant…

When Your Client Wants to Argue- Tarot with Lady Saoirse
When Your Client Wants to Argue By Lady Saoirse For PaganPages,org Bright Blessings, The longer you do divination, the more people you will do readings for.

They might feel lost, and any insight you provide will be valued and used well. You may get people who come to you again and again, thankful they have found a trusted advisor who helps guide them. These are the people who you look forward to seeing. They are the ones who you do this for. They are the people who you…

Tarot with Lady Saoirse- Reader Ethics- How Personal Should You Get?
Bright Blessings, Something interesting came up recently that I wanted to discuss with you, especially those of you who are readers. In our communities where we read for people, quite often we get what can be called “Frequent Flyers”- those people who come to us often. Not only do they come into our personal workspaces, but they’re typically a part of the greater Pagan or Psychic community that we belong to. We will see them at Sabbat celebrations, festivals, and at the shops. We will have some of the same friends as them, we may even date some of the same people. So, it is completely understandable that you will…

Tarot with Lady Saoirse-Divination Without Tools?
Bright Blessings, I know this is Tarot column, but not everybody who does readings uses cards. There are pendulums, Ouija boards, automatic writing, Runes, scrying mirrors, and all sorts of things used in divination. Some people don’t use any tools at all, as a matter of fact. I would never have believed that was possible unless I had seen it. Now, I read energy in my readings. I ask people to open themselves and let me use some of their energy to read for them. A lot of people are very good at doing that for me and readings are easy for me because of that. The cards and runes…

Tarot with Lady Saoirse- When You Decline a Client
Tarot with Lady Saoirse- When You Decline a Client By Lady Saoirse Bright Blessings, All those of you who do readings for other people, I want to talk about something. What do you do when you don’t want a particular client? You know the type.

Then there is the one who wants to replace mental health care with a Tarot reading. Then there is the one who wants you to tell them all the things their ex is doing,…
