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…

However, we’ve pulled together some tips and advice to offer guidance with this important choice of divination tool.

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…

Cody’s Column: Using Divination Tools with the Land
April is such a bouquet of emotions, thoughts and experiences here on the farm. Big projects we laid out in the winter are being realized. New projects are coming to light. The forest is waking up and so are the weeds! Many of them are medicinal, I am thinking about the hedge deadnettle, which should be called Purple Dragon’s Breath. This plant wakes up around the time bumble bee queens rise from their slumber and begin the search for a mate and early food to support her soon to be colony. There are so many signs of Spring, it is a wonder to me how many times we miss…

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…

Cody’s Column: Working With Land and Animal Spirits
It is eclipse night, and the rain is pouring down. I won’t get to see the eclipse, but I will feel it. I have been feeling it in the land and animal spirits that live here along the Magic Skagit River. The ravens who have been visiting again, the elk all standing in a line alongside the road, two eagles perched on a branch chattering with each other, circles of water rippling on the river, nettles peeking up off the forest floor, Indian Plum flowers blooming, and of course the iconic daffodils blooming in the Skagit Valley. Tonight, I write to you about being receptive to these spirits. For some…
