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…

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…

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…
