Greek Mythology Reading Cards by Allison Chester-Lambert Illustrations by Richard Crookes 112 Cards I have many, many decks of Tarot and Oracle cards and am always on the look-out for those that will enable the reader to connect in their own style using imagery that resonates with their spiritual practice and philosophies. The Greek Mythology Reading Cards fill those criteria very nicely; offering a visual that most people know a bit about, regardless of religious or spiritual practice. To clarify, these cards fit in the category of oracle cards, rather than Tarot. I’ve been asked when teaching what the difference is and by way of brief explanation, oracle cards fit…

Meet the Gods: Chernobog (“Day and Night (Belobog and Chernobog) by Maxim Sukharev) Merry meet. This time of the waning year is the time of the dark gods, who balance the gods of the light during the waxing year. Slavic god Belobog is the “White God,” with his sunshine that brings life. He is prayed to for a plentiful harvest, and for a light that guides through dark times and places. Belobog appears only during daylight, wearing a white robe and holding a staff. He brings good things to those he meets. Belobog’s brother is Chernobog, the equally powerful god of the dark who rules the night, and is associated…

The Wind Came at Night   In the days of chilling blaze Springtime sun as winter fades Dazzling spears and green grass blades The gale the only blight. Driving out to picnics gay February turning into May Hearts and smiles throughout the day But the wind came at night.   Batten hatch and throw the catch Draw the curtains and the latch Find the candle; light a match Glow ghostly and white. Lights to ward off what’s outside Whatever feral monsters ride Abroad; their entrance is denied Though the wind comes at night.   I saw a face outside my place Swiftly passed, as in a race I blinked and…

Three of Wands (The Three of Wands card is from the artist Ciro Marchetti http://www.ciromarchetti.com/)** We have already talked about the Three of Cups, the Three of Swords and the Three of Pentacles, so this month we will examine the Three of Wands. This is a Minor Arcana card so we know right away that the message offered by this card will most likely be more immediate in nature, or will most likely be connected to more day-to-day issues. The easiest way to get a decent understanding of a Minor Arcana card is to examine its number, or in the case of Court Cards, its rank, and to examine its…

In Focus Palmistry Your Personal Guide by Roberta Vernon © Zambezi Publishing Ltd. First published in 2018 by Wellfleet Press an imprint of the Quarto group page count 160 Ms. Vernon has written a very interesting book on palmistry\and reading. This is the subject, that honestly, I have enough knowledge on to fill a thimble. So for me, this book was really interesting. Ms. Vernon talks about looking at the whole hand when doing a palm reading. I like the way Ms. Vernon breaks this book down, she has a chapter for fingers, thumbs, the lines, mounds, and marks, colors, and warts. The writing of the book helps you to…

Seemingly random, a Facebook group called “Fierce Heart” came to my attention. Knowing nothing about it, but loving the name, I went to take a peek. As a Women’s Empowerment Coach and Red Tent Priestess, I promptly joined, very much in tune with their goals. Paraphrasing the description found at the group, Fierce Heart is all about this: A collective group of women across US using drumming/chanting/singing/noise, expressing their anger/dismay/outrage/disgust, taking power, demanding change. A way to express anger and grief. Galvanize women and provide a way for them to channel that power and remember that they are a force of nature, something that we always, always forget. “Bring your…

  Autumn Smudge Bundle with Gemstones Hello, I’m Norma with Forevrgoddess Boutique, I wanted to share some info on Smudging herbs, gemstones and smudge rituals.  I don’t know about you, but the first day of September feels magickal, with apples and pumpkins abundantly everywhere.  I think it’s the perfect time to do an Autumn ritual smudging to cleanse home, sacred space or people, to remove negative or stale energy, banish and release emotions, illness, and other energy needing to be removed from home or person, to prepare for the coming of the Autumn Equinox & Samhain. You might have seen a few smudging herb bundles in new age stores, witch shops…
