Have you ever had a tarot reading done? If so, what  did you like or dislike about it? Would you have another done?

Tarot has been steeped in mystery for centuries, dating back to reading playing cards to tell the future. Each suit would represent an element and each number would have its own interpretation into the meaning. Even the colours: red and black had their own representation.

Today’s tarot cards are as varied and unique as individuals. Some people like to stick to the Rider-Waite decks as they are basic and the best to learn on when just starting. Others like to try other decks, including Animal Tarot, Celtic Cards, the list goes ever  on.

I collect decks. I have about 10 decks of different sorts right now. I like to see the artist’s interpretations on what each card represents.

Today’s tarot readers do not necessarily use tarot for “fortune telling”. Tarot can give insight into where a person’s been, where they’re at now and where they’re heading. The cards can bring out repetitive patterns that the client has had in their lives, making them more aware of bad habits, relationships, jobs, etc. It goes beyond simple “Will I marry a tall dark handsome man”or “Will I be rich”.

I get people from all walks of life coming for tarot counseling. The cards connect the reader to a subconscious state of mind, the pictures giving clues into the querent’s life.

When I do readings, I don’t ask for personal items, birthdates, etc. I am not saying those that do are not reliable, just for me personally, I don’t need any of those things. I simply have the person ask their questions and then I read the cards for them.

Remember too that the cards are awareness, not set in stone. I love to see clients’ faces when they see something that perhaps they knew, but didn’t want to face themselves. For example the cards continually show discord with a motherly figure, and the client may say “Wow, that’s true! I don’t get along with my (mom/grandmother/mother in law) and that has affected my relationship with (My family/my spouse/my children/other women).”

I feel tarot can truly be validated as a wonderful form of spiritual direction and counseling. I hope that by going to reputable tarot readers, people will push aside the ideas of parlour tricks and see the tarot as a valuable tool.

During the craziness that comes after the Thanksgiving, please don’t allow yourselves to become so bogged down by the commercialism of the season that you forget about what’s really important: Family and Loved Ones. The focus is so completely off the simplicity and reconnection with family and friends… we have “Black Friday” the most dreaded shopping day of the year. People that are normally known as loving and caring become animalistic and fight over items reduced at ungodly hours of the morning. Shoving, fights, rude chaotic disorder… stepping back and reflecting on this behaviour really saddens me.

I was talking with some friends this past weekend during spiritual classes and brought up the birth of Jesus; how he came from such humble beginnings. Born in a simple manger surrounded by animals. Wise man came from afar to bring him their most treasured items: frankincense, myrrh, gold… following a star, a bright light pointing them toward this manger. I think about how peaceful that night must have been and how shepherds flocked. Jesus brought a gift of hope and light to the world.

What kinds of things do you think you could do to add simplicity to the holiday season? Maybe focusing in on doing things for loved ones instead of gifts of monetary value? Raising our children with these more simplistic ideas will help raise their awareness of what those around them need that goes beyond money. Be kind to a neighbour, bring food or blankets to a local shelter. Send a random Holiday Greetings card to someone from the phone book. Donate time at a nursing home. There is so much talk about “random acts of kindness”… why not let your light shine through this holiday season. It’s contagious!

We now have:

• Sandalwood Incense
• Burnt Orange Patchouli
• Cedarwood Sage
• Cucumber Melon

Handmade soaps in stock.

New options available for purchase: 3 handmade soaps for $10: you can choose from the drop down buy list 3 same-scent bars OR choose the last option: Your Choice. If you choose this option, simply email me the three bars you’d like. Prices in drop down boxes include shipping. What a great way to save!

Remember: Handmade soap has more natural ingredients than store bought soap. Our soaps are made by a family owned business with great work ethics. The highest quality materials, no “melt and pour” methods. Fresh and dried herbs, ethically bought and produced. Soaps are not cut until you order them, then they’re cured for 2 days, and sent to you! (Curing allows the soap to harden a bit so it will last longer.) Soaps last a long time, lather fantastically and fill your senses with wonderful smells, moisturizes skin. What’s not to love? It’s not too late to get these items before Christmas!

Handmade natural soaps are very soft. (Please note that handmade means just that. There is no “melt and pour” process. There is no glycerin in our soap.)  I freshly cut and cure each piece before shipping. When using handmade soaps, there are a few simple things you can do that will help your bar of soap lasting so you get the best value.

1. Rinse all suds off your bar to allow it to dry properly

2. Place soap in a self draining soap dish so it won’t get mushy

3. Allowing your soap to dry will help it last longer, and allow the smell to stay strong

4. Despite what most think, handmade soaps can be used in the shower.  Just remember to allow them to dry  properly (see #2 )
