So I pulled this card today from my Angel Deck: Like many of us, I love the idea of “manifesting” what we want. It feels like “magic.” Just say something like “Abracadabra!” and presto, what we want shows up. But I’ve been thinking about it. It is both “easy” and “not so easy.” The “easy” …

Deer, Deer: Symbolism of the Deer
I love deer. My neighbors may complain that they eat everything in the yard, but I don’t care. No matter how often I see them nibbling in the dusk light, I hold my breath with wonder. The other night, I was blessed to have them respond to my invitation to eat the corn I placed …
Seven Things to Do In a “7” Year
There’s something about the number “7.” Lucky seven, the seven seas, Dance of the Seven Veils, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers….you get the drift. Seven has some righteous energy. Traditionally, “7” is the number of wisdom, of the mystic and the magician. According to numerology, it’s the number driving this brand new year, 2014. Not …
The Season of Light
One of my favorite movies of the holiday season is almost any version of A Christmas Carol. Dickens wrote the story of Scrooge as an indictment of the greed and heartlessness he witnessed firsthand in Victorian England. Scrooge is the ultimate hard case, selfish, materialistic and cold to the core. But despite the titanium-like armor …
Simple Moon Spells
My given name is “Cynthia.” Which I’ve always hated. The family story goes that my sister picked it out of a baby name book ‘cause she thought it “sounded funny” (bitch). But my parents liked it and I was stuck with it. That’s what sucks about being a newborn – no say in anything. Anyhoo, …
Magical Driving Tips
I live just outside of New York City, where driving is a ninja-skill. Crazed commuters on the West Side Highway, distracted moms in mini-vans, stressed- out shoppers in mall parking lots; trust me, this is Driver’s Ed on steroids. So I take certain steps to ensure that I’m not unneccesarily sideswiped by some idiot in …
Grow Some Magic: Planting A Spiritual Garden
Winter has had a white-knuckled grip on us this year, hasn’t it? My sister in Minneapolis reports more snow….in mid-April. But here in New Jersey, I can FINALLY see things starting to pop up and I’m making my list of magical plants to add to my garden this year. Lavender is one of my favorite …
The Psychic’s Guide to Handling Pains In the Ass
Let’s face it: no matter how spiritual you try to be, at some point, you will encounter people who are — to put it bluntly — pains in the ass. They push your buttons, work your last nerve, make you want to punch something. They can be a co-worker, neighbor, boss, family member, client. They …
Extreme Makeover: Life Edition
There are tons of “do it yourself”-er shows on TV these days, where experts are making over homes, restaurants, relationships, bad hair — whatever. And this is the Tarot card that sums up all that creative energy. The Magician is the card of the entrepreneur or, for that matter, anyone who wants to give something …
Psychic Encyclopedia: The Trickster
I just learned about something called “The Trickster.” Not to be confused with T-Rex, Jeepster (love this song). The Trickster is just what it sounds like: an entity with a slightly warped sense of humor. Your keys go missing, your reading glasses vanish, your checkbook was JUST THERE and it disappears. Some of it may …
