Pendulums are one of the most fun divination tools ever. At the New Age store that I once worked at, we’d play with the display models during slow afternoons. Always a hoot. Pendulums are a great way to get a quick “yes” or “no” answers. And you get a real experience of the physical energy …

Spiritual Lessons from Netflix
You know those binge viewing sessions you go on from time to time? Like when I watched all three seasons of Downton Abbey in one weekend (my ass still hasn’t quite woken up from that marathon)? Well, when you’re needing a shot of something spiritual on a rainy weekend, here are my picks. MADE IN …
How To Connect With The Dead
By a certain age, we’ve all acquired a few things: a credit rating, a droopier ass, an inability to remember why we came into the room. We’ve also acquired more than a passing familiarity with death and the loss of special people. Like that droopy ass, this is something we’d rather not have to deal …
How to Choose A Tarot Deck
One of my clients asked me the other day about working with the Tarot. She had taken a class once, but admitted that she felt overwhelmed with the deck she had been given to use and wondered if she should try another. The answer is “yes.” Tarot is a very deep subject, but letting …
Death — It Ain’t What You Think
My best friend lost her father this week. I stopped in to give her a hug, and over coffee, she shared her story. One of the things she was struck by was how fast he went, shortly after entering the hospital. She said it was like he had made the decision to leave and had …
How to Do An Instant Tarot Reading
The Tarot has been around for centuries; judging from the amount of info about it, no shocker there. For that reason, learning this ancient art can be off-putting to the newbie. So much to take in: meanings, reversals, context, spreads. It’s enough to send you running for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and a …
Psychic Health & Protection
Being a psychic is humbling, exciting, eye-opening, cool and inspiring. It can also kick your ass. They don’t call us “sensitives” for nothing: psychic or mediumistic work requires a shift in your personal energy that leaves you “open” to both the good vibes and the bad. When I read, I can feel my client’s joy, …
5 Must-Have Spiritual Stones
I first got turned on to crystals back in the 80s (didn’t we all?). At one point, they were everywhere in my tiny apartment. My roommate would just roll his eyes when he saw another added to the collection. I was about 4 stones away from officially being declared a hoarder. All these years later, …
Taking Care of Tarot Cards
My first Tarot deck is celebrating a birthday: 27 years ago this month I got them and spent a happy summer learning all about this wonderful art. This deck — a Rider-Waite, for those who are interested — has been through a lot –A LOOOOOTTTTT — of readings since then. I’ve picked up other decks …
Animals On the Other Side
Losing a pet is one of the worst — the WORST — things ever. I’ve had clients cry more over a lost animal friend than the loss of a parent. There’s something about our critters that touches us on a very deep level, and I totally get the emotions. So a big box of Kleenex …
