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 …
The Power of the “F” Word
I had a client here the other day who, before we even started the reading, spent a solid 15 minutes railing about all the injustices done to her by her dead father. Then she switched gears and bitched about the years of verbal abuse she’d gotten from her ex husband. These two guys had given …
How Your Future Shows Up
So I’m laying out the cards, and I see a change coming. A new job, new lover, a shift in living situation. Something awesome and positive. But then the client leans across the table and starts reciting how they expect their new lover, new job, new fill-in-the-blank to appear. “Well, I know someone who knows …
The Souls of 9/11
I live just outside of New York City, so September 11th is always a somber day. Everyone has their memories of where they were or they know someone who lost someone. I have those, too. But it’s something that happened in the aftermath that has most stayed with me. Shortly after that awful day, I …
Spirit Guides, Angels and Your Nana
“Is my dead grandmother/father/beagle my guardian angel?” I get this question a lot during a session. And the answer is… Kinda sorta. Basically, we have three kinds of spirit entities around us: spirit guides, angels and those who’ve crossed over. At different times, and in different ways, they are there for us. Let me break …
Should Psychics Charge Money?
It happened again. I’m scanning my morning Yahoo headlines and see that a Florida psychic is on trial for scamming her clients out of — wait for it — something like 25 MILLION (with a “mill”) American dollars. She managed to get otherwise intelligent folks to hand over gold, jewelry and cash, all in the …
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, …
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 …
