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, …

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 …
Beating the Fear Monster
I’ve been thinking a lot about Fear. I’m going through some things right now that have me living with a sense of worry, pretty much all the time. That’s what moving forward will do to you. The wise ones tell us to remember that we are safe at all times, that we are bigger …
Led Zeppelin and the Tarot
People who know me will tell you that I luuuuurve Led Zeppelin. I am convinced that one day, I will somehow, some way, meet and marry Jimmy Page. But in the meantime, I love how he injects himself into another passion of mine, the Tarot. Check out this segment from their awesome concert movie, …
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 …
Don’t Fear the Reader
She leaned across the table and said, “I had you come here this afternoon while he’s not here, because he thinks this stuff is like black magic….” (Sigh) Man, if I had a dime for every time I’ve heard that psychics are spawns of the devil, I’d be writing this from a beach In Turks …
Sandy — And What She Left Behind
It was about a week ago that I woke up and realized that my house was still standing after Hurricane Sandy. The days prior to it were a blur of stocking up on food, batteries, gasoline; taking down all my windchimes (I have a LOT of windchimes) and birdfeeders — and generally gazing at the …
A Reading for A Real Housewife
I love the Real Housewives of New Jersey. It’s like watching 7th grade all over again, only with better clothes, bigger earrings and more cussing. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what they’re all worked up over every week, but I guess that’s the job of reality TV. We fans know that …
Back-To-School….and Fearless
My great-niece, Ella Ruby, starts 2nd grade today. She is totally chuffed, excited about her new teacher, backpack and classroom. She doesn’t care that she knows nothing about 2nd grade math– she just plans to tackle it and get as many gold stars as she can grab. There’s something wonderful about a 7 year old’s …
Drag Queens and The Devil
I’m obsessed with drag queens. I love them. RuPaul’s Drag Race is my not-so-guilty pleasure, and To Wong Foo is one of my favorite movies. Now what could a middle-aged Methodist from a small town who personally prefers Land’s End over Louboutins find in this world of sequins, wigs and general diva-liciousness? I think it …
