Thoughts. Ramblings. Notes on history. A generous sprinkling of tarot.
Writing is always free to access, but your generous support makes this possible!
Notebooks.
This little blog is just a place to keep track of my historical forays, developing tarot practice, thoughts on the craft of writing and teaching, observations, foraging adventures, book reviews, or general notes for myself and friends on various types of practice and little tidbits that catch my eye. Whether you’re just curious or looking for some ideas for your own practices, I hope readers will find something of value!
Ancestral Work: Getting a Second Opinion
When I do ancestral work, I generally use a combination of tarot cards and pendulums for connecting with ancestors. I have one pendulum that I use for working with my own ancestors, and a separate pendulum that I use for working with other people’s. During this reading, my friend’s ancestors gave some advice that struck me as a little “off.” It wasn’t bad, per se, but it reflected something that she has been working through for a while — namely, that several of her ancestors had a lot of earthly power and accrued some karmic debt on account of that power.
Attention as a Blessing
If, as I have said, writing is magic, then it is also true that reading is magic. Writing cannot do its work by itself. That would be like saying that leading a horse to water is the same thing as making it drink.
