Tarot Card of the Week: March 28 – April 3
Ten of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: March 28 – April 3The man in this card seems to be going through a tremendous amount of suffering, he doesn’t have just one sword at his back but 10! It appears he is going through some terrible misfortune. But the truth is he is going through a lot of DRAMA, not TRAUMA. A lot of the things he may be suffering are due to lack of faith or struggling upstream -through a path that seems very dark.
This week, I’m using the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, created by digital artist Ciro Marchetti. Inspired by the Rider-Waite, this exquisite and magical deck takes you into the heart of fantasy, yet the illustrations adequately portray the human “feeling” we all experience at one time or other.
The suit of Swords in Tarot represents the element of Air. These cards are associated with change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. Like the other suits in tarot, they represent the human condition.
Not every day is the happy day we wish it to be, we sometimes have to resist forces outside ourselves and forces that turn us to the dark side of thinking. It can be a constant battle.
How to Get Over a Broken Heart
If your partner broke up with you and your heart feels like a sledgehammer tore it apart, you have one of two choices:
You can either wallow in the pain of it all and can carry on with your negative thoughts and berate yourself, thus making yourself MORE miserable; OR you can do something completely different and choose to get over him/her as quickly as possible.
During the first few days and even the first few weeks of losing the one you loved, you should first allow yourself to go through the various stages of the grieving process.
It is good to know what these stages are so you can cut through the chase, by experiencing them and getting over it.
In Trivial Pursuit of St. Patrick – Bits and Pieces You May Not Know
Born of a well-to-do family, kidnapped and sold into bondage, St. Patrick is the most popular saint of Ireland and the United States. How this slave became a saint, is a story that captures the imagination.
St. Patrick was a Roman citizen born in Britain, of a fairly well-to-do family. When he was 16-years old. He was kidnapped by a group of Irish pirates and taken as a slave to Ireland where he spent six years tending sheep until he had an opportunity to escape and go home.
In St. Patrick’s writings “The Confession” he wrote how tending sheep, and his connection to nature brought him to a better understanding of God and helped him convert to Christianity.
According to legend, St. Patrick heard a voice telling him he would go home soon and that his ship was ready. He ran from his master, and traveled 200 miles to port where he found a ship and persuaded the captain to take him on board. After three days of sailing they landed in Britain where everyone left the ship.
After walking for 28 days in the wilderness, and becoming faint with hunger he ran into a herd of boars, where he killed one and ate and had enough energy to finally make it home. When he finally got home he dedicated himself to studying Christianity and then returned to Ireland as a missionary.
Are There Spirits Among You?
How can you tell?
The hair on the back of your neck stands up when you walk into a room. A cool breeze touches your cheek and there is no open window. You see movement out of the corner of your eye but there is no one there. You take a picture and an unexplainable shadow shows up. Could there be spirits among you? Someone trying to contact you? Could it be your own spirit guide or angel? Perhaps it is someone you know who has passed on and is trying to communicate? At other times you may feel a sort of overwhelming presence, a feeling that someone, or someone you know is right there with you. A feeling that is so strong that you could swear it is true! That a ghost or someone you’ve known and loved is sitting in the same room with you.
Tarot Card of the Week: The Devil
Tarot of the Week: Jan 18 – Jan 24, 2016 ~ The Devil
12 "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.” Ezekiel 28:12-14
5 Ways to Stop Being “The Other Woman”
It all starts innocently enough. At first you may share glances of humor, secretly laughing at a co-worker or work environment. Then small conversations, or quips, and jokes turn into long and serious conversations. Then you can’t wait for work to start so you can see each other again. Slowly the conversations turn into caresses, and then passionate moments in the break room or long lunches at a motel room. The connection is unbelievable because you seem to be in sync at every moment. All seems well, you feel you finally found your soulmate after a long search, except for one thing, he is married.
Tarot of the Week- The Page of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: Dec 14 – Dec 20, 2015
Page of Swords
One of my favorite decks is the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. The deck is included in a Tarot Kit for Beginners.
It includes a book by Josephine Ellershaw and has some of the most colorful and easy to understand illustrations of any deck I’ve seen.
This week I pulled the Page of Swords. A beautiful young man, holds his sword, and prepares to battle against turbulent forces that surround him. The sky in the back ground show golden clouds, that oddly fill the land with a strange overcast. Nevertheless the Page of Swords is ready for any challenges coming his way.
The Page of Swords represents enthusiasm. It’s like when you think of a wonderful idea and can’t wait to finish the project and see how your vision ends up looking! He is a card of bountiful energy and passion.
Depending on other cards surrounding it, he could be a new love coming into your life, someone who would bring out the mischievous child in you.

Homemade Face Cream for Dry Winter Skin
I love the snow, the cool, crisp days and taking a walk in the cold. But cold and particularly dry weather can wreak havoc on your face and fill it with cracked skin or dry spots. Even if you don’t like the cold, getting a few seconds of a cold blast can deplete the moisture in your face.
