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.

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.

Super Moon. A Time for Healing and Release

It’s a full moon, a time to release the old and unwanted. What will you release tonight? A bright, full moon has been the object of awe, worship, and intrigue among ancient civilizations for thousands of years and even today people believe in the power and magic of the moon. This year on Sunday, September 27, the closest full moon to the earth will dazzle the night sky, along with an eclipse, so a super whammy for believers in moon magic.

Birthstones Meanings, Magic, and Dazzling Legends

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend — but so would be a collection of other fabulous gems that are considered birthstones. Some people would disagree of the type of gem associated with birthstones. Some say Ruby is January’s gem, or that Alexandrite is June’s gemstone. I prefer Pearls for June, perhaps because that is my gemstone; I love Pearls and everything associated with them, including the beach. Birth gems have power! Not only do they provide the owner healing powers, but they dazzle the imagination with the stories, myths and legends behind these special stones. Below is a look at birthstones and why

Tarot of the Week – The Hanged Man

 Tarot of the Week — June 24 – June 30 This week we offer a look and interpretation of The Hanged Man from the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot by Lisa Hunt: In this deck the Hanged man is a transformational figure, the root system shows us his connection to the universe and the skeletal being of the underworld is holding the man in suspension. From the look of the man’s face he seems to give up freely to the connection of the light of the universe and darker side of humanity. When we see a hanged man in a spread,

Tarot Card of the Week – The Moon

The  Moon — June 17 – 23 This week we offer a look and interpretation of the Moon as depicted in the Beautiful Creatures Tarot created by,  J.R. Rivera  (Author), Jasmine Becket-Griffith  (Illustrator). In this illustration the little nymph sits cold and alone.
