Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 12
The Center card this week is the Prince of Wands. Passion and tenacity rule the week. I see the princes as the adolescent boys of the Tarot. In their progression from the innocence, their younger siblings, the princesses, hold they emerge with the basic information they’ve gained through that initial experience. And like young men who’ve just begun to experience the world, they feel full of their five minutes of practical exposure and the “wisdom” they’ve gained. Likely to have more vigor than reason, they tend to charge off towards whatever obstacles they detect, confident in their knowledge and determined to prove themselves. Those of us with a bit more than five minutes of experience stand back with a sigh holding the helmet and elbow pads left behind and remembering the walls we’ve charged and the reasons for the helmet and pads. The beauty of that headlong charge into obstacles is that sometimes those boundaries are an illusion and the lack of preconceived expectations allows us to break right through as if they never existed at all. Maybe they never did.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 11)
This week I’m debuting a new deck. It’s still the Thoth (which is the only deck I use) and the images are reworked from Lady Frieda Harris’ original paintings. They’ve been “modernized” and made more aesthetically pleasing with brighter, more blended colors. I enjoy the new images, I hope you do too.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 10)
Reading for 10-28 thru 11-3-19 This week we have two Major Arcana cards and how perfect is it that we get the dancing skeleton of Death at the center of the week of All Hallows Eve? The focus and energy for the week will likely be on discovering things in our lives that no longer serve us, casting away burdens that we’ve carried for too long and manifesting our desires.

Introducing the New Podcast!
I have exciting news! I am announcing a new podcast that I am hosting and introducing. The new podcast that I have created is called The Mage’s Circle. If you would like to listen to the podcast you can definitely find me on Spotify. This is going to be more for people who are baby spiritualists, or people who are interested in spiritual concepts but don’t know who to go to to have them explain. People who are not magical but are curious in spirituality are, what I like to call, “no mag," the popular term coined by J. K. Rowling‘s famous novels of the Fantastic Beasts Series, where basically it’s people who are not healers, not spiritual, but are interested in spiritual concepts, but have no interest in practicing them, but want to learn more.

Ayahuasca/DMT [Part One]
(VLOG posted at bottom for those who prefer to watch and listen rather than read.) It's being open to finding and thus accepting the beauty, knowledge, and wisdom being offered—even when it seems to be absent or insignificant from the perspective of our own ignorance and arrogance—that makes us Wise and Enlightened beings.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 9
Reading for 10-21 thru 10-27-19 The Center card this week is the Hierophant. As the first of two Major Arcana cards this week, the Hierophant at the Center brings the main focus of the week to our personal definition of teachers or leaders. In the early days of the Tarot, the Hierophant, also called the Pope, was seen as a religious leader. The position recognized in society as the voice of the “Almighty” in human form... And that’s where we find the catch; in human form. The connection to Universe—Truth, Spirit, God—is very strong in those individuals who choose to carry that mantle, and they are acting as an interpreter or go-between for the Divine. Although there is divinity in what they teach, they are not The Divine. When the duty of the teacher is to empower the student up to and beyond their own level, sometimes the hardest part is to allow the student to grow into bigger and better things. It’s my belief that the divinity in the teacher shows clearly when they watch, with pure joy, their students take flight up and beyond the point where that teacher has brought them. If we can get to the point where there is no fear, judgement, or competitive drive once our student surpasses us, that’s where we align with Truth. That dance on the razor’s edge is where the Hierophant lives. In being human he has natural competitive drives and aspirations coupled with the desire to bring knowledge and strength to those he teaches. Especially when the knowledge is deep and strong, the Hierophant is driven in himself to be the best at what he does. When bringing others to that point and beyond that drive, when it’s turned in towards Self, can show us clearly where we allow our humanity to tangle us up.

The 7 Chakras
It would be no surprise for me to know that any of you have seen the symbol of the seven chakras.The symbolic rainbow circles presented usually throughout a human body. These flyers displaying the seven chakras can be found throughout any city in a windowsill and whatnot. So many of us see this on a day-to-day basis but might not even know what a chakra is… much more what all seven of them are. The seven chakras are seven main areas in the human body in which energy flows in. These areas serve different purposes in our body and overall lifestyle choices.

Conscious Self Care: Rituals to Bring You Back to Balance
We are currently right in the middle of Libra season, which means we are all trying to find balance in one way or another. This balance shows up in all areas of our lives, whether that's our mood, finances, relationships or whatever else. In order to bring balance to all those aspects, we must first find our own centers. And one of the best ways to do this is through ritual. Taking care of not only our body, but mind and spirit through daily ritual gives us that sacred place within where we can rest no matter how bad the storm outside may be. The most important thing is that you do these rituals with conscious intent. In this way you create a sort of magic which allows you to manifest whatever it is you desire. Below I share with you some of my own favourite self care rituals. Keep reading!

Enlightened Spirit
After a while you sink into a place of just doing instead of seeking, as if all those magical dreams had faded away in the background, every now and then popping up to remind you of how far you have come. Although my thoughts have gathered speed trying to determine what is right for me and what is wrong for me, I think that neither have an effect on my life cycle; although it’s pre-determined I intend to graciously thank what I have achieved, look forward to a new style of writing, a new chapter on my never ending journey of enlightenment.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 8
Reading for 10/14 thru 10/20/19 The Center card for this week is the Four of Swords. With this four at the center, the focus for the week will be about finding a copacetic balance between the decisions we’ve made and the people with whom we’ve made them. (Including ourselves.) The fours of the Tarot generally represent a time for organizing and aligning. We’ve made initial steps, gathered needed materials, and set the course. With the aces we have the idea, with the twos we recognize possibilities for bringing the idea to reality, and the threes represent implementation, putting plans into action. The fours see us stepping back from the rough draft or the foundation or the collection of resources and seeing the project as a whole. It’s from this point of realization, as we see that pieces are falling into position and actually taking shape, we begin to look at the farther reaches and implications of this thing we’ve made real. Often the fours have us feeling that we’re in a time of stasis, and that can seem uncomfortable especially after the work we’ve already put in, but with this break we’re given a chance to experience things from a broader perspective. So this week we begin to see the results of our tough communications from the past few weeks.

The Backwards Law and the Wheel of Fortune
The Backwards Law was coined by Alan Watts and is wonderfully explained in the video. Watching it reminded me of the Wheel of Fortune card in tarot, which is often associated with being in a situation that is beyond your control. However, exploring The Backwards Law can take this a step further. As you release control, you instantly gain a new perspective (loss and gain, give and take, right?). In the video, the narrator talks about how we can perceive good providing bad and bad providing good to help us accept certain circumstances of life, but let's remember what Watts said:
