Musings on the Hermit

Tue, 01/24/2012 - 14:39 — Christiana

The RWS HermitMany months shy of my 50th birthday, I am already in danger of becoming a crotchety old lady.  It is not that I’m feeling negative – far from it.  It’s that I am beginning to feel entitled to tell people when I think they are being rude.

Ask

Mon, 01/23/2012 - 11:26 — Christiana

I take exception to the title of the Hicks’ book “Ask and it is Given.”  I’m sure Jerry Hicks asked to be relieved of the cancer that recently unfortunately killed him, but that, sadly, was not given.

Hungry people ask for food every day, and remain hungry.  Lonely people ask for love, and remain alone.

Revival

Thu, 01/12/2012 - 17:41 — Christiana

On the way to Starbucks, I noticed something in a store window that stopped me in my tracks.

Displayed were two posters, each advertising an upcoming event. One poster was advertising a production of the musical Hair, the other, Godspell.

My first thought was this. What synchronicity - my two favorite musicals are in revival and in production here in Palm Beach County!

My second thought was less pleasant. How is it that these vibrant, modern, hip musicals are old enough to be in revival? The answer is obvious. I’m older too.

Holiday Open House 2011 a Success!

Tue, 12/20/2011 - 10:24 — Christiana

Host Galen with 600 pounds of food!Christiana’s Holiday Open House 2011, held on Sunday, December 18, was a huge success.  Monday morning we delivered 600 lbs of food, some cash, and a few bags of toys to Feeding South Florida.  Through our efforts, 396 hungry people will receive a meal.

The Holiday Open House is about more than feeding the hungry.  It is about sharing our skills, building community, and giving of ourselves whole-heartedly. 

It takes a lot of people to put an event like this together, and I am grateful for each and every person who contributed. 

Is Study a Dirty Word?

Sun, 12/04/2011 - 08:26 — Christiana

Each tarot teacher has a unique way of teaching, and each student a unique way of learning.  Tarot is expansive and diverse.  That’s one of the things that makes it wonderful.  There are countless decks, traditions, books, interpretations and reading styles.  There are countless ways to learn tarot, to read tarot, and to use tarot.

The Wisdom of Beyonce and the Timeless Tarot

Thu, 12/01/2011 - 13:41 — Christiana

 

BeyonceIt’s no secret I love music – all kinds of music.  It’s also no secret that I draw on both likely and unlikely sources for accessible wisdom to help my clients through difficult times.

I encourage my students to do the same – to keep a ready arsenal of wisdom from sacred and secular texts to help bring the tarot cards to life and offer guidance for their clients.

Snow

Snowfall at CityPlaceWe moved to Palm Beach County from the Northeast in March 2007.  That means we had been South Florida residents for nine months before our first Christmas.

Don’t Give Your Trauma Your Voice

Wed, 11/02/2011 - 14:01 — Christiana

 

I was asked to suggest ways of handling a particular problem. I became frustrated when every solution I offered was immediately dismissed as being impossible or undesirable.

I addressed the negativity directly, suggesting it was the root of the problem.

Samhain Blessings and Memories

Tue, 11/01/2011 - 07:42 — Christiana

Even before I identified as Pagan and worked as a professional tarot reader, Halloween, the secular celebration of Samhain, was my favorite holiday.

Too Many Thoughts

Tue, 10/18/2011 - 16:11 — Christiana

Tarot Circle meets the third Monday of every month at Unity Church in Jupiter.  Last night, we decided to take a journey through the suit of Swords.

I know - ouch, right?

Actually, I love the suit of Swords.  In most decks, Swords relate to the element of air.  Air rules powers of the mind, including thought, reason, communication, integrity and intelligence.
