Christiana's blog

Choosing a first tarot deck, or a tarot deck to learn on, is a very special occasion.  When you begin your tarot journey, you open yourself  to a world of self-discovery, a  connection with Spirit, a new opportunity to tap in to your creativity, and a wonderful community of fellow tarotists.

With so many decks available, the options are staggering.  What makes sense as a good learning deck?

Recently a young person wanted me to tell him everything I knew about meditation…as part of a half-hour reading.

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.

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. 

It’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.
