Orcas, sea lions…and the truth beneath the pictures

Longing for Alaska had me feeling unsettled, but a tarot pull—Four of Wands—helped me realize I wasn’t missing the place, but the sense of home it represented. That clarity softened everything and reminded me to root into where I am now. Tarot always helps me see what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Big Magic Lives in the Small Stuff

Not every moment needs a Major Arcana message. Sometimes, the most profound insights come from the small stuff. This post invites you to use the Minor Arcana for a simple daily check-in—tuning into what’s subtly showing up in your life. It’s not about prediction. It’s about presence.

It wasn’t the cards. It was me.

My tarot practice stopped working—not because I lost faith, but because I needed something deeper. I wasn’t disconnected from Spirit…I was disconnected from myself.

The Myth Behind Resistance

Sometimes resistance isn’t a wall—it’s a whisper. I used to think avoiding a task meant I was failing or self-sabotaging. But now I see it as communication from my body, my soul, or my subconscious saying: Wait. Not yet. Not like this. When I pause and ask, What is the nature of my resistance? I often discover what part of me is afraid—and what part is ready to grow. Resistance isn’t always a stop sign; sometimes it’s a map pointing toward what’s next.
