Spirit Halloween Tarot Deck Review

Allison Sasso October 23, 2019 10 Comments

Visiting Spirit Halloween is definitely and October tradition for me. I like meandering around looking at the popular costumes for the year, and checking out props, masks, and weapons. My absolute favorite section is the small home goods display at the front of most Spirit Halloween stores. I can pick up all my spooky home decor needs like dish towels, table runners, and black magic fleece...

Tarot Myths Debunked

Allison Sasso October 16, 2019 0 Comments

There are many myths that surround tarot and tarot reading. Tarot has become more popular and mainstream, but superstitions persist. As a reader who actively tries to demystify and make tarot accessible for anyone, I feel like some of these myths should be addressed. 1. You have to be psychic, able to read minds, or talk to spirit guides/angels to read tarot I was at a Panera recently, and the...

Allison Sasso October 9, 2019 0 Comments

What do I need to know or focus on today? The page of swords is a court card and court cards can be difficult for readers to interpret when they first start out. Court cards can represent people in your life that embody the energy of the card, or they can represent you. In the case of pages, they could also represent messengers and/or messages headed your way. You and your reader should work...

Allison Sasso October 7, 2019 0 Comments

Reading Professionally This was my first big weekend as a professional tarot reader and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d read for the owners, sales and relations coordinators, and bartenders at my partnership locations, Weston Wine Company and Cinder Block Brewery, but this was real deal one on one time with multiple clients in a day. Curious strangers came to me with varying levels of...

Wholeness

The Parts Abandoned A few months ago, my therapist sent out an email blast informing all clients about changes to the therapy group’s structure and management. That wasn’t overly interesting to me, but at the end of the email was this infographic on wholeness from author Amber Rae. I thought it was brilliant, but the part that stood out to me said, “wholeness feels like embracing the parts...

What do I need to know or focus on for today? Here comes the sun, the 19th card of the Major Arcana. The sun card is pretty much universally regarded as one of the most positive cards in the tarot. It’s bright, it’s vibrant, and it radiates positivity and good vibes. What a fabulous way to start a Monday! The Card In the card we see a child wearing only a whimsical crown of flowers...

Daily Draw: New Moon in Libra

Allison Sasso September 28, 2019 0 Comments

The Astrology For those out of touch with moon phases, the new moon is when the sun and moon are aligned which is why we can’t see the moon in the night sky. For astrologers and astrology enthusiasts, this means the sun’s energy and the moon’s energy are aligned in the same house and this month it's Libra. So, if you are born today, you’re a double Libra. New moons also give all zodiac...

Daily Draw: Death and Transformation

Allison Sasso September 27, 2019 0 Comments

What do I need to know or focus on today? The death card is one of the most feared cards in the tarot, and is frequently used in movies or TV to indicate a literal death. I think the majority of tarot readers would tell you that your imminent demise is highly unlikely, but that doesn’t stop death from filling us with a sense of impending doom. If I’m not dying, then what is? The card...

Daily Draw: Trust your gut!

What do I need to know or focus on today? The high priestess is such an iconic image there was even an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess in which they recreated the scene depicted above. This is a card that a lot of tarot readers either identify with, or is a personal favorite, and I think it’s because the high priestess is a conduit for secret and sacred knowledge, as well as an empathetic...

Allison Sasso September 25, 2019 0 Comments

What do I need to know or focus on for today? Today I drew the three of wands reversed. I frequently draw wands when I read for myself, and it came up in my new moon in Virgo reading back in August too, but I know this keeps popping up because of my enthusiasm in starting Veil and Vow Tarot. The card In Pamela Coleman Smith's depiction, we see a person in a mostly red cloak, surrounded by three...
