They just keep falling into my lap!

So when I was at Barnes and Noble, I intended to find me a journal for using it for a BoS of sorts but didn't find one. However, I took a moment to look at the tarot and oracle decks they had on hand. They don't have many and most are angel or heaven based ones which are def. not the oes I am into. So what was interesting is that earlier in the day I was creating new spreads to post to my Etsy shop and one is an animal totem one but using another deck I already have. So I saw the Animal Messages oracle deck and was like, synchronicity! So I got it! I have to say the art doesn't really call to me but the messages do and really that is more important to me.

So on another note, we got a package in the mail when we were in the car on our way to our parking space, and he, my husband, put it behind his seat instead of in my lap, so I basically pointed out that was weird and he just blew me off. LOL so basically this tells me he ordered something for me and being I gave him my wish list of decks, most likely it is that! I am pretty stoked, I hope it was one of the top 5 I have listed like the Book of Shadows tarot decks.

Anyways have a great holiday week to everyone regardless of what you follow. Love and Light!

Trying out my new deck

So I was trying out my Shadowscapes deck I got from Kimi (AutumnMoonStar), last night by doing a personal reading for myself. The imagery doesn't pull out my intuition as of yet and it will be some time before I use it with other people. I am not quite comfortable with them yet. That being said, the reading I did, was quite insightful. I read the meanings the book that came with it gave and it had some very clear meanings (in my opinion) even with the minor arcana and the reading made a lot of sense. So that is my status with that deck so far! 


Do you have any ideas you want to share on how you get comfortable with your decks?

Cyber Monday Sale!

I just added a few more spreads on my etsy shop! You can use a cold and get 50 percent off during cyber monday! Chck it out! Use the code: CYBMON2013 the shop and you will get that discount!

I am pretty excited!

I sold my first 2 tarot readings on Etsy! I finished the first one and she loved it and am about to work on the second.
It is so thrilling to do something I am passionate about. I even spoke about selling readings to my parents and sister and they were kind of surprised because they I assume, didn't know I was into that stuff.
My dad and mom are pagan and my sister, she is very earthy herself so they all are open minded about that stuff.
So ya I just wanted to share how exciting it was!
If you are interested in purchasing a reading and good prices here is my link! Thanks!

We Smell Change...

In the past year, year and a half, I have gone through a pretty major shift in many ways. First is spiritual. For a very long time I have been atheist then for the past couple years, I have been agnostic, due to my strong ability to be a skeptic to the deterrent to being open to things. I have gone and involved myself a little bit lately in the metaphysical stuff. I probably am best fit under pagan, without deities. 
Another thing that has changed is my ability to control my anger/uncontrolled responses that used to be caused by provocation as most of you know, you poke me in a certain way big or small, you will get every clear reaction from me. When it comes to petty arguments, I am now able to shut them down and walk away almost all the time now. I used to feel the need to fight everything just for the sake of it. It is every unnecessary act that just drains me. 
I barely cry. Grief is the biggest trigger for me, understandably, but crying over anger is extremely rare. It is a waste of energy and again, just a drain on me. Not to mention headache giver of epic proportions. Now some may say not crying is unhealthy, but it is not the fact I am holding back, it is just that I haven't felt the need to. 
This correlates with the next change. My chronic depression and mood issues. I have felt very "base" for quite some time now.Depression associated with my family who has passed is not the depression that has dogged me my whole life. I have carried a lot of frustration, bitter anger,and self loathing most of my life for various reasons from me being blind, to how I have been treated by a certain family member since practically birth, to how I have been used/abused (no not physically), way beyond what most people have experienced. Though I have moments where if I talk about certain people or experiences, oh ya I get worked up, but I am able to not have these things affect my daily life anymore. Which is a big step. 
Letting go and moving forward basically has been my thing. I have lost people I used to be best friends with by choice or by fate, but have gained healthier and even some more fulfilling relationships with the"newer" friends I have gained. Or the rekindling of very old friendships. Some of these people have made all the difference in the world tome, you know who you are :). 
Losing my grandparents started a ball rolling about living life without regrets, or moving on from the things that were not worth living in.Losing my cousin so violently, really kicked it into my head how short life can be. Telling those you love, even if you don't get along, that you love them and care for them regardless if they are jackasses lol, is absolutely necessary.His loss in particular gave me a better view on life and how the small thing scan be the most important and to take advantage in a positive way every opportunity you are given. I feel very lucky I was able to speak to grandparents days before their passing and to let them know I loved them, and to hug my cousin and tell him I loved him again, days before he passed. It gives me solace to know they knew I cared.
I still have things to work on, as we all do. My communication skills certainly are my biggest issues when interacting with others. How some may perceive my actions or words may not be what I intended. Working has given me a better outlook on my own ways of communicating and also has helped me grow in ways I couldn't have if I hadn't gotten out of this house and found productive opportunity.

Anyways, this is insanely long and I doubt most will bother reading any of this. But those who do, thank you.

It’s fing with my mind man! Not really.

So I just made an update but I have been thinking on other stuff a lot today. So I e-met someone who my sister and other personal friends know personally. I talked to her and she is a reiki healer so I have asked many questions of her and such.
I have started studying my tarot cards and their meanings and how they are spread, FINALLY after so many years. LOL!
I am educating myself about crystals, energy stuff, and a bunch of metaphysical things. I find the stuff so interesting. 
The only contrary thing about it though is that my natural skepticism makes me question all of it :/ So though I am educating myself on all these topics and more, and I really enjoy the idea of all of it, I still have the lil skeptic on my shoulder squawking that it isn’t real, it is a scam, blah blah blah.
So I need to focus on this more to make a full decision of either going in head first or drop it for good.

Introduction to My Renewed Blog!

This was originally a generic review blog that I really didn't feel a calling for. There was little in my mind to review that was something unique to anyone reading. So, I scrapped those posts.
This blog will now be strictly about tarot and divination (maybe pagan things) tools, books, decks, etc. I love these things and though I have only been doing tarot and divination for less then a year, and finally coming out as a pagan/witch this year as well, these are aspects of my life and topics of interest I have always been drawn to my entire life.
So this blog will have videos, written blogs, photos, etc. that will be based on the above listed. I hope some of you will be interested in following my journey!
The first couple posts will be older blogs posted elsewhere and videos from my YouTube channel that fall under this category.
Thank you for your time reading and accepting my journey as something interesting to follow! ☺
