A Psychic Reading with the Sepiafoto Lenormand

This was a reading I did awhile back that I wanted to share. I was due to meet with a friend at the library that day. I hadn't heard back from him to confirm, so I wanted to know if he would show. As I was shuffling, I got a flash in my mind of him giving me money, which was bizarre because he had no reason to give me money, and doesn't generally have money to spare. Still shuffling, it came to mind that him giving me money would show up in the cards as Dog + Fish.

I laid out my reading of three cards, to see about our meeting. Anchor + Tower told me that the meeting at the library was solid, he would show, and we would be there talking for awhile. The Dog obviously represented my friend, but since I had that psychic flash, I just had to see what came after the Dog. Sure enough, it was the Fish! In the same order that I thought it would appear. Dog + Fish! I had to draw another card, because I don't like even-numbered Lenormand layouts. The Heart was a loving gesture from my friend.

Sure enough, he showed up at the library for our meeting. And a few minutes into our chat, he said he had a picture to show me that he knew I would really like. I thought it was going to be of his new granddaughter. Instead, he pulled out a $100 bill and I was looking at a beautiful picture of Benjamin Franklin. Turns out he got an unexpected refund for something and wanted to share his good fortune with me (Heart). I immediately thought of my psychic flash, and how they were reflected in my cards. I loved that the cards confirmed my psychic knowing, and that it all played out within a few hours. Real life magic!

My First (INCREDIBLE) Readings with the Wisdom of the Oracle

I received this deck in the mail today. I wanted to share the first three readings I did with them, because they were magically, incredibly, unbelievably on point.

The first question I asked was what I should focus on today. In my head, it was the choice between doing something creative, cleaning the house (which was scheduled for yesterday, but was delayed because I spent the day gardening) or finishing binge watching the current season of The Walking Dead.  The card I drew was CLEAN IT UP. I mean, seriously. I was bowled over. The cards literally took one of my choices and spat it back out at me. It was incredible, even though it was the least desirable of the options facing me today. But I took the advice and cleaned house. How could I not?

The second question was for my son. He is going to make a trade with someone online, and wanted to know if the transaction would go well, if he could trust this guy to hold up his end of the trade. I drew another really relevant answer. LOYAL HEART. This told me that the guy would be trustworthy and the deal would go well.

The third reading was for my daughter. She asked for a way to make more money. Now, I didn't think any card could possible shock me more than the directness of the first card I drew, but this one took the cake. CHOP WOOD. Next weekend, my kids are scheduled to go to a friend's parents' house to cut down a dead tree in the yard and help gather up all the cut pieces of wood. They're getting paid to do so. I mean... come on! I've never had a deck (and I have a couple hundred decks) with a card title referring to chopping wood. And the kids have never before had an offer to chop wood. The two coming together is nothing short of magical. Really. I got goosebumps when I drew this card! Hours later, and I'm still in shock. So I told her it meant that she needs to focus on the job at hand, and only after that will another financial opportunity present itself to her.

All I can say is if you don't yet have this deck, and you're into oracles, run, don't walk to Amazon.

Full Moon Oracle ~ February 2016 Waning Moon

I haven't done a moon oracle in awhile. I already had two witchy events scheduled for this Full Moon (a spell and a Full Moon Oil brewing), so while I was in the moony spirit, I went ahead and did a tarot pull as well last night.


I asked what energy would be waning in the next two weeks. Drawing from the Major Arcana of the Dreaming Way Tarot, I pulled The Emperor.


The Emperor is the male counterpart to The Empress. Together, in the tarot deck, they represent leadership roles in their respective elements:

• Male/Female
• Masculine/Feminine
• Father/Mother
• Yang/Yin
• Thinking/Feeling
• Logical/Creative
• Facts/Intuition
• Structure/Flow
• Left Brain/Right Brain
• Aggressive/Receptive

For the next two weeks, masculine energy will be waning, so feminine-led energies should be welcomed. 

Lead from the heart. Trust your feelings. Listen to your intuition.

Over the past week or so, I have embarked on several new projects. My mind has been scattered all over the place, a theme that has also made itself manifest in my surroundings. The Virgo Full Moon is a great time to organize and clear clutter. So that is what I did with my day today. I cleared space so that I can enjoy more clarity in my life and mind. From this clearer space, I can be more free to listen to my internal guidance.

The Emperor energies are waning, fading, lessening over the next two weeks. It's not the time to adhere to rigid structures or rules or left brain perspective.


Release the masculine + honor the feminine this waning moon cycle! 


For the next two weeks, it's a beautiful time to:

♥ Listen to the inner stirrings of your heart.
♥ Act on intuitive hits.
♥ Trust your gut.
♥ Honor your feelings.
♥ Go with the flow.
♥ Let your heart lead.
♥ Be creative.
♥ Be open.
♥ Be receptive.

Not wasting a moment on this oracle's advice, I immediately signed up for The Darling Tree's Unicorn Project, which begins March 1st.  The timing was too perfect to pass up!

Ask yourself in what way will you release the masculine and honor the feminine in your world over the next two weeks?

New Moon Oracle - November 2015 Waxing Moon

The New Moon was a couple days ago. I am a bit late in posting this, but the oracle is good for two weeks (until the Full Moon), so it is still relevant.

The waxing moon is a time of growth, manifesting, coming, growing, becoming.

Pulling from the Major Arcana of the Dreaming Way Tarot, I drew...

The Tower.

Again!

I pulled this card for last month's New Moon Oracle, using a different tarot deck.

So we're looking at two straight months of Tower power.

Last month, the Tower energy manifested itself for me in a big way - but in a GOOD big way. Something that had become a habit over the past few years, draining my energy and wallet, ended suddenly, abruptly, all at once. It was a wonderful, unexpected, super-exciting and joyful gift from the Universe.

Two days ago when I drew this card, on the day of the new moon, I experienced another Tower manifestation. A life-changing event, again for the good. This was a miraculous thing - completely out of the blue, completely annihilating an old, outdated, painful way of doing things, to be replaced by a new, easier, more effortless, painless and better way of doing something that was previously really sucky. It was totally unexpected, wholly miraculous. The old was wiped out by the New and Improved.

The Tower can be a huge breakthrough... destruction for good. Think Kali.

If you want to be proactive, and not wait for the Tower to hit you, you can ask Kali to destroy anything in your life that you want gone. I did this just the other day, and visualized her violently hacking away at the energetic cords binding me to someone I no longer wanted an emotional connection to. I could feel the change in me immediately.

So again, for the next couple of weeks, be open. You don't even have to be alert, because you can't miss the Tower when it hits you. Just be open to major change.

And if the Tower happens to knock you on your ass, really try to remember that it's for the best. It really is. Good things will come of it, even if you can't yet see how. (But usually it's pretty obvious, real quick.) Life is just clearing the way for your good.

New Moon Oracle - October 2015 Waxing Moon

Tonight is the new moon. I pulled a tarot card to cover the next two weeks of the waxing moon.  

What is new, what is coming? 

What is growing, manifesting, becoming? 

I drew a card from the Major Arcana of my Silver Era Tarot deck. 

The Tower.

Ooooh... 

The Tower is a very dramatic card. It's mostly seen in a negative light, but there is always a flip side to any coin. 

The Tower shows a woman falling from a high tower, and that's gotta hurt. The Tower is being destroyed by lightning. Since 9/11, the Tower has often reminded me of the fall of the Twin Towers. The pain, destruction and devastation.

This card is about the destruction of a foundation you have long relied on. Thing is, oftentimes our foundations are built on shit and not worthy of our blind loyalty. The very thing we lean on can be our prison.

While The Tower can indicate something devastating like an accident, break-up or house fire, it can also be about enlightenment, freedom and escape.

It can mean breaking free from limiting beliefs, leaving a destructive relationship or even having a brilliant epiphany, creative breakthrough, or A-ha! moment.

Over the next two weeks, walls might come crumbling down. But they are meant to fall. Instead of despairing, welcome it. You need to find what's under the rubble. Find the diamond in the dark cave.

Something major is coming. Something you depended on will fall away, revealing something better for you in its wake. 

Be ready. Be open. Be willing to change your perspective, big time. Be receptive to change. Be willing to be wrong about something you thought you knew for sure. Allow Life to show you something new, something better. Make room in your life, in your mind, in your heart for such an awakening.
