I haven't had the chance to read Jimmy Carter's newest book, White House Diary yet, but apparently, he has some good things to say about the CIA using parapsychology for intelligence gathering.According to Politico.com, an entry from his diary on April 11, 1979 says “Both we and the Soviets use these parapsychologists on occasion to help us with sensitive intelligence matters, and the results are

Romanian witches and fortune tellers are not to be messed with.The senate there recently rejected a move by Alin Popoviciu, of the ruling Democrat Liberal Party to tax witches and fortune tellers and to make them liable for flawed predictions. According to Popovicu, the senate rejected the proposition because they were afraid angry seers might retaliate and curse the whole lot of them. Click

I got a new deck the other day called Morgan’s Tarot. It’s not really a Tarot deck. There are 88 cards (not 78), no majors, no minors, no numbers at all. So I guess it’s an Oracle Deck that calls itself Tarot, but I don’t mind. And normally I would. Typically I’m not drawn to Oracle decks. And certainly they shouldn’t be running around calling themselves Tarot if they’re not, but I’m crazy

Though I’ve been using Tarot cards for a long time now – abut 17 years, I still can’t say that I know how they work. I know they do, but ‘how’ remains a mystery. I have lots of ideas, and have read and listened to many other people’s ideas, but so far, no answer has been completely satisfying. So today I decided to go to the source itself. It seems sort of obvious – why haven’t I done this

Staying bright in the winter is a challenge for me. When 3 degrees above freezing is considered balmy, and the sun starts setting just after 4:15, I can’t help but get a little gloomy. But, since this is going to be the situation for at least another four months, and I don’t want to be miserable that long, I thought I’d ask my cards for a little ‘how to get through the winter’ coping advice.

My friend Mean Jean Brophey collects playing cards. Not such an unusual hobby except that she does it one card at a time. Some years ago, she started noticing individual cards lying on the street. She’d see them here and there and wonder how they got separated from their decks. After a while, she decided to start picking them up (for some reason always hoping for a 9 of Spades). Today she’s

As if I wasn’t lucky enough last month to be on the Storm Cestavani Show, but as a bonus ‘guest’ prize, Storm gifted me the delightful new All Hallow’s Tarot by Robin Tisch-Holister. It took a while for the deck to make it all the way to Canada but I got it this week – and I love it!Not only did it arrive in a most beautiful bag stuffed with magical toys and candy (thank you Leisa!), the deck

I was listening to the Storm Cestavani Show from a couple of weeks ago when he and Robin Richardson interviewed Leisa ReFalo. Leisa mentioned Chronata's Minute Tarot and how the artist who created it took about five minutes to draw each card. I was intrigued that someone could draw a deck so quickly and decided to challenge myself to do the same. 'Georgie's Deck-In-A-Day' is the result! Some

When I’ve got nothing to do, or am avoiding things I should do, I often take my camera and head out with no particular plan. I’ll walk around for a couple of hours and shoot whatever catches my eye. No surprise really, but frequently, when I’m doing this I’ll see things that remind me of Tarot cards or their symbols. It often crosses my mind to make a 'City Walk Tarot' out of one of my photo

My very good dog friend, Stoney Machete, is celebrating his 13th birthday today. I can’t believe time has gone so fast, Stone and I have shared some good times. Hours together at the office, adventures at the Bat Cave, trips to Pioneer Town, countless games of drag and tug. We’ve crisscrossed North America together and said hello and good-bye at airports more times than I can remember. I

What does it take to learn to read Tarot cards? Psychic powers, angel guides, gypsy lineage, a bulging third eye?Though they might come in handy, you don’t really need any of those extras. To learn to read Tarot cards it takes pretty well the same thing it takes to learn anything – curiosity, discipline and practice, all messages of the Page of Disks.Curiosity is perhaps the most important

Today was the last episode of Tarot Talk, a weekly radio show I’ve been co-hosting with Raven Mardirosian since January. We closed the show with a particularly interesting interview with Paul Quinn, author of Tarot for Life. It was a most excellent end to a wonderful experience.Through the last nine months, we’ve had so many great guests – psychics of every type, angel, fairy and animal

The Sun card is one of my favourites! A young child with a red plume rides a white horse under the blazing yellow star. Sunflowers cheer behind him as he carries the red flag of victory forward.In the Major Arcana, the Sun is #19, the third to last card in the series. By the time you get to it, you’ve been through some serious growing. But it looks like you’ve come out a winner. And you’ve

Lately the 9 of Disks has been coming up a lot in my readings. In the image, a woman stands in a lush garden with a falcon on her gloved hand. The card typically speaks of creating abundance through self-discipline and hard work. When I see it, I often think of a gorgeous Sunday afternoon after a long, productive week, or a comfy early retirement after a prosperous career.But what of the falcon

Today is spring and I’ve been waiting a long time to say that. Yay!On the Tarot Room Facebook Group there’s been a very interesting discussion about which tarot cards represent spring. There were many different interpretations – all excellent. My vote was for the Ace of Cups. Everyone made great points and they definitely expanded my thinking on the whole topic, but I’m going to stick with my

It’s been just over 12 years since Al Rush died. He was the manager of the Kingsway Theatre when I worked there in my early twenties. Today when the Twitter @Weiserbooks Book Club asked us to ‘listen to the ghosts of our own past’, it was Al’s voice I heard.“Stupid hoodlum teenage bastards.” That’s what he called all the employees, myself included. Probably not such a positive motivational

There’s a book club on Twitter right now organized by @Weiserbooks. We’re reading T. Thorn Coyle’s Kissing the Limitless. A main theme of the book is developing and sustaining ‘self-possession’. Coyle defines this as:"… the quality of being fully in touch with all of our parts and aware of the relationship those parts have to our own divinity, known as our God Soul, or our Sacred Dove.

Today was special. Daylight Savings. International Woman's Day. A technical meltdown on this week's Tarot Talk. And most importantly, the White Squirrel was back! All squirrels are sweet, but the White Squirrel is like the Star, the Ace of Cups and the Wheel of Fortune all rolled into one magical little rodent.

In honor of a busy spring-time, here’s a quick look at some tarot cards that seem especially 'busy' to me. Some are a little easier to deal with than others. 2 of Disks – Feel like you’re juggling work and more work? Get the rhythm down and you’ll be just fine.3 of Disks – You’re doing great and important people are noticing. Keep it up!6 of Swords – The plan is in motion. It’s not just a

I pulled a card just now to ask how the US stimulus package is likely to affect the economy. The card I got was #20 – Judgment. People rise naked and pale from their coffins, reaching up towards a trumpeting angel. The angel is colorful, focused and bearing a red cross. Could it possibly mean the economy will soon rise from the dead? That relief is alive and real and directed at average

While watching the Grammies tonight I was tempted to pull cards to see who would win the top awards. Then I thought, what‘s the point – by the time I figure out who’s all nominated, the results will have been aired. Instead, I decided to ask a potentially more useful question – what does it take to win (or even be nominated) for a Grammy, Juno, Oscar or other esteemed industry award?The card I

With so much to do these days it’s been hard to find time to write. It seems that since Mercury went direct, I’ve suddenly become swamped with tasks needing immediate attention. I kind of miss the slower pace of the retrograde. It wasn't nearly so hectic.While I was trudging through the snow this morning, wondering how everything could possible get done, I started thinking about the Thoth

The Crescent Moon has been in a sweet conjunction with Venus for the last few days and it's been gorgeous. These two space bodies often hang out, but every now and then they look especially good together. This is one of those times.It was too snowy here for me to see the sky myself, but when I saw the pictures, the tarot’s High Priestess and Empress came to mind. In the Priestess card, the

Sunday’s a great day for at least two reasons – Mercury finally goes direct after a three-week slowdown, and it’s Ground Hog Day. Mercury going direct should help get communication, electronics and travel back on track. But Ground Hog day is even more exciting! At least for me here in the snowy north.Whether Punxsutawney Phil or his Canadian cousin, Wiarton Willie see their shadows or not,

Reading tarot cards for friends and family can sometimes be tricky, especially for a new reader. The challenge lies in how close you are to the situation. If you know a lot about what someone is going through, it can certainly add clarity, but it can also mess you up. For a useful tarot reading, impartiality is essential. And it’s not so hard to achieve when there’s a stranger sitting in front

All sorts of free applications are available for Twitter users. You can get them to organize your messages, track your growth, automatically follow and unfollow, lurk on cursers, or rate tweets on a happiness scale (apparently mine would lead people to believe I’m ‘ridiculously happy’). Twitter Grader is another one. Just plug in a Twitter account name and it generates a stat page with a grade

Astronomers say that 2008 was the blankest year of the space age . What they mean is that there were fewer spots on the sun last year than there’s been since 1954. Sunspots come and go in eleven year cycles and from what they say, we’ve reached the end of one of these phases and are just getting started on another. Information about sunspots and other spaceweather is of course very important

So the cold hasn’t let up. I was hoping it might, but when -5 degrees C is the warm front it gets discouraging. Every morning it’s the same. Cold. And more often than not, snow. Since it looks like this icy weather might be here for a while, I decided to see if the cards had anything to say about it. Sure enough they do. The RWS Tarot has two cards that show snow, the 5 of Disks, and #9,

With the Presidential inauguration coming up Tuesday, and all this talk of ‘hope’ and ‘change,’ I decided to ask the cards for some advice. As citizens of the world, not just the USA (after all, I’m Canadian), what can we personally do to start fulfilling the hopes so many of us have been projecting onto the President-Elect? How might we create for ourselves the changes we’ve been dreaming of?

People often ask me if those free on-line tarot readings work. ‘How could they?,’ is the usual perspective, ‘a computer can’t see my future.’ I agree with that. Of course a computer can’t see your future, but for that matter, neither can a pack of tarot cards. Though microchips and cardboard aren’t magical, tarot readings, on- or off-line, can still be very rewarding experiences. Rather than

I’ve been on Twitter for about a month now. So far, I’m absolutely loving it. It’s been inspiring and informative. Ok, so some of it’s not so inspiring or informative, but enough people on it are to make the whole thing worthwhile. And what’s even more amazing (at least to me) is that all this sharing is being done in 140 characters or less. That’s not a whole lot of strokes to get your

Since major news outlets seem to think it’s an important enough issue to cover – I thought I would too. I’ve asked my cards – should the Obamas pick a Labradoodle or a Portuguese Water Dog? Personally, I (and the CNN online poll) lean towards the Labradoodle, but it seems the cards disagree. The 5 of Cups, a typically sad card of disappointment and unfulfilled expectations showed up for the

Mercury went retrograde today. It can be a trying time when the planet of communication, travel and quick thinking slows down. Wires get crossed, ideas muddy, travel can take you places you never meant to go. During a Mercury Retrograde, we’re often warned against signing contracts, making holiday reservations or buying computers and cars. If you do, don’t be surprised if you end up having

My obsession with determining the tarot card that represents birthdays and other important events led me to add up the numbers for January 20th, 2009, inauguration day in the United States. As it turns out, Barak Obama will become President on a day ruled by #5, the Hierophant. Makes sense. A new powerhouse is coming to town. And it looks like he'll be making some pretty serious decisions.

The oldest person in the world died yesterday. Her name was Maria de Jesus and she was born in Urqueira, Portugal on September 10, 1893. Seeing her birth date, I couldn’t help but calculate what tarot soul card represented Maria. Much to my delight, her birthday adds up to 13 – Death . I say it delighted me because it makes clear that the number 13 and the card it represents has very little

According to news reports around the world, the global economic downturn has led increasing numbers of people to seek out the advice of tarot readers and psychics. My own business hasn’t seen a significant change in either the number of clients or what they’ve been asking, but time will tell. As we enter this new year, the economy certainly is at the forefront of people's minds so I decided to

1. What to Leave Behind in 2008 – Knight of CupsThis is a lovely card full of hope, fun and a growing emotional maturity. At first glance I thought – “oh no, I don’t want to leave love behind”. But of course, that’s not what it means at all. Or at least my take on it is that what we are being encouraged to let go of is the idea of a savior on a beautiful white horse ready to whisk us away to

In an attempt to keep up with current events in the Tarot world, I recently signed up for Google News Alerts. I used keywords like ‘tarot’, ‘occult’, and ‘fortune telling’. What’s been most interesting has been how few articles I receive that are actually about tarot, the occult or fortune telling. The largest numbers are probably about finance – ‘fortune’ and ‘telling’ being the keywords.

Here’s an issue that’s finally got me writing again, Beauty Pageant Dumps Tarot Card Reading Judge, Beauty Queen Rejected as Pageant Judge and unfortunately, it’s from my own home town . . . At the end of January, the Miss Toronto Tourism Pageant ousted one of their judges when they discovered that she read Tarot cards and practiced reiki.

Yesterday I was reading cards at the bay. It's a big department store in downtown toronto. They hired a few readers for a charity event to raise money for the fantastic group - Look Good . . . Feel Better. It's a cancer support program that teaches beauty techniques and provides free cosmetics to people trying to overcome appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. They're great -

I’ve been working a lot lately at all day tarot events where I find myself reading for thirty to sixty people one after another. An interesting observation I’ve come across is that when I work these sorts of events, it almost feels as if I could leave half the deck at home. Not that I would (after all, I wouldn’t know what part to leave back), but it seems like I could. One after another, the

I just pulled a card to talk about here today. The card I pulled was #6 - the Lovers. My first thought was romance, the romantic dream of union, choosing commitment to the self and/or another. Commitment itself is such a romantic concept - full of sacrifice and devotion. It's also full of bright hopes and honor, loyalty and trust. I'm wondering what it might mean to me right now. Two humans

A couple of weeks ago I had the fabulous opportunity to attend two days of workshops with tarot expert extraordinaire Mary K. Greer. The event was hosted by Toronto’s own Worker of Oracles, James Wells at WonderWorks in downtown Toronto.Mary’s been reading and studying tarot cards for over 39 years. She’s written many books on the subject, and presented at countless workshops and seminars

Sorry I've been gone so long. Though I haven't been posting here lately, I did manage to write an article for the American Tarot Association's Quarterly Newsletter. It was published in their Fall 2006 issue. Take a look here if you're interested - the tarot: revealing our shared human core. In the article I talk about how reading the tarot for other people offers the reader a unique

Take a look - I've come across a few more free tarot and astrology websites that are well worth checking out. Mystic Games offers all sorts of free readings – tarot, runes and horoscopes. There’s also a celebrity birthday section, some herbal remedies and of course, some mystic games. I’ve spent most of my time going through the tarot section and can’t speak for the whole site, but the tarot

Are you thinking about seeing a tarot or other psychic reader but are afraid you’ll be ripped off? Here are some simple tips to keep in mind when evaluating a reader or a reading. How Much Will The Reading Cost For How Long:Before you start, ask exactly how much the session will cost and how long it will be. If you don’t get a direct answer, that’s a red flag right away. Legitimate readers won

There’s a man in Colorado who’s suing a psychic he claims he gave over $170,000. Apparently she had him give her money and buy gift cards from various stores to help increase his good energy and clear bad karma for him and his daughter. She said the money and cards would not be spent, only held by her for a while. The deal, according to the man suing, was that she would return the money, I

So I finally got some time to Google through recent psychic and tarot news. . . . Update . . . . It looks like Eastpointe, Michigan is going forward with their plans to crack down on psychics within their city limits. I still can’t help but think city council’s got some agenda outside of protecting seniors from potential fraud. By their own admission – they’ve had no problems with psychics in

Do you suffer from Prediction Addiction? Are you a Psychic Junky?Despite the fact that tarot reading is my profession, and I certainly don’t want to scare away possible clients, I think addiction to getting psychic readings is an important issue to address. If you’re a psychic junky, you probably already know. Do you spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars a month on readings – online, on

There’s been a small victory for the mystics in Dover, Delaware. boscov’s found wrong to deny tarot workshop Earlier this year, Boscov’s Department Store in Dover booked a series of metaphysical workshops to be held in the meeting room of their store. Soon after running a newspaper ad announcing the event, they cancelled it. Apparently some Christian pastors, opposed on spiritual grounds, had

I came across an interesting article in The Macomb Daily out of Michigan, near Detroit. It describes a new law being considered in Eastpointe that would regulate psychic businesses like tarot and palm readers, astrologers and mediums. It’s meant to protect people from being ripped off by “so-called psychics”. As a professional tarot reader, I’m especially sensitive to the need to keep the

What’s up with all the psychics on TV these days? They’re everywhere. Shows like Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Psychic Detectives, and Missing to name a few. Not to mention all the talk shows. I can hardly believe it. You’d think people took psychics seriously or something. Not that I don’t like it – personally I think it’s great.

Some months ago, I was reading the 20th verse of The Tao -The Wanderer, and couldn't help but think of the Fool. So I went ahead and wrote my own version of Tao #20 with the Fool in mind. In honour of April - the Month of the Fool - here is my translation. It's by no means scholarly so please don't be upset if you think I've got it all wrong. I'm nothing more than a fool myself.--------------

There are a lot of scammers out there - in every age, size, shape, and colour, and from every culture and profession under the sun. But some images of the con artist stand far above the rest. They’re the stereotypes we’ve come to know so well - used car dealers, telemarketers, street corner watch sellers, politicians and of course psychics and tarot card readers. Unfortunately, sometimes

Many psychics and tarot card readers make tapes of their readings for their clients. I, however, do not. For a while now though, I’ve been mulling over whether or not I should. Only one of the many readings I’ve had through the years was ever taped. I took that tape home, meaning to listen to it again some time, and threw it in a drawer. I kept it for years, moving it with me from one home to

A common perception among new, and even some experienced readers is that you can't read cards for yourself. This thinking has always seemed strange to me. If you don’t read for yourself, aren’t you missing out on a tremendous learning tool – your own experience. I pull three cards each morning - one for body, one for mind and one for spirit. It gives me a chance to feel how each card plays out
