  • Tarot Talks – The Devil Card – Dark Night of The Soul Part 2 – One Thing At A Time

    The Devil comes and goes you know?

    That obsession that you think is soothing, but in fact, it is only an illusion of healing.

    That is the part that writhes me from within.

    The energy that is surrounding you all the time, it almost becomes like a taste of your own medicine turned inward. Your own advice, twisted and used against you.

    Imagine being someone that would never hurt a soul, yet here are those inward feelings hurting you, haunting you.

    How do you re-establish that bond of health again?

    It won’t be easy, it will be more tempting to stop healing altogether as the agonizing pain continues to creep.

    It won’t stop abruptly.

    It takes every bit of awareness from you. It makes you live out some of your worst fears in reality, not in your softened daydreams.

    Then, it starts to tug at you.

    Your healing light may taunt you with a game of sorts. It will grab your attention by adding more darkness of, entrapping you in tug and drag.

    When I would lie sleep in my bed, I would notice something in my third eye. A shadow that would start to show how it wanted to pull me out of bed and under the floor by my feet.

    Yet, I stop and allow myself to label it as a manifestation of trauma and know not to let the thought linger.

    As I write this I see that it is my goddess Morrigan tell me to listen.

    I would choose not to allow myself to channel wisdom for myself. Instead, I chose to listen to the dull whispers of suspense.

    Of the lullaby that would act as a subtle way to say goodbye to my willpower.

    To make matters drearier, I am followed.

    I never knew it until recently, that we create portals leading to the things that may torment us. Most time, more than we may know.

    We create them subconsciously, and soon after they are like tattoos.

    Just below our hard surface, yet visible to the trained eye.

    The one that haunts me the most is the one on my arm. One that I used to love more than myself.

    It’s a star tattoo that I bought one day for myself what I call and my, ‘shadow twin flame’.

    It is a portal into my dreams now.

    Dreams that I still try to convince myself are real.

    That it is possible to live in this fantasy.

    “If only he could finally act the way my shadow self likes, then maybe everything could be alright.”

    I know now more than ever that I need to heal this shadow, to rebuild it.

    I think that the Raven which follows me with my present reality is the key. That in its own way, my Raven of hope is beckoning me to answer my own joy.

    ‘That should do it. Tattoo myself once more, allow the pain to roll back down to a simmer so that I can finally come back to present to see the facts, rather than the romantic fantasy that has been burning for years.

    I just need to take things one day at a time, one archetype at a time, one card at a time until I can heal.

    One theme, one fact at a time, continuing the work as a present-day healing process, rather than a historical book of the same cycle and same story.

    To be Continued…..

    Life’s funny sometimes, isn’t it?
  • Tarot Talks

    I want to talk today about my journey with the Tarot and my first experience with learning the Tarot.

    At first, I had thought that the Tarot was just a deck of cards to learn from and use and that was it.

    I was wrong.

    I have been practicing with the Tarot for almost 5 years now. I didn’t think that I could learn more. Then, I found Reiki Reverend, Antonio Dixon on his old Etsy page. I saw that he had many different avenues for Reiki and Tarot practice that never have been out there before for the price!

    I ordered healing, reading, and also a course. It changed my whole perspective on everything. I got certified as an Akashic Records Reader, Tarot Master Teacher, and also Shamanic systems of healing as well.

    It has really opened up my whole spiritual wake up call.

    I knew that I was somewhat awake before I met him, but I am now more awake than ever.

    I see that after getting certified for the Tarot, that the cards were no longer just images with a few words attached to them. I found to my surprise, that they started to talk to me on new levels. I found when cleaning my room that one card was under my bed. It was the five of pentacles!

    I noticed that the card was reversed. At first, I thought nothing of it I thought okay I need to consider its messages. Shortly after, I remembered the meaning and read more about it. Then at work, it took on a whole new meaning. It almost became a portal, some type of a wakeup call and catalyst for change.

    I found that it was providing me a green light to let go and move forward.

    It gave me the breakdown and breakthrough that was needed for me to have to make inspired action. I started to think, “Hey I have this degree, I have these skills, why am I settling for a day job of 10 years that has been stale for so long?”

    I found that my job had been an incredible foundation for my life. It has taught me a lot. I gained many skills and had a career with it for some time. I found later though that it was keeping me poor in spiritual aspects, self- esteem, and so forth.

    I discovered this for myself during a heated experience between two people at work. I found for myself that I am not going down the path of my life purpose, nor taking present action for myself. I was allowing others making choices for me, twirling me around in the hamster wheel getting nowhere.

    I finally needed that slap in the face from having Antonio present and in my life, allowing me to grow and allowing spirit to remind me of the potential that awaits.

    I feel that Tarot can be used as a lifeline for those that need communication with the Great Spirit. That you are not going to be punished for using this divine tool, in fact, you will be awakened and rewarded for your efforts on an entirely new level.

    I invite you to contact me, and check out and his website to gain more understanding. A profound impact that is a Godsend for new and positive changes in your life.
