Jack of All Trades, Master of None: Tarot Edition (aka, no, I can’t do a synastry reading)

Spoiler alert: I can only wear one hat at a time. And by hat, I mean: doing a tarot reading.

“You are so spot-on!” the email read. My heart swelled. I always like to hear I’ve nailed an email reading… it’s hard to know sometimes.

2 minutes later…I was surprised to get another email in my inbox from the same person. It was a surprise not because I had already provided clarification and she confirmed what I had said was true…

… but because she was asking to purchase a service that I don’t do. Nowhere on my website did I or do I guarantee, promise, or otherwise deceive that I am anything more than a tarot reader. I read tarot. That’s what I do. That’s what all my services are based around: reading your cards, or teaching you how to read tarot, or teaching you how to combine tarot cards and spell-work. But the common denominator? Always tarot.

Yet I am constantly facing a barrage of emails or in-person requests for astrology, mediumship, past-life regression, or spell-casting (on behalf of someone else). Where do I advertise this? Nowhere. But people just assume that I can do it all. And while that’s flattering, it’s certainly far from the truth.

The Simpsons would know better than me what your past life was.

It was hard to choose my favorite blog posts, but I was able to do it based on site stats, general popularity, and which ones were my personal favorites to write. Without further ado…

10. Lessons from Boy Meets World and a Return to Regular Programming

Oh, reruns of Boy Meets World, can there EVER be enough of you? Me stumbling across the episode “Quiz Show” on MTV2 during a bout of procrastination yielded this blog post, all about investing time and energy in worthy pursuits (like my tarot business and my blogging) and less time used up by my addiction to Candy Crush.

On select Fridays, I’ll be posting a few links that are currently rocking my world.


I love Carolyn Elliot’s work on BAD WITCHES, so it was absolutely no surprise that I adored this article on medium.com: 17 Bizarre Philosophies that Made me $10,000 last month (with accompanying music videos)
Utterly delicious and infinitely re-readable, I consider it an article on belief rather than manifesting money (but there’s some of that in there, too).
