Big-Ass Faith

Posted by Raven

Sometimes life just takes big-ass faith.

Faith like a toy car with thick rubber bumpers, except you control the spin. But sometimes, it’s fun to spin and not know where you’ll stop. Sometimes I get out, yell at the car to go faster, slow down, be prettier, be easy, go straight, take the long way. Move. Stop.

It’s good to not know the answers. Better yet, to not know anything. Read the rest of this entry »

The Edge of Creation

Posted by Raven

When you can’t go forward and you can’t go backward and you can’t stay where you are without killing off what’s deep and vital in yourself, you are on the edge of creation.

–Sue Monk Kidd, from her incredible memoir, The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman’s Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine

The Ways of Love

Posted by Raven

The great thing about Mercury in retrograde is that my Gemini brain is immensely creative while things slow down externally. It helps me from climbing the walls.

This weekend, I’ve created two special Tarot readings all about love. And I love love, baby. They are for couples & singles (including my LGBT family) as we head into the fall season.

Read more about them here:

Spirit-Loved Singles Tarot Reading

Beautiful Couples Tarot Reading

It’s worth nothing that both come with discounted rates — good until the end of 2010 — if you buy more than one session.

Let me know what you think!

“Rose of Sharon, Crown of Stars”

Posted by Raven

Mary is generally depicted as having 12 stars around her but I included a final star to honor 13, the symbol of the Goddess [Maiden, Mother, Crone].

While researching “13″ as a connection to the Goddess, I stumbled across this very interesting article about Princess Diana and a possible connection to “13″.

I was in Paris the night of her death. When I returned the next weekend from the Pyrennes, I had never seen a city so plunged into mourning (until the morning of 9/11, of course). Posters of Diana plastered everywhere. The tunnel was closed and the Eiffel Tower surrounded with flowers. So many flowers…unbelievable.
