Meet “The Hermit” Card
The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “9” – The Hermit Maybe it’s time to take a retreat from the world to pursue more spiritual wisdom and insight. The wilderness may beckon you toward a search that is more subtle, slowly unfolding, and timeless in nature; it’s the antithesis to the hurried, forced motions of modern life. When the Hermit card appears, it is a call to evaluate your level of social interaction, as well as the connection you feel to your own inner light. If you are closing yourself off you may...
read moreProof that the Universe does make personal phone calls.
I never knew just how much magic could be packed into a phone call—from a stranger, no less—until Jamie Morris’ Florida number appeared on my cell phone one Saturday evening in June. But that call was packed with enough sparks to prove that sometimes the Universe does respond to ultimatums. Earlier that day, my beloved women’s circle had gathered. When it was my turn to share, I found myself confessing my feelings about my recent Kickstarter project’s lack of funding. “I received such an amazing outpouring, so much love and...
read moreMeet the “Strength” Card
The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “8” – Strength It’s time to tame your animal nature in the interest of your spiritual journey… or to submit your spiritual drive to the needs of your “animal” body. Spirit and body mingle through the field of emotion to create the compass for our life experience, and to deny either is to invite dysfunction and ill health. As long as your feelings and bodily impressions are in service to your spirit, and vice versa, then you can live a life of compassionate...

The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “7” – The Chariot You’re feeling in the flow and catching some of the Universe’s wind in your sails. With a little faith and a little will, you are riding a rushing wave to your goals. Instead of questioning or controlling the process, you do your very best to keep up with the wild ride you’re on.

The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “6” – The Lovers You are at a crossroads. You have to choose one direction, or find a way to merge multiple paths into one ideal. There is no place that this is more challenging than in love and relationships; often we find ourselves in a position where me must make a choice about love, or in the name of love. Remember that communication is a key to finding your way to the right path; let your heart have its say. Ultimately there is no one right or wrong answer, as long...

The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “5” – The House of the Seeker You are on the path of the seeker; it’s time to expand your studies. Whether you do this through education, scientific exploration, or a personal unfolding of experience, you are relating your personal path and experience to the world around you—asking questions, comparing perspectives, making hypotheses, and seeking tutelage from the appropriate masters. Be careful in your journey not to fall into the trap of dogmatism or to take the easy...

Don’t be satisfied with any barrier to your success; you have the power to achieve your visions, your dreams.

Don’t ask others for permission… If you lead, they will follow. Take charge, trust in your...

Tenderness and patient tending can grow your seeds, as can the understanding that we are all...
