Sample 3 Card Bridge Reading Video

I’ve been wanting to put together a 3 card reading video for awhile, but time got away from me with this campaign! For fun I just put something together today, doing a reading for myself about the unfolding direction of my creative path (as regards the project, specifically) post-Indiegogo. Returning to this reading a full day later I see even more information in the cards than I did before. If you have any interpretations you’d like to add, feel free to share in the comments! 3 Card Bridge Spread Reading with The Portland Tarot...

Meet the “Death” Card

The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “13” – Death You’ve turned a corner into a new land. This is the domain of Death and she beckons to you to embrace change. This change may be painful, perhaps it is difficult to engage in the process of re-invention… Ultimately, though, this change is necessary for you to evolve, to become who you are now meant to be. Fight it and it may well feel like dying… Surrender and you may actually be able to see all the color and joy this change will bring into your world....

Meet the “Justice” Card

The Portland Tarot Majors – A Daily Commute Day “11” – Justice It’s time to take an honest accounting of the situation at hand, but be sure to keep compassion in the mix; not everything in life is a simple matter of black and white—there are shades of gray present in the workings of karma. A weighing is taking place, and it might just be you weighing yourself against your own expectations or faulty perceptions.

How a young girl reminded me about the truth of dreams, reality, and love.

How a young girl reminded me about the truth of dreams, reality, and love.

Today, I want to tell you a story. It’s a story about yearning, dreaming, making, shamanic journeying, and love. Because, without love, why bother? Once there was a little girl who was a maker. Her interests were deep and wide. She painted, she wrote, she put on plays. Entrepreneurially-minded, she offered neighborhood face-painting events, toy-box “garage” sales, and homemade carnivals. She looked for any excuse to make. And make BIG. She could have settled for crayons and markers; instead she made rocket ships out of old refrigerator...
