Can Tarot cards be used to set intentions--bringing you more of what you want (and less of what you don't)?
They sure can!
In my latest Say It With Tarot Podcast episode, I talk about Quantum Physics and how Tarot cards can serve as mini vision boards.
What do you want more of today?
Happy Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the Mexican army's unexpected victory over the French in the battle of Puebla (they were greatly outnumbered). Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT Mexico's day of independence (that's 9/16). Here's a Tarot spread I created I created for you to use:

I've already made a necklace, bracelet and earrings from this kit--and there's more beads left (which means more design fun for me!)
Stumbled on this lovely clip from the Today Show, marking coinciding holy holidays among the three Abrahamic religions:
What do you feel is an uplifting common thread in the tapestry of religion?

I've made some Artist Trading Cards recently (aka ATCs)--and hubby did one, too. Here's the video of my show and tell:
Have you ever made ATCs? What have you done with them after you've made them?
I haven't Googled myself or my work for years, so I'm just now discovering some reviews of my last book Naked Tarot.
In print, a review from Rahvym Corvus appears in the latest edition of Witches and Pagans Magazine (#39).
Online, Raushanna posted a review in the same year my book came out (2018) at PaganPages.org.
At 110K+ pages, Naked Tarot was (is) truly a labor of love. If you've read it, let me know in the comments below what you've learned from it.
Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged! :o) Been relaxing into Earth energy by creating with paper and making junk journals. Here's two videos, one showing the unembellished version:
and the finished, blinged-out version:
This handmade journal is available in our ChezBoyer Etsy Shop here.
What have YOU been creating lately? Do share in the comments below!
Not sure what got me on the Junk Journaling path earlier this year, but here I am. Any other junk journal junkies out there?
My first junk journal was for Halloween and had a macabre "embalmer/funeral director" theme. Here's a flip through of the finished product (I gave it to an online acquaintance):
Yesterday, I finished stitching a Christmas Junk Journal (my 2nd full-length one). Flip through below:
Haven't shared much of my jewelry designs on here (I've been making jewelry for over two years now)--so I'm applying that to making ephemera for junk journals--for example, "journal jewelry", "bling" or dangles (as they're often called. Here's two sets below (might make some for Christmas), that are in our ChezBoyer Etsy Shop here:
Also, some beaded and fabric tassels (found here):
But I admit--my favorite media to work with these days are paper, ink and string. It grounds me--the complete opposite of writing. Elementally speaking if writing is Air (and some Fire, for motivation)--then Junk Journaling (and paper crafting) is Earth, with a good dose of Water.
And interesting flip, considering I was so Air/Fire for so long.
I'm glad for the "balancing"--and grounding. It suits me now.
For now.
