Embrace Your Inner Goddess... really
The following are excerpts from my book "The Divine Me", a 2023 release that is available at Amazon.
[excerpt]
From the chapter: The Goddess in Every Day• Saturday: let’s cleanse
Burn candles of black; burn incense of mimosa, hemp, and comfrey; carry in your pockets or adorn your body with black onyx, Apache tears, and obsidian.
Let’s work on… making ourselves feel safe, in whatever capacity this entails; taking extra precautions to secure our home; laying a line of defense against unexpected negativity; drawing boundaries that may be difficult but necessary to our wellbeing.
Kali ~ Hindu
Kali is the banshee screeching warrior goddess, the goddess of death and doom. The black goddess of revenge and bloodlust. But you gotta’ love her. It’s her energy that will fight to protect the innocent; it’s her energy that’s needed for retribution and accountability for the bad guys.
As the myth goes, Kali was born when she emerged from the forehead of the Goddess Durga and is believed to be the manifestation of that goddess’s anger. No wonder Kali has an attitude.
The most notable story I found on Kali involved her husband, Lord Shiva. After Kali was called upon to save the world by going on a rampage against a demon army led by Raktabija, she had herself so wrapped in murderous energy that she couldn’t stop herself and began destroying any living thing within her reach.
To cease this frenzied murder spree, her husband Shiva laid down in her path, blocking her way. Apparently, he thought that this would stop her. Silly idea. She was blinded to rationality and restraint, and she wildly started stomping the sh… er, bejeebers out of her own husband.
Oops.
Upon suddenly realizing her terrible mistake, overcome with remorse, laced with a wee bit of embarrassment, it’s said that she stuck out her bloody tongue. In some versions, it’s stated that she pulled her tongue out, either way, it makes for quite a visual.
[excerpt]
From the chapter: Facing the Mirror ~ How Do You Connect with Yourself
• Be aware of changes in your energy
Yes, learn to do this. It could save your life.
I was at a stop light in Fremont, Nebraska, southbound on Broad St. I was driving, my now ex-husband was sitting in the passenger seat. All of the sudden, yep, there it was, that “change” in energy. It’s so hard to describe because it can be so subtle. My reaction to it was that I froze. The red light turned green, and still, I sat there, frozen. My ex was shouting at me now, “Move, go!! The light is green!”
Nope, my body wouldn’t budge.
Within seconds, a car went speeding through a red light in front of us, west bound on 23rd St., at 60 or 70 miles an hour. If I would’ve been making my left hand turn onto this street, it would have broadsided us.
After this vehicle whooshed through this intersection, yep, there it was again, that weird change in energy. I was no longer frozen. I was also miffed at the man in the passenger seat and his attitude, so I turned to him calmly as he sat there now in shocked silence, open-mouthed, and I said, “Okay, now it’s time to move.”

Tarot for Grownups ~ that's what it means, it's not for kids
I have authored three tarot books, and these three tarot books are very different, each one uniquely focused on an aspect of the tarot that sets it apart from the other books. One of these books is apparently somewhat controversial: Tarot for Grownups. I remember offering a copy of this book to a woman who is in the new-age magazine publishing business, anxious to get her opinion on it, and when she finally messaged me back, the email was one sentence that said: "I don't get it."
That was disappointing, as well as a little confusing, as my intentions for this book were quite clear.
I had read an astrology book titled "The Dark Side of the Zodiac", and wow, was it ever. I loved it! We all know that Libra isn't always about beauty and love, sometimes she's a whore; and Aquarius isn't all new-agey and quirky and unique, sometimes she's a cold bitch. It's true, with all twelve signs, there is another side we were ignoring. I loved reading this book, it took reality and threw it all over the pages so it spilled out in recognizable personalities -- the good, the bad, and especially the ugly. It was refreshing!
So I decided to do the same thing with tarot, and I must say, I thought I was actually pretty gentle about it, because I could've been way more blunt -- way more. Yes, really.
Now, the negative side of the tarot is not usually a subject for focus, it's actually discouraged. It's mostly glossed over and ignored in the fluffy bunny white-light feel-good tarot community, but the tarot has a dark side, and so do we. I was tired of all the hoopla and attention being put on always being positive and upbeat and avoiding anything even remotely negative connected to the querent or the cards. Well, this attitude doesn't begin to approach real life, and this isn't doing your querent any good. Sometimes people need to hear the truth, even if it's nitty-gritty, kind of like a napkin with coffee stains on it. At least they can clearly see where the issues are and what needs attention to straighten out their energy and their lives.
People don't come to have a reading when their life is all hunky dory and their world is coming up roses. They come for a reading when they are in trouble, threatened, confused, vulnerable and sometimes hurting. They come for a reading when they need help, and they need some honest advice. They want answers, they don't want shiny new-age euphemisms.
So, voila... Tarot for Grownups.
I can always tell when someone has written a book review without thoroughly reading the book, especially when they get all high-horse and blunder the review. Case in point:
There was a ranting review left at Amazon complaining about the book being "all dark". The reviewer stated: "...it's all very well selling this book as a no nonsense, cut-and-dried kind of book but I felt that the author had a very negative approach with no positive traits in her descriptions of people."
Excuse me, Sarah. You didn't read the book, did you? Come on, you can tell me, you glossed through it, didn't you?
- On page 95, paragraph two:
"In the section of this book identifying the court cards, my intention was to concentrate on the dark side, because it's this side that we so often need more insight into and it's this side that causes all the problems; but for the purpose of choosing a significator, we also have to recognize the positive aspects of our own personality, and I'm going to give you a brief description here of the lighter side, the softer edge, to the court cards."
And then I do just that.
Today's Bonus Readings ~ Letting go, shutting up, cooperating
As the title suggests, todays Bonus readings are a strange range and mix of warnings. And as it seems sometimes, oddly enough, all three readings could apply to a single individual. Take what resonates with you -- but don't leave the rest behind, as so many tarot youtubers like to say. Spirit gives us these messages for a reason, and if they don't apply right at the moment, odds are you will run into them in the near future -- be prepared, and wear your seatbelt.

Changing things up, bucking the system, & making your voice heard
There's a lot going on in all three of these readings, and as you may be able to feel yourself from the title, all three of these readings may apply to a single individual. There's a tremendous amount of energy here that matches and it's pulling someone to step out of the shadows... What is it you REALLY want to be doing? Do you have the strength and determination to buck an old system? Would a change in a relationship and its dynamics be so bad? Think about it.
