Five of Pentacles R signals that you are coming out of a difficult time and beginning to heal from it. You’re finding your way back to yourself and meaningful connections. Remember that abundance and genuine connection come from truth to self.

For #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth, I wrote about the importance of BIPOC Joy via a little-known indie romance movie, Sueno (2005), that has brown joy, cinnamon roll heroes, women supporting women & magical realism. What’s not to love?

Death Reversed signals a profound internal change. This is a significant psychic shift and personal cleansing. It might feel scary right now—all big changes are. But it’s important that you lean into this period of transition.

Upright or reversed, the Sun is the most positive card in the deck, a sign of good things to come. The Sun R asks you to let the sunshine in. Get in touch with your inner child and get playful. There is plenty of joy all around you.

King of Swords invites you to use your head. You have a sharp intellect. Use it to think through your next step. Now is not the time to get carried away in flights of fancy. Instead, use your keen mind to imagine a new way forward.

I love it when readers find the medicine they need in my books. That is the epitome of book magic: finding the book you need exactly when you need it.

Five of Cups enters your life when you feel things haven’t turned out as you wanted them to. Feel what you need to feel, then move on. There is new magic afoot if only you shift your focus to what is possible, not what is lost.

Let’s talk rom-com magic! In this post I explore the historical, social and personal context of a good rom-com, the yucks and yums of the genre, and what can make it truly magical…all with a handy infographic.

The Lovers Reversed is all about self-love. Appreciate who you are and the magic you are capable of conjuring. Restore balance in all parts of your life so you can feel whole again.

Queen of Pentacles R is all about self-care. She’s asking you to give yourself the same amount of nourishment and care that you do your loved ones. Abundance comes from slowing down and giving your time to the things & people that really matter.

Last month, I enjoyed a histrom with delightful banter, a soothing BIPOC cozy witchy romantasy & a destination wedding romcom.

I would shop there:
"We will carry a selection of clothing for all your needs: daring dresses you did not have the ass for at 20, comfortable muumuus, witch corner, actual fucking cotton, pajamas that double as evening pants, and 'I feel Victorian today'."

The reviews are rolling in, and I am delighted by how much my book has resonated with readers looking to explore the tarot in a non-intimidating way. Have you ever conversed with the tarot?

The Page of Swords R reminds you that you don’t always have to be on guard. In fact, your current issues likely stem from your fear of being vulnerable. You have a quick wit and sharp mind—use those to imagine possibilities, not feed anxiety.

Hanged Man R asks you to slow down and look at the world from a different perspective. You might be feeling stuck or like things in your life keep getting put on hold. Rather than fight the feeling, surrender. Let your energy flow freely to find a simpler solution.

Re-enchant your life with Carterhaugh School of Folklore & the Fantastic's Enchant course, which uses fairy tales & folklore to conjure everyday magic & includes my Enchant Tarot series that shows magic-seekers how to converse with the tarot to explore our personal fairytales.

@CarterhaughLLC asked those taking Everyday Magic Challenge an important question: What fairy tale are you?

My mind went immediately to the tarot, which is its own folktale. In fact, you can re-enchant your life with the tarot and folklore...

Moon R celebrates your return to self. Those shadows magnified by moonlight are just old self-doubt that, in the light of day, have no power. You’re learning to appreciate your unique magic. Keep working through those difficult emotions with the help of the moon.

Two of Pentacles R says you’ve got a lot on your plate! But don’t worry—you’re capable of juggling things IF you focus on your priorities & let go of distractions. It’s time to focus on work-life wellbeing. Success comes from balance.
