Gaining A Little Insight With The Insight Tarot

Shuffling Through The Shamanic Healing Oracle Deck

Having recently read with and reviewed ‘The Empathic Oracle‘, I was very keen to get my hands on further work by Michelle Mortuzas. Printed by Red Feather/ Schiffer, The Shamanic Healing Oracle Card deck is a symbolic tool for intuition derived from the concept of Shamanism.

Shamanism

These days, shamanism is seen as a tool to tap into energies which may assist with the struggles of daily life.…

Exploring The Empathic Oracle

Whilst I’m a keen tarot reader, I also like to delve into alternative methods of divination such as oracle cards – I often find that oracle cards often add an extra layer of information and clarification to a traditional tarot reading which can prove useful.

Steve Wilson is an ordained Spiritualist Minister Shamanic healer, psychic teacher, and paranormal investigator, whereas Michelle Motuzas is a psychic medium, Shamanic practitioner, and intuitive artist and their combined work has resulted in a very simple but delightful deck.…

Flicking Through The Modern Witch Tarot Journal

Given that I write a blog, you may well have guessed that I am quite keen on the idea of journaling. Until now, I’ve only used a very basic notepad to jot down any notes during tarot readings and though I like to keep a record of my readings, I never really had the media to do so.

Last week Liminal 11 very kindly sent me a copy of The Modern Witch Tarot Journal to review and to make use of during my readings and boy – what a difference it has made!
