The Magician Card in the Tarot - Transforming Adversity into a Genuine Miracle

 "Therapists use terms like 'radical acceptance' and 'post-traumatic growth' to describe the work of taking adverse experiences and using them to grow." Jessica Dore, in the 2021 book "Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth."

Wisdom from the Tarot is optimistic. Essentially the messaging is about moving forward from the past, both its successes and failures, to potential. But, along the way, the subsconscious and the collective unconscious does a dump. It is frequently about some bit of adversity that remains unprocessed.

That can pop up when you do your own Tarot reading or a professional reader such as myself pulls the Magician card. Initially, you might feel overjoyed. Then if you are open there is a flickering of signals from another dimension. Those you can't ignore.

An example is a lawyer who didn't make partner in a large New York firm. For several years he went around picking up contract work practicing law. He was being eaten alive with feelings of shame. 

Then he had learned about Tarot and taught himself the basics. In a reading he did for himself signals began flickering. He "touched" the shame. 

He knew other lawyers who also had been forced out the big time also felt that. He enrolled in a Master's degree in psychiatric social work in a Manhattan university to become a therapist. His special area of expertise has been this: professionals who perceived they had experienced failure - and couldn't shake that. Of course, he has no shortage of business. The American brand of capitalism puts the blame on the individual for what doesn't pan out in a career.

This kind of growth, though, can be very uncomfortable. The challege is to stay with the emotional state, not run, and start on the necessary changes.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
