From Royal to Nun - The Extreme Saga of Prince Philip's Mother

Now we have the 54th anniversary of the death of Princess Alice of Battenberg (or as she was also known "Prince Andrew," when she took the name of husband Prince Andrew, a royal in Greece). 

You might already have bonded with her during Series 3 of "The Crown." In an episode she is positioned and packaged as saving the British monarchy from being pushed aside as out-of-touch. And their funding cut. 

Her son Prince Philip (husband of Elizabeth II and father of current King Charles) had done a botched job of trying to make the House of Windsor seem relevant. That was through a BBC documentary. It was soundly knocked. the royals were experienced as wooden. Soon afterward, her interview with the media fixed that wonderfully. My my, this charming nun who compulsively smoked and who had been the wringer over and over again, charmed the pants off the reporter. She was back in England because there was a political coup in Greece. A royal there, she was a target.



As in the messaging of the Tarot the saga of Princess Alice was about, from the get-go at birth in Windsor Castle, the transformative power of adversity. 

She was born deaf. That wasn't diagnosed until she was eight years old. "They" assumed she was slow. The They included Queen Victoria who was her great grandmother.  

Eventually a royal in Greece she and her family had been exiled twice. 

As could have been expected, she cracked up and was separated from her five children. Given the brutal treatment for mental illness in those days, her greatest challenge had been moving on from all that to figuring out a mission. She founded a nursing order of nuns the Christian Sisters of Martha and Mary. Along the way she saved Jews during the Hitler purge.  

Not one of my Tarot clients has as yet such an extraordinary story. But many of them have bumped up against the force field of adversity. At first it winded them. But those who caught back their breath and who remained open have been able to get to the other side of the ordeal with an edge in life and often professionally. 

The good news is that adversity is a gift the universe distributes with abundance. Most of us have a shot at doing something big - and meaningful.

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-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
