Happy day after Christmas, first day of Kwanzaa, Boxing
Day, beginning of the liminal week before New Years. Anything I forgot? Happy that, too. As much as I look forward to Christmas, I admit I love the day after when I can just sit, nibble on feast leftovers and enjoy.
As we move through these last days before a new year begins I have something special to offer and some things to share.
Shall we?

I am very excited to share this with you.
Your Arcana Year readings are now available!
As I have talked about before, I have a personal yearly ritual of choosing a Major Arcana from the Tarot as a theme and companion for the
year. Each year the Arcana that steps forward supports me as guide and a lens through which to view my life. Over the years they have offered grounding, insight, and deeper understanding of myself and my life.
Your Arcana Year is my way of sharing this magic with you.
If you are not
familiar, Tarot is a card system used for clarity and guidance. It is an oracular tool of symbol, story, and myth offering insight and reflection. The deck has two parts, the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana is made of 22 archetypes representing the soul’s journey wholeness, while the Minor Arcana represents the situations and challenges of daily life. This reading uses the archetypes of the Major Arcana.

As I prepare to close my year with the Fool, my personal Arcana this year, I am left with many gifts to take with me into 2026.
The most tender is the reminder to connect with my sense of wonder. No small thing given the world as it is. But, it shored up my courage to make some
choices that might not make sense to anyone else, but have added adventure and new horizons for me to explore.
With the Fool by my side I've become less concerned about outcomes and more interested in leaping into new ideas and projects. My Arcana Year is one of them. The Fool has also bee especially present in my creative life. So much new life is
bubbling there.
I am deeply grateful for the many ways The Fool as opened a new, playful kind of courage I have not felt in a very long time.
I am looking forward to seeing what The Lovers, my Arcana for
2026, have for me.

Maybe you are wondering what working with a card that doesn't have such a buoyant reputation, like say The Devil, might be like. My Devil year a few years back was one of shadow work and liberation. Emphasis on liberation. Where ever there
is shadow there gifts and power to reclaim. For me, it was a time of honest reckoning with my limiting patterns and reclamation of freedom and wholeness that comes with integrating back what has been rejected or avoided. Also, I'll just say, The Devil loves a lusty time, so its not at all serious business with this guy.
Of course each of us will have a different relationship and journey with any of the Arcana, and what I know is there are no good or bad Arcana. Every one, even the ones that seem difficult, or our culture tells is bad or
evil- especially those- offer unexpected gifts we can't find in other places. Tarot is not about morality but about living, and as such includes its joys and challenges.
This is what I find most helpful about Tarot. It reflects life back to us from there we each get to choose what to make of it.

Bonus: I have made a 12 month journal. I wanted a place to keep my insights and journey with my 2026 Arcana- The Lovers. I thought you might like one to, so customized for each
Arcana and it will accompany your reading. Each month has inspiration and prompts for deepening your relationship with yourself and your Arcana.
