What Feeds You?
In the United States, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Traditionally, this is a time for friends and family to enjoy a meal together and contemplate their gratitude for food, shelter, and one another.
Thanksgiving is also considered the beginning of what I like to call the ‘Winter Festival Season’. Whatever you celebrate, and whatever your feelings about this time of year, I wish you the happiest, merriest, and most blessed holiday season. I want to you to know one of the things I am most grateful for is you. That is, those of you who read my newsletters, join me on YouTube, have sessions with me, attend StaarCon, read my books, and support my work in whichever ways make sense to you. Without you, I could not do the work I love so much.
When I think about Thanksgiving, I think first about the traditional foods, and our enjoyment of them. Yet, since Thanksgiving is about so much more than food, my contemplation turns to the things that feed us mentally, creatively, and spiritually.
I am grateful that the work I do feeds me so well. Tarot stimulates my creativity, my spirituality, my intellect, and my social needs. I know that not everyone is lucky enough to have a career that engages them on so many levels.
Our jobs do not have to be what feeds the soul as long as they put food on the table. We may have hobbies, fellowships, studies, or other pursuits that feed us more deeply.
One thing I notice at the tarot table is that some people have yet to figure out what feeds them beyond their physical needs. They do not know what sings to their soul or warms their heart.
On this Thanksgiving, give thanks for what feeds your mind and your spirit. If you don’t know what that is, commit to that search. The journey will be as delightful as the discovery.

Finding What Feeds Your Soul
Tarot can be a great tool to help you discover your passions, your talents, and the things that make you happy. You can ask questions of tarot or have a professional reading on this topic.
Here are some questions to your cards, or to ask a reader.
What would make me happy at this moment?
What is a talent I have yet to discover?
What is something I enjoyed as a child that I need to revisit?
How can I find a sense of spiritual joy?
How can I make new friends?
How can I explore my creativity?

From Around the Web
Bianca Tarot on YouTube named me one of her favorite Tarot/Psychic Readers!
When we speak of finding what feeds our soul, we may be looking for our passion in life. Emerald Lotus has a lovely tarot spread for Discovering Your Passion.
Mindbodygreen.com has share 99 Deep Questions to Ask a Tarot Deck During Your Next Reading. These questions are great for learning more about tarot, and about yourself.
Guidance on the Journey
There are so many cards that invite and instruct us to find our passions, consider our desires, and engage our creative energy.
The Nine of Cups is the traditional ‘Wish Card’. This card can ask you what your wishes are and can remind you that your desires are important.
Many readers also see the Star as a card of wishes and wishes fulfilled.
The Two of Wands and the Seven of Cups can both be viewed as cards that ask us what we want to manifest in our lives.
The Ace of Wands seeks to ignite our passions and encourages us to start new projects.
There are also cards that point out that we have not found what we are seeking. For example, the Four of Cups may suggest that we seek out something more engaging, and more exciting, than what we have so far discovered. The Eight of Cups suggests that it may be time to walk away from the past, and journey toward something new.
Judgement, of course, suggests closure to the past, and being open to a reawakening.
The theme of discovery, and the search for soul satisfaction, is inherent in the stories told by tarot, and in the messages of many cards. Perhaps this is because we are all driven to find the things that feed the soul.
