Epiphanies
A night sky with a guiding star.
Today is Christmas Eve. Tomorrow, the Twelve Days of Christmas begin, which end on January 5. January 6 marks Epiphany, or Three Kings Day. I love the idea of a holiday season versus a single day. I love that Hanukkah is eight days, that Kwanzaa is seven, and Christmas is twelve. I think if we can have a specific spiritual focus over a designated time period, we create an opportunity for real inspiration and enlightenment.
I also love the word ‘epiphany’ as it has come to be used secularly, to describe an ‘ah-ha moment’ or a psychic download. Whatever holidays you celebrate at this time of year, my family and I wish you the brightest and best of celebrations. And, since the season of Epiphany is upon us, I wish you spiritual connection, creative inspiration, and opportunities for new perspective and understanding.
A fairy looking forward to StaarCon 6.
The StaarCorner
Happy Holidays to our entire StaarCon community!
The StaarCon 5 AfterGlow ends on January 26, 2026. Please plan to watch all the conference presentations before then. We will also have a few lounge sessions before the end as well.
I want to thank the teachers who have shared their wisdom with us this year, both at the conference and in the lounge sessions throughout the year. 2026 will bring significant changes for StaarCon that I think we will all enjoy and appreciate.

Tarot Epiphanies
In 2021, I committed to a livestream in which I drew cards for ‘tarot epiphanies’ each day of the Twelve Days of Christmas, except on Christmas Day itself. Something I learned from this is that I will think twice before I commit to livestreaming that many days in a row.
The other thing I learned is that the practice of pulling a single card from the deck twelve days in a row and interpreting it as an epiphany, or something that would lead to an epiphany, was a fascinating exercise.
Interpreting cards in context is an important tarot skill. When that context is ‘epiphany,’ we create a huge opportunity to welcome transformative thinking.
While I often ask tarot students to practice the Card of the Day technique, a card of epiphany for twelve days is a very different assignment. I plan to try this exercise this year, not as a livestream but simply as a personal practice. Perhaps you will join me and share your results!
