Silver and Gold
As we approach the New Year, we are grateful for the people in our lives.
An illustration of a Christmas Tree in the Snow.
This is the penultimate weekly newsletter of 2024. As the year draws to a close, we reflect on all that happened in 2024; the things that were difficult, and the things for which we are grateful.
One of the things I am most grateful for is you. Thank you for supporting the work I do.
I often joke that the reason I love reading for people is that I long to know what is going on in people’s lives. I am intensely curious, but I am not a malicious gossip. I want to know what is going on because I want good things for everyone. The process of working with tarot can provide a lot of information that leads us to good things. And the relationships we develop with our tarot friends, students, teachers, readers, and clients are so valuable.
In preparing for Christmas, I happened to hear the old song, “Silver and Gold,” from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. That made me think of a Girl Scout song, that also mentions silver and gold. The lyrics are simple. “Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.”
That ties into the theme of that Christmas song by the same name. The people we care about are the most precious gifts in our lives.
Sometimes we need to set boundaries, and that can be difficult. Sometimes we lose loved ones and that can be devastating. Our long-term friends and family members are our story-keepers. When we lose them, we lose a part of ourselves. Yet the value they bring into our lives makes the risk of difficulty and loss acceptable.
Often during the holidays we focus on the recipes, the gifts, the wardrobe, and the decorations. All those things can be marvelous. Yet, the thing that makes this time of year so special is that we take time to gather with one another, and to let our loved ones know how much we value them.
For those who are lonely or dealing with loss, this season can be a painful reminder of happier times or unfulfilled wishes. That is why I love the line from the Girl Scout song that reminds us to make new friends. Wonderful new people can come into our lives at any time, in any season, and at any age. They are always a gift when they do!
My family and I wish you and your family the happiest of holiday seasons, and a wonderful new year. This newsletter will continue throughout the holidays, and through StaarCon. The “Making Magic” column has now ended. After StaarCon, we will begin a new weekly column. What topic would you like to see us explore in 2025?

Your Seventy-Eight Friends
Many new tarot students are overwhelmed with the idea of learning seventy-eight cards. When they realize that each card can have many different meanings, they become even more discouraged. Here is what I tell them to make it easier.
Learning tarot is like making seventy-eight new friends. You won’t learn everything about them all at once. At first, you learn their names and what they look like. Then, over time, you get to know them. Each time you see them, you learn more about them. You create relationships with them over time.
If you allow your relationship with each tarot card to develop the same way friendships do, you will have much less frustration, and a lot more fun!

Five Steps for Intuition
We had a fascinating conversation about intuition at our tarot meetup. Here is some of what we learned.
Concept illustration of intuitive guidance.
We had a fascinating conversation about intuition at our monthly tarot meetup at Panera Bread in Palm City this past Sunday. We wanted to come up with some practical steps for engaging intuition in tarot reading and in life.
I was impressed with the collective wisdom of our group. I wish I had been prepared to take notes because so many good ideas were flying around the room.
We ended up making a list of things to do to engage intuition without explicitly trying to do this. Interestingly, this list does not contain some things you would expect. For example, no one suggested meditation as a way of increasing intuition.
I think we are all increasingly frustrated with the advice to “trust your intuition” with no accompanying practical advice on what that means.
The first step that was mentioned is to become a good listener. Listen deeply to your client in a reading. Listen clearly to what you are saying to yourself. Quiet yourself enough to hear your inner voice of guidance.
Next, pay attention to what you feel in your body. Truth and untruth will resonate in your body. Different people feel it in different ways. Learn what the truth feels like in your body.
The third thing we discussed was logic. What place does logic have in the intuitive process? We often talk about disconnect and conflict between the heart and the head. Yet, accurate intuition can often be enabled by logical thought. Much of the time, the truth will be logical. Some of the time, it won’t be. Logic is a good tool to help us consider what might be possible as we work to discover what is true. In a tarot reading, logic works with intuition to help us understand the context in which to interpret the card.
The fourth thing we discussed is detachment. The voices of fear and desire are intuition-killers. We discussed various ways to bring ourselves to a place of compassionate detachment to hear our intuition clearly.
Finally, we discussed ways in which we not only hear our intuition but also see signs to guide us, both in our mind’s eye and as we move through our daily lives. This is especially helpful in tarot, where we may visually perceive the same card differently from reading to reading.
It became clear that we each had different experiences and experienced intuition uniquely. For example, some people find that their first thought is usually correct, and subsequent thoughts come from second-guessing. For others, the first thought is a reaction rather than a truth. We must each take time to see how we hear and see guidance most easily.
The value of these conversations in community cannot be understated. Likewise is the value of the collective wisdom that comes from the community.

Intuitive Tarot
What is intuitive tarot reading, and how does it work? Some professional readers use tarot in their readings but have never studied the cards. They let the images and colors stimulate their intuition. While I believe that without solid tarot knowledge, they only get half the story, it is indeed powerful to know that, very often, a person with no classic understanding of the cards can still use them to find wisdom.
I see this in beginner tarot classes when I ask people who have never seen the cards to pull a card and say what they think it is telling them. Often, what they are inspired to say is both relevant to them and akin to traditional keywords and interpretations.
For me, intuition works hand in hand with class interpretive skills. Here are two of the ways that can happen.
Intuition tells us which of the many possible meanings for a card is most appropriate. Intuition tells us of all the matters presented by the cards in a spread, which is most pressing.
Interpretation gives us the basics of the story. Intuition gives the story color and texture.

Making Magic
Can we do magic to increase intuition? Yes, there are many ways to do this. One of my favorites is to work with herbs. The way we use herbs in magic is so versatile. We can burn incense or oils, wear oils, drink teas and tinctures, and sprinkle herbs anywhere.
Which herbs are best to encourage intuition? I like damiana, mugwort, rosemary, frankincense, and lavender best.
It is easy to experiment to see which fragrances and flavors seem to stimulate intuition for you.

Angels Among Us
The word "angel" can mean many different things. This week, we are talking about the magic that happens when we show up for one another.
Photo of a child helping another child.
We often talk about angels, yet we are not always clear about what we mean. Some people use this term to describe those who have passed on and watch over us, and some use it to describe non-human mythical creatures from sacred texts. Others work with archangels in prayer, meditation, and divination.
We also use this term to describe the experience when an unexpectedly helpful human appears at precisely the right time.
Most of us have felt gratitude for that person who steps in when help is needed most. Many of us have been that person in planned and unplanned ways. When I was young, I was told this is what we mean when we say we are “God’s hands on Earth.” I think about Fred Rogers’ advice to children: in times of trouble, look for the helpers.
When someone swoops in to save us, we call them an angel. What if that is true on a level deeper than metaphoric?
I always loved the phrase “random acts of kindness.” When we consciously try to practice this and are willing to help when situations arise, I believe we connect ourselves to our spiritual power. We might think of this as karma or simply a reward for being a good person. But the trick is that kindness that seeks reward is not kind.
We cannot practice kindness to seek spiritual favor, but we can be aware that when we are truly kind, spiritual favor seeks us.
Sometimes, we feel called to do a great service. Is that a higher power recruiting us to be an angel on Earth?
As much as we are capable of hurting one another, we are equally capable of great acts of kindness and service. When we look for the angels among us and when we allow ourselves to be someone’s angel, we make a difference on the planet, both practically and energetically.
I have not had experience with talking fiery shrubbery or winged creatures with flaming swords. But I have seen real kindness and expertise show up to save me when I needed it most, and I have tried to be that for others. The magic and spiritual power of these human angels among us is, to me, way more awe-inspiring than any ancient myth.

StaarCon 2024 AfterGlow
Access to the presentations' recordings will end on January 20. In the meantime, we will have a few more lounge events before the end of the AfterGlow and the beginning of the StaarCon 5 preconference.
On Thursday, December 12, at 5:30 pm ET, Join Serena Fox and me in the Mystic Lounging with Serena Fox lounge as we celebrate “Decks-ember.” We will talk about our favorite decks, our least favorite decks, and how our relationships with our cards work.
StaarCon 5
StaarCon 5 will feature a full track of virtual presenters, two tracks of presenters live streaming from the hotel in West Palm Beach, and a track that offers in-person experiences and pre-recorded videos for those watching online.
This means that whether you are joining us in person or online, there will be plenty to experience during the three-day conference and the 365-day AfterGlow.
Just added to our roster of virtual presenters is Queen Auset-Heru, a Priestess of Ma’at, the spiritual system of the ancient Kemetians. Queen is a tarot reader and clairvoyant who has been working professionally since 1999. She will join us from her home in Costa Rica.
We are very excited to learn from her and welcome her to the StaarCon community!

Tarot Spread for Finding Help
Sometimes, our need for an angel is immediate. Other times, however, it’s strategic. We have time to gather a team, find the right doctor, hire a handyperson, or make a new friend. Tarot can help us in this search.
Here is a tarot spread to use to help find the person you need. Arrange the cards any way you like.
Let Card One help you understand your needs.
Let Card Two show you what it looks like with this need unfulfilled.
Let Card Three show you what sort of person might fill this need.
Let Card Four show you what you need to know to find this person.
Let Card Five show you what this person will need from you.
You might find you need to pull a few cards for each position and blend their meanings.

Little Red Tarot has a full tarot library that is available online for free.
Early tarot texts are available online at Sacred Texts.

Making Magic
Many rituals and practices are available for drawing heavenly angels near us. But what can we do to summon an angel on Earth? Is there a spiritual 911 we can use to call for help when our cell phones aren’t enough?
Sometimes, the help we need is not a hand in a crisis; it’s a community of friends that sustains us.
Whether I am hoping to find people to attend an event or looking for travel directions when I have no cell signal, the magic I use is the same.
I call it “The Beacon”.
I picture a light above my head, like a searchlight, attracting in the people I need, like moths to a flame.
This has always worked when I needed it. For this reason, I never fear being alone or not having the help I need. I also try to do the inverse of this by staying alert for the “psychic distress calls” of others.

Faith
Faith. When we need it most, it is hardest to have.
A flower growing in the crack of the pavement.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States, and our thoughts turn to gratitude. Of course, one of the things I am most grateful for is the work I do. Thank you for making that possible and for being a valued part of my community.
Something else I am thinking about this week is faith. I have been actively embracing two pieces of wisdom about faith.
One tricky thing about faith is that it is the hardest to have when we need it the most. This can be true whether we need faith in ourselves, in an outcome, or in something bigger than ourselves.
When we are experiencing a difficult time, we need to remember that the difficulty will make it harder to have the faith we need. So often, we compound our problem by feeling guilty and bereft that we are having trouble mustering faith. Normalizing this struggle does a lot to help us find the opening that lets the light of faith shine in.
The second bit of wisdom is specific to my work with tarot cards, but the concept is spiritually imperative for all of us,
The work I do requires me to have a lot of faith. I must believe in myself, my skills, the magic of the tarot, and the guidance of those in spirit. My integrity requires me to believe fully in the process I use for my clients. The trust others put in me deserves nothing less.
So, every day, I intentionally start the day with a healthy dose of skepticism. It doesn’t feel like a sad loss of faith but rather an open-mindedness. Each day, I ask the universe to prove my work is valuable, accurate, and appropriate. This gives me full faith and confidence in what I offer others.
When something earns our faith, it is important to question it regularly over time. High-control religions discourage questioning things of faith. The church I was raised in taught me something different. If where we place our faith is worthy of faith, it can stand up to rigorous questioning.

The StaarCorner
StaarCon 2024 AfterGlow
The StaarCon 2024 AfterGlow continues until January 20. Until then, you can watch recordings of StaarCon presentations, shop at the expo, and meet your friends in the lounges.
Stay tuned for more exciting events! We will have at least one more scheduled lounge event before the end of the AfterGlow. Keep an eye on this newsletter, the StaarCon website, and our Community Group on Facebook for all the details.
57 Days Until StaarCon 5!
Katrina Wynne, a beloved tarot reader with many decades of experience, has been an integral part of StaarCon since our inception.
In tarot, we have a “Year Card,” which is derived numerically and gives us guidance, wisdom, and inspiration for the year. Since StaarCon happens in January each year, Katrina has taken on the task of helping us understand and utilize each year's card in her presentation.
During 2024, the Year of Strength, Katrina hosted quarterly meetings in her lounge so StaarCon attendees could gather and discuss how the Year of Strength was going for them.
2025 is the Year of the Hermit. Katrina will explain this in her StaarCon presentation and then host quarterly meetings in the AfterGlow.
We are grateful to Katrina for creating this fabulous StaarCon tradition and are so excited that she will help us make the most of the Year of the Hermit.

What Faith Do You Have in Tarot?
I don’t like it when people talk about “belief” in tarot. I do not need to “believe” in tarot any more than I need to believe in my stove or my automobile. Tarot exists, and I use it.
Faith is a different story. How much faith should we put in the cards’ ability to speak to a situation? How much faith should we put in our ability to interpret and intuit the correct message?
If we expect the cards to give clear and obvious answers to every question, we are likely to be sorely disappointed. If we put too much faith in a simplistic idea of tarot, we limit the value of tarot and the information it can give us.
Tarot can help in any situation and speak to any problem, but we need to be nuanced in our thinking about how the cards work.
Sometimes, the cards speak so clearly and easily that their accuracy blows our minds. Other times, interpreting a reading may feel like walking through mud.
The way we experience the reading should become part of our interpretation. A quick, clear answer requires swift, clear action. A muddled reading indicates a need to take time and consider all aspects carefully.
Sometimes, the cards speak so clearly that some people have too much faith in their ability to always derive quick, straightforward answers and are disappointed when that doesn’t happen.
Sometimes, the cards speak in riddles, causing some people to think there is no truth to be found within them.
The more we learn to work with the cards, the more faith we can have in the value of tarot to give information and insight.
Happy Thanksgiving collage.

Making Magic
Here is something you can do when you are struggling to find the faith you need.
Faith, like anything else, is an energy. Faith has a specific vibration and specific energetic signature.
Which tarot cards speak to you of faith? Although many choices exist, I like Strength, the Fool, and the Two of Wands.
Which herbs are good for strengthening faith? Rosemary is a favorite of mine.
Which crystals help us find our faith? I like amethyst, but again, there are many.
So often, when we need to muster our faith, we turn our energy to the thing we are trying to accomplish. It is so much easier and more direct to first invoke the energy of faith. From there, everything gets easier.
