Have you heard of Blog Talk Radio? I don’t know how long it’s been around but I just discovered it a few months ago, and I have to say that I love it. There are tons of radio shows that you can listen to live or subscribe to via itunes to listen to later (which is what I do). If you listen live, you can participate in a live chat room or call in for a reading (depending on the show). I have several favorite shows, including Beyond Worlds, The Tarot Lady, and Storm Cestavani. One of my favorites was also Tarot Talk, but they are, sadly, no longer broadcasting.

This is an important concept for magickal people. When doing magick, it's important to have an attitude that your magick will work. It's part of the process. When looking at the results of the magick, it's important to look objectively at the work. If you don't believe something will work, you may think the results are negative even when you are successful. If you do believe something will work, you

Each Tuesday in February, I’ll post a Moon card from a different deck. Looking at the same card from different decks is one way that I like to study a card. It is always interesting to see new versions and consider other ways of thinking about a card. Because I would, some day, love to resolve my personal issues with The High Priestess, I considered picking her. But no. For some reason, The Moon demanded some airtime. In general, I find The Moon to be complex and uncertain. I hesitate to read it as too negative because of its association with feminine energy and the goddess. Instead, I try to look at what it is without judging it as “good” or “bad.” The Moon moves through the
