 One year ago I started writing a little reference book called Applied Tarot. Since then I've published three books and a card deck in the Applied Divination Series, I have another book coming out in a couple of months (Applied Tarot Reversed) and yet another one planned for later this year (Applied Tasseography, An Excessively Practical Guide to Interpreting Tea Leaves.)
Starting a small business is never an instant success; a divination business, at that, is definitely not a lucrative enterprise; AND launching that small divination business during a pandemic is probably the worst idea I've ever had. The worst best idea. I love what I do. I love Tarot cards and Runes and Tea Leaves and Palmistry and Astrology and Feng Shui and anything and everything related to divination and the mystical arts. Practicing them as a hobbyist kept me going through a lifetime of bad jobs, school stresses, parenting issues, clinical depression, and everything else that is just part of existence. But now practicing it as a professional is keeping me going through a pandemic where I might otherwise be driven straight into an institution. I bought myself an Employee of the Year mug to celebrate. My IT support staff (husband) is super envious. Maybe he'll work a bit harder this year and win it next year. Maybe.

March 1st began my new adventure as a --I don't want to say unemployed-- no-longer-employed-by-the-man author, grad student, and business owner. I work for myself and myself alone now! It is terrifying and lonely and I don't recommend it at all!
So, of course, instead of getting right down to brand building and writing new books and working on my assignments, I procrastinated all yesterday and came up with this Tarot spread for myself. It works for anyone undergoing a career overhaul, or starting a new job, or just trying something a little different. Card 1 - Your New Role
So of course I did this reading for myself, because I can't NOT invent a tarot reading and then do it on myself. Also, not doing it would mean I'd have to do my other work and really focus on my new self-employment venture, and I don't want to do that. My New Role - the Reversed Eight of Pentacles

I will ask the psychic word puzzles "how will this book fare in Japan?" and see what it says: ​.....
It says "if you have been thinking about a purchase, today is the day to make it."
I guess I have to order my own .jp edition of the book in order to get the ball rolling over there? Well, okay then. Question answered! I hope you get some fun and thought-provoking answers, too!

Enjoy Psychic Word Puzzles!  So, for the past two months I've been working on this fun little project - Psychic word puzzles! They're word and logic puzzles that, once solved, give you a message from the universe or a psychic prediction for your life. I had hoped to get it out by mid-January, however I hit a snag in development (the snag was my own roller coaster lifestyle and bold hotheadedness - I decided to reformat the entire thing and--together with a silly puppy, a job that is asking too much of me, and a Master's degree program that started 5 months earlier than anticipated--life and this project is taking a lot more time than I had anticipated.) So now I'm hoping for the first of March. We'll see. In the meantime, Valentine's day has come and gone, and I'm feeling a bit romantic, so I thought I'd share one of the puzzles from my book. You can download the link, or screenshot this page and print it, or whatever. instructions for how to receive your psychic message from the universe can be found at the bottom of this post. Enjoy exercising your gray matter, and get a V-day message from the universe! click here to download the PDF: 
Or screenshot this, whatever:  INSTRUCTIONS!
Find your psychic message by shading out the listed words found in the Word Search, and reading what remains in left-right, top-bottom order. Be careful not to completely black out the letters of each word, as some letters may be used in more than one word. If you find a word in the puzzle that isn't in the list of words to find, don't black it out! It may be part of your secret message ;) The search words might be found in any of the following directions:
I was fortunate to be featured on T.J. Deschamp's blog today! TJ is a Pacific Northwest fantasy writer with a new book coming out March 1st. Divination nonfiction and Fantasy fiction have an awful lot in common. They're magical, mysterious, and pretty sexy, too! (well, TJ's writing is sexy. I'm not super sure how a Tarot Card telling you to do your laundry is sexy, but maybe you're into that?) Click this big button to read my interview with TJ: Check out the ad for Warrior Tithe!
