The court cards of tarot represent people…aspects of yourself or others who may be influencing situations.  Their personalities are based on the suit they inhabit.  We are a mix of all, however the traits of the suit can specify the attributes that we see in others, ourselves, or offer advice on the traits/ attitudes that we should adopt in certain situations.

Also called the Cold Moon;  comes in the cold, long nights of winter when it used to be believed that the wolves would howl out of hunger...

I don't know why, but I always thought that eating pork and sauerkraut was a way for a good old fashioned cleanse on the New Year!! This year, I got curious and looked a bit deeper into the symbolism behind this tradition. 

As 2024 comes to a close with a brand new year on the horizon, we are simultaneously experiencing a black moon phase. A 2nd new moon for December is thrown into the mix setting the stage for not only releasing the past of 2024, but bringing powerful intentions to get shit done in 2025!

Did you ever  wonder where the full cold moon got its name? The answers to that and ways to work with this cold energy, the moon sign it falls under, and card associated with this energy might be simpler than you think!!

While there are many, many Crystals to choose from, I thought it would be helpful to share some of the research I have already done. Read on for a brief summary that I have researched and condensed of 15 crystals and their associations .

When I first started looking into crystals, the information was overwhelming. I truly thought that I needed to know and memorize everything about all different stones. It didn't take more than a couple of Google searches to know that would be next to impossible.... for me, at least.  Then, I finally realized that I didn't need to remember every single stone in order to be able to help point people in the right direction. In this post, I will tell you some of my favorite stones for anxiety and focus; as well as some trusted sites I use.  We will also talk about a little "rule of thumb" that can be helpful in choosing crystals for your intended purpose. 

You realize that the same tarot card comes up time after time. You have shuffled and shuffled. Asked different questions. Possibly even used the cards for different people. And yet, once again a very particular card demands to be seen. My friend, you have a stalker!!! 

According to the Old Farmers Almanac, My preferred place for moon name information; The Full Beaver Moon got its name because it was a time when animals were prepping for the winter months. Hence, "busy as a beaver".  With that being said, this Full moon is astrologically the full moon in Taurus. How does this energy affect us and what are some ways to utilize this energy ?
