As I sit down with my tea, to prep for my first week of “normal” work since the murder of George Floyd, I realize how important it is, right here and now, to make commitments for long-term change. Because nothing should go back to normal. We should not return to our scheduled posts, our services, …
Tarot for Lovers
Valentine’s Day has me thinking about how Tarot portrays love. Any card could relate to love, relationships, sex, and intimacy in the deck, but a few offer messages about love directly. The most obvious is, of course, The Lovers. It speaks of unity, divine intervention, two coming together, open-heartedness, and so much more. At its …
Three Beliefs About Love That Keep Us from Actually Feeling It
Very few of us take a moment to deepen our understanding of love. To explore what we want, how it feels. We believe certain concepts as facts. And it's no surprise. [Peek through RaDonna’s Looking at Love Retreat & Self-Love Retreat if you want in-depth, in-person exploration about this topic] We are sold, shown, and taught …

Loving the Unlikeable
Last summer I found a photo of little RaDonna, and promised to love her. This one, to be exact. She's so adorable. That practice was so healing and meaningful to me, like a breeze to adopt. Of course I would protect the most innocent version of myself. What feels less easy, however, is to love …
What the Winds Carried
Last night, I felt the atmosphere shift. It started with a sunshower, rain sprinkling during sunshine. Several minutes later, a thunderstorm burst open from the sky, pouring heavy, hard rain. It left as quickly as it came. But the wind stayed, strong enough to send us sideways. All around, leaves rolled in the air, dancing …
Everything is Full Circle
In elementary school, my friends and I would pretend to make potions and spells at recess (Practical Magic probably just came out 😸). Each of us would bring supplies from home, and sit in a circle under a tree and mix up pretty things. I searched my house for items we could use. I climbed …
Energetic Awakening
A year ago, Reiki entered my life. For a year, it has changed it. Learning Reiki opened a pathway for me to better understand energy, to self-soothe, and to help others heal. I don’t use Reiki as often as I could, but it truly is one of the most powerful skills I know. Spiritually guided …
Friday the 13th Tarot Spread
With last night's new moon in Cancer and a solar eclipse leading us into Friday the 13th, it seemed appropriate to harness the mystical energy in the air. I've always appreciated Friday the 13th, even before I began exploring my spirituality. As a child, the day felt special and the air felt different. Recently I …
Tarot Spread Review: The Empress
Lately, I feel disconnected. My heart is in the right place and I can visualize where I want to be, but I can’t seem to materialize or manifest what I feel called to do. I know I’m not alone—there are six retrograde planets (though Jupiter stationed direct today) and we just entered eclipse season. The …
Embrace the Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice marks a time to embrace the fullness of life. Solstice traditions and rituals revolve around the Sun and appreciation for it. After the Summer Solstice, daylight shortens; with the light of day waning, we light fire in our hearts. This evokes a season of passion and pleasure, cultivating an atmosphere where our …
