Crop CirclesIt’s that time of year. Crop circles are starting to appear, and they are very prevalent in the southwest English counties. Wiltshire is one county that attracts many visitors for its crop circles, Stonehenge, Silbury Hill, and Avebury henge. A crop circle was spotted near Salisbury, Wiltshire, on May 7, 2010. It was located in [...] Two Llewellyn Titles Are Finalists for IPPY Awards!Two Llewellyn titles, Bridge to the Afterlife by Troy Parkinson (Inspirational/Spiritual category) and Follow the Shaman’s Call by Mike Williams (New Age [Mind-Body-Spirit] category), have been named as finalists for Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY).

Place is the creator of several decks, including the Alchemical Tarot and the Buddha Tarot as well as the author of The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination.

I was reminded of this conversation this morning when I received an email from a friend who was joining a magickal order and [...] Do you make your own magical crafts?Lately I’ve been getting a slew of crafting books and proposals. Slated for publication in 2011, I’m currently working on books on crafting your own magical candles (winter release), your own wands (summer release), and lots of other fun projects for magical home dĂ©cor and beauty (fall release). Plus, there are more proposals on their [...] Support Your CommunityIn my recent post I wrote that there are some “teachers” who are only into sharing information in order to gain money, power, or both. In a comment to that post, Elizabeth Hazel wrote, “While you say that “it’s all about money” sometimes may be relevant, the reality is – teaching is in most cases [...] Straw into Gold TechniqueIf you haven’t already read the previous blog post, take a minute and check that out for some background information. Also I should reiterate that I use the phrase “bad card” somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Most tarot readers agree that there are no “bad” cards, that all the cards have gifts and shadows. When I use the [...] Burden into Blessings SpreadDr. Elinor Greenberg is a psychotherapist and tarot reader and she was one of the Master Teachers at this year’s Readers Studio. During our time with Dr. Greenberg, we learned techniques that help us turn “Straw into Gold” or “Burdens into Blessings.” That is, she gave us useful tools to deal with [cue sinister music] [...] 3 Signs of a Good Spiritual Teacher—My Next AppearanceOne of the most common requests I get is for a good teacher or group.
