I think my friend, Jason Ash, is a very insightful tarot reader. He agreed to answer three questions for me. It was no surprise for me to learn that he loves the Gaian Tarot, a deck that combines magic and wisdom with everyday life, much like Jason himself.

On the 5th day of December, Tarot gave to me: The Elder of Fire from the Gaian Tarot. (Pssst...it's on sale right now) This could be very useful energy for a Monday in December. Intense power and the deep understanding that allows one to use it wisely. Also, this magical lady knows how to draw on and channel energy when needed. We can learn to do the same, even if we do so through a delicious cup of coffee.  

One of my favorite cards from the Gaian Tarot is the Magician. I pulled this card today and the affirmation that Joanna, the creator of this deck, resonated so much: “I have the power to manifest my desires.” If you have the Gaian deck, pull a card and share your affirmation for the day in the comments. Since this is a full moon, it is a great time to commit to using your affirmation for the next lunar cycle. Don't forget to come back here and share how you changed your life, in big ways and smaller ways, next month.
