This wasn’t meant to be a witch sermon, but an Op-Ed, on Saturn’s entrance into Aquarius and our current state of affairs. Originally written as an Instagram post, but wanted to share here. During times of strife, we as humans desire explanations to process the collective grief, fear and uncertainty we experience. This is where religion and spiritual practices offer guidance and grace to ease us as we trudge on through the unknown.

Revolver Magazine Interview with Cristina Scabbia on Tarot, Death and Music.
Here’s an excerpt of my new piece for Revolver Magazine where I had the pleasure of meeting, reading and interviewing the magical Cristina Scabbia, lead singer of Lacuna Coil. “As Scabbia and I sit down with the 78 cards, I discuss my approach to tarot as I would with any new client.

Once the Moon is full, she begins to wane, an excellent time for cleansing…
