I’m back… I spent a lovely four days camping; I was lounging on a hammock and… well, that’s really all I did. I read three and a half books and basically did nothing for the better part of a week.

It was Gorgeous.

Jealous?

Don’t be; I’m feeling so magnanimous I though I’d spread a little of my happy feeling love around.

I racked my brain thinking about exactly what I could do that would make you all feel as happy as I’m feeling right about now and it finally came to me:

My Tarot Class

I thought about maybe offering a little discount, or maybe a free tarot reading with me… but this morning I knew, I just knew, that what you really wanted was to be able to come to tarot class – no barriers.

I’d love to have that puppy fill right up and I know that you are just dying to come and play tarot with me, so I’ve been wondering what’s been holding you back from flinging it all to the wayside and jumping in? It had to be money (it always is, isn’t it?)!

So here’s the plan, if you want to come to tarot class, then for the next 72 hours (that’s until Weds night peeps) YOU CAN! Yep, that’s right, you definitely can.

The Deets

If you’ve been dying to become a Tarot Goddess yourself, but just haven’t been able to commit to the class right now, what I want you to do is jump up and grab a piece of paper and a pen right now. I’ll wait.

Got it?

Ok, now write $350 at the top of the page. That’s what the class is worth. Now, I want you to think about this for a second, maybe chew on your pencil a bit… then cross out the $350 and below that write what YOU think it’s worth.

What do you think? What would you pay for 8 weeks of teleclasses, a Tarot manual, readings from partners, and unlimited access to moi? What’s that worth? $200? $150?

Can you afford that?

I checked and between this week and the end of the class I (*ahem*, my husband) will be getting five paycheques. Can you afford it if it was split across five payments? Maybe even three? Will two do?

No?

Ok, go ahead and cross out what you think it’s worth. Now below that, write down what you can afford. Does that seem fair?

Great! It’s sold.

Now that you’ve got your number you’re going to send me an email email at: megan at limitlessliving dot ca (or maybe message me on Facebook if that’s your thing), put “Pay What You Can Sale” in the subject line to be sure I see it.

Then tell me your number. Go ahead and tell me what you can pay and then tell me how you’d like to pay it (that is, do you want to pay it all right now, did you want to make payments – if so how much and when?). As long as I get your email before Thursday morning, and you agree to the below conditions, and there’s still room in the class – You’re In!

As easy as that.

The Conditions

They are pretty darn simple.

1) I ask for one payment before the class starts – no matter how small – to show your commitment and hold your space.
2) I ask that you be full on committed to the class. That is: you’ll show up, you’ll do your readings for your partners, you’ll be there and you’ll be engaged. (Of course, life happens and I understand about that, but I ask that you come in with a commitment to the class.)

Tis all.

*Oh Yeah… Also, please mention in your email if you prefer a Wednesday class as I’m willing to consider this option if enough people request it (due to popular demand).

You in? Check out the Class again, email me your proposal at: megan at limitlessliving dot ca(or maybe or message it to me on Facebook.

2.5 Days and counting… (God, being magnanimous is fun.)

Where, oh where did Tuesday go?

I am wildly and crazily cramming packing, and last minute work things into my morning as my Beloved husband and I are running away for the rest of the week. A tent. A coupe of hammocks. LOTS of books. Sigh… It’s going to be delectable.

And internet free.

I don’t know what happened to Monday and Tuesday this week, but I’m sure going to enjoy the unending Thursday that will be tomorrow!

Just to tide you over while I’m gone, here’s your Tarot Tuesday Review, this week of the Druidcraft Tarot.

I pretty much learned the Tarot on this deck, it’s nice because I really dislike the Raider Waite decks (it just doesn’t speak to me), but this art, while being so much more approachable, is incredibly close in detail and intent to the traditional cards.

I have to tell you, it’s been one wild and crazy week (and a bit). It all started last Monday when I had to take my dog to be put down, Tuesday was my anniversary (14 years Thank you Very Much) and I not only taught Tarot class I launched my Tarot Goddess class with the first in a five part series of Tarot deck reviews (this officially Part II) which had me running around like a headless chicken, Wednesday was my birthday with morning coffee and out at dinner, Thursday had more birthday dinners and then, of course, my period started over the weekend. I tried to take my three days to do nothing but the boys were home the whole time (it’s hard to relax into nothing with people surrounding you) and I stayed up too late reading and today I’m back to the grind…

I’m wiped.

Add to that that I went to a Five Element Acupuncturist a few weeks to talk to her about my gallbladder and came out with a diagnosis of a lack of Chi (or energy) – a serious lack. This isn’t so much of a surprise to me – after all, I’m living with it baby – but the treatment is serving to remove the masks and coping tools I’ve built up in an effort to let the problem surface and then heal.

You can image then that I’m really wiped.

In all this though has been My Birthday – I LOVE my birthday (mostly because I love Me and anything that allows me to celebrate that is good with me). I love presents and not feeling guilty for being the center of attention. I love being Queen for a Day (which I claim my family still owes me as I was out – without them – the whole entire day), and new books (an inevitability with me). I honestly can’t think of anything better than getting to celebrate my birthday; my husband and I even discussed adding Half-Birthdays to our schedule, just for the fun of it.

I figure it’s only right to spread a little of that love around, so last week I invited my newsletter readers to send in questions and I’d do a free one card reading for them as a special birthday present.

I’m cool like that.

As today seems to fast be becoming Tarot Tuesday in my mind I figured this was the perfect time to share them. My Tarot Goddess class is swiftly creeping up on us (have you got your seat yet?) and I know that some of you might be interested, but really don’t have any idea of what the Tarot actually is (or how you can use it). Which is cool, because this class is meant for beginners and newbies just like you, but I figured you’d appreciate a little bit more information.

Like maybe, a real taste of the Tarot…

So, I decided to video tape the Birthday Readings and share them with you. I pulled from a variety of decks, so you’ll see how different the cards can be and exactly how I tend to work with the tarot. The women who decided to be brave and claim their gift all asked a nice mix of questions, and got very different answers too, so you’ll get to see just what kind of things you can ask and how varied – and specific – the answer can be. Even from just one card. (Oh, this is the fun part… I love this stuff!)

Jill wanted to know about her relationship with Nan:

Joy asked about a Lover coming into her life:

Kathie wanted to know if she’d be successful:

Donna is seeking direction in her career:

So cool ladies, thanks for letting me read for you and for letting everyone else peep into the tarot through your lives. Make sure you stop by to share your thoughts, questions, and anything you’d add to the reading in the comments section below.

An Addendum:

Oh yeah, remember when I started this whole thing telling you how crazy busy and wiped I was… I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be doing any one on one sessions for the next few weeks. I’ve got some time booked with my boys and some much needed break time booked in, but I’m also prepping for the Tarot class and the new Retreat Day (Centered: Seeking Inner Guidance) that’s coming up this month. I believe in walking my talk and so I need to honour both myself and those of you coming to those events by being fully centered – which means taking it easy on the appointments for now.

If you want to do some one on one, no worries I’ve got space open at the end of the month and into October; I’ll “see” you then!

Yesterday was a very difficult day for me, if you follow me on Facebook you know that I had to take my dog to the vet to be put down (God how I hate that expression but no other (gentle) words are coming to me now). We knew it was coming. We’d found the lump early in the year and decided that at 13 years old it was just as well to let it progress till it was affecting her quality of life as it was to subject her to surgery with no promises (and no cure for old age anyway).

It was just… that it happened so fast. Last month she was herself; maybe a lying around a little more and getting a little thin (we started buying wet food when we noticed that), but content. Then in a matter of weeks…

Also, I really under-estimated the effect being the one who chose this – who made the decision on when – would have on me. God/dess it was hard. Once the appointment was made I found myself second guessing. Was this the right time? Was I sure? Part of me knew, another part of me doubted.

I did an energy clearing on me, the dog, my son, the situation – the whole dang thing – just to help me stop crying, to help me breathe again. I felt calm, but I still had doubts. How could I be sure I was making the right choice?

Have You Met The Tarot?

This month I’ve been immersed in Tarot cards; first I prepared a whole manual for my students, adapted and expanded my teaching plan, and now I’ve been teaching the class (tonight is our fourth week) and doing daily draws (and posting them on Facebook).

All this taroting (what, that’s a verb) has engendered a lot of conversations; I find that having conversations with people about the Tarot is a fascinating thing. Some people I know love the cards, they study them and understand them, but those are few and far between. Lots of people who know them, and most who’ve only heard of them, associate tarot with one thing: Fortune Telling. This association usually pushes people very firmly into the Distrustful camp. Whether they don’t trust them because they don’t believe in predictions and think they are just tools for conning people (or ourselves), or whether they distrust them because they’ve heard they are evil (and in a rare instance, one of my students told me her husband thinks they are both evil and fake) the result is the same thing.

Then there are a refreshing (surprising) few who haven’t even heard of the tarot… I can’t imagine that, not having even seen them on movies or in books? But there you are, I’ve discovered that it’s true!

No matter where they fall I love having the chance to talk to people about what the cards really are and how I see them. I, myself, am not a big Fortune Teller – I don’t, as a rule – see the value of letting someone/thing else live my life for me. Rather, for me the tarot is a tool that reveals layers; it moves me deeper. It’s like a geographic scan of a situation: here’s what’s happening on the surface (what you think you know), here’s the next layer down that’s influencing you, here’s the immovable bedrock that’s been a problem for years, and there’s that underground waterway you never even knew existed, and oh yeah, here’s how the other people involved are feeling it.

For me, the tarot is educational, revealing, challenging (as in it challenges me to grow up, not challenging as in difficult – though sometimes that too) and above all: comforting.

After I had done everything else I could do: I had cleared, I had journalled, I had cried – once I was calm, but still unsure I pulled out my Gaian Tarot deck. I asked my heart, my Spirit, to talk to me about the upcoming visit to the vet and I pulled three cards.

They were beautiful. They took my breath away. Not only that, the only thing I could see was the giant suns behind each of the women – their halos – the promise seemed… uncontainable. One voice in me wanted to think that all the peace and joy meant that Katrine would come back with me, her pain relieved and a few weeks left to go. But the last card, though it still had all the promise and hope, is called Strength and I know it’s the card that asks us to call on our inner strength, to pull up the confidence that comes from Knowing. I knew I’d have to be strong.

The reading reminded me of what I already knew; that this was a gift of peace for our beloved dog and that this world, this physical body, is by no means our final stop. I couldn’t help but think that was her dancing in The Sun card…

It comforted me. It comforts me now.

When I read tarot for other people the cards might comfort them, they might exhort or inspire them, they might kick their butts, or call them into action… but they always touch something. Every person leaves my table lighter – more fired up – than they came (at least, that’s my goal).

That’s why I love the cards, they take me ever deeper, ever further…

So, I’m really excited to tell you that I’m going to be teaching my Tarot Foundations beginning tarot class starting in September – online. Yep, that means you – where ever you might live – can come study with me, even though I live here and you live there. I love this class, it’s so much fun to teach and so amazing to watch you (my students) blossom not just in your ability to read the cards, but in who you are. Because the Tarot are a personal growth tool, and I promise, after 8 weeks of study and readings you’ll be pulled into growth one way or the other.

There’s only ten spots available in the class so if you are thinking you want in grab your spot while you can. (Actually, one spot was requested last week, so only 9 seats remain – I’m holding yours just for you though!)

In Celebration of the Upcoming Class

And because each student who signs up is going to get a free tarot deck (from a selection of five styles) – yep, you heard me right a FREE tarot deck – I decided to have some fun and review a few decks on my blog each week leading up to the class. Normally, when it comes to food, and life in general, I’m a “save the best for last” kind of girl. But in this case I decided that I absolutely had to start with my favorite:

The Gaian Tarot

Not only do I love the Gaian, I’m really glad I’m doing it this week while I’m in the midst of such a difficult choice and moving through my grief. See, the Gaian is a very REAL deck. The cards are so in tune to real life – not just the bigger archetypes traditionally seen in the tarot, but also in the nitty-gritty of life. It was the Gaian I pulled from when confused yesterday, and the Gaian I use most often.

They speak to my soul. Maybe they’ll speak to yours.

Once you’ve watched the video you can download the PDF with a bit of a summary of the key points about the review, the info and credits on the deck, and an extra tarot reading asking that deck to share a bit about what it thinks it has to offer you.

If you are taking my class you’ll want to file this all away in case this is the deck you decide you want. And even if you aren’t going to be in my class (so sad… I’ll miss you!) you can swing on over to Joanna’s site and get to know more about her and all her awesomeness. (Love to you Joanna…)
