something special for the upcoming full moon & equinox
I'm not going to hold out on the announcement:
The updated versions of Dive Into Your Deck & Light Your Lantern will be available for this full moon/equinox portal.
(I can type that as a declarative sentence, but in my head, it's more like gaaaaaahhhhhhhh DIVE INTO YOUR DECK & LIGHT YOUR LANTERN will. be. AVAILABLE for the FULL MOON/EQUINOX PORTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
If you've been read these love letters for a while, you know that these classes were in development for a couple of years before I first taught them last year.
I've already seen how these classes have changed not just people's understanding of oracle & tarot decks, but their relationship to their intuition.
So, I'm absolutely delighted to share these powerful classes with you! More details coming soon, but for now, I want you to be clear that there are 2 options:
1. Self-study only: Each class has 6-7 modules, with recorded lessons + accompanying handouts & guides.
The recordings are directly from live classes, of me teaching actual students. I love self-study, but I find a completely different energy from recorded lecture vs recorded class that includes discussions. I'm excited for you to get both in this self-study.
2. Self-study + a 1:1 session with me: For those who want some direct guidance along your journey, this adds a 90-minute session with me.
I'll share some recommended timing, that leaves space for you to determine when is best for you.
Dive Into Your Deck & Light Your Lantern are spaces to activate both your intuition & inspiration. You learn about tarot & oracle decks in ways that most people miss.
(And I mean things that people miss for YEARS, in the cases of some of my past students. This is to detract nothing from them, but rather to emphasize that there are some massive gaps in the usual approaches to divination decks.)
More importantly, you see the bigger implications of these divination practices in your life.
And that's the point, really. Of all these practices that I share. Whether I'm teaching pendulum, divination decks, or anything else, the immediate context is just one of many layers.
As we move into this full moon & equinox portal, I hope you have many opportunities for your intuitive practices to reveal deeper layers & bigger implications. As always, the world needs your inspired presence & actions.
I also realized that I don't share card readings in these love letters as much as I'd like. A recent one is below, with my commentary underneath.
I encourage you to reflect on it before you read my thoughts ;)
I'll be back in your inbox in a few days. Have a beautiful winding into this weekend.
Peace,
S.

These cards are from the Light Seer's Tarot.
If you're familiar with tarot, you probably know that the Tower and the suit of Swords have a bit of a bad reputation. They're often considered ominous, unpleasant cards.
Before I pulled these cards, I asked about what I needed to know as I move into spring. You might see these answers as signs for despair, but for me they were absolutely encouraging & validating.
Why? I'm not a pessimist, so I don't see this pull as predictive. However, it's easy for me to push myself too hard, to set unreasonable expectations. So, this was deeply affirming of what I've gone through the past few years. I felt completely seen & supported by the universe.
I receive this reminder that I've had a rough few years & I need to be honest with myself. I need not fall into an old pattern of being too harsh or pacing myself too aggressively.
I share this example precisely because of the reputation of these cards. If I relied only on the usual interpretations, I might be despondent at this spread. But in fact I had the opposite experience.
What everyone else thinks might be relevant, but it lags behind my emphasis on art & intuition.
