Esoteric means rare knowledge about a subject, usually relating to the inner worlds such as psychic or spiritual by nature. We see this displayed through Tarot, Astrology, Rune and Psychic Readings as well as Artistic endeavors such as painting and writing to name just a few. For something to be esoteric as compared to exoteric it stems from inside the individual or within a small group of people. In the Tarot this can be represented by the Hermit card or the search for one’s

Temperance - Connolly Tarot Healing is key with the Temperance card and this lovely lady looks like she’s tired of being patient and waiting for this turnaround to happen. We’ll do a strong intuitive read on this one. I feel like this angel is looking at the events going on in the world, in her life or maybe a long, last look at the past. The disappointment is palpable and the deep sadness about the lack of consciousness is wearing on her. The deceit and deception has gone to

Transformation means changing shape. When I think of changing shape I think of the sculptor with the clay, the woman pregnant with child, engaging the soul satisfying yoga, working out at the gym and many other forms of physical manipulation.

The High Priestess represents intuition, our inner knowing and the gift of sight. She’s the feminine and the ultimate receptive. Illumination, revelation, prophecy and mystery all fall under her reign. In Reading the cards we partake of the High Priestess, developing a deep and abiding trust of ourselves.

She’s learning to see what really lies within the people and situations that she draws to her and therefore what life presents to her. She may appear cold at times bu

Connecting with the Divine through meditation, yoga, presence and contemplation can be beautiful and fulfilling as well as strange and captivating leaving us with awe-inspiring, eerie and odd feelings.
