I just heard from the author of The Secret Language of Birds! A friend of a friend of a friend, she said, mentioned my post about finding her book. :) She's working on a bird tarot herself, due out next spring or maybe even winter. :) In other news, Finn had an awesome nap this morning, but is alrea...

I am not really practiced in the art of tarot, but we have a deck just because the cards are cool to look at and think about. I thought it would be fun to offer Persephone a draw so I shuffled them up and cut the deck a few times and fanned the cards out, face down, and let her take her pick. I was ...

And then, suddenly, I felt as though I was coming down with the flu. Within half an hour, I was aching and could hardly sit up,...
