I’m sad to say that the Cascadia Mystic Convergent Event for March 21, 2026, has been cancelled. They will try again this autumn. All tickets are being refunded within the next day or two.

Greetings and welcome to 2026! This March, I will be teaching my revamped tarot journaling class, now called The Magic of Tarot Journaling, at a one-day, new Pacific Northwest event: Cascadia Mystic Convergence. Event is on March 21, 2026.

I’m teaching alongside friends and colleagues Dr. Siddharth Ramakrishnan and Callie French.

Discover how your favorite deck can become a trusted companion to share your secrets. The Magic of Tarot Journalingguides participants through the transformative power of combining your tarot practice and journaling. You’ll learn the 8-step process to start and maintain a tarot journal, and experience what your practice could look like through three exercises. Bring your imagination, a notebook, your favorite colored pens, and an illustrated tarot deck.

Starting on October 25, 2021, the Birch Grove Hearth is hosting a 7-week, live class using tarot and shamanism to:

Engage powerful methods for working shamanically with Tarot Spirit Allies and astrological life cycles to clear Shadow issues so you can live a life you love.

Entitled, Tarot Spirits: Stars & Shadows, I’m promoting this class because the creator, Reid Hart, has asked me to present a bonus class entitled:

RITUALIZE YOUR LIFE USING TAROT
with Jaymi Elford

In this exclusive video class, Jaymi teaches ways you can use Tarot to ritualize your life. Learn how to chart your daily vibes, read the monthly lunar cycles, and align with the seasons using your favorite tarot deck. She’ll also give you a taste of how you can use the cards to craft a year-long personalized ritual to reach your goals.

I’ll be sharing techniques from Tarot Inspired Life and giving attendees a 10-page handout to help you attune your cards to various cycles in nature for ritual use. I’ve also signed up for this because I’m delving into my shadow side.

The class costs $247 USD and goes from October 25 until December 13th. Visit the Birch Grove’s landing page for Tarot Spirits: Stars and Shadow for all the information you need, including the class syllabus.

Awards season is upon us and a few days ago, I found out that the Heaven & Earth Tarot received a second award nomination. This time it’s from the folks at The Witch’s Sabbat who do The Witchies. The category Jack and I are in is the “Outstanding Tarot Deck of the Year.” It’s such an honor to be nominated for this category and to be included on such an amazing list of artists and authors across the whole ballet.

Voting is open to the public, and I would really appreciate it if you would go and vote for me, or any of the fantastic books, decks, and other media being represented. The link to the page is at: http://witchessabbat.com/witchies/

In addition to doing tarot readings and teaching, I also write booklets (and books) for various decks. My main client is Lo Scarabeo and you can find a list of decks (and everything I’ve been published in) over at my writing site. One of the decks I did in 2020, a Qabalah-inspired deck called Heaven & Earth was nominated for Best Deck of 2021 over at the World Divination Association.

This is such an honor to know people in the community like the work that I do with artists who make stunning art. If you get a chance, pop over to the site and vote for us! You’ll have to scroll down the page until you see this section:
