I look at the card and see the strongly green earthy feel to the card and the sunrise in the background coming through the trees. It feels a very earth practical card but with spirit and earth energy filling every action.

Deck created by Anna Franklin and Published by Llewellyn Deck available to buy from both websites, also from my book store.
I walk into the card and feel the cool morning air on my face the ground is wet with dew and the sun is just rising I walk up to the page who seems to be very close
“Hello“ I say
“Hello and welcome to this special time of the morning – it is a time for peace and the waking of the world. You can feel the plant energy the strongest at this time of day. Take a moment and sit with me in peace and listen to the plants around us. “
I see a patch of dandelions at our feet and ask them to tell me of themselves.
“We are the flowers and leaves of cleansing eat of us to clear your kidneys and liver – we also would tell you that detoxifying diets are good for you – that too often the material world is separate from nature and that this is a shame – as you connect with nature then you heal yourself – we can help heal you with our very energy.“
“ We are also very determined and will prosper and grow no matter how many times you pull us up and in this we mirror the patience of the Earth – how you are offered the healing gifts over and over no matter how many times you choose not to take them – we do not judge but merely be ourselves, presenting opportunities before you – it is your choice to take them. So in this card we represent opportunities being presented but that the choice of whether to take them is up to the person and if they choose against, then the opportunities will return again at another time. We are also like the sun and remind you that you have the sun in your heart and that it is healthy and good to love yourself – and if you love yourself it is easier to be healthy. Eat nourishing foods and avoid those things you know are not in your best interest. We give you the gift of cleansing when you chose to eat foods and drinks that clog you up. We offer our healing to you as you offer yours to others. “
“Thank you“ I say “– you have a lot of wisdom within you. “
I sit in silence for a little while and notice the bird song around me and the joy that appears to be coming from every corner of this wood we sit in. I feel safe contented and protected.
So I turn to the Page. “What message do you have for me in this card?“
“I am asking you to sit in nature more – spend time in silence with nature around you – do not feel you have a task to do or something to achieve – not even to fulfill this task I set you. Just make time and space to listen and you will find you are able to let go of your stresses much more easily. I come in a reading when someone needs to ground their thoughts – to reconnect with their natural world around them and also to make changes in their diet and lifestyle to promote more bodily health. It could be more exercise is needed, or different foods or even to sleep earlier and get up earlier. I will give the advice that is needed for the person concerned at the time. “
“Oh I see thank you – Do you have some advice for me as I have been so exhausted recently and feel my time is very tense and timetabled even though I know I have many choices as to what I do with my time. ?“
“You need to just sit with nature – drawing and thinking, going for walks and runs alone would help you a lot – many times you are with others and not taking the space you need for yourself. Your exhaustion though is about over training and needing your muscles to rest – also the herbs you have been working with are answering your prayers and helping you get your eating onto an even keel. As you ask so you are given, but for you to do this you need the time to prepare the new food and also the focus on how you feel to do it – this is what your intensity has been about – do not criticise yourself for it as it is necessary to kickstart your new eating habits. When running and exercise is back in your life again you will need more food but you will be turning to healthy foods rather than to sugar as you have been doing so in the past. Allow your body to recover this weekend and next week will be a good time to start afresh with your exercise plan and to keep your current new food goals in place. “
“Thank you – that is very helpful. “
“What if you are reversed?“ I ask
“Then someone is refusing to address their needs and is likely going through a time where they are not helping their health by their lifestyle. It is also a resistance to practical application of the things they know – finding themselves stuck in old ways. Again nature will help and balance in all things. Could also be someone is being too fussy about their food and not balanced in that way so they are out of balance in themselves – why do they need to separate themselves from others? What is their true need? It may be more emotional than physical.“
“Thank you that is interesting. “ I respond
I turn to the trees and find one is a hazel tree – “Hello hazel what message do you have for me?“
“I am the protection of spirit when you allow yourself to be protected from outside yourself I am the protector in the woods I also connect with spiritual forces so my protection comes this way. Do not fear – allow yourself to be as you are and be true to your own sense of health, you will not starve as you fear, nor will others ignore you if you become who you really are. I am hazel magic and abundance comes through me – ask me for your miracles to be performed and I will send you an abundance of 'luck' for you will make it with me. I represent an abundance of energy and of nourishment, healthy new beginnings. I surround this clearing and protect it from negative energies ask me to clear your space with you and we can work together. “
“Thank you hazel I am grateful for your advice and I will commune with you soon. So you stand for protection, for connecting with spirit and for healthy abundance of food and nourishment. In relationships then you would stand for a healthy relationship where one is feeding the other and vice versa – having plenty on the physical level too Practically the relationship is working. Would that be right?“
“Yes indeed, I am about relationship“ says the Page taking over from the hazel “and the acceptance of one as they are without demands or questioning. I am clear and straightforward, down to earth and good with my hands, I like food and cooking and also eating simply. Giving love is often expressed through food and practical tasks being completed I am less likely to talk about my feelings only because I find it easier to show how i feel by what I do. I am young and innocent but know a lot about the natural world and feel most comfortable within it in some way. “
“Thank you Page, that is useful information. “ I say
“I wear green for love and for growth“ he continues “ – the love is not sentimental though, but grounded and based upon what I do – I like to see growth in things and people gardening is a good activity for me as I love the patient nurturing and growth of plants and their energy is so healing for myself and others – I am also the herbalist and alternative healer who works with plant and earth energy shamanically “
“Thank you for all your information and description oh Page, and for your help with me personally. I am grateful“
“Oh sun what do you represent ? “ I ask
“I am your inner self shining through all you do – self confidence growing as time moves on – the young person who is confident but still learning I am the sunrise of this person. I shed light on things a new and start to warm for the fresh day ahead. be true to who you are even in the beginnings of things where you know there is much to learn you can be confident and true to yourself.“
“Thank you sun. I am very grateful to you all “ I say as I turn to each part of the card and leave to return another day.
This card has been very relevant to my life currently and I do feel questions have been answered for me.

The readings I offer on the phone, internet, in person or by post are detailed and last between 1/2 hour to an hour, also I record them onto CD or MP3 so you can listen to them time and time again – often people find that the things I have said take on new meanings as time passes and that the information that comes through really helps as situations unfold.
Information is gained both from the tarot cards as well as psychically the two forms of guidance merging together to give insight to any situation you are concerned about, or you general future.
Readings can be done by distance onto a CD or MP3 and sent to you in the post, so there's no need to be living in my area, or need to find a time we can both be present. I offer readings Face to Face, On Skype video phone, and usual telephone, as well as distance readings without you needing to be present or available when I do the reading for your focus directly onto CD or MP3. There are also now a few evening and weekend appointment slots. If you are feeling you would like a reading then please visit my tarot page.

Sometimes our lives can become so full with work needs, caring for others, and other commitments, we become increasingly stressed and find it hard to break the stress cycle. We may start to experience symptoms of stress without even being aware of the stresses upon us - or that there are options to help us change things. If you are feeling stressed or stuck in your life in some way and would like to make changes in the year ahead perhaps these sessions will be exactly what you need. I can offer you a number of techniques to help you reduce your current stress levels and also we can look at the root causes of your stress and start to address these to help you make the lifestyle changes you need to bring more balance into your life.

By request, I am currently developing a course focusing on psychological self development and awareness of relationship patterns of behaviour we get into time and time again, to be run later on in the year. It will be heavily based on the theories of Transactional Analysis, which is a theory that explores the games we play with each other and the internal sub-personalities of Parent, Adult and Child, with a view to becoming more authentic in our lives. If you feel this is something you would be interested in drop me an email to state your interest. I will keep you informed of the dates, length of course and other details as they become available. The course will be held online via a forum as my other courses are. It is not connected with tarot reading specifically, however it will be useful in dealing with clients, whether tarot, healing or other supportive professional roles - particularly where you may find challenges of communication. Also mention may be made where clear connection with the tarot exist.

We now offer a beginners module over 3 weeks to help complete beginners to the tarot understand the very basics – enough to be able to take the initial Thoth course, and learn to use your intuition with the tarot from the very start.
