I got a new tattoo. Normally I would not post this on my newsletter, but it is important to me. It is in honor of the Lady of the Lake. She has been coming to me lately, and calling me to truth – the truth of who I am. She has been calling me to […]
About Kathryn Ravenwood
High Priestess Tarot – Knight of Swords by Kathryn Ravenwood
It seems like only yesterday there was a clear plan in mind. Inspiration and great ideas were fresh; enthusiasm was running high. Confidant and clear, unstoppable, sure to succeed we charged ahead to bring our vision into reality. But what are these gloomy clouds blocking the view? Where did the clarity go? Why is it […]
High Priestess Tarot – Year of the Hanged Man by Kathryn Ravenwood
Suspended within the great Cosmic Egg of all Creation the Hanged One meditates, releases, realizes and dissolves the old consciousness so new realization can emerge. Like a cocoon hanging from a limb, wrapped in silent layers of silk, the promise of the butterfly yet to emerge is far from actualized. No activity is apparent; the […]
High Priestess Tarot – Eight of Cups by Kathryn Ravenwood
The Eight of Cups – Moving On I love seeing trends when I do readings for people. Lately the 8 of Cups has been showing up so I decided to take a closer look at it. I confess that, being a Cancer and easily overwhelmed by my emotions (duh), this card carries a lot […]
High Priestess Tarot – Temperance by Kathryn Ravenwood
What is Temperance? The dictionary defines it as “moderation in action, thought or feeling; restraint; a habitual moderation in the indulgence of appetites or passions (especially in regards to alcohol).” However, the Tarot, always encouraging us to think in archetypes, tells us Temperance is alchemy, art, blending. There is a much larger sense of this […]
High Priestess Tarot – The Hanged Man and Letting Go by Kathryn Ravenwood
“I sit before flowers, hoping they will train me in the art of opening up. I stand on mountain tops believing that avalanches will teach me to let go.”…Shane Koyczan I recently read this quote in my Free Will Horoscope (the brilliant Rob Brezny). It has been pressing upon my consciousness for several weeks […]
High Priestess Tarot – The Death Card by Kathryn Ravenwood
Do you feel it? The constant pressure to change? Are you exploring it? Surrendering to it? Fighting it? Ignoring it? Does it exhilarate you or scare you – well, to Death? In the image above, The Goddess Nut, our Great Cosmic Mother, is the shining portal of life through which we each pass. She holds […]
High Priestess Tarot – The Four of Swords by Kathryn Ravenwood
The Swords are the Suit of the Mind and are traditionally associated with the East. The Four of Swords is when the agitation of cruel and self-punishing thoughts are put to rest. We go to sleep without the hamsters racing on the wheel all night. We have found a mental stability that allows us to […]
High Priestess Tarot – Ten of Swords by Kathryn Ravenwood
The Ten of Swords is one of the most dismal looking cards in the Tarot. We see a woman lying face down with swords stuck in her back. It would seem someone came up behind her to stab her not once but ten times. A bit of overkill for sure. Looking more closely we notice […]
High Priestess Tarot – The Two of Pentacles by Kathryn Ravenwood
I have been stuck for over a month. Because I have been stuck I have been struggling to identify my feelings and therefore a way through the stuckness. Today I saw this tarot card from a deck I have never heard of and it was just what I needed. I have been on that swing […]
