A glutton for punishment

A man in medieval clothing struggling to carry a large bundle of wooden sticks, set against an orange sunset sky with distant houses and trees in the background.

What is this guy thinking, can’t see the forest for the trees takes on new meaning, right? His vision is totally blocked and he’s hunched over from this tremendous load. Makes you wonder if he has any success planned ahead to carry out such a monumental task. Why does he try to do this in one load? Has he no friends to help him out? Has he no donkey, wagon, and how far is this trip ahead of him? Now we know because it’s wands and wands represent the element of fire that this quest of his is a spiritual journey of some type. So is he bogged down with too much dogma? Too much knowledge that he doesn’t know what beliefs to set aside and what to carry to his goal of the soul? I’ve known people in a religion who didn’t really believe in it anymore but couldn’t give it up because of family pressures, so they stayed and played the role of what everyone else expected. This created tons of guilt and unhappiness. In my religion that I grew up in they even had a name for it called the “double bind.” In our guy’s case it’s more like the “tenfold bind.” I won’t go into further explanation of this image, it’s the last card in our 78 card journey, so either you get it or you don’t. Maybe my poem will help and since it’s our last hurrah, I demand that you all leave a comment. Just kidding, however I would love to hear from you. I will be summing up the wands for my paid subscribers only, so think about becoming one for announcements in the next projects including “Breaking Karmic Cycles” and “Becoming Dream Masters” and more exciting things ahead.

Beast of burden, Atlas,
the world upon his shoulders.
Carrying all the troubles of humankind,
straining under the load.
Unable to move an inch,
for fear of losing a soul;
that wasn’t his to begin with.

After reflecting over the past few weeks, I’ve chosen to shift away from offering regular Tarot readings so I can step into a new, more expansive chapter of my work. With so many readers available today, including many who offer their services for free, I see this as the perfect moment to honor the depth of my own experience and thousands of readings by focusing it in a new direction. While I may still be available for select clients, I’m now excited to devote my energy to real-time classes and speaking engagements. My intention is to help train the teachers of tomorrow by sharing my unique wisdom in a more direct and empowering way. I’m happy to travel anywhere, so if you’re affiliated with a center of esoteric learning and can gather a sincere group of seekers, let’s talk and explore how we might create something powerful together. I’m seeking collaborative partners on the path, not followers.

That’s all folks! We have successfully navigated the entire 78-card deck, and it’s been a fun, enlightening, and mystical journey with all my new friends. The Tarot is something I have loved since I was 14 years old. However, it’s not the whole story of who I am and what I want to be known for. I have no desire to be a TikTok or YouTube video influencer, and I admire those who have been able to create that niche. I have, and always will be, a person who gets my fires flamed by personal connection through classes, seminars, consulting work, and private counseling. In the next year I will be launching a nationwide lecture tour, and if you would like me to come to your city, let’s collaborate. Suggested topics and seminars are:

  • Reincarnation-Breaking Karmic Chains
  • Becoming Dream Masters
  • Mind, Money, & Power
  • Meta-Modulus-a break through Numerology System
  • Signature Analysis-Change how you write, change your Life!
  • Living The Joyful Life! -Toolshed for building inner peace.
