Winter Solstice Blessings
“Make of yourself a light.”
The Buddha
Friends -
Welcome to the Winter Solstice. In the Gaelic language, solstice means ‘standing still sun.’
If you’ve looked at the home page on my website, you’ll see the Princess of Disks – my favorite card in the Thoth Tarot. She is pregnant and, come the light, will give birth to new forms. She is the Earth in the Earth - pure manifestation, the physical world of making and growing. She is the last of the Court cards, marking a new beginning of the circle and the beginning of a new project or new physical creation.
For me, the Princess of Disks embodies this magical point in the year. She is on the brink of transformation, but she shows us that to achieve that, we must keep still, listen deeply to our inner being, and stay grounded in the Earth.
A Winter Solstice Blessing for you:
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
-Wendell Berry

About my readings
I’m often asked “What should my questions be?”
Here are some to think about: What is calling for my attention? What's being mirrored in my relationship right now? What do I really want in a romantic relationship? What am I ready to step into? What's keeping me stuck? What type of work/career should I be looking for? How can I help to make our planet healthier and more just?
I’ve been honored over the years to do readings for so many – is it time to do yours?

How do you know if a Tarot reading is right for you?
You're going through a life transition or marking an occasion.
You feel disconnected from your intuition.
You want to get to the root of an issue to clear it.
You're ready to get a new perspective.
You're ready to make different choices.
In Elyn’s Diary, we’re exploring our authenticity looking at the 22 Major Arcana cards, looking at each card and some of the questions they invite us to explore. These cards represent universal principles collectively experienced, regardless of our culture or family upbringing, and teach us how, as human beings, we grow, evolve, and deepen. The first fifteen:
The Fool: What does my heart tell me?
The Magus: How do I tell my truth?
The Priestess: How do I trust my intuition?
The Empress: How do I nurture?
The Emperor: How do I lead?
The Hierophant: Who are my teachers?
The Lovers: How do I love?
The Chariot: What’s my next adventure?
Adjustment: How do I find my balance?
The Hermit: How do I find my inner light?
Wheel of Fortune: Are you ready for good fortune?
Lust: What my passion?
The Hanged Man: What’s my hang-up?
Death: What do I need to let go of?
Art: What do I need to create in my life?
