May your seeds sprout and start to grow.Light the fire inside your heart and start.It is time to awaken! Spring is coming, can you feel it? When I look outside today I see everlasting Autumn in The Netherlands. We haven't really had a 'proper' winter, all but dark days and rain. But everything is still possible. Now I am not a Winter person so I am rejoicing at seeing the first flowers pop above the ground and show their bright and [...]

Ethony's 31 Day's of Tarot, YouTube challenge is back for 2020. This is the fifth year that the #31DaysofTarot2020 is happening across social media platforms. Because I am not yet back on YouTube (planning to though) and haven't been able to make time to post everyday, I decided to do the prompts daily for myself and post all the answers in bulk (in 3 parts). I do this exercise mainly for myself and for you to get to know me a [...]
Happy Full Wolf Moon! The first Full Moon of 2020. This Full Wolf Moon in Cancer is extra magical because it's also going to be a Lunar Eclipse. We are in emotional waters now and it pays off to pay attention to what challenges are coming up for you as they might be themes that will play out for you throughout the year. It's time to let go or change the things that are no longer serving you so that you [...]
Welcome to 2020!! Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to you. This month gives us the space to reflect on the lessons we learned this past year and to set intentions for the year to come. Let January be a time to restore and recenter yourself by letting go of what no longer serves you, so you can reconnect to that space of being conscious, being happy and most of all being you. For the first time in many years [...]
Hello there dear, thank you for visiting! How are you feeling these last days of the decade? Every year I offer year ahead tarot readings and I always do one for myself as well and I decided to share this with you today. For this reading I used the Dreams of Gaia Tarot, which is not a traditional deck and a system on its own. I always first let my intuition guide me but for this deck I also check what [...]
These are the 12 silent days between December 25 and January 6. The winter solstice has already happened, but during this period the nights stay about the same length. Only from January 6 do the days get noticeably longer every day. For the ancient Germans these were the holy days, the Rauhnächte. These were a time of purification, change and a new beginning. The ancient people during those holy days and nights performed their rituals to initiate a new fruitful year. [...]
Dear friend, How are you? How was Christmas for you. I hope you are now enjoying me-time and taking time to rest and reflect, but also look forward to the new year. I had a lovely Christmas. In The Netherlands we celebrate two Christmas days, the 25th and 26th of December. The first day I spent at friends' house with other friends, this is becoming a wonderful tradition, enjoying each others company, conversations, good food and drinks and card games (and [...]
Dear friend, Winter calls us to move inward for quiet reflection, but at this time we are expected to make this time merry by gathering together and seeking comfort in these dark days before a new year greets us. Whatever you prefer, listen to what you need right now and don't let the outside world pressuring you into anything. Especially now, in this inward Yin time, we can be very emotional and vulnerable. Mind your boundaries and energy, so you can [...]
