It’s All A Dance Possibly a lot of you have been affected by the US 2016 election of Donald Trump and his subsequent inauguration and may be doing a dance finding your equilibrium while being buffeted by an onslaught of overwhelming information on new developments.

What Are We Inaugurating?

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Julia Hesse | 0 Comments

An Inauguration Spoiler Alert! I am usually an independent or Green Party voter. This year I registered Democrat so I could vote for Bernie. I strive to maintain an attitude and language of inclusiveness so this post is in no means meant to support one political ideology over another. I believe that all viewpoints have something of value and underneath…

I live in the beautiful area of Southwest Colorado where the high mountains meet the high deserts of the Ancient Puebloans, formally referred to as the Anasazi.

Posted on February 21, 2016 by Julia Hesse | 1 Comments

I like to say that Tarot can show us a picture of where we are in our lives and provide us with a map to get us where we want to go. One way to do that is to work with your Tarot profile using the numerology of your birthdate and figuring which major arcana cards are associated with it. One…

How Is A Collapsed Yurt Like the Tower Card?
