Card Description:
Death, numbered 13 in most decks, is usually depicted by a skeleton or reaper riding a white horse or on foot, sometimes with the sun or moon rising behind him.
Death is surrounded by dying people of all castes/classes, from commoners to nobility; a woman looks on, distraught by the fall of the king. The reaper often carries scythe or a flag emblazoned with a rose signifying life, set against a gray background, which many think symbolizes uncertainty. A child can sometimes be seen in some versions of the card, which can mean curiosity or
Card Mythos:
Freeing himself from the tree where he was hung, clearing his head of visions, the Fool continues his journey on the road of life. He walks through a field in winter, the trees bare and the fields barren, he feels somehow empty. As the sun rises he comes upon Death, mounted on a white steed. Death stops as the Fool approaches him and the Fool inquires of him, “Am I dead?”, Death tell him that in a way, he is, he has lost his former self and life.
The Fool begins to cry, and excuses himself for this, Death tells him that it is natural to mourn his loss, and he must do so in order to be receptive to new things. The foliage must wilt and leave the trees branches bare before new growth can begin. Death continues on his way and the Fool, considering what he has been told, understands the truth, that he is like the skeleton, stripped down to bone so that a new transformation can take place.
Card Meaning:
Death doesn’t refer to the physical death but instead usually to a major life change, a rebirth spiritually. It can mean an end to something as well, a relationship or a conflict, clearing the path of old issues and making way for a new journey. Death does not discriminate, and there will be sorrow, but it will make way for joy. Querents often fear the Death card, but most of the time it is more a symbol of hope than something to be worried about.
When the death card shows up in a reading, the querent should step back and really think about all the things going on in their life, and tie up any loose ends, and clear away any unfinished business. It’s also a time for re-evaluating one’s routine and goals in life. Now is the time to come to terms with these changes and learn from them. It is a time to move on from any losses and look toward the future.
Card Associations:
Rebirth, inescapable change, transition, sadness, loss, transformation, leaving behind old ways, regeneration, creation, end of a cycle, deep change, good-byes, conclusion, change, spiritual renewal, change or growth, sex, attaining a higher level.

It’s come to my attention that summer is right almost upon us! Memorial day is coming. In June we’ll see the summer Solstice is right around the corner. Family and friends having barbeques, the pool party invites are pouring in by the dozen.
The season of summer seems to be biting us all like the mosquitoes. So to kind of kick off the summer I’ve decided to make a list of summer fun and things to avoid. Hopefully everyone will have the best summer ever!
Summer Fun:
1. Plan some Summer Activities – If you have children of any age great summer activities are the best way to keep the kids busy when school is out. Why not try something like making home made ice cream? Nothing says hello summer than some ice cream on a hot day.
2. Get a Psychic Reading – Find out if that cute guy you keep talking to could be the start of a summer romance. You never know he could end up being the one you’ll stay with through the long winter months ahead.
3. Get out and Enjoy the Weather – Who said you had to stay home when summer is breaking out of the shell? Why not go on a vacation and enjoy some time with some family or even some great friends? Maybe go on a picnic with that new cutie you’ve met? Spending some time outside could be the best answer to your lingering winter time blues.
Things to Avoid:
1. Sun Burn – Every summer since I can remember usually starts off with me forgetting that the sun can burn me. Blisters aren’t a very classy thing to sport while in your hot summer gear. Plus years later you wouldn’t want to do some damage to your skin that you couldn’t’ reverse. Like that popular song said ‘Always wear your sunscreen’…Maybe a hat too just to be safe.
2. Alcohol – Alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body. Extreme heat and alcohol can equal serious injuries, illness and even death. So be careful when consuming the product and make sure you keep your self hydrated with things like juicy fruits such as watermelon, cucumbers, corn on the cob. Or keep some classic summer time drinks like lemonade, ice tea or even some fresh ice water available.
3. Being Bored! – The thing to avoid this summer is getting caught in the bored vortex. Get out and have some fun. It’s summer time!
Don’t forget about our summer loyalty contest either! Just call in to get your readings, and you could be one of our lucky winners! Details here!

In my research, I found some very interesting things about this particular holiday. One of them being this is not a Mexican or Latino holiday and is usually confused with the Mexico’s Independence Day. It’s actually a holiday about fighting the giant and the United States Civil war.
The United States recognizes Cinco de Mayo as a holiday as it would for say St. Patrick’s Day (for the Irish), Oktoberfest (for the Germans), and the Chinese New Year (for most Asian cultures). Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate the ancestry of Mexican and Latino cultures.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over Napoleon III and his French army. You see back then, Mexico had many wars. You have the Mexican American war of 1846-1848, then the Mexican Civil war of 1858, and the reformed wars of 1860. I could quite imagine the treasury department back then was about ready to jump ship with all the debt Mexico had been getting into.
They owed money to Britain, Spain, and France. America at the time was in its own civil war (1861-1865) so providing assistance was about impossible. Britain and Spain were willing to have some type of agreement and allow the Mexican government some time before resuming payments to them for the debt. The French on the other hand invaded Mexico in late 1861 driving out the Mexican president Benito Juarez, and causing the government to retreat.
Many historians say that Napoleon III or France really only wanted to occupy Mexico for a completely different reason. They didn’t really want Mexico for any type of personal gain but instead they wanted a foot in the door to help other interests inside the United States. Napoleon III was known for helping
Confederate Rebels against Union armed forces during the American Civil war (1861-1865). When France met heavy resistance from the people in Puebla, the Mexican people promptly kicked them to the curb for a little over a year.
The Battle of Puebla was only a short lived victory but one that would go down in the history books. The French army at the time was one of the strongest in the world. They went into Mexico with 8,000 men and fought 4,000 Mexicans (who were poorly equipped) and still got served.
Napoleon’s troops weren’t able to re-establish their foot holds for a little over a year and were unable to support Confederate rebels with supplies against Union Forces. That year given by those who fought at the Battle of Puebla gave the Union time to build defenses against the Confederate Rebels and take them out at the infamous Battle of Gettysburg July 1st-3rd 1863. Of course, once the Union knew they were on the way to victory they then helped the Mexican government to rise and take out French occupation.
So let’s celebrate Cinco de Mayo in style! I’ll be grabbing my sombrero and going to the local festivals for some entertaining Mexican / Latino celebrations. During my celebration, I’ll remember and honor those who have fought to keep the United States a melting pot of many different cultures.

Flowers are blooming and the cool weather is making way for warmer days. Spring is officially here! Here is a list of flowers that represent each sign of the zodiac.
Aries: Being a confident, passionate, and energetic fire sign, the flower to best represent you would be a bright red tulip. The red tulip is dazzling and radiates energy much like you!
Taurus: There is a romantic and warmhearted side to you underneath all your stubbornness. Being a well-rounded earth sign, you appreciate the pure beauty of things and nature. Taurus’ birth flower is the lily. The smell of lilies will help bring out the softer, more romantic side of your personality.
Gemini: Geminis are known for being very creative and having very playful personalities. Like most air signs, Geminis make great companions. The birth flower for Gemini is the rose. The rose is given to represent passion or friendship.
Cancer: Cancers are known to be the most sensitive signs of the zodiac. The birth flower for this water sign is the delphinium. The dolphin shaped flowers are a perfect match for the water sign Cancer and have a certain lightness to them, which symbolizes your openheartedness.
Leo: Leo’s are the most dominant of all zodiac signs. Standing tall and confident, Leo’s birth flower is the sunflower. Sunflowers are the perfect match for the fire sign because they stand tall and bright over the rest!
Virgo: Virgo’s are known to be very diligent, practical and reserved. The daisy is the birth flower of this earth sign. Simple and delicate looking but have a fun carefree way about them.
Libra: Libra’s are known to be very popular, charming and social people since they are generally very thoughtful and gentile. Thee hydrangea is the best fit for this earth sign. With their star-shaped pom-poms and long wooden stems, the hydrangeas signify the balance between opposites. Great match for Libra!
Scorpio: This water sign is known to be the most intense of the zodiac signs. Scorpio’s are very passionate and often ruled by their emotions and can be a bit intense. The best fit for the bold Scorpio would be red peonies. With their full shape and romantic shade they are the perfect flower to represent the Scorpios bold yet passionate self.
Sagittarius: This passionate fire sign is known for being independent and free thinkers. Being a Sagittarius, I know that we are often restless and get bored easily also so the carnation makes sense as our birth flower. Carnations capture our multi-dimensional side with their beautiful petals and bold look. The carnation is one of the most popular flowers because they tend to last a while which also makes them a good match for us because Sadges are also known for our strength and endurance.
Capricorn: Capricorns are usually very grounded and ambitious. An earth sign, caps are dependable and practical but have a creative side. The soft, delicate petals and vibrant colors of the African violet go hand in hand with the Capricorns delicate nature and can help bring out their creativity.
Aquarius: Those born under this air sign are known to be very honest and friendly. Aquarians have a strong sense of loyalty and are very beautiful and charming. Orchids are the birth flower for Aquarius and will highlight their honest beauty.
Pisces: Usually the most understanding and patient, Pisces have an easygoing nature and a very open heart. This water sign goes with the flow and therefore is able to get along with almost everyone. Pisces are usually not the ones in the spotlight and are often uncomfortable being the center of attention which is why their birth flower is the Alstroemeria. The alstroemeria is a bit like a lily with their delicate, soft buds and quiet beauty.

By: Kingston da Bulldog, AKA: Foretel’s Mascot
Da other day, as I was enjoyin some sun on my beautifully built body, I heare a meeting happening between my Mommy and da girls from da office of Foretel. Usually I sleep right thru it but this time I needed to set these girlz straight! One of da girls said something about her puppy and how he wiggles a lot and asked if dogs dream. ‘YES! We do!’ I wanted to yell, I walked on over to my Mommy and tried to tell her my answer. But she can’t speak dog, so here I am.
Anyway, to sets da record straight when we twitch, quiver, or growl at phantom enemies it’s because we are dreamin. Believe it or not most of da time we just dream about dog stuff. For example, last night I had a dream about my Lulu (my absolute favorite stuffed-ted-ed animal toy) and we played some of my favorite games had a good time. Even after Lulu turned into my Kitty girlfriend (yeah she’s a real cat and you know what I love her even if that sounds taboo). Since I could still remember da meeting before Mommy taked me to da park, I decided to talk to some of da other guy from da park.
As soon as we get into da park I see Fluffy (da Doberman, yeah I can’t explain that one Maybe he’s parents is just stoopid?). He and I sniffed-ted-ed up a conversation while our parents talked-ted-ed. Fluffy says that he keeps having a re-occurrin dream where he gets to attack this strange man that tried to hurt his friends and ends up being a hero. He said he woke-ted-ed up in da middle of da dream only to realize that dare was nothing dare (See? Stoopid.)
Fluffy had to leave a little bit after we had started our conversation. His parents had gotten dare a lot earlier than Mommy and I. So we said our goodbyes and I walked-ted-ed further into da park. Dare weren’t very many people here today but at least I was able to talk to a few more friends.
After Fluffy left, I picked up the sent of Monte (He’s a Sootish Teror? He’s got a stoopid accent, nice guy but really to into da whole Kennel club breeding thing for me.) He tolded me about his dream where he keeps diggin wholes in da ground. Once, in a dream, every time he would go and dig a whole it was magically covered over before he would start da next one.
‘At first, fur some reason Ah was tryin’ to blame ‘at moggie mommy keeps aroond th’ hoose. It was’na stalkin’ me in mah dream. Then it suddenly didn’t matter anymore. Ah just dug an’ dug an’ kept goin until ah thought ah had dug big enough hole, only to want to dig some more’. (yeah, see stoopid accent, maybe you can translate it? At some point Monte got all twitchy and started diggin a hole. I guess talking about it made him feel da need? I didn’t want to be apart of da diggin party since dare was only room for one and went to find some of my other friends.
I wuz walkin up to da dog run and I sniffed into Terry (he’s a mix of a couple breeds, cool guy we’ve played a few times before. He’s kind of stoopid, he neva sits still.) He says he dreams about chasing things that is, until his parents threw a ball. He left me sitting dare mid sentence, which makes him double stoopid. After that point I decided to sort of walk around sniffin things maybe get into a friendly wrestlin game with some of my friends. This dream thing can wait while I play!
As da day went on, I noticed that one of da girls from da Foretel office was at da park with her puppy friend Ollie. After I got her to calm down about seeing me again (she’s stoopid too, but friendly and talks with a girly blondy voice), we started to talk about dreams. ‘Sometimes I’ll have dreams where like I’m singin songs or talkin with like Mommy and Daddy… Shinny objects / lights always like haunt my dreams. Just something so exciting about like… OMG cardboard!’ yeah told u she waz stoopid, Dat’s a direct quote from her. She took one look at da trash can, seen da empty cardboard box and off she went with her mommy running after her. I think she ate it.
It was time to leave and go over to my Cousin Notchee’s house. After getting out of da vehicle I had to wait for her to calm down and stop playing with me to ask her a few questions about her dreams. My cousin says she dreams about all kinds of things like ‘diggin wholes in the ground, playing with my favorite cong toy or Frisbee, sometimes I’ve had nightmares.
Like once I had a dream I was human!’ She started going a mile a minute going on about having to pay taxes (whatever that is) and somethin about paying bills (I’m not even sure SHE knows what that is). She stopped talking at that point and tried to wrestle me to da ground. I guess she figured out I wasn’t listening.
So folks see we do dream and it’s different for every dog I guess based off of things your best friend likes to do with you or da family. So da next time someone says day aren’t sure if dogs dream you can confidently say ‘YES day do! Because Kingston told me so.’

Taurus women are down-to-earth beauties with vibrant skin and thick lush hair. By nature, Taureans are stylish and passionate with their appearance so their hair, clothes and makeup will always look immaculate. Celebrity bull, Megan Fox emanates the sensual beauty from this star sign.
The young actress is in love with the complement of waves and curls. Her long dark chocolate brown color tresses are very good alternative for waves and curls perfectly suit with a Taurus’ radiating eyes. Layering is key to Megan’s perfect haircut because it adds body to flat hair, texture to thick hair and control to curly hair.
When consulting with your stylist about layers be careful not over layer the back. Ask your stylist for just a few layers in the back. Too many layers and you may end up with a mullet, a heavy top and straggly, anemic ends.
Layers should be cut in the front to frame the face. If you have short hair, don’t let your stylist cut layers above the eye. If you have long hair, never allow layers above your earlobe or you risk a dated look.
To get Megan Fox’s hair, factor in some serious blow drying time. Blow-dryer in hand, begin by focusing on the back of your head (this is where professional stylists start), lifting hair at the root with your fingers and concentrating on drying the roots thoroughly. When the roots are dry (this will take approximately 5 minutes), part your air down the middle all the way down the back of your scalp, as if you were going to create pigtails. Push these two large sections of hair toward your face.
Aim the blow dryer down the shaft of the hair and brush each section toward your face, using a wide paddle brush to smooth your natural curl pattern.
Remove the center part and continue to brush and blow dry your hair, moving the paddle brush in the opposite direction of hair growth to achieve maximum volume. Tousle your hair at the root with your finger tips to get additional lift and softness around the face.

Easter is a holiday typically observed by Christians all across the world, but nowadays you might see it as something extremely commercialized. Everyone wants to stock up on their candy, eggs, baskets, and little rabbit toys.
We’ve known for a long time that Easter really isn’t about the jelly beans and the peeps and all the other small frivolities, but somewhere along the way the holiday just became something much easier to sell with all that’s around us.
Easter was originally linked to the Passover and Exodus from Egypt in the Old Testament of the bible. In the New Testament, Jesus prepares himself for his death by enjoying Passover with his disciples.
He sacrificed himself, like a lamb to be slaughtered during this religious time, for the sins of the people and suffered to see their anguish at an end. Three days after he died, he rose from the dead to walk among his disciples once more as their guide and savior.
Today, Easter is celebrated as a time of sacrifice and penitence. Lent, the religious cycle predating the Easter celebration, is a time where people fast in some way in order to abstain from a piece of their lives and to sacrifice some small part of themselves for the holiday. Some people wipe sweets from their diet or give up their favorite pastime to show how devoted they are.
When Easter Sunday finally arrives, a family comes together to give thanks for their God; they celebrate by eating, playing games, and going to church to honor this holy day.
Because Easter is a moveable holiday, it often coincides with the beginning of Spring, which is, of course, a time of new birth. We look at spring and think of all the new flowers, the baby animals that are being born, and the weather brightening. Temperatures rise and we almost feel as if we’ve come out of a long sleep, opening our eyes to the world again.
In that sense, Easter, too, is about rebirth and new life. With the resurrection of Jesus, we are reminded that death is not the end. We celebrate our good fortune with our families and remind ourselves that we can do better this year. We can change ourselves and become new people.

We’re entering a very celebrated time of year right now. Spring is a time of renewal and beauty, when the earth begins to flourish, the sun is out a little bit more, and the weather paves the way for the heat of summer. Spring is also a time for celebration in many cultures, but we’re only focusing on this week for now. We hope to provide some insight to a few traditions and celebrations coming up this week.
This week we are going to see several celebrations taking place, as we leave the traditional time for cherry blossom festivals, Easter, and Passover. Passover or Pesach is one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays. Passover is observed over seven days beginning on the 15 of the Jewish month of Nisan. (This is usually April.)
The first and second nights are celebrated with a ritual dinner, with a third taking place on the Friday during Passover. These ritual dinners are called Seder, Passover Seder is especially important because it is when the story of the Exodus is passed along.
The centerpiece of the dinner is the Seder Plate, which contains The Zeroah or roasted lamb shank bone symbolizes the paschal sacrifice made the night the ancient Hebrews fled Egypt. Some people think this symbolizes the outstretched arm of God (the Hebrew word zeroah can mean “arm”).
The Baytsah or roasted egg is offered as a sacrificial offering to the second temple, it is also said to represent the Hebrew people, you can burn them, but they will only become tougher.
Maror or “bitter herb” is usually horseradish, and the Chazeret, the secondary bitter herb on the Seder plate is carrots or horseradish greens. These are meant to recall the bitterness of slavery in Egypt, and should to help one reflect on their current enslavements, addictions, or habits.
The Charoset, the opposite of the Maror and Chazeret. A sweet salad of apples, wine, nuts, and cinnamon meant to represent the mortar that Hebrew slaves used to build with in Egypt.
The Karpas can be any spring green, though it is most often parsley, used to represent the freshness of spring, and new beginnings, and nobility. in addition, salt water to represent the tears and sweat of enslavement.
Matzah or unleavened bread plays a big part in the story of the exodus. The Matzot (plural) are placed on the table and covered with a cloth. The traditional number is 3, with a 4th added in recent history to symbolize the struggle of those who are not free to celebrate.
During Seder, the story of the ten plagues and the exodus from Egypt is told. The four youngest in attendance will each ask one of the four questions as part of the Seder, which are preceded by the question “Why is this night different from all other nights?”
The four Questions, which follow, are “Why is it that on all other nights during the year we eat either bread or Matzah, but on this night we eat Matzah?” “Why is it that on all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables, but on this night we eat bitter herbs?” “Why is it on all other nights we do not dip even once, but on this night we dip twice?” “Why is it that on all other nights we eat either sitting or reclining, but on this night we eat in a reclining position?”
Participants usually consume four cups of wine, it is assumed by most that each one corresponds to each of the promises of redemption; “I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you from their slavery, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. And I will take you to me for a people.” A cup of wine is left out for Elijah, and the front door left open in the hopes that he will join the family in their celebration.
For those of you celebrating this spring tradition, Chag Sameach! In our next post, we’ll take a closer look at Easter.

Card Description:
This card shows the wheel of the goddess Fortuna, turning clockwise with people, or animals falling from/climbing it. Atop it there is sometimes perched a sphinx holding the sword of discernment, representing balance in the face of constant fluidity.
It also usually features the word “TARO” and the four suits represented in any given deck; Wands, Cups, Discs/Pentacles, and Swords (all of which can be found on the magicians table). Also of note are alchemical symbols and frequently, Hebrew symbols as well.
According to Wikipedia, The letters on the wheel were intended by Waite to mean “Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator,” which he “translated” (this term used loosely) to: “The Wheel of Taro[t] speaks the Law of Ator [Hathor, or Love]”
In the four corners there will be figures, usually a bull, an eagle, a man, and a lion each having an open book. These will mean different things going by different traditions but they can be viewed as four fixed signs of the zodiac (Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, and Scorpio), the four gospels, the seasons, or the four angels of the apocalypse.
The mythos of the card:
The Major Arcana is also viewed as a life’s journey through the character of the Fool, (which is “zero” in the Major Arcana) and the challenges he will face. This card represents the introduction of random chance into the Fool’s life, which, can hinder or help him. He finds that all the good things he’s done in life seem to be returning to him three fold, reinforcing the concept of “What goes around, comes around.”
Card Meaning:
This card usually represents luck, change, or the Karmic cycle, a turning point. This card also symbolizes movement of fate, unexpected developments, life cycles, possibilities, abundance, and approachability. Usually a sign of positive change, or the end of a bad situation, it can have negative connotations. This will depend on the tone of the reading in general and the reader’s intuition.
Poor becoming rich or vice versa, this card can represent a lesson to be learned about your Karma and objectivity. If the querent is on their way down the wheel then they have to face up to something and learn from that, until they do the wheel will keep finding a way to try to teach its lesson.
The querent must keep an open heart and mind to receive life’s good fortunes, and lessons. The querent’s actions have placed them on the path they are on now, though the wheel injects seemingly random chances or opportunities into their life and they can not control the wheel, ultimately they will be the one responsible for the outcome.
