Where oh Where has The Little Witch been?
Well, I had my turn with THAT VIRUS that everyone is bored of hearing about.
Although today, at this time, I'm still coughing and wheezing and doing a lot of annoying throat clearing, apparently I'm not contagious anymore... so...

While I was 'down with the sickness', the appointments kept rolling in and I had to do a lot of "Can we do this later?" email chats. Now, I'm playing catch up.

Last week I had a bunch of corporate and college events that had to be completed, using Zoom, and this week I'm rebooking the folks who booked during the week that I was sick.

We're closing in on being able to meet without so many restrictions, but as I am hosted mainly at Wand n Cauldron in Midland for readings, we'll be going by the shop rules. I'm still only doing medium readings over Zoom at this time. the Wand n Cauldron always has

I am also starting to book summer parties already! We are planning to do the readings out of doors at this point, but sitting outside in summer sounds JUST FINE to me, while the snow is floating around out there. If you are going to be visiting the Midland area and want to have me come and read Spirit Guided Tarot at your party, event or cottage, NOW is the time to secure your weekend! (I know it sounds early, but summer weekends always book up so quickly.)

So, although I've been hiding out a bit because I was ill, I'm back to work just in time for spring break, march break, and better weather!

In person Spirit Guided Tarot readings with Lori-Grace, The Little Witch, over winter!

It feels so very strange and wonderful to think about being able to sit in person with folks this winter. The in person readings will continue to happen at Wand n Cauldron on Manly street in Midland Ontario, during the regular hours in the metaphysical shop. The shop is always cozy warm in winter.

Right now, they are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon till 6 until Yule / Christmas. After that, the hours may change.

For the most part, I'm doing readings by appointment only. If you happen to come in and I'm already doing readings, you can inquire about a 'by chance' appointment for that day. But, it's so much better to book the appointment ahead of time, so that you have time to prepare for the advice. Prepping your questions, having them written down, and having time to meditate on what is really important to ask makes the reading so much better.

Also, having the time to make sure that you know how to record the reading on your phone gives a wholeness to the reading experience. Being able to access the words and messages a few days after the in person sit down adds a completeness to all that you've been guided to learn and repeats the tasks the cards and spirit guides may have for you to carry out.

Here are my current fees for both In-Person Tarot, and Zoom Tarot:

Psychic Tarot Readings Available in Midland Ontario:
In Person
Half hour Spirit Guide/Tarot reading: $60
One hour Spirit Guide/Tarot Reading: $100

Online Over Zoom Video:
Half hour Spirit Guide/Tarot Reading: $50
One hour Spirit Guide/Tarot Reading: $80

In person appointments still need to be arranged by email. (The option to self book on Lori-Grace's appointment calendar won't show sit down readings as an option.) This is so we can correspond one on one about times available and also how to prepare.

The weather can be unpredictable in Midland and Georgian Bay in winter (no matter what the weather forecast or the satellite weather says! Georgian Bay tends to do what she wants.) I have many clients that come from Barrie Ontario, Orillia Ontario, and Wasaga Beach and Collingwood. So, if the weather ends up being too stormy or snowy to drive in to your tarot appointment near me, it can be possible for us to connect over Zoom instead. These plans to cancel, reschedule, or do the reading over Zoom will be communicated before 10am on the day of your appointment, and Lori-Grace will connect with you over email all the details of special weather plans.

As of this time of writing, we still have to wear masks and show proof of double vaccination in order to sit in person. If these restrictions change, we'll let you know in our correspondence in setting up appointments what will be expected.

Medium readings are still only happening over Zoom right now. The way Medium readings work for me require a quiet atmosphere, and there's SO much going on at Wand n Cauldron! When doing the in person Spirit Guided tarot at the Pagan / Witch store, I still get very loud Spirit messages. (I have all the clairs in use when using the cards, and get messages from your Spirit Guides for you during a read.)

To enquire about booking your in person reading this winter, you can use the form on the home page to connect, or email The Little Witch here.

There's an excitement in purchasing your first tarot deck, but what's the best way to learn how to read the cards, and learn to read them without the need to refer to the little guide book that comes with them?

Working with your cards everyday for a year will help you to learn how to read your new tarot cards, but that's a long road. It's possible to learn the basics and read them without referring to the long notes in as little as 6 weeks.

It's completely possible to learn your cards yourself, but the best way to cut that learning short is to take a class with someone who has done all the years of work and can give you all of the 'cheat notes' to fast track your understanding, and your own intuition. Working together with someone who's figured out many small tricks and can pass those on to you is a short cut to you using your cards intuitively.

Look for a tarot teacher who has created a system that is easy to understand, and has had experience successfully teaching other students how to read tarot. This means they will have fine tuned their program, while knowing how to guide you through learning your tarot deck so you'll be reading the cards in the quickest time possible.

The best way to learn how to read tarot is working 1-on-1 with your tarot teacher and having a tarot class specifically made for the way you learn, is the ideal way to commit to reading your cards. This way, you can learn the deck of your choice, rather than the specific deck they choose to teach. You can also have the course tailored to your specific learning style, and be able to ask questions and get feed back in live time.

However, if you don't have the time to meet with a teacher consistently, taking an online course by a teacher who is still available to you for questions is a great option. With an online video course, you can access your classes at what ever time of day works for you.

The School of Witchery offers a "Learn to Read Intuitive Tarot" class, taught by Lori-Grace. Lori-Grace has taught tarot to individuals and to groups since 2004. Her online Tarot class teaches you in 6 weeks, how to interpret all Minor and Major Arcana, how to read several tarot spreads, and so many little connections and tricks throughout the whole course.

Although the course is on video, as part of the course Lori-Grace offers extra 1-on-1 time to the video students some live meeting time for you to ask extra questions you may have.

Lori-Grace has developed a system of reading and teaching tarot over 26 years, and teaches her students all the tricks and tips that have created her professional and busy tarot practice.
