It's time to book your Hallowe'en or Spooky Season Tarot Party with The Little Witch!

There are several event times available, and you'll notice this year there are some public events that anyone can come for readings at, included on the calendar.

For Tarot Parties in your home, cottage, or Airbnb: Between 3 and 6 people will receive a full half hour reading, that you are encouraged to record on your phone to refer back to again and again. If you'll have more than 6 folks at your home party, the times will be adjusted for each person to fit into the four hour window.

There are evening times available during the weekdays (Monday to Thursday) not shown here, but as most people want weekend party dates for their witchy samhain or halloween parties, that's what has been focused on in the poster calendar.

There are also of course, several times available for in person, or Zoom, one-on-one readings through the month of October.

For the Event at Bear Pen Flower Farm: Connect with Kimberley of Bear Pen Flower Farm in Coldwater to book your individual appointment time for a 15 minute tarot reading in the unique and spooky shop! Spaces will be limited.
Kimberley is also going to have several other things for you to do as part of the Witches Night Out event, on October 17th.

It's the day before the Coldwater Witches Walk, and an excellent warm up if you're going to the event on the 18th (or, if the Witches Walk is too cold for you, the event at Bear Pen is a perfect alternative. It's a nice temperature, you'll be surrounded by other witchy folks who are eager to make connection while you participate in all the creative events Kimberley has planned!)

For the Event at the Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre: The Little Witch will have a walk-up table and will be doing quick readings on a "tip what you can" basis, on the evening of Friday October 25. It's an all ages event, and there will be lots of fun things to do at the Centre. Connect with the GBNFC for more details on how to participate in this Halloween celebration.

Although Lori-Grace is based in the Midland Ontario area, travelling to parties a little further away is possible. The available times might change, depending on the distance from Midland area.

For inquiries about booking a Tarot Party, you can use the form on The Little Witch website, or email Lori-Grace directly, or call and leave a message.

The Little Witch is going to be at the Port Cafe for a super special "Dinner & A Medium" Night. A unique experience and a night of curious fun for the Cafe patrons.

The Port Cafe, located on Georgian Bay in Port McNicoll, contacted Lori-Grace to do this special evening after searching for local Psychics on Google. They were requesting a "Theresa Caputo" style event, and The Little Witch agreed that it would be a perfect time to do it! The date was set for September 25, 2022, and sold out by word of mouth in two days.

All the tickets are sold, but there is another evening in the works already, as the Port Cafe has been getting consistent phone calls asking if tickets are still available for the event. Both Port Cafe and The Little Witch will have information about the next event on their Facebook pages.

The space is perfect for this event, as it's intimate enough that everyone will be able to see and hear the Psychic Medium clearly, but the small diner has enough room for the Psychic reader to pace around the room and see everyone clearly to deliver the spirit messages. It's also small enough that anyone should be able to record their readings on their devices.

 LorLori Grace has some very specific ways she does Medium work, so that she doesn't feel like she's cheating, and so the clients attending the dinner event also feel they are getting a true medium experience. A copy of the "how to prepare for a medium reading" is hanging on the Port cafe cork board for all to read before the event, and was also posted on Lori-Grace's facebook page.

Lori-Grace lives in the small town of Midland, on beautiful Georgian Bay. Known locally as "The Little Witch,", she has also been Nicknamed "The Mother of Witches" due to her mentorship of young and new folks on their witchcraft journey, that attend or take her classes at the School of Witchery. And also for all the young and new folks through the years that she's councelled and guided with her Spirit Guided Tarot Readings.

Lori-Grace has 27+ years of experience serving the Town of Midland with Spirit Guided Tarot readings, Psychic Medium readings, and teaching classes to curious folks.

If you are curious about having Lori-Grace attend your event, for this sort of Medium and Dinner event,  you can contact her here using the form on this blog.

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.

I feel like I've been hibernating over the winter holiday. Here it is, January 2, and there's a new fire lit under me.
Interesting what tapping into the energies around us can do.
I personally don't get excited for "new year", although I do get excited for new schedulers, date books, and calendars. The New Year isn't on my list of celebrations. No incense gets lit for new years eve or day.

But, because so many others are filled with celebrations and optimism, I like to tap into THAT energy, and add it to what I've got going on.

Today, I had a Zoom Tarot Party. The bookings are starting to come in, and I've tapped into the New Year Energy and excitement to kick my butt out of hibernation mode and into "be a strong and present tarot reader" mode.

Ive got my new Monthly planner calendar with all the things I'll share through the month. My new coil book scheduler, which helps me stay on track not only with business, but with all the other tasks and hobbies I have.

And, I have SO MANY STICKERS - haaaaa. I do love stickers.

If I'm NOT online, but you are ready NOW, as a new user you can take advantage of this 10 minute offer, with a reader who is available right now:

It's not often these days that I use Keen for phone readings. When I'm available, you'll see the button above say so. If I'm on a reading, it will put you next in line to speak to me. 

I do quite a few Instant Messaging readings, because sometimes the neighbourhood is noisy! When I was co-renting Three Crows Speak Art gallery space, I would have the IM on anytime there wasn't someone in the Orillia Gallery.

But the phone readings have fallen to the wayside. This is mostly because I've discovered that I really like the face to face interaction of Zoom readings! However, I know not everyone has internet or wifi where they are, and so I still have my phone account set up. It feels like an old school throw back to my Miss Cleo days.

With the phone tarot readings, you can't see that I'm shuffling, or when I'm closing my eyes, or making the little hand signal that I do by habit, to indicate that I'm getting spirit guide messages for you. But trust me, it's happening.

When I'm reading for you on the phone, I'm sitting in my quiet office completely focused on your voice in my one ear, and what spirit whispers in the other.
Sometimes I'm sitting at the laptop desk that I have set up to do my psychic and tarot business, and other times I'm sitting on the daybed, with the cards all spread out in front of me, and my cell phone in my lap.

If you are ready and prefer a phone reading, rather than a Zoom reading, the preparation for your call is still the same.

I've created a "How to Word Your Question Well" note, so that you will be best prepared and make the most of your time with me.

When it comes to phone readings, it's important to understand that the rate noted on that page is in US dollars. You are in control of what you spend, but I usually recommend that you allow 10 to 15 minutes per question, to really feel out and understand what Spirit is trying to say to you about your topic.

Keen keeps all your information private - I won't see your phone number, or any of your personal details. If you don't want to set a name to your account, it will keep what I see as a "Client number", and so that allows you to remain anonymous also.


When I first started doing psychic tarot for clients on the phone, it was through the Miss Cleo lines. Remember those? It was 1999, and I was brand new at reading for others. It was busy!
Several years after that, I worked as a contractor for California Psychics. I treated it like a job, logging in for 3 hours a day, keeping track of my calls so I knew what my average call was -  because at that time , the readers had to maintain an average of 20 minute phone calls.

It was a challenge though, as they would have free minute promos, and people would routinely call, use those 3 minutes, and not pay for more ... so it would bring down the  average call time, and bump the reader to the bottom of the call list. Feeling like I HAD to keep clients on longer felt NOT right to me. If I had delivered the answer to their question in 10 minutes, that should have been the end of the call.

 I discovered Keen in 2002. A Middle man type site, where I could create my own listings, work when I wanted to, without having to maintain a weekly hour commitment, or an average phone call time. This felt much better. And still gave me all the benefits that I was looking for with a phone line.

And it continues to feel better using it. Those early days on the phone lines where I worked as a contractor were so stressful. In my professional tarot practice now, I absolutely cannot read for clients if I'm stressed - how am I supposed to deliver news of calm and clarity to clients, if I'm stressed out about keeping them on the phone?

I basically log in to be available for phone readings when I have no other appointments, meetings or classes... and when I feel compelled to log in randomly (which honestly usually happens when the Universe "pings" me, that I am required to assist someone THERE.)

When I am doing IM Readings, I'm sitting at my desk, with the cards out on the table, just like when I do the Friday Funday readings. I type between 65  and 90ish words a minute, so the pauses will happen in IM readings when I"m shuffling, or forming how to word the messages for you.

Reading Tarot long distance is very similar to the idea of remote viewing, or distance reiki. We are all connected, and when we ask Spirit or Source to connect us, it does so instantaneously. I've been doing these remote readings a LONG time, and I find it easy to connect this way.

It's finally here! Keeping Her Keys, An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft.  It took 7 weeks to arrive which felt like an eternity, but Gods will work in their own good time.

When poking around to find out about the book, I discovered that the author, Cyndi Brannen is from Nova Scotia (Canada) and that made my heart sing! I've got a bit of an obsession with Nova Scotia, and getting back there, and this was just another a-ha connection for me.

The book is set up in lesson plans, to take you through a year and a day of study. This pleases me greatly. To commit to a practice takes time, and I tend to chew through books pretty quickly. This book is forcing me to take my time, and keep notes.

I got the Hekate nudge in winter, during the deep dark "Is it ever going to end?" days of February. I was doing a lot of writing, and a lot of study. When I came across this book in my news feed at Facebook, it felt like the right time to open up to this energy.

And already, she's been chatty with me, and I take that as affirmation of my continual path.

I feel like this also corresponds with my move into Orillia with tarot readings. Having a permanent tarot office type space there is a big commitment on my part, and I feel like the deepening of my practice with my path is connected to this, too. (I am using an art studio on Peter Street South to do readings in, by appointment only.)

Last night was the full moon, and it really does feel like "full speed ahead" in my magical life. It helps that we're having summer weather now, too, I suppose, but I'm grabbing the energy of the summer/full moon/tarot/Welcome Hekate vibe and dancing vigourously with it.

I imagine the knowledge from this course is going to also spill out into the energy work that I do, the kitchen witchery, and the garden-love that all weaves within my practice. Part of the course is to keep a note book solely for the purpose of recording exercises and experiences associated with the year and a day Keeping Her Keys course. I expect to see much overlap with all the other aspects of my life, as this encourages witchcraft in every day life.

If you have done this study course, I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments section!

Blessed Day!

Did you see The Little Witch walking around the Midland Ontario Butter Tart Festival? She was wearing a tall black hat, and carrying a black lacy parasol. That was me!
I was giving away little gifts to people downtown at the Butter Tart Festival on Saturday. They were post cards with a ballot for a free draw that Wand n Cauldron was doing for the day.
Attached to the little post cards that had directions on the for getting to the shop on Manly Street was a little  key chain with a semi precious stone attached, that Melissa from Wand n Cauldron had made herself.

The Festival itself felt much more organized this year. There were still a tonne of people there, but it seemed like the layout used this year left more room to move and get around. It was also great to see all of the local stores having tables and tents out to promote their stores too!
(unfortunately my office is just off the beaten track, and was hiding behind a bunch of sod they had laid out on Elizabeth Street for a golfing game that looked like it was for kids. My office is a few buildings behind the Midland Public Library, and there was also a bunch of porta potty's down that strip too, so there really was no point sitting in my office at all. )

Although the most popular tart vendors sold out around noon, there were still lots of butter tarts available to be had. I bought mine at Grounded Coffee Co a little later in the day (sometime after having my lunch on the grass at Midland waterfront. )

Strolling up and down King Street on Saturday was pleasant. I had no where else I had to be and no time frame to adhere to. I got to have a bunch of conversations with strangers and friends on the day of the festival. (Mostly about the tag on my witch hat, and my parasol!)

It was so much fun to help out a friend promote her new business. Funnily enough, I didn't hand out any of my own business cards. Between dragging the cart around that had my water bottle, purse, camera and puppets in, it just seemed too complicated to get any thing else done other than hand out the little flyers.  (yes, I am also a puppeteer. I make videos and post them on youtube with my puppets, although it was difficult at the Butter Tart Festival to pull them out and get any decent footage...)

Did you see me on that day, and take any photos with me? It was such a crazy day that I didn't even get any info from anyone that had a photo taken with me, but I'd love to see them! Connect with me and I can even post them here if you are willing to share!

I'm already excited for next year.

Lori-Grace.
