Sixteen-year-old Tyler Christensen went missing from the Edmonds, Washington area on April 19, 2016 and hasn't been heard from in over two years. I decided to subject this cold case to my "Train to Nowhere" missing-person spread. I used the Thoth deck and chose the Princess/Page/ Knave of Wands as Significator based on his youth … Continue reading Another Missing Tyler

Where Is Tyler? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: The missing sailor was found unharmed in another State. As I expected, this comes from the news agencies: "No other details about Tyler's circumstances were released." A young sailor has gone missing from Groton, CT after having left home on his Honda motorcycle last Tuesday. http://www.wmur.com/article/silver-alert-issued-for-missing-new-england-navy-sailor/19860623 Although I haven't been getting much satisfaction out … Continue reading Where Is Tyler? – A Missing Person Reading
Wait For The Ricochet
There is a 1970s hard-rock song by Deep Purple called Child in Time, replete with Ian Gillan's visceral moans and screams (remember "Primal Scream Therapy?"), with a verse that has me thinking about "outcome" cards. "Sweet child in time You'll see the line The line that's drawn between Good and bad See the blind man … Continue reading Wait For The Ricochet
Where Is Patrick? – A Missing-Person Spread
This is the kind of "cold-case" situation I've decided to concentrate on. This young New Hampshire college student went missing in 1987, possibly in connection with a drug deal. http://www.wmur.com/article/new-hampshire-unsolved-case-file-disappearance-of-patrick-merrill/19673486. I used my "Train To Nowhere" missing-person spread and the Tarot of Dreams, with reversals. I chose the Page of Swords as the Significator, https://parsifalswheeldivination.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/the-train-to-nowhere-missing-persons-spread/ … Continue reading Where Is Patrick? – A Missing-Person Spread
A “Chaldean Mirror” Example Reading
I decided to test my "Chaldean Mirror" spread with a weekly rather than a daily focus. I found out Monday that I did in fact break a rib last week, so I wanted to explore what the upcoming week looks like for my physical condition. I used the Liber T, Tarot of Stars Eternal for … Continue reading A “Chaldean Mirror” Example Reading
A “Tarot and Trauma” Vignette
Early last week while working on a construction project at home, I fell off a 4-foot step-stool while dismounting with tools in my hand when it tipped on the carpet. I landed on my feet and was immediately thrown off-balance (hold that thought, it's significant here), briskly back-pedaling my way into the corner of a … Continue reading A “Tarot and Trauma” Vignette
A Romantic Interlude Sample Reading
I was asked to write up a sample reading for this spread to show how it is to be approached, and chose this real-life scenario. I used the Golden Universal Tarot for the querent's line and the RWS Centennial Edition for the love interest's "moving lines." The querent is a young professional man and the … Continue reading A Romantic Interlude Sample Reading
Lunar Month Look-ahead for March-April 2018
Every month on the New Moon I perform my Lunar Month Look-ahead spread using only the Minor Arcana as described in an earlier post. Here is the reading for the monthly period beginning with the New Moon on March 17th. I used the Rohrig Tarot, with reversals. The eight subdivisions are based on psychological astrologer … Continue reading Lunar Month Look-ahead for March-April 2018
Where is Taina? (A Missing Person Spread)
Update: I learned something yesterday about missing-person coverage in the newspapers. If a person is found promptly, there is only a terse mention of that fact in the local news, with no details of the circumstances. I assume it's a privacy issue. At any rate, doing these readings on "live" cases has little or no … Continue reading Where is Taina? (A Missing Person Spread)
Twice Bitten, Thrice Shy
Those of you unfamiliar with the Ian-Hunter-penned song Once Bitten, Twice Shy will understandably be puzzled by the title of today's post. Hang in there. A woman of my acquaintance has twice contracted an infectious respiratory illness this winter during consecutive visits to her son's family, approximately two months apart. The first was a serious … Continue reading Twice Bitten, Thrice Shy
