October / November ’24 Announcements

Sage Sips blog is Tarot in the time it takes to sip your coffee.

Private Readings are OPEN

Even during the holidays. There may be some off and on delivery delays between now and New Year. It’s just me, by myself, doing this part time, so you’ll have that. For the most part if you order a reading, it will be in your inbox within 24 hours of my receiving the order. I’ll email you to confirm the order has arrived and give you any updates.

TaoCraft Tarot is OPEN

Call it the re-grand opening. TaoCraft Tarot’s online “grand opening” (basically changing the name on everything from Modern Oracle to TaoCraft Tarot) was October 2018. It’s perfect to come back home to that name in October 2024. The blog & substack is still “Sage Sips” but everything I can think of with “Sage Words Tarot” on it is back to TaoCraft. Why? Because I like it. It tells you who I am and the kind of Tarot reading you get with me. Mostly. A little cagey mysteriousness isn’t necessarily a bad thing in this business.

The New-New Stuff

I’ve re-worked the old five card reading to honor YOUR path and YOUR choices even more than before. The old layout is available 60% off until Halloween (a return to TaoCraft treat for you). The new TaoCraft Path layout will be available by email and zoom / phone for the same price as the old five card layout.

Meatspace Sabbatical

I don’t know how you are feeling, but the collective energy here in the US has gotten pretty radioactive lately. Every single private reading I’ve done for the past two weeks has been major arcana dominant to one extent or another. Private readings are definitely OPEN, but I’m taking a break from collective energy & social media readings until after the election results are in. If you need a reading you can order HERE. Otherwise I’ll be in my corner rage knitting and having stress doritos (this is WAY beyond popcorn, people!)

And above all, US eligible people, VOTE

Like Tarot? Vote Harris/Walz.

Like having civil rights and bodily autonomy? Vote Harris/Walz? Like the idea of not going extinct due to climate change? Vote Harris / Walz. Like access to healthcare? Vote Harris/Walz. Like basic human decency? Vote Harris/Walz.

See you on the other side.

Turn Stuck Upside Down

Hello and Welcome

It’s a little early, but I’m posting our seasonal hello and welcome to new readers for the #KofiPostChallenge that introduces the new pin a post function

Hi everyone! 

My name is Sage. I read Tarot, write blogs and knit stuff. 

I’ve read Tarot cards since 1993, professionally since around 2003. My specialty is email readings. 

Why email? I’m a writer. These Tarot readings are an extra good fit for first time Tarot readings, book lovers, introverts, and very busy people who want a Tarot reading but don’t want to fit another appointment into their schedule.

Typing out the Tarot reading for you is a relaxed mindset that is closer to channeling or automatic writing. Your message gets my fullest attention.  By working online I don’t need a physical location and pass those savings on to you.

All of my readings have flat rate, up front prices $5 – $40

You can order email readings 24/7, no appointment needed. Most orders are to your inbox within 24 hours or so. (It is just me, one real live person pulling real world cards, so the schedule has to be flexible)

You get a photo of your real world layout in your reading.

All of my policies are transparent, up front and spelled out on my main website HERE.

There are years of free general readings on the BLOG. Feel free to browse through them to see if you think we would be a good match to work together (and I hope we are)

If you enjoy a little (almost) daily Tarot, please check out my Sage Sips membership tier which includes on-request one card private Tarot readings for you along with discounts, special offers and exclusive content.

Sage Sips blog is Tarot in the time it takes to sip your coffee (or whatever you like to sip this time of day)

Cheers!

P.S. It’s still the dog days of summer and the cat is still shambling! Zombie Cat yes/no Tarot readings are still available to purchase until the autumn equinox and are a FREE upgrade to member readings.

Choose your card Tarot: anchor or float.

Sage Sips is Tarot for your day in the time it takes to sip your coffee.

The Heirophant (right): Anchor. Find your footing. What is your foundation? Go with what you know and take comfort in traditions to get through the next few weeks.

Six of Swords (left): Go with the flow. Now is not the time to fight upstream. Choose your battles, this is not the day for conflict. May mean travel for some who chose this card – a leisurely vacation is a better choice that an active, over-scheduled one.

The Star That Guides You

Sage Sips is Tarot for your day in the time it takes to sip your coffee.

The light that you shine is a reflection of the star that guides you.

I’m currently reading The Witches Coin by Christopher Penczak. In it he writes: 

“The way you look at the world is the way the world looks back.” and “how you see the world is how the world sees you.”

This reminds us of the two way flow, the interconnection between our inner intentions and the outer world. Affirmations, actions all conspire to co-create the world we desire. 

Like attracts like. Birds of a feather flock together. 

The Star is traditionally a card of hope and success. Today it feels like a promise. If you look for good, you’ll find it. If you look for connection, you’ll find it because if you make that the lense through which you see your world, that is how the world will see you, attracting like-minded people and like-energy circumstances to you.

Choose well the star that guides you because that is the light by which the world sees you – and the kind of world you will see. 

Sage Sips members get longer, detailed one card readings by email included in the membership along with discounts on larger layouts, special offers and exclusive content. Join HERE.

Anyone can order private Tarot readings by email or video 24/7 no appointment needed HERE.

Conversation with the Collective (#kofipollchallenge)

Sage Sips is Tarot for your day in the time it takes to sip your coffee

Tarot readers are good listeners.

We listen to our clients so we can focus on their energy and their message. (That’s why I always ask you to restate your name and question, topic, or request for each reading, even if you are a Sage Sips members and getting one of your free readings. Reading that is how I connect to your energy message.)

Then we listen to intuition / energy / spirit to tell you what we see/hear/feel

Listening to spirit can be a little fuzzy and a learned skill, but listening to clients is basic. It’s the foundation that the best readings are built on. Listening to YOU is when explicit, plain-language conversation is needed.

Tarot isn’t about reading minds (nothing does that, really. Stage mentalism can trick you into thinking that it does, “trick you into thinking _____” is the operative phrase there.)

So to make Sage Sips and the collective energy readings better I need the collective, YOU, to use the big-kid words and tell me what you want, like and need from these readings.

Just like we chat or email at the beginning of a private reading to make it the best it can be, polls and questions are a way to converse with the collective and make those readings the best they can be, too.

The comments are always open for your feedback, or contact me through the Ask Me Anything page. I’ll be posting some polls every now and then to make it even easier for you. Here is one:

Poll: What is your favorite kind of post so far?

Sometimes the questions will be focused on improving your blog & reading experience. Sometimes they will be just for funsies. I hope you’ll play along either way.

Thanks! See you at the next sip!

Want a private conversation (reading) instead of taking the collective poll? Order private readings HERE. Prices start at $5. No appointment needed for email/video readings.

Zombie Cat’s Summer Shamble Starts this evening.

Private Tarot readings are open this weekend. No appointment needed for email.

After stepping back and sending love and support to Pride Month, Zombie Cat will start to Shamble for the summer.

Ask Zombie Cat Anything on the AMA page OR order a private three card yes/no Tarot reading by email.

As always, Zombie Cat tells it like it is. All of Zombie Cat’s readings are 100% guaranteed to contain words and have a 50% chance of being dead wrong.

ps – I NEVER use AI in your readings. This is the first time I’ve tried it just because dammit I’m a writer not a cartoonist.

Choose Your Tarot Card: 23 May 24

Don’t vibe with your collective energy card? Private distance readings are open. No appointment needed for email or paper.

PAGE OF WANDS: “Know thyself” Act natural. Do you, and the path of least resistance will nudge you in the right direction.

That isn’t to say we should melt and fade at the first sign of a challenge. There is a lot to be said for persistence. At the same time, insanity is defined as doing the same thing persistently while expecting a different result. Sometimes roadblocks are there for a reason.

As a general rule, walking in harmony with the real you is the best way to go

THREE OF WANDS: Make plans, but keep your eyes open for unexpected opportunities. Good things come to those who wait.

Another way to say it is don’t sleepwalk through this thing on your mine (today, tomorrow, the upcoming week, a relationship, a career – whatever you had on your mind when you picked your card) Observe deeply. Little details might be the bright light bulb you need to light the way.

FIVE OF WANDS: Life is never all rainbows and roses. Train. Know what to do when the inevitable bad day happens for things to be ok in the end. Charge your batteries before the storm.

A paramedic instructor once said “prepare for the emergency and the emergency goes away.” When you are ready for life’s little stresses, the stress can go away even if the situation doesn’t fundamentally change.

Thanks for watching the video and coming to the blog for a few extra thoughts.

See you at the next sip!

Behind the Scenes: Tarot Diplomacy (aka real talk from your spirit guides)

Distance readings are my specialty! ORDER HERE

  • Same (or better) reading as you would get in-person
  • Lower cost than in-person
  • No appointment needed

It’s a learned skill.

And an internet meme.

James Bach, author of “Secrets of a Bucchaneer Scholar” once posted on social media that “People get defensive because they have something to defend.” It’s a normal, natural response and part of the learning process. After you read Tarot professionally for a while you learn not to take it personally. They’ll get over it. Or not. It’s up to them.

Sometimes the thing people are defending is something they actually need to change. Sometimes the “it” they are getting over is an honest answer that they didn’t want to hear. Nobody enjoys being called out on their s**t.

Sometimes being called out is exactly what we need.

As much as we enjoy indulging our confirmation bias, tempers flare when our biases are challenged instead.

As I read the cards, Tarot is usually a world of ideas, empowerment, encouragement, expanding horizons and gentle nudges. A little diplomacy goes a long, long way.

On the other hand, if subtle messages and gentle nudges are ignored, after a time our spirit guides (or however you think of these things) roll up their sleeves and break out the frying pan to the face method of communicating.

That’s the case here. Cups cards deal with emotions and close relationships. The emotion in question for the inverted four is moping and self-pity. There is no nonsense around the card today. Short, sweet and to the point, kind of like a caveman club over the head, the reversed four is telling us to stop moping, it’s time to move on. Wallowing in self-pity serves no one here. AKA …Knock it off!

Fire alarms aren’t quiet, subtle or diplomatic. They are loud and in your face and don’t care about feelings.

It isn’t fun for anyone when things get tense or feel confrontational. That’s never the intent of a Tarot reading. The intent is to shake us out of a stuck place or turn up the volume on a spirit message loud enough that we can finally hear it. The more important it is for us to hear a message, the more blunt, loud and direct the spirit message will become. A good Tarot reader can reflect that sense of urgency without being mean about it.

Even when spirit is telling it like it is, a little Tarot diplomacy (and humor) can go a long way.

Thanks so much for reading! Please follow the blog to get all of the latest posts direct to your inbox. See you at the next sip!

For the record, I wrote the bulk of this post yesterday, so no (private client from this morning) this isn’t directed at you. We all need a little bit of brutal honesty from the cards every now and then.
