Sage Sips is tarot meditation in the time it takes to sip your coffee.
Welcome to my childhood: eyeballs deep white Christian nationalism everywhere you turn.
I wish I had words of wisdom for this.
The best I can offer is that we are surrounded. As in 2016, we are again faced with the terrifying and heartbreaking reality of just how many racists, fascists and bigots actually exist in America in 2024: one precise metric fuckton.
As with the 8 of swords, the situation is dire, but we have to find the way forward. It IS there. We just have to find it the hard way with persistence, courage, and out-of-the-box thinking. It’s a giant problem that will require an equally giant amount of problem solving, creative and otherwise.
Evangelicals hate Tarot readers (and honestly, speaking for myself, the feeling is pretty mutual). WHATEVER your identity may be, unless you are a wealthy, white & christian, you are on the outs with the people in power. It feels like we are the minority but if you define “them” that way, then ALL of the rest, ALL other identities besides that particular combination, becomes “us” That feels like an “us” large enough to maybe, just maybe, mutual aid our way through this catastrophe.
Like Obi Wan, we may have to hide in a desert cave for a bit. I feel compelled to redecorate around here again, bringing the nice, whitewashed, safe sounding “Sage Sips” and coffee theme to the forefront. The word Tarot may have to go hide in a cave for a while, but TaoCraft is still in here, same as always. Same stuff, different paint job. Again. Dammit.
This is exactly the lesson of the 10 of swords. Stay put. Plan. Heal. Stay frosty. Prepare. Become stronger. Become willing and able to get up again. And again. And again if needs be.
“You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.”
Paulo Coelho
When you listen to spirit or read the universal life energy or whatever words you like to hang on this psychic intuition thing, sometimes you have to take it at its word. Even when that word is nope.
Listening to spirit/energy is the same basic process regardless of whether you are reading for one specific person or for a general, collective audience. Either way, you are basically just translating spirit-speak into people-words that your client can actually ponder and use.
When you are reading for an individual, and something feels off the mark, you can just say that. When you are working with just one person, you can start a conversation that will eventually sort out the right message. Even working by email where the conversation unfolds over time, you can suss things out sooner or later.
Working with a collective audience is a little trickier. When you get the sense that something is wrong that figure-things-out conversation isn’t available to you. Sometimes it’s a wonder if anyone leaves a comment or feedback when you ASK for it.
When you are writing for a wide audience, it takes greater faith in your own instincts than when reading for a single person. No matter what you say, no matter what message you get/give, in a large audience there will always be a subset of people who need the opposite. There will always be some people where your message is batted away with a big old NOPE. No matter what message you give there will be someone who needs to hear the opposite.
And that’s ok.
Psychics and Tarot bloggers can’t be all things to everyone. The only thing we can be is true to our own intuition.
My Tarot Valentine is a good example. Relationship advice through a card by card reading of the Wands suit isn’t a bad idea. No doubt somebody somewhere is interested in that kind of relationship advice.
Luckily, if you need love and soulmate advice, there are LOTS of Tarot readers in the world and somebody is out there giving just the message you need to hear. I have 1000% confidence that the right message will find you.
I am also confident that this isn’t my year to give it.
A larger part of the collective spirit / energy is connecting me to a different message. There are people out there who need other things just now.
I need to bail out of the Valentine’s Day thing at the collective level.
I feel pulled toward the one to one private side.
I’ve written a new love and romance layout inspired by the poetry collection Triquetra: The Dance of Worlds
card 1 – “inner world” – what self love do you need right now?
card 2 – “outer world” – what is your relationship with life as a whole right now?
card 3 – “dance of worlds” – how can you nurture a close relationship?
This new love and romance layout is available to order any time, no appointment needed, if you feel drawn to the love and romance side of February. The “My Tarot Valentine” layout is available at a special reduced price for a limited time. If you are feeling the valentine vibe, let’s look at this one to one.
If you are no feeling the Valentine vibe, hang tight with the blog and we’ll read the cards for other stuff.
Stay tuned for a new “Learn With Me” series coming soon. Until then we will be doing more “meet your reader” “you choose” style posts.
See you at the next sip!
Open for the holidays – announcing January hours
The elves are busy, but not panicked. The squirrels are taking it easy – kicking back munching nuts and drinking spiked eggnog, apparently. I’m going to take the opportunity to spend some quality time with the fam, the kitchen, the knitting needles and an actual library book.
I can slide an email Tarot reading into that scenario pretty easily. Email readings are my happy place, my specialty, my niche and my strong suit in the world of Tarot. Come in to that coziness and read a reading. No appointment needed for this kind of Tarot – order anytime HERE.
I’m @sagewordstarot on Threads, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and TikTok. Threads and Instagram are my favorites, so if you want to say hi that’s the best social media place to find me and have actual conversation. The socials might be sporadically quiet, but stay tuned here on the main blog. I have some new posts planned for the blurry-time between now and New Year.
Next up, however, is a Learn With Me: Lenormand tomorrow. See you then!

In person will resume in January and be available by appointment on Mondays. Live online/phone readings return in January by appointment.
