You really CAN learn to do this! Your hands are healers! You don’t need to know a thing about massage — all you need is the heart and compassion to soothe, heal, and provide comfort. Is there someone in you life who needs this? You can learn to provide it!
To celebrate Brigid’s strength and creativity, here is a tarot spread, in the shape of the traditional Brigid’s Cross, which is a symbol often handmade with straw as part of honoring her at Imbolc. The cross is often hung inside the home or on the front door as a symbol of protection. So, we will make our Bridgid’s Cross not out of straw, but out of tarot cards.
Oh COME ON! This entire sad, tired, overdone stock plot is just one big allegory for the big, virile, rock-hard-faster-than-a-sneeze strong man finally bringing the frail, frigid woman to orgasm. TaDAHH!
I wish I had a thousand vibrators to hurl at every writer who keep reheating this plot and calling it cuisine. Think of something new, for fuck’s sake. Like — repressed witchy woman decides brooding, obsessive man is more annoying than a yeast infection in July, transforms into a dragon, and chomps his head off.

This is the magic of oracle and tarot cards, and how I use them. Sure, the cards often suggest likely outcomes, fresh perspectives, and clarity for one’s situation.
