This is how the fairy tale begins…  You are the golden child, innocent, hopeful, full of promise.  Tabula rasa, a blank slate.  Anything can happen.

You live on the edge of a great wood, a forest beautiful and terrifying.  You live in a warm, inviting cottage.  In a poor but tidy little hut.  In a fine and well-appointed house.  In a castle.  In a dirty, ramshackle hovel.  In a high tower.

With warm, nurturing, and protective parents, or a family struck by despair and dysfunction. With a gentle and forgetful grandmother. With your father, a benevolent but distant king, and his wife, a wicked witch.  With the vain and hostile wife of your loving but absent father, a traveling merchant.  With a terrible witch who stole you from your family. With a kind witch who has  rescued you from your suffering.

One thread runs through all the tales: You are admonished not to go into the forest alone.  There is a set boundary, a garden, a lane, a wall—a line that you must, for your own safety, never cross.  For the wood, while full of calling birds and bright butterflies, can also be a place of fear and danger, where a child could be lost or eaten by wolves.  Both the beauties and the dangers are very real.

And the wood is exactly the place that your adventure must take you, for the forest is the landscape of your own adult life.  Perhaps, like Red Riding Hood, you made your first steps into this wood on your own with the firm and gentle guidance of a loving parent who gently set you on the most known pathway.  Perhaps, like Hansel and Gretel or Vasilissa the Brave, you were set into the wood without supplies or direction, pushed out of childhood innocence before you were ready.   Maybe, like Goldilocks, you followed a trail of bright flowers or a shining ray of sunlight into the wood, and your own curiosity drew you into the trees.

Using the imagery of the tarot for signposts, along my own intuition, I will help you to look at the pathways of your own journey through the forest of your life, whether you feel like you’re on a bright trail or caught in a bog. I will help you harness your own intuition, to gain a wider perspective, to seek your guides, to look for crumbs and shiny stones that might show you which direction leads you to your true center.

In a consultation with Beth of Brightwing Tarot, you will be reminded of synchronicities in your life, those magical coincidences that the Universe seems to create just to wake you up. We will look for messages from animal totems, spirit companions, angels, ancestors, and Goddess or God. We will keep open to dreams and omens and messages and what your own body tells you about who you are.

The goal of a consultation is not to know what the future holds, but to place yourownself at the center of your story, following your destiny rather than being a victim of fate. To make empowered decisions. To align yourself with your true purpose. To tap into your knowledge of your Deep Self. To wake up into your story and to engage with it.

The cards and Beth will not tell you what to do or who to be. We can only point the way, offer comfort and guidance, images to grasp like lanterns in the darkness.

Beth says, “This is heart work, soul work, spirit work. I hope that as you work with me you will feel yourself more fully empowered to guard your heart, to free it, to celebrate and more richly experience your inner life.”

Tarot work is spirit play. Tarot consultations are not an alternative to therapy or medical intervention in mental health issues. This is not meant to replace the work that you may do with a certified professional.

The cost for a 45-50-minute consultation is priced on a sliding scale of $55 – $45.  Call 717-290-1517 to schedule an appointment, or stop in the shop at Radiance, 13 W Grant St, in the heart of downtown Lancaster. You must be vaccinated for Covid in order to schedule an appointment.
