Long Overdue Update!

10/7/2024

Twenty months have gone by in just a snap of the fingers! But when I think back, it was not that snappy.

It has been quite the journey with many twists and turns, but David and I (and Dante) have finally settled into our new home in Portugal, where we can now relax and exhale into a new way of life.

I'm grateful to be living where my family and ancestors hail, speaking my mother tongue, and absorbing the sunshine in new ways that the Pacific NW was not capable of giving. But, I have to be honest...
​

I still miss my family, friends, and Portland too!

​
The emotional lessons of letting go and starting anew have been challenging to say the very least for my Capricorn Moon Soul.

However, my Sagittarius Heart is open and excited for all the traveling, new experiences, and connections, new and old, that we are making here.

I am getting back to a regular routine and learning what the next chapter of Divine Muses will look like.

Over the past year, I read your emails and am so sorry for not getting back to them all. I hear you and see that there is interest in a reprint of some kind for my decks. Thank you for voicing your support!

While it was gratifying to be able to ship my decks and books directly to you, I may have to do things differently from Portugal.

I have done the print-on-demand, crowd-funding, and pre-order routes. I also worked with a mass-publisher in France. All have their pros and cons. 

I am putting together a survey to ask my newsletter subscribers for their input about deck reprints. If you are subscribed, please look for my email to share your thoughts.

Thank you for supporting me as I continue to channel Divine Muses!

I would like to purchase your Lua Tarot, if possible. How exciting to have made that huge move/leap to Portugal! I thank you for the Reading we had it was so on point, just amazing to say the least. Question: Do you have an astrology course you teach? I am interested in that as well. Thank you again...blessed be.

Hi Rosemary, It was such a pleasure to connect with you! I'm so sorry I don't have any Lua Tarot decks left. I'm still figuring out my deck reprints. I'm processing the results of the survey that I sent out about what decks to focus on first and how I should go about releasing them. It's been a slow process from here, so I'm sorry I don't have more details yet, but I hope to get a solid idea after the holidays.

I do not offer any astrology courses, but I can try to recommend something for you. I know you have some foundational knowledge.

For me, it took a few years to learn the layers and bring it into my tarot readings. I have taken a few courses, read books, and looked at lots of charts. It's really about looking at charts and using your intuition to sense the connections and see what comes to the surface. What's the priority information? I love using astrology with tarot to affirm and confirm what comes up.

If you're not familiar, please check out the Faculty of Astrological Studies in the UK, they have online courses and some of the best astrology teachers and writers are from there. Julia Parker, the author of Parker's Astrology, is a patron. Parker's Astrology was one of my early astrology books and is an excellent introductory textbook. It gives all the basics plus has information to grow. The back pages has aspect and transit information that I still reference.

I hope that helps. Wishing you and yours happy holidays!

Thank you for your kind support. Blessed be, Maree
