The more time you spend with Tarot, the more you begin to notice patterns.
A symbol appears in one card... then another... then another.

Suddenly you realize the deck has been quietly telling a much bigger story all along.

The pillars are one of those recurring symbols. While there are many ways to interpret them, I've always been drawn to the idea that they represent thresholds — places where we're invited to leave behind one way of seeing and step into another. It's one of the many symbolic threads that inspired my new book, The Secret Tales of the Tarot, where I explore the myths and hidden stories woven throughout the deck.

We may be more vulnerable to people like this if we didn’t grow up with models of healthy relationships. Healthy, intimate relationships should involve some give-and-take and plenty of empathy on both sides. Loving relationships involve work to ensure everyone’s needs are met, not just one at the cost of the other.

While conflict is a normal and healthy aspect of a relationship, conflicts ideally resolve around a negotiation of everyone’s needs and desires.

We often think of The Lovers as the Tarot's happiest card, a symbol of romance, soulmates, or happily ever after. But the imagery tells a more complicated story.

In the Rider–Waite–Smith deck, The Lovers depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Their story isn't simply about love. It's about choice, desire, knowledge, consequence, and the ways our relationships can change the course of our lives.

That's one of the things I love most about the Tarot. The cards invite us to look beyond familiar interpretations and discover the myths, histories, and symbols that give them their depth.

Stories have always been how I make sense of the world. Whether I'm writing about mythology, the Tarot, the moon, healing after trauma, or the divine feminine, I'm always asking the same question: What can these stories teach us about being human?

Each of my books explores that question from a different perspective. Some invite you into ancient myths, others into the symbolic language of the Tarot or the rhythms of the moon. Together, they're an invitation to slow down, reflect, and discover new ways of understanding yourself through story.

If you've read one of my books, thank you for being part of the journey. And if you're just discovering my work, I hope one of these stories finds its way into your hands.

Which one have you read, or which one are you most excited to explore?
