On Zoom for people everywhere

It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, who is poor.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE – 65 CE)

Money is no joke. Especially right now.

For nearly five and a half decades, judging by my meetings with thousands of clients all over the world, there is a glaring issue that many have in common. Nearly everyone has issues around money.

Maybe it’s student debt that frustrates too many dreams long into middle age. Or perhaps it’s the skyrocketing cost of living right now. Maybe it’s having to make hard choices as to which bills get paid this month and which can be juggled a little while longer without disaster.

Even for people who are lucky enough to have plenty to go around, it can be very difficult to enjoy any of it. Old wounds and even ancestral memories carry a lot of baggage that may leave them feeling deeply insecure and unable to find pleasure in their situation.

Add to that the fact that our culture heaps shame on all of it. It’s not nice to discuss money. There are the taboos about comparing notes about wages at work; the pretense among peers that we are just fine (when we are not); and the pervasive message that accepting charity is a disgrace. And all that guilt leads to pretense and hiding, which in turn results in isolation and loneliness.

You know what I’m talking about.

Now, as we approach the climax of the harvest season, we can align with this time of assessment and evaluation and take back our power. In this, the most prosperous time of year, let us attune to the magic of abundance. Not the New Age-y “just imagine it and it happens” kind. But based on old magics and practices that can heal and transform fears and discomfort around this extremely important matter.

Join us as we share our stories and learn to weave the enchantments that enable us —

To Know: Examine how we got into this quandary.
To Dare: Cultivate compassion for our personal history with money.
To Will:
Change our relationship with this potent magical tool using a number of tools and techniques.
To Keep Silent:
What to look for as transformation takes root, despite the coming fallow season ahead.

By the way, because of the personal nature of our shared discussions, this will not be recorded. And I am not planning to offer it again, so I hope you won’t miss out!

What’s the Tarot Boutique anyway? 

bou·tique (bo͞oˈtēk), noun
1. A small store selling fashionable clothes or accessories.
2. A business that serves a sophisticated or specialized clientele.
3. Unique, exclusive workshops for discerning magical and Tarot connoisseurs.

That’s you!

These are intimate, tailor-made workshops for people who want MORE in-depth exploration into magical subjects, SOMETIMES (but not always) including the Tarot.

I offer these classes as choice, specialty morsels that stand alone, or that can combine to add new sparkle and depth, helping your practice move beyond beginner.

Before you enroll in my online workshops, you might want to know:

  • IMPORTANT: Because my workshops are never just a straight lecture, and because I take everyone’s conversations and confidentiality very seriously, there is no recording. I realize this is not the usual you might be used to, so thanks for understanding.
  • Seating is limited.
  • If the class fills up, there will be a waiting list. You will be invited to fill any possible vacancies in the order you registered, so you might save the date, even if you don’t get in right away.
  • Life happens, and things do come up. I understand. So if you cancel your registration up to 5 days before the programs begin, I will refund your registration.

I am thrilled for YOU to be the first to know:

Sacred Space 2027

I have been invited to be a presenter at the 2027 Sacred Space Conference:

From Rote to Relationship:
Guardians, Guides, and Allies in Tarot Practice
with Beth Owl’s Daughter

Most approaches to understanding the Tarot begin with memorizing seventy-eight card meanings, plus then the countless ways those meanings shift and evolve as cards interact with one another.

Rather than teaching additional card meanings, my workshop explores a different way of learning and interacting with the Tarot.

Together we’ll explore a relational approach, meeting the cards as magical guardians, guides, and allies rather than as information to be memorized.

Using your Birth Cards as an entry point, and then moving beyond, we’ll honor traditional meanings but explore the deeper insights emerging from a lived relationship with these companions.

Many experienced readers will recognize this as reflecting how the Tarot actually does unfold in practice, but now there is a language for understanding and deepening that experience.

The specifics for the time and date of my workshop will be announced soon.

But I just couldn’t wait to let you know. And to encourage you to save that weekend and come if you can!

Speaking Engagements

Over the years, I have given countless presentations to groups both large and small, both public and private, and for all ages, from high school and university classrooms to retirement homes. My topics have included the Tarot, of course, but I also love inspiring people to expand their understanding of intuitive, spiritual, and magical practices.

I would be delighted to talk to your group, or teach for your facility or program. Just ask!Personal Photo of Beth giving a lecture for the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship audience
