closing my practice after 5 years
Hi all, Hope this missive finds you well. After five amazing years of service, I am- mostly- closing down my Brownstargirl Tarot practice for now. My last day will be June 13, 2017. It’s been a hell of a ride. When I started Brownstargirl Tarot in 2012, I had been reading tarot, for myself and…
the courage to heal: even thinking we can access “healing” is a big courageous act as oppressed people sometimes.
I was thinking the other day how fucking brave it is to try and heal. Period. And how brave it is to try all this “weird” “woo-woo” stuff (tarot, divination, acupuncture, stretching, body love, herbs). Even and especially because all that stuff is stuff that comes from many of our traditional communities. An old friend…

still here
this is just a brief note to say: I’m in awe of all my clients and their bravery, their standing at the crossroads, their magical lust for life, their survival. I’m all set up in my office on a magic wooded street cupped by streams, in Rainier Valley/ Mt Baker, South Seattle, unceded Duwamish territories….
Brownstargirl Tarot is back and in unceded Duwamish territories
(photo: mine, graffiti stencil found in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn summer 2015.) Well, when I was writing this last weekend, I was actually at one of my favorite places in the world- Fancyland, the rural Northern California queer land community where I finished my memoir, Dirty River, in 2012-2013. Two years later, I was at Fancyland on…
Brownstargirl Tarot is Back and Living in Brooklyn!

This spring took me on a 5.5 week book tour launching my new book Bodymap, from Three Fires Confederacy Territories to many points across North America. I can’t…

Divination as Psychic Homeopathy
I’ve gotten more open about being a healer- I can even say it to people without coughing. It’s when they ask me, “What kind of healing?” that I still stammer a bit. I can joke with friends about being Deanna Troi identified, or being “psychic tarot card reader identified”, but it’s still a profession with a…
