“Goddess to the Next Level…”

Next month, March, 2015, I have the honor and pleasure of leading my very first Intermediate Level Goddess Course, “Goddess to the Next Level.”

I must confess, this is not the first time I have wanted to lead this Course.  I put the feelers out there last year, in 2014, and in 2013, as well.  Alas, there were no takers; in other words, there were no registered participants.

Earlier tonight, while tending to my Altars, I had a chat with the Triple Goddess, and I told Her/Them that if no one participates in this Course, then I shall take it as a clear, evident, and irrevocable Sign that She/They do not want me to lead this Course.

To say that I want to officially and finally lead this Course is an understatement.  However, as I told the Triple Goddess, it is not my will, but Her/Their Will that shall be done.

First, the Course, “Goddess to the Next Level,” shall take place one Monday evening per month, beginning on Monday, March 23, 2015, 6-8PM.  One need NOT have participated in my very first Goddess Course, “Goddess-Graced Guidance,” to participate in “Goddess to the Next Level.”

Also, men are encouraged to participate, as the Goddess Is not solely for women.  Men of all kinds receive Blessings from honoring, learning about, and venerating Her.

The Deck that shall be used for this Course is the Universal Goddess Tarot, by Maria Caratti, illustrated by Antonella Platano (Copyright 2006, Lo Scarabeo, Torino, Italy).

Now, a few things: first, I was Divinely Guided, several years ago, in fact, to use this Deck for my very first Intermediate/Advanced Goddess Course.  Second, although a Tarot Deck shall be used, I shall not be teaching the Tarot in this Course.

Those of you who own Divination/Oracle Card Decks know that very few, consist of 78 Cards, which is the traditional number of Cards in a Tarot Deck.  If I AM fortunate enough to have any of my former Tarot students participate in this Course, they shall be able to tell you that I AM not leading a Tarot Course.

The only thing that I shall teach about this Course in connection to the Tarot is why a certain Goddess Is appropriate on a certain Tarot Card.

For example, The High Priestess Card, appropriately depicts Auset, the Ancient Egyptian Goddess more commonly known as Isis.

Over the years, I have seen many Tarot Decks depicts this particular Tarot Card with Isian, or Auset-like Symbols and Attributes, from Full Moons to Lunar Horns.

Indeed, the Astrological Alignment with this Card is the Moon, which in Western Astrology is a Planet, and Auset/Isis Is a Full Moon Goddess.

During each Class, in addition to learning about all the Goddesses depicted on each Card, I shall also talk about the different ways to work with that particular Goddess.  In addition, I shall lead a Guided Meditation on a specific Goddess Aspect as part of the Class.

Since the first class is scheduled to begin exactly three days after the Vernal Equinox, which is the date when the Sun enters Aries,the Sign of New Beginnings, I shall lead a Guided Meditation to work with the Maiden Goddess, a great Goddess to call upon for all kinds of New Beginnings.

Second, although there are many different Goddess-themed Tarot and Divination/Oracle Card Decks in my possession, not all of them are in print, and some of them can be found on the Internet on sale for three times its original price.

The Universal Goddess Tarot, by Maria Caratti, illustrated by Antonella Platano, is a reasonably priced Tarot Deck, even the kit which comes with a purple velvet bag featuring the Triquetra (an Ancient Irish Celtic Goddess Symbol) is also reasonably priced.  In addition, Llewellyn Worldwide, located in Woodbury, Minnesota, has been Lo Scarabeo exclusive American and Canadian distributor for almost a decade.

So, you need not order directly from Torino, Italy, and worry about currency conversion rates.

The Course shall be held in Midtown Manhattan, and if one pre-registers for all seven Classes, the seventh Class is free.

So, you can pre-register for the first three (which is the minimum), at $26, per Class, or a grand total of $78.  Or, you can pre-register for all seven and only pay $156 (as opposed to $182, if one were to pre-register for the first three, then the second two, then the final two).

Since we shall be working with the Universal Goddess Tarot in the first class, it is important that one have the Deck in his or her possession before the Course begins.

I have been Divinely Guided to take a page from Jimmy Clark’s Spiritual Playbook, after having participated in his amazing “Moon Magick, Manifestation, and Journaling” workshop, and I shall purchase copies of the Deck so that participants can have them for purchase, in the event they cannot purchase them prior to the first class of the Course.

PLEASE NOTE: any place that sells Tarot and/or Divination Decks, such as Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Metaphysical stores, and the like may already have the Deck, and should be able to order it.

Of course, you can always visit

Not only is in print, but it is ready to ship!  How’s that?

For those of you who are ready to welcome to the Great and Glorious Goddess into your life, or receive Her Wisdom, Her Guidance, and Her Blessings, on a deeper level, and shall be in the NYC area to participate in this Course, I invite you to send the minimum pre-registration of $78 to my PayPal.com account.  The Email address is thetarotman@excite.com.

And, if you want more information, you can submit a comment, or send me an Email address with “Goddess to the Next Level” in the Subject line.

Before I close, I wish to acknowledge my newest blog followers, “Srinidhi,” and “John.”  Thank you, both, for honoring who I AM and what I do.  May you receive Divine Healing, Divine Inspiration, and Divine Prosperity from following “This Is Who I AM.”

And for those of you already following or reading “This Is Who I AM,” thank you for continuing to honor who I AM and what I do.  May the “Goddess and Goddesses” Bless you Abundantly with New Joy, New Riches, and New Success.

Good night.

Moon Magick, Manifestation, and Journaling…

I AM crystal clear that I love teaching.

I love leading Metaphysical Classes, and I enjoy teaching my clients and students about different and various Metaphysical Methods and Sacred Tools that they can use to empower their lives, and strengthen their Spiritual Energies.

However, every once in a while, I love being on “the other side of the lectern.”  As well as remembering how important it is for me to learn.

Tomorrow, Sunday, February 15, 2015, 2PM, I shall have the opportunity to do just that.

Last month, I met a truly cool man named Jimmy Clark.  I met him at a Vortex Group Healing Event (which, deserves its own blog post, but I digress), and when he mentioned this workshop, the first thing I said was, “I AM so there!”

And now, I have the honor and pleasure of participating in his “Moon Magick, Manifestation, and Journaling for Creative Abundance Healing Workshop.”

Here is a little bit about it, in Jimmy’s own words:

 

 

 

“The workshops always begin with creating sacred space/circle casting, where I integrate directional/elemental energies, and purify the space and its occupants.  We then do introductions, followed by intention setting with a journal.

The program then moves into Pranayama, a grounding technique used by Yogis and Spiritualists the world over, which syncs the body to the breath and creates internal sacred space for our workings.  During this portion, various materials and tools will be used to tune the ambiance of the group and the room.  These tools include various cleansing spurge sprays, crystals, and more.

The main body of the program is divided into two segments.  The first of which will be focused on discussing Lunar cycles, moon meanings, and traditions.

The second segment will include a lecture on journaling for manifestation and creative abundance, where tips, discussions, and advice on how to successfully cultivate a daily writing/awareness practice will be shared.  There will be segments of time allotted for each participant to practice these techniques during the workshop, while also applying Lunar influences that will be discussed.”

 

 

 

Jimmy Clark (or, in some circles, Pan) is an ongoing student of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Reiki, a double certified Yoga Instructor/Aerialist, and has deep-seated roots in Celtic Shamanism, Druidism/Wicca and Nature-based Ritual Magick.

He is also an Usui Reiki Master Teacher, and also has a background in music of more than fifteen years.

He played with the band Amber Blues, and is actively involved with a New Jersey-based group called Helping All Little Things (or, HALT, for short).

Feel free to contact him directly for more info on his Moon Magick Workshops, his various professional/Metaphysical/Mystical Services, or for more info about him by Emailing him at artistenhancement@gmail.com.

And yes, Jimmy Clark is leading this event again.

Thank you, one and all, for honoring who I AM and what I do.  Have a great night, and a wonderful weekend.

 

 

Getting Back to Blogging…

Good afternoon, everyone, and a Happy Tuesday and Day of Mars (Planet of Motivation, among other things) to all of you!

I think it is safe to say that the ennui that I had experienced has certainly faded.  Or, at least, begun to fade.

I feel more together, more ready, and more focused.

Of course, Mercury turns Direct in Aquarius tomorrow, Wednesday (Day of Mercury, not surprisingly), February 11, 2015, 9:57AM, Eastern Standard Time (thank you, Llewellyn’s 2015 Daily Planetary Guide).  And from there, I look forward to triumphing over the Post Mercury Retrograde Storm, but I digress.

For the most part, from the moment this Blog started going, I would listen closely to my Divine Guidance, and write a post based on that Intuitive Lead.

However, I recently read a WordPress Blog post written by a WordPress Blogger, primarily for WordPress Bloggers.  The writer recommended creating a schedule regarding when followers or readers can expect a blog post to be published.

Personally, I have no problem with that.

Nonetheless, between my Psychic Practice, a position of employment that I have come to realize is not as temporary as I thought it was, not to mention those insignificant things like sleeping and eating, I AM uncomfortable with the thought of stating, as an example, “I shall write and publish a new blog post every Sunday, between 12-3PM.”

Those of you that know me very well, know that lately, the abundant mindlessness and lack of honoring one’s word and keeping one’s promises that I have witnessed lately, both on and off Facebook, has certainly been such that the LAST thing I want to do is make a promise or a commitment I shall not keep.

Nonetheless, there are several posts coming up, just in the next few days.

Other than that, I shall keep you posted, and I do promise that I shall write and publish at least one post on this Blog at least once a week.

In the meantime, thank you, one and all, for honoring who I AM and what I do.

May we continue to live lives Divinely Abundant with Peace, Health, and Plenty.

 

 

Another Wonderful “Divine Prosperity Event!”

Last Friday, February 6, 2015, I led my first “Divine Prosperity Event” of 2015, “The Year of Taking it to the Next Level.”

It was truly an amazing and powerful experience for all of us in attendance.

In the past, I have occasionally stated that I do not want just “bodies” in my Events.  And now more than ever, I mean that!

Although there were only four participants, all four of them contributed to each other in beautiful and powerful ways.

There were two regulars, an old-timer, as this particular client has participated in many of my “Divine Prosperity Events” as well as other Events I have led on a regular basis for several years, and a first-timer.  It had been a while since someone had participated in one of my “Divine Prosperity Events” for the first time, and it was wonderful how she was contributing to everyone else in attendance.

It was also wonderful how with each passing minute, she was remembering her Power to Prosper, but I digress.

There are certainly more Metaphysical Classes coming up, so please remember to check https://thetarotman.wordpress.com/events-with-robert-alvarez-the-psychic-witch-2015/ periodically for any updates.  And there shall be another update coming up in less than two weeks.

In the meantime, I have begun to slowly but surely catch up on blog posts.

As some of you know, my Birthday is January 8, and I celebrate my Birthday all during the month of January, from the first day to the last.

Last month, was equally challenging and fulfilling.  It seemed as though every week I would have a great Happy Birthday day, followed by a crappy birthday day.  It was frustrating and perplexing, to say the least.

Nonetheless, I concluded my Birthday month with two back-to-back Sacred Solitude Days, and I do not mind telling you I cannot wait for my next two-day personal retreat this month.  In fact, I need to schedule it, ASAP.

In the meantime, let me take a few moments to express Goddess-Graced Gratitude to all of you who follow or read “This Is Who I AM.”  To those of you who have submitted comments, who have begun availing yourselves of my Psychic Services after reading this WordPress Blog, who have recommended me to your own clients, students, and friends, who have reblogged various blog posts, etc.

I wish all of you a beautiful day, and a wonderful week.

 

The First “Divine Prosperity Event” of 2015 is Tomorrow Night!

Yes, I AM excited!

Tomorrow, Friday, February 6, 2015, from 7-10PM, I shall lead my first “Divine Prosperity Event” of 2015, “The Year of Taking it to the Next Level.”

I AM looking forward to discussing some easy, yet powerful Metaphysical Methods and Sacred Tools for creating Divine and Permanent Prosperity.  In addition, I AM looking forward to leading two, maybe three Guided Meditations.

There is one first-time participant, possibly two, and I AM excited about that, as well.

And finally, I shall discuss the Chinese New Year of the Wooden Sheep, or Green Goat, if you will.  I AM looking forward to discussing that, especially before the official beginning of the Chinese New Year of 2015 on Thursday (in Magickal Traditions, Thursday is the Day of Jupiter, the Planet of Prosperity, Expansion, and Mysticism), February 19, 2015.

This also begins my second year of using Ripley-Grier Studios in Manhattan.  I have known about them for years, and have enjoyed using their facilities.  Every staff person with whom I have met or spoken has been professional, very friendly and very accommodating, too.

Before I close, I wish to acknowledge my two newest blog followers.  They are: “kayliz241″ and Stuart M. Perkins.  Thank you, both, for honoring who I AM and what I do.  May both of you receive Divine Healing, Divine Inspiration, and Divine Prosperity from following “This Is Who I AM.”

And for those of you who already follow this WordPress Blog, or who read it, from time to time, thank you for honoring who I AM and what I do, too.  May you continue to receive many Blessings, Gifts, and Miracles from the Divine.

 

 

 

Another Sacred Solitude Post…

From Friday, January 30, until yesterday, Saturday, January 31, 2015, I was engaged in two back-to-back days of Sacred Solitude.  It was a truly beautiful way to conclude my Birthday Month.

In all the years I had engaged in Sacred Solitude (also known as “Unplugged/off-the-Internet” Days), I had never engaged in two back-to-back Sacred Solitude Days.  But now, I cannot imagine doing otherwise.

Interestingly enough, it Re-Minded me of the last, full-time position of employment I had held; I worked as an office supervisor for a major recruiting agency.  It was a very busy office, and the phones constantly rang.

I often stayed after the office was closed for the day, catching up on paperwork, and various office tasks.  And because I was not answering the telephone, I got a lot done!

These last two days, I did some mundane tasks, such as organizing my bedroom clothing closet, as well as organizing and cleaning my living room, in addition to sorting the laundry for this week’s washing and drying.

However, I also engaged in Spiritually Uplifting Practices, such as Prayer and Meditation.  I also spent time organizing my journals, and reading Spiritually Uplifting “Words of Power.”

Not to mention preparing, at least mentally, for my upcoming “Divine Prosperity Event” this Friday, February 6, 2015, 7-10PM, and my upcoming Psychic Self-Defense Class, “No, Bitch, This (Thing) Is Mine, and You Can’t Have It!” on Monday, February 16, 2015, 6-9PM.

All in all, I feel refreshed, renewed and revitalized in a truly Spiritually Uplifting way.

Before I close, I wish to acknowledge my newest blog follower, Stuart M. Perkins.  Thank you for honoring who I AM and what I do.  May you receive a great deal of Divine Healing, Divine Inspiration and Divine Prosperity from following “This Is Who I AM.”

And for those of you who already follow or read “This Is Who I AM,” thank you for honoring who I AM and what I do, too.  May your path continue to be Divinely Abundant with Blessings, Gifts and Miracles.

 

Blessings of Sacred Solitude to come…

For years, I have engaged in Sacred Solitude days, which I also refer to as “unplugged/off-the-Internet” days.

A day when I keep my cell phone turned off, do not access the Internet, and have no contact with the outside world.

Those of you who have explored “This Is Who I AM” have found several blog posts I have written singing the praises of this very powerful, very beautiful, very Sacred Spiritual Practice.

However, in all the years that I have done this, I have never before engaged in two back-to-back Sacred Solitude Days.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been having a wonderful Birthday month, and I wanted to do something very beautiful for myself to conclude it.  And this is how I AM concluding my Birthday month.

So, if any one you reach out to me, via this WordPress Blog, via Email, via telephone, and you do not hear from me until Sunday, February 1, 2015, now you know why.

However, I look forward to creating and maintaining a new schedule/practice of blogging once I return.

For now, thank you, one and all, for honoring who I AM, what I do, what I write, and what I say.

I wish all of you who follow or read “This Is Who I AM” a lovely evening, a beautiful day, and a wonderful weekend, too.

Thank you.
