Happy Birthday Arcana Craft!
Cheers to a year of creative magic in the books.
A year goes by in the blink of an eye for this middle-aged momma, but walking through the seasons with you has helped me to live out my values in a more concrete and intentional manner. In an age tinged with cynicism, I truly believe that our creative and magical practices (like Tarot!) have so much to offer us in terms of support, empowerment, and divine guidance. Our shared investment in Arcana Craft has only strengthened that belief for me. I’ve been so touched every time that you pulled me aside, emailed, or commented to tell me that you discovered something helpful here, too.
To celebrate the anniversary of our inaugural post, (on the Hermit! The card that won’t leave any of us alone this year!) I am offering subscribers an intuitively selected oracle or tarot card, sent via snail mail with a channeled message from me.
To receive your personal message, please email me at:
melissa@arcanacraft.com
Please use the subject line: Birthday Card, and include your name and mailing address in the body of the email. If you would like me to have a specific question or theme (love, career, family, etc.) in mind when pulling your card, you can include that, too. I will be sending responses from now until the end of September. This offer is good for both new and returning subs, because I love all y’all.
Looking ahead.
I wasn’t sure how this newsletter would shape up when it started 12 months ago, but we’re in it now! Let’s go! I’ll continue to share my deep dives on Tarot archetypes corresponding with current astrological seasons. You can look for my post on the MAGICIAN coming up in a couple of weeks, just in time to ground us within all of the buckle-up, back-to-school energy that often drives our momentum into autumn.
In the Magician-like spirit of magical making, I am deepening my commitment to revisions on the historical fantasy novel I’ve been writing, which means scaling back on Arcana Craft Artist Interviews. They won’t disappear completely; I have loved connecting you with the inspiring, creative people in my life. But allowing them to appear in ‘special,’ rather than regular installments, means the interviews will be more deeply aligned with cosmic and divine timing—for me…and probably for you, too. ;)
Guest Appearance on Susie and Sparkle Show
Speaking of interviews, this Thursday 8/28 at 7pm I’ll be talking Tarot with gubernatorial candidate, Sparkle Williams, a power house of creative magic and compassion for the collective. I’ve been so inspired by her decision to run for office as “Texas’s Favorite Transgender Politician” and honored by her invitation to connect with her and her co-host Susie Epstein, previous Arcana Craft interviewee, on their YouTube channel: Susie and Sparkle. You can find login information for the interview or check out the recording after the fact at Sparkle 4 Governor.
THANK YOU!
Once again, thank you for being a part of Arcana Craft’s readership. You are much appreciated. In magic, friendship…and bananas I guess, since this is the only recent photo of me I could find…,
Melissa O. Meeks
Beautiful post. LOVE that joyful pic of you, Melissa! And can't wait to talk to you tomorrow night on the Susie and Sparkle show!
