I always love busting out my Fairy cards and today was no exception! Here is your weekly card reading for the week ahead, using the Magical Messages from the Fairies oracle deck (by Doreen Virtue). Enjoy!
Veronica is my nefarious Tarot reading twin. At night she slinks through the streets under the cover of darkness, hunting for young, unsuspecting man-meat. By daylight she naps, writes filth and eats bon bons. But on Fridays, she reads Tarot – for you, right here…

Diversity is the new buzz word on everybody’s lips these days.
As in “financial planners recommend investment diversification for economic growth” or “the new multiplex will foster community, diversity and culture”
Yeah, whatever.
Like engagement, self esteem, transparency and wellness before it, diversity won’t be a hot little number forever. So let’s dissect it while we can.
You can always identify what a society lacks by the words it overuses. People are the same.
Have you ever met someone who blabbered on and on about how open and transparent they were? “I’m basically an open book. What you see is what you get,” blah blah blah.
And then you find out they have a secret, sordid life of money laundering, cocaine parties and eating at McDonald’s.
So our mainstream society doesn’t give a shit about diversity, even though it never stops talking about it.
And I get it. It’s way more fun to talk about something than to actually practice it.
Just ask all those people who list yoga as a hobby but haven’t actually been to a class since 2009.
So tell me….what do you like to talk non-stop about but don’t actually do?
Veronica is my Tarot reading twin. She’s just like me except she’s bad, slutty and has way more fun! When she’s in between spa appointments and sex cruises, she’s kind enough to devote her spare time to writing these Friday readings. Enjoy!….

There are two main things we humans do: consume and create.
Both are valid. Both are important. But if you do only one then you’re up shit creek without a paddle.
I, Veronica, love to consume! I voraciously munch cinnamon buns with my London fog every Sunday afternoon. I love watching artsy fartsy euro porn, listening to grisly true crime podcasts and reading celebrity gossip mags!
But consumption becomes destruction if it isn’t balanced out with creativity. Your soul withers and your mind becomes numb.
So this weekend, make sure you enjoy the things you consume, but then let them inspire you to create!
Bake some cookies, draw pictures of your cat, build a tree fort or slather your naked body in paint and roll around on a canvas in your backyard.
You get the idea. The sky’s the limit!
So tell me….what 3 things do you love to consume and what 3 things will you create this week?
I’ve compiled the 3 most popular quizzes on my site (okay, they’re the only 3) for you to dive into. So grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine, cozy up in your favorite armchair and let’s get down to it…
If you've ever suspected you might be a smidge more psychic (or intuitive) than your average Joe Schmoe, you will WANT to take this quiz!!!! Why? Because it's juicy, fun and will inspire you to be even more intuitive than you think you are...
Okay, so this one's not actually about Tarot at all....and even worse, it was penned by my horrid twin Veronica (whose totally slutty and mean and has no ambition!).
This quiz exists for two reasons only: to give you a laugh and make you feel better (or worse) about yourself. What have you got to loose?
Veronica is my evil Tarot reading twin. Whip wielding anarchist by day, mischevious Tarot queen by night, Veronica is the author of her very own ebook! Let’s see what terrible advice she has for you….
Linestrider Tarot by Siolo Thompson
You are what you eat.
At least that’s what an obnoxious duty teacher once told me when I was ten.
But guess what?
Whatever you last ate….is the secret key to your true personality!
Did you eat….
A cupcake? – this means you like to destroy beautiful things with your mouth.
Casserole? – you enjoy chaos and mayhem
A wrap? – your a lazy f*ck
A salad? – you think you’re better than everyone. Or, you like salads.
An apple – you give in to temptation way too easily!
Popcorn – you like to keep busy, busy, busy.
A salmon burger – you’re sophisticated but you like to slum it every now and then
I could go on and on…but I’ll stop there.
If you’re food wasn’t listed here, tell me in the comments below and I’ll tell you what it says about you…
Everyone has a dark side. Everything has a dark side.
And Tarot cards are no exception!
Each and every Tarot card has both a light and dark aspect and today I want to focus on the BAD side of those sunny, bright, cheery Tarot cards.
This is a helpful exercise to do when you get a positive card in a negative position in a Tarot spread. Like when you ask “what do I need to let go of?” and you get The Sun or the Ace of Cups.
So let’s get crackin’!

This is the quintessential “positive” Tarot card and it’s hard to find anything negative about it.
But let me try…
Do you remember back in the mid-2000’s when The Secret came out and everyone was going on and on about positive thinking? To the point where it got really annoying?
Have you ever felt pressured to be more positive?
Or to be extra-super-duper positive even when things were unacceptably horrible?
Like working for a company that treats its staff inhumanely but then demands that you show “team spirit” and enthusiasm and smile all the time. That shit is soul destroying.
Two people, clinking glasses and putting their heads together in a glow of mutual appreciation.
What could go wrong? Plenty!
Meeting a like minded individual who shares your values and vision can be intoxicating. But once the thrill fades and you realize that you must also compromise – what used to be a strong connection might start to feel like a prison sentence.
Sure you might agree on eating vegan, going to yoga retreats and watching George Carlin stand up routines, but then you discover they can’t load a fucking dishwasher properly and love to eat Twizzlers and go to baseball games…god what were you thinking?
Now it’s your turn!
I’ve picked a really uplifting and happy card for you to tear into…theThree of Cups!
I wish there was a secret formula for figuring out the “dark side” of a cheery card, but there isn’t. So you just have to contemplate it and get creative…
