I want to make sure everyone knows about something that is happening inside the Premium membership right now — because some of you may not have heard about it yet. We are six decans into the Golden Dawn Decan Walk and it has been one of my favorite things we are doing together this year. Here is what it is. The Golden Dawn Decan Walk is a yearlong journey through all 36 decans of the astrological wheel. Each decan is a 10-day window, and each one carries a minor arcana card, a planetary ruler, and a specific energy that the Golden Dawn system has mapped to that slice of the year. We started at the Spring Equinox on March 21st with the Two of Wands and we have been walking it together ever since. Our guide through this walk is Susan Chang's book 36 Secrets — a deep and beautiful study of every decan and its corresponding tarot card. If you want to grab a copy and follow along you absolutely can. And if you don't have it yet you can still be here. The conversation we build together is part of the learning. This is not a course. There are no wrong answers. You can join at any point and it will meet you where you are. Right now we are in: Decan 6 · Seven of Pentacles · Saturn in Taurus · May 11–20 The final decan of Taurus. A card of patience, tending, and trusting the long game. It is a quiet and honest card and it is exactly where we are in the season. Each decan gets a full post and a 10-day reflection prompt series — all inside the Premium membership classroom. If you have been curious about upgrading — this is one of the reasons. 30 decans still to go. 👉 https://www.skool.com/the-sanctuary-with-carey-kaas/about Warmly, Carey 🌿

@Sharay Prevost just did a channeling session for me and it hit me how special it is that we have this community. We were talking about how it's helpful even to just have a safe space like this. In practicing with each other, we appreciate how vulnerable we all are in offering our takes/gifts/card pulls, and it's so affirming to come in with no expectations other than to celebrate each other's wins. Sharay channeled really helpful insight for my situation that I came with, pointing to a definitive moment where my relationship had broken. I also learned so much from seeing how she channels and received insights from our spirit teams. I was feeling like in return I should try tapping in too, and that was the first time I've done anything like that for someone else. Thank you so much, Sharay. It was so nice chatting and branching off together today! ✨

As part of continuing development, I would love to exchange readings. Please let me know if you are interested. I can also be reached at Authenticalchemy.com. Hope you have a great week! -Trish

I decided to give this a try and pull one tarot card from the Waite Smith deck and one from Enchanted Map (Colette BaronReid). I started shuffling and I asked what do I need to know today? I have been wondering about my job choices, whether to keep what I’m doing now (it’s not working), whether I will know if an opportunity is the right for me (change careers, focus, etc). So I guess all these things were in the back of my mind). While shuffling a group of 8 cards fell at once as a pack from the middle of the deck: The Hierophant, High Priestess, 6 of cups reversed, 7 of cups reversed, 8 of swords, queen of pentacles reversed, the lovers, and the 10 of pentacles. I have to say I am a novice at reading cards, and I have an idea of the meaning but I would love if anyone has a different take. I saw this as related to my job conundrum. Being a Capricorn makes this a very pivotal issue in my life. Here goes: I think the Hierophant represents my past careers choices, traditional, social approval, conformity but things need to change (energy of the unexpected). Wisdom, forgiveness, trust are what I should apply to my current self. The high priestess is about intuition, the subconscious, trusting yourself and beginning of new projects which I take as a very positive card, trusting myself and my intuition to know what’s the right path.. 6 of cups reversed tells me to stop living in the past, forgive myself and add some lightness to my life, don’t take everything so seriously, while the 7 of cups reversed tells me to align with my values, too many choices means lack of purpose and confusion. The 8 of swords tells me the anxiety is of my own making, only seeing obstacles and instead look around and find my path.the queen of pentacles reversed says I’m too worried about financial independence, work-home balance, and being obsessive about this whole issue. The lovers ask to have balance, home and responsibility and my values will be aligned with the choice I make. And finally, the 10 of cups says ultimate completion (financial security, family, contribution to community, wealth) is the result of true will, realization and endings.

Grab your coffee, pull a card, and come hang out. Tomorrow at 9 am PDT, we're gathering for Oracle & Coffee Chat — one of my favorite things we do in here. ( Meeting right here in SKOOL ) Here's what it actually is: we show up, we pull cards, we talk about what's coming through. It's relaxed. It's real. There's no pressure to have the "right" read or say something profound. You just show up as you are. If you're new to the community and haven't introduced yourself yet, this is honestly the best place to start. It's low-key, it's welcoming, and you'll leave feeling more connected than when you arrived. If you've been wanting to practice your intuition in a safe space, this is that space. See you tomorrow at 9 am. Bring your deck, bring your drink, bring yourself. xo, Carey
