The 56 Minor Arcana Cards (which follow the Major Arcana) consist of Four Suits, which commonly include; Wands, Pentacles, Cups, and Swords (they may differ depending on the deck.) The Minor Arcana’s are the supportive roles, while the Major Arcana’s are the “Brad Pitt” of the reading. The Minor’s bring clarity through specific details of our concerns, emotions, and experiences, as well as precisely depict the individuals in our everyday lives.

The following is a condensed and an overall view of each of the Minor Arcana Suits:

Leadership, energy, inspiration, creativity, self-growth, determination, strength, intelligence, intuition, and optimism are all traits of this suit. They often deal with the spiritual level of consciousness. Wands often represent careers, abilities, potentials, and or business enterprises. If several Wands are revealed in the Querent’s reading, this means that work related matters are important to them (especially in the creative and organizational facets.)

Atlantis, be it a mythical place or an entire continent submerged under the sea, contains the secrets of a superior civilization. Said to be paradise on earth, Atlantis was on the center of an island, where there were magnificent temples, palaces, docks, and harbours (designed by great artisans and engineers.) Fruits, vegetables, fragrant flowers and herbs grew in abundance. Fountains (ahead of their times) ran with plentiful hot or cold water. Tamed and wild animals roamed its meadows and forests. The earth was rich in precious metals, such gold, silver, brass, tin, and ivory.

The people were highly intelligent and intuitive (like the Ancient Egyptians), had a gentle and loving disposition, and prized virtue above all. Atlanteans used powerful quartz crystals to store information and to pick up on energy vibrations. A common practice of healing was the laying out of stones.

Atlantis thrived in approximately 9,600 BC.  Suddenly, in “a day and a night” under the Atlantic Ocean, a great volcano erupted or a huge earthquake or tsunami occurred. The catastrophic geological event completely destroyed Atlantis and buried it beneath the sea.

So where is the lost city? One of the worlds most famous Psychics, Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945), predicted that it would be found in 1968 or 1969 near Bimini Island (connected to Bimini Road) off the coast of Florida, not far from the Bahamas. That area started to rise in 1968. Greek Philosopher, Plato, suggested that it is located by the Straits of Gibraltar and Spartel Island, or close to the Pillars of Hercules (in the Atlantic Ocean near the island of Azores). I believe that Atlantis is in North Bimini, (in the Bermuda Triangle.)

If Atlantis is discovered, we will know the answers of the many questions on the Atlanteans advanced intelligence, technology, and spirituality. Let’s hope our society will learn from them someday.

If objects could talk, what would they say? A person with psychometric abilities can sense the history of an item by touching it. The term psychometric was first discussed by Joseph Rhodes Buchanan (an American scientist) in 1842. It was formed from the Greek words psychic (soul) and metron (measure), which means soul-measuring or measurement of the human soul.

For the real Allison Dubois, psychometry is not a method, but a psychic gift. She receives clairvoyant visions from the vibrations of objects. Allison often assists police in finding missing persons and perpetrators of crimes, just from touching items from the scene. Sounds pretty easy doesn’t it? But Allison would be the first to tell you, it takes time and skill to know; whether her vision has occurred in the past, present or will in the future, and what it really means.

Psychometry impressions may come in the form of images, sounds, scents, emotions and tastes.  It is important for a Medium to be grounded when they receive information from an object, as they often feel what occurred (whether good or bad.) Either way, this ability can be very draining – to the point where it can lead to illness. “Draining” most often occurs when Mediums touch objects from a recently deceased person. When one dies, at first their spirit is frequently limbo. During which, they prefer to be around familiar people and objects from their time here. They try to deal with unfinished business or to understand what happened to them (especially if their death was sudden and unexpected) prior to their moving on to another plane of existence.

Other Mediums find psychometry to be more of a curse, even though they can use it to help others. Sounds selfish?..Well, think about it..Seeing dead people, horrific events, knowing someone’s sick thoughts..Not fun.

Synchronicity and Coincidence are often confused, although they are quite opposite in meaning. Coincidence is the alignment of events or circumstances with no obvious connection, and thus, merely chance. Synchronicity is the alignment of events or circumstances which are casually unrelated that coincide in a meaningful way. lol I don’t mean to sound like a dictionary here, but it’s important to distinguish the two.

We have all had times when we were thinking about someone, then happened to run in to them. Or the phone rang, just as we were about to call whomever was on the other line. Was that penny you found really lucky? These are often coincidences, as there is no real significance of these occurrences.

Synchronicities can happen due to; the power of your thoughts and ideas, and divine intervention (which can drastically change your circumstances for the better (a blessing or miracle), or serve as a reminder that you are on the right path.)For example; Identical twins are put up for adoption, then separated, then end up meeting one day at the same time, same place with car trouble, although they lived 600 miles apart.

Personally, I have experienced a true blessing in my life, in which I am eternally grateful for. When I was sixteen years (lol I know that was at least a couple of centuries ago), I was waiting at the bus stop after closing late at work.  Oddly, two men in a white van were circling back and forth around the corner.  I prayed that the bus would show up soon, miraculously it came 25 minutes prior to its scheduled time. Chillingly, about 6 months later, 2 men were arrested for the brutal murder of 2 women.  In the local paper, the 2 men admitted that they had planned to rape and kill a girl in the city, but unexpectedly, her bus showed up.  It was the exact same men, vehicle, date, time, and bus stop I was at, and I fit the description.

Look out for your Synchronicities in life. Despite how apparent they may be, there powerful impact can influence the rest of your life.
