"Magic is not just something that happens against all odds. Magic is the only thing that happens." ~ Martin Prechtel This quote by Martin Prechtel really sums up Crow's life philosophy. Whether he is reclining in a chair, napping on the laptop, or snuggling the ears of those he loves, Crow exudes magic in everything he does. Cats seem to have an absolute certainty of their own majesty. May the magic of our feline friends rub off on us, and remind us that we are pure magic eve...ry day! #theravenswing #magichappenseveryday #shoplocal

Jenny in Portland gives us our Community Reading for the Week (starting today, June 27th) using The Dame Darcy's Mermaid Tarot. Thinking: Ace of Pentacles We're thinking about taking on a new endeavor, something that will shore up our financial base and offer more possibilities for living well. It's a great idea and worth doing, just remember that ideas take time and hard work to develop and we can't skip those steps if we want this plan to work long term.... Feeling: Queen of Cups Wisdom blossoms from experience, so congratulations! After all we've been through, we understand ourselves so much more keenly. Our relationships and communities need tending, and so do we. We can be the loving, nurturing souls that we desire to be, as long as we include ourselves in that love. Doing: 2 of Swords We always have the ability to choose, even if it doesn't seem like any of the options are great. Free will, though, is ours to keep and exercise, and sometimes choosing how we navigate bad options is more potent than picking the easier path. That said, circumstances change and one decision doesn't serve us forever. We have the opportunity to decide how we move forward from moment to moment. Note from the Universe: 6 of Cups Learning from the past is so powerful, as long as we don't idealize what we remember. It's easy to fill in the gaps with the best or worst that we can imagine. We can't truly recapture what is gone, but it can and should guide us forward.

With the announcement from the National Weather Service that the temperature highs could reach into the mid-100s, or even hotter in Portland this weekend, we have decided to close our store on both Saturday and Sunday to help keep our staff safe. We encourage everyone that is affected by this record heat wave to stay indoors, and do what you can to keep cool and hydrated. Close your blinds to block out sunlight and help keep the heat out of your homes. Use fans if you have th...em to circulate air. Please stay safe, we will see you when we can. #theravenswing #magichappenseveryday

Deliah, one of our staff members and readers in our Portland location, brings us our Reading for the Week starting on Sunday, Jan. 24th and for the week to come using the Stella’s Tarot deck. --- Card of the week: Three of Cups The theme for our last week of January is celebration and community! There is a sense of joy and victory in the air, and we are ready to pop out the bubbly! But we are not completely out of the woods yet so just remember to do your celebrating at a saf...e distance. Specific tasks for the week: Five of Wands Our collective task this week is to try not allow ourselves to become so dissatisfied with our environment and situations. Life has been hell for all of us, so it’s understandable that we are in the defensive mode. But it’s important to let down the fight a bit so that we don’t burn ourselves out. Save up your energy this week for the bigger fight ahead, and just try and enjoy the present moment. Unique chances during the week: The Hermit We may be presented with an opportunity to learn new skills or to further develop ones that hold personal interest. This knowledge will likely come from literature and spiritual endeavors, so this week is the perfect time to plan for some quiet reading time! --- To learn more about Deliah, or to book your own reading with her, follow this link: https://theravenswing.com/deliah #theravenswing #magichappenseveryday #shoplocal #tarot #tarotreadersofinstagram

For our Stone of the Week, we bring you Chiastolite, sometimes known as the "Crossroads Stone." Chiastolite encourages creative thinking and problem-solving. Carrying or meditation with this stone helps eliminate old thought patterns and habits that may have been keeping us from moving forward in life. This light brown stone naturally marked with a black cross has a very calming nature, and is said to ward off negative energy instead of absorbing it. Chiastolite is a useful a...lly for making difficult decisions and determining what is the best path forward. You can find these and many many more crystals and stones at our on-line webstore at: https://theravenswing.com/shop #theravenswing #magichappenseveryday #shoplocal #crystals

Iris gives us our new Reading For The Week looking froward from Sunday, November 8th and through the week ahead. The deck she is using is the Numinous Tarot. What’s on our minds: 0 The Fool... We are so ready for something new. We are racking our brains for something to feel hopeful about, some fresh start. The energy of the moment is to push forward into the unknown. The heart of the matter: 8 of Vials We are sad, dear ones. We feel alone in our sorrow, isolated by circumstance and afraid of our neighbors. There are so many good reasons we can’t trust each other, and each one cuts us deeply. Our next step: Creator of Vials The answer, simple as it sounds, is to take care of each other. Feed yourself, feed your family, feed your neighbors. Cry. Let your sorrow move you. Let your joy move you. Be all the way in your feels and let them inspire you to act. And when you act, act with generosity. Want to learn more about the Tarot and how to read it for yourself and others? Join Iris for her popular On-Line Tarot Salon coming up this week on Wednesday the 11th.

Just in time for Halloween and Samhain - the October Blue Moon! Also known in some cultures as the Hunter’s Moon, this is the second Full Moon for the month, also making at a powerful Blue Moon.
