Lelandra's Writings

photo from June 2000

The photo above was from Jubilee Olde English Faire in June 2000.

While I was a stay-at-home mom, I did quite a bit of writing on the subject of Tarot. When my son went to school, I retrained as a massage therapist, and have taken a hiatus from this subject matter for a while.

About Me

Spiritually, I am a cognitive practitioner and contemplative, and have been working with the Tarot since 1983. Though my journey began with books by Merlin Stone, Barbara Walker, Zsuzsanna Budapest, Starhawk, Marion Weinstein, Judy Chicago, and Mary Daly in the early 1980's, it wasn't long before Eris intervened and Illuminatus! and R.A.W. warped my worldview. My path took a more hermetic direction for the several years, before turning in the direction of healing traditions. I am currently interested in the role of massage, bodywork and bonesetting and their role in traditional western medicine (as opposed to the youthful orthodox mechanical medicine tradition currently at the top of the heap).
