Lelandra's Writings

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. I spent the first couple of years after graduation simply building my practice, and not writing much. In 2008, I began doing more writing again. However, my subject has shifted now to the area of Health and Wellness. I have two projects I am working on now:

• Gluten Free Root and Leaf: Home Cooking for the Cap'n Crunch Generation (a wiki cookbook - 11/7/08 - link killed because spammers destroyed the wiki - I don't know if it will be put back online or not yet)
• Bodywork Healing Modalities (a collection of articles about massage and bodywork modalities)

On the subject of Tarot...

• Tarot Decks In Categories: A Picture is Worth 1000 Words (More than a dozen different categories showing the same cards across several different decks)
• A Collection of Decks (Mini-reviews of decks in my collection)
• Golden Dawn-Based Tarot Study Guide
• Corresponding Court Cards between Decks (A visual argument showing how to relate Thoth to RWS)
• Meditative Tableaux (This is a skeletal page lacking detail at this point)
• History of Women's Tarot Timeline
• The Merlin and Dreampower Tarots of R.J. Stewart: Harmonics and Qabalistic Basis
• The English Qabalah of W.G. Gray (compared to Golden Dawn and French correspondences)
• Hogwarts Houses and the Four Elements
