| Greetings gentle
earthlings! Thank you for taking the time to visit my homepage
at
Astronet/Keen. This page is where you can learn a little about
me, my background, and my two listings at Keen for Tarot Readings and
Women's Spirituality.
I am here
to offer you readings with my unique
round Goddess tarot deck, which I created myself.
I fell in love with the
tarot back in the 60s, and tarot has been integral to my
spiritual path
ever since. As I studied and practiced the ways of the Goddess,
I came to
see that a new tarot system was needed to meet the needs of a
changing
world.

I am also here as a priestess
of the Goddess, and
you can call on me for a variety of services under my second
listing,
called Women's Spirituality, Magic and Mystery. Click the link
below to
learn more about these offerings...
As a Scorpio on the cusp of
Libra with a Pisces
moon, and Venus and Mercury in Scorpio, I have always been a
deeply sensitive
person with an open heart and a love of all things
mystical.
My path began with music, and
music is still the
core of everything I do. During the 1960s I studied many
Eastern and
Western spiritualities (including the Tarot), while raising my
two
beautiful children. I was writing and singing my own songs by
then, and my
children became a part of the music. They loved to dance to my
songs, and
so we became The Sybil, a magic family troupe. We worked at
renaissance
fairs, in schools, living rooms and theaters up and down
California. Tarot
was an integral part of our work, and formed the topic of many
of our
pieces, along with myths and fairy tales.

In the early
1970s we settled in the redwood
forests and it was there that I found the Goddess. I became a
priestess in
service to Her, and have led rituals, taught classes, and
developed theology
ever since. I've created many Goddess-centered systems,
including a Tarot
deck, calendars, medicine wheels, runes and holy days. In 1991
my book
Ariadne's Thread (under the name Shekhinah Mountainwater) was
released by
The Crossing Press. The Thread is now considered a classic, and
is still
going strong today. I've been called Faerie Bard, Beloved
Elder, and
founding Mother - one of the first to channel Goddess-awakening
in our
time.

My children are grown and flown
now, and I am the proud grandmother of three. I continue to do
the Goddess
work that I love. I offer Tarot readings every Sunday at a
local bookshop,
as well as in my home and now at Keen. Though my path is one of
devotion
to the Divine Mother, I welcome all seekers regardless of
gender or
spiritual orientation. My Goddess Tarot cards work just fine
for women and
men alike.
I am excited
about Internet access, and find it
very magical. I look forward to connecting and sharing the
beauty and
wisdom of the Goddess and the Tarot with you. May we learn and
grow
together!
Thanks for
listening!
Talk to you soon...
P.S. If you'd
like to
order a telephone reading or session with me, click on the blue
icon
above, or the little telephone that appears in each of my
listings, shown
below. If the listing says "mail," that means I am
not on hand
at the moment to receive your call, but you can order an email
reading
instead. If it says "call" but you would prefer an
email
reading, just go to your "MY KEEN" page and click
"Send
Keen Mail", or look for a "Send Keen Mail" icon
where you
are visiting. You can write to me from there (send to
ASTROAria) and order
an email reading. Telephone readings are $2.00 per minute.
Email readings
are $25 for a brief inquiry (one or two questions), or $95 for
an in-depth
exploration (up to 7 questions) Email readings will be sent to
you within
seven days of ordering.
