Dislikes:arrogance, irresponsibility, greed, real life 'drama', cell phones, clutter, cigarette smoke.
Hobbies:I talk to the moon. I draw and paint all the live-long day. The wheels of my mind never stop.
Vices:Really good chocolate. (Evil stuff.)
Heroes:Responsible, free-thinking people who seek their own opportunities and work toward personal success. People who rescue animals.
As a longtime researcher of the paranormal, I'm simply awe-stricken and excited about recent devices for spirit communication, which allows one to have 'phone' conversations with those who passed into the afterlife. As science and spirituality merge, these devices will quickly continue to improve for clearer and clearer spirit communication.
Continuing the most exciting saga of ghost research, this bit (link below) was captured through the latest device created by quantum physics scientist Andy Coppock - using his modified induction amplifier - which captured the voice of a spirit named Sophie, age 6, talking, singing & giggling. This took place this month at the Black Swan Inn, San Antonio, Texas, among many witnesses.
This is a significant step up from the impressive 'Frank's Box' by Frank Sumption. With this one, the voice is much clearer, signifying a clearer connection to the spirit world. If you are not familiar with the Frank's Box, otherwise known as ghost box, visit this link for information:
Needless to say, with that regarding the 'paranormal', there are greatly varying viewpoints, which is healthy and helps keep our minds refreshed and grounded. But as one of many who have had many-an-encounter with spirits, and have witnessed and taken part in contact using devices such as the K2 meter and recorders, I find this to be of incredible credence and importance.

SInce some of you have been asking, I wanted to whet your appetites by showing you ---for the first time--- a sneak preview into The Faerie Guidance Deck. Though it was completed a year ago, it won't be released until May 2012 through Llewellyn; that IS a painfully long while away, but sometimes a lengthy release date is part of the publishing world. However, like chocolate, it's another sweet treat to look forward to, and I think it'll be worth your wait. Fun, fun things on the horizon.
Sneak-peek (below) into a publishing project I've been working on: They are called 'Witchlings'. More details about this project in time. :)

I'm continually in the midst of creating a second tarot deck (both the art and writing), which is quite the journey as it's exhaustively time-comsuming, but in the long-run is rewarding to create. Here is a peek into the deck as it progresses: Joie de Vivre.
You can purchase my first deck, 'Paulina Tarot', in fine shops and online at Amazon.
My Six of Wands card is on the current cover of the US Games catalogue.
