Angel's Tree of Wisdom Studio

My studio Space is located at 65 Manchester Street, West Warwick RI.  I'm on the 2nd floor of an Artist Studio Complex inside of an old Lace and Dye Mill in Rhode Island.  I primarily use the Studio space for creating content in videos and blogs, hosting meetings and conducting readings for clients. I also have Tarot Students that meet  here.

The Studio is a work in progress.  I am happy to share these before-hand photos because the plans we have to transform the space for my usage is pretty exciting actually!  This weekend I was visited by my exceptionally talented Designer from Creating Wonderland Designs.  https://www.facebook.com/CreatingAWonderland/ 

Giorgiana presented me with a personal gift and offering for my studio.  Please note the lovely detail in the way it was painted.  Both  sides have depictions of the Constellations for each Zodiac Sun Sign.  The knobs for each drawer were hand painted...and from top to bottom, represent the Phases of the Moon from New Moon to New Moon again. ***If you would like more information about Moon Phases, please schedule a reading with me and we can explore how the Moon cycles affect your life and outcomes!

 

 

After consulting for the weekend on how the New layout and redecorating will happen, I decided to start by placing the existing furniture into the general area where it will stay long term after the redec.  My table and chair had to move, and my desk too.  Slightly untidy at the moment, but somewhat functional, I decided to journal in my blog and include all my readers in the joy of this grand transformation. 

 

The Tarot Card associated with Transformation energy or the Transformative nature of life, is the Death Card.  See the image below:

 

 

Today is a Death Card kind of Day.  According to the Astrology of the day, we are entering the Moon Phase of the New Moon.  During this period, the moon is not visible,  This also correlated to the Death Card.  The moon is experiencing it's regular transformation from one month to the next.  It's wonderful how things are all connected.  We are all experiencing transformations that occur during the course of a month or a quarter of the year.  To ignore such a pattern is to be stupid.  To embrace it, experience it fully and feel our way through it, allows us to connect to a process that is centuries old. We have become so reliant on clocks, calendars and the TV schedules...there is no need to understand the changes of nature, as they are spoon-fed to us everyday by the demand of our over-scheduled lives.



 

 

I created this studio at the most UNLIKELY time. I had been practicing as a Tarot Card Reader already for years....working from home, and mostly reading at home or in the homes of my clients.  But in August of 2016, as the rest of my world felt as though it were unraveling at rapid speed, I took a leap of faith and created this space.  There have been, and still will be obstacles to overcome so that I can earn a full living working for myself from this space.  But I now see the possibilities and believe that they are within reach and that I can achieve them.  #Transformation.  #Death card. #New Moon.

 

It is my intention to launch this as a business in the future.  And by "in the future", I mean now...but there will come a day, when I will have a great party and we will celebrate that the Studio is officially launched and that day will be wonderful.  It's what I am working towards now as I develop my brand and my message and all the bells and whistles that go with it.  I have operated other small businesses and so I know that these are a great venture and adventure.  I have had a small Child Daycare in my home.  I have operated a very tiny Music Studio where I taught Private Music Students to sing, play French horn and Beginner piano.  I even had Speech Clients who I coached as Vocal students.  This helped them be able to be better public speakers.  And then I ran a very small business that struggled against much market competition, and that was an Event Planning/Wedding Planning Business.  That one was my favorite.  I truly love to host parties and large events.

 

I am learning that entrepreneurship is in the blood, or it is not.  For me, it has always been there.  I cannot escape my desire to be at the top of my work, top of my profession.  And so now, After years of struggling to settle into an industry where I feel connected to my soul journey and also where I can be recognized as a professional in my field, I have chosen my direction and set my sails.  Now we wait for the optimal wind.  Don't mind me if I am being slightly cryptic, but when you are creating your business, you want it to succeed, and so this requires some amount of private work that you can later detail how you got there...and I certainly will.  Many of you will be a part of that when the day comes.

 

 

It is NOT enough to simply be good at something.  To succeed as a business where you can thrive while serving your Divine Purpose and your life path, you must plan, pray and execute fearlessly.  Preparation is key.  I have hoped, dreamed and envisioned and that has gotten me far.  I am a skilled healer already, in that I am a Clairvoiyant and Clairsentient and Intuitive person with Psychic abilities and Mediumship abilities.  Therefore, I can conduct effective Tarot Card readings for clients...and help them.  But without a clear path toward my customer base, I am no more than a part-time hobbyist as a healer. I know I am worth more than that title.

Some of the other modalities that I am interested in learning more about are:  Reiki, crystals and precious gems for healing;  color and aromatherapy;  herbal therapies;  teas;  essential oils;  organic gardening and homesteading;  Ancient Runes and Astrology.

If these interest you too, please follow my blog and also my facebook page where I will create quality short video content, literature content and be easily contacted for Readings in person and over Facebook Messenger. https://www.facebook.com/Angels-Tree-of-Wisdom-Tarot-834044466638153/

I hope to hear from you.  Stay well. 
Love everybody and Be Blessed

My Favorite Tool

Every decent Tarot Card Reader/Angel Card Reader has a few favorite decks.  The RADIANT Rider Waite Deck is my favorite deck and probably always will be.  I guess I am slightly old-fashioned for preferring the endearing and memorable, easily identifiable imagery of the Classic Rider Waite deck of Tarot Cards.  The Radiant part is that some additional images appear on various cards, and the colors are enhanced.  I also like the shape, size and weight of the deck as well as the plastic coating that they seal the deck with.  You see...all Decks are not created equally!

A few years ago I sat with a Card reader for what I assumed would be a Tarot reading.  She used a deck I recognized as Spanish Playing cards.  I call them "Bricas".  They are sort of a midway between regular playing cards and Tarot.  Their images on the Court cards was very tarot-esque, being they show cups and coins and sticks. There size, more like regular cards.  Anyway....that was the woman who turned me from reading Angel Cards to reading Tarot cards more exclusively.  I know you are dying to know why!  I'll tell you.

My name is Angel (AngelMarie if you please)...and growing up with a name like Angel has not been easy.  As an adult I strongly prefer AngelMarie, AM or Mrs. Carroll.  My husband, close friends, mom and sisters/cousins call me Angel.  No one else.  Somewhere along the lines, I feel like I was brainwashed into the "Angel" mindset.  I mean...I was a good person right?  Angelic?  Wouldn't want to ruin that image by say...gee, I don't know...identifying yourself as a witch? Well, what if I were both?  Maybe my Mother was from a long line of witches and my father was a nephilim?  Maybe he and she created a unique offspring, only one.  Me.  And maybe....just maybe....I am both Angel and Witch.

I was uncomfortable the day she told me I was a witch.  She told me to stop using those Angel Cards (nothing wrong with Angel Cards, by the way...just not the right tool for me).  She addressed my worst fears that day.  It would take me months...maybe a year...before I could say it out loud and not feel like something was wrong with me.  I am a witch.  Am I an Angel?  I don't know.  But I am a witch.  And Tarot cards are one of my favorite tools of divination.  I teach everyone I meet.  I teach them to use runes, tarot cards, crystals, oracle cards and more.  I always encourage people to look inside themselves and use these tools for understanding their true nature, connecting with it...embracing it.  Give yourself a big hug.  You are special.

So it turns out that there is nothing actually scary about being a witch....being intuitive, clairaudient or clairsentient.  Many of you may have heard of Clairvoyance....it's similar to that.  I smell things a lot...hear them...feel them coming before others do.  Sometimes something stops me dead in my tracks to alert me of danger or to whisper a message in my ear.  Sometimes while people are talking to me I hear their words and their hidden thoughts both at the same time.  I usually prefer being alone because having gifts like this makes me sometimes despise having to deal with other people.  I truly appreciate the sincere, real, open...honest people.  They are easy.  Animals, children....easy.  Them I love to be around all the time.  They are a breath of fresh air. 

Do you share my experiences in this way?  Maybe you have gifts too.  If so, what are you doing to learn how to work with those tools to have the best life ever?  You can you know.  You can even use those gifts to help you more easily navigate the toughest times in your life.  You can channel, meditate...trust in your own true north.  Be your own compass!  How about manifestation?  Would you like to manifest your desires?  You can you know. 

It all starts with being willing to hear the truth.  Ask for your mentor.  Ask for your tools.  Meditate on this.  If you need help, let me know.  I love to teach.

How is it that I wrote a wonderful Blog about my Feng Shui Tarot Cards and then I never wrote again for another year?  It's shocking to me...that I can not write for so long.  I deliberately keep myself away from my laptop and away from my cards.  I opened a Tarot Studio this past August (August 2016).  It is now January 20, 2017.

 

Well...2016 was incredible for me.  A year ago- so January 2016....I was in WalMart with my fiancé.  We were grocery shopping.  And technically, we had broken off our engagement and only recently had started seeing one another again.  We hatched a very bold plan at that point and it was that we should get Married!  We spent January, February and March planning the wedding...which took place April 10th, 2016! 

 



SOOOOOOO.....life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think everything's ok....

We went on a sweet honeymoon to Canada directly following the Wedding.

 

 

We returned to our "normal lives" in late April.  My husband suddenly lost his job and then we sold his house over the summer.  During that time, he and his dogs moved into my Apartment with me and my Children.  We spent many months learning how to live all together.  On Father's day I got a terrible phone call.  My Father's cancer was back.  This time....terminal.  No way to cure.

 

It was sad watching my father deteriorate through the summer and fall.  He passed away on December 8, 2016 at age 64.  Here he is with me and my husband and Father-in-Law:

 

 

 

THROUGHOUT....all of these times....my cards were with me and were my Faithful guides and friends. 

I started working with a new Tarot Deck on Valentines Day, February 14, 2016.  Those are the Radiant Rider-Waite Deck.  I will be very pleased to introduce them in my next Blog Entry.

 

In August 2016, I found a Studio Space in Evolution Mill.  It's basically and Artist Studio where I have a large studio room.  I meet clients and students there for trainings and readings.  Also, I can read, practice, meditate, write and practice my craft there.

 

I hope you are happy to finally get a new blog entry and I am looking forward to writing more.  I marked my calendar to remind myself to write a new blog weekly.  Let's see if we can accomplish better consistency with this blog in 2017.

 

Many Blessings and Happiness to you all :-)
