I'm best known to the public as an author and horoscope columnist. My highly acclaimed book, Tarot Decoded (Weiser Books, 2004) is the first handbook of tarot dignities, and gives a wide range of techniques for expanding tarot readings using numbers and astrology. This book enjoys a five-star rating at Amazon.com. To read Amazon.com reviews, use the link above and scroll down. I'm a professional astrologer, tarotist and rune reader, and available for consultations. I've studied these arts since the 1970's and continue to explore, study, and hone skills. As Lady Vala, I've created incenses, perfumes, flower essences, and other products that are astrologically correct and smell fabulous! Some of these products have been designed specifically for ritual use. The Kozmic-Kitchen shop (Faerie Garden Gifts) product pages are under construction. This site features rituals (under "Spiritual and Magick") and spells I've written over the years. I practice in a coven, and also as a solitary mystic sorceress. My other life-long interests include music and art. In the past few years, I've become fascinated with interior decoration, home renovation, and feng shui. Although acquisition of these new skills were initially catalyzed by a leaking roof that ruined several rooms in my home, all those art classes and a good eye for color have resulted in fabulously redecorated rooms. My "style" could best be described as Parisian color sensibilities mixed with a touch of wizard chic. No doubt about it, I'm a cat person, and delight in being the guardian-hostess for three beloved kitties-- Mister Bartie, Miss Pixie Puss, and Selkit. Each cat has a distinct personality, and their kitty hijinks bring lots of laughs. Although the cat population precludes expansion into other species, I enjoy good relationships with my friends' dogs.
I also write for various various magazines and newspapers:
