How to Channel
Channeling is as scary as Hollywood makes it out to be. It’s a natural ay to communicate with higher level beings and your angels!
So, thinking about channeling? Let’s chat!
I did a Podcast called “Suddenly Seeking Spirit” with my friends Andrea and Andrew on the topic of channeling and that’s what inspired this post!
If you are reading this, I have a pretty good idea that you have heard about channeling. Even more likely is that you’ve seen channeling done in movies where a psychic’s eyes roll back in their head and their voice sounds like gollum from lord of the rings.
That’s not what real channeling is.
Channeling is a natural form of communication between humans and angelic beings, nature spirits, non-physical entities, or even animals and pets. This definition is one I found from www.cirmsoncircle.com that I really resonated with.
Channeling is, and should be, natural. We are spiritual beings first. We are pure energy and energy can’t be destroyed, it just changes. So, why does it look so goddamn hard and why do people feel like it’s out of their reach?
Well, your ego is why. We are worried about a lot of things like lower energies, “demons”, and feeling like we are making shit up or imposter syndrome.
Stop that shit. You can do this. Not only can you do it, it can change your life. To give you some perspective, I have been reading tarot for 7 years, I’m a Medium which means I talk to dead folks, and I psyched myself out about channeling for the longest time.
Then it hit me. Out of nowhere. I didn’t need to take expensive courses or sell my soul ( I don’t think).
I just started. I will share my process for how it started in this post later on.
My guide I channel is named Francisco. He has never been human and is from a whole other dimension and galaxy and offers insight about his observations of the human experience.
You can hear Francisco’s messages on my YouTube Channel Here:
If you want your own message from Francisco, you can order that here:

Channeling is something that has changed a lot for me. I can access this wisdom and guidance anytime I need it and so can you.
We are the ones who build our own blocks to our success. Spiritual Success, Financial Success, Romantic Success, all of it. We don’t see something as possible for us, so we just ignore it and keep showing ourselves reasons why it won’t work.
Here are the reasons why channeling can, will, and should, work for you:
You are already divine as fuck and don’t need to do anything extra
You have a whole Spiritual Team WAITING to contact you
You are more powerful than you know and give yourself credit for
You are pure love, you just have to see it
I asked Francisco for a message for you all about channeling are here is what he wanted to say:
“I want you to not think about how the guidance will come, what it will sound like, what it will feel like or what should happen. The biggest hindrance to all of your progress in all fronts is your expectation of what it should b, there is that much more times a million that you don’t. When you release that need to control, when you release that expectancy of what your experience will be like, that is where we are waiting to meet you. That is where your guidance is. When you lat down the need to control what the experience will be and the desire to coordinate every detail, you find the magic you are, and have been, looking for”e from your limited viewpoints. As much as you think you have control over the world around you.”
So here is a quick exercise to help you channel as you write. Also keep in mind your handwriting may change. That’s totally normal so don’t freak out.:
Supplies:
Paper
Pen/Pencil
Oracle Deck
The oracle deck is technically optional, but I found that when I first started channeled writing it gave me a topic to focus on. You can also find oracle card apps and decks online to draw cards from if you don’t have a deck yourself! I personally love Colette-Baron Reid’s website (CLICK HERE), you can draw cards from some of her decks for free!
Okay, so just sit with your paper and pen or pencil in front of you.
Take some deep breaths and really get comfortable.
Release all tension in your shoulders, jaw, and neck.
Shuffle your cards (virtual or physical) and find the card that sticks out.
Pick that card. I got a card called “Water” with “Emotional Well-being” as the subtitle.
So, knowing that’s the topic I will channel guidance about I start the process of calling in the angels and guides.
Don’t worry if you don’t see them or what they look like. Just see white light all around you.
Let this white light shine and fill up the room.
Tell them what the topic of the guidance will be and take some deep breaths.
Let go of your own thoughts and feelings and expectations.
Start listening to that small voice talking to you and write down what it says.
You can tell it to slow down if it’s going too fast.
When it stops, stop. Then review what you wrote.
You may find that you zoned out, that’s totally okay and normal! Eventually, you will get to the point where you won’t need that paper and pen and can just speak what you are hearing. It took me almost 10 days of consistent channeling to get to the point where I couldn’t keep up with just writing and had to start speaking it into my voice memos. It may take you more times, it may take you less. The important thing is to go at your own pace!
Comment on this post or send me a DM over on Instagram at www.instragram.com/tarotwithandrew and tell me how the exercise went!
Keep Channeling!

Goal Setting with The Emperor and the Angels
Welcome to 2020!
I know we have been here for over a week now, but I haven’t had the time to actually sit down and write this thing!
You can glean from the title that we are going to be talking about Archangels Michael and Uriel, The Emperor, and what it means for us.
To find out what Archangels are with you, book a Spiritual Team Reading (Click the Text to be taken to check out)!
Archangel Michael from The Angel Tarot and Archangel Uriel from the Archangel Power Tarot
2019 was a 12 Year, which associates us with the Hanged Man in the major arcana. So, if 2019 felt a little off kilter or like you were treading water, that is why. The hanged man doesn’t move. He gracefully swings by his feet while offering you a chance to reconnect with your true perspective. Likewise, if you felt turned upside down and shaken like a mother fucker, that’s his energy as well. However, you moved on, you’re here. Now let’s get down to business (to defeat the huns) with the Emperor and Archangels Michael and Uriel.
2020 (2+0+2+0=4) brings us the gift of things being set right. The Emperor doesn’t fuck around, nor do they entertain bullshit. Much the archangels associated with the cards in the Angel Tarot and Archangel Power Tarot, Michael and Uriel, the Emperor gives us the chance to clear away the nasty shit that we have been carrying with us and brings us the gifts of structure, logic, willpower, determination, and ambition.
Associated with the sign of Aries, the headstrong, independent, and steadfast goat of the Zodiac, The Emperor comes to help us sweep up all the dirt, and tie up loose ends. Much like the sign of Aries brings us Spring, the Emperor brings us the opportunity to do some spring cleaning. This includes your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional spaces. Don’t carry things that aren’t yours to carry any more. Ask yourself “Is it logical to carry these burdens?”, “How does carrying these burden negatively impact me and those around me?”.
How does this work with Angels? I am so glad you asked. Michael and Uriel (I’m going to call them the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven) can add that Angelic boost act you are looking for to help you achieve your goals and leave behind the things that are longer serving you, while helping you remain accountable for the the situations that you perpetuated, and they do it in a loving way.
Archangel Michael is the bouncer of heaven, no negativity gets though him.
Archangel Uriel is the Light of God, nothing escapes him. He can make sure you hit your mark!
These two angels can bring you into powerful alignment with the Emperor energy of 2020 by aiding you to only work on what is going to further your path. If something is a dead end, leave it alone and walk away. If you are setting goals this year, ask Uriel to shine is light on them and ask Michael to protect not only your goals, but your personal energy field as you move through this year.
Working with the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven (SSAOH) is a guaranteed way to align with the Emperor energy and to see your goals come to fruition. Oh, you want an exercise to help you? I’m glad you asked!
What you will need:
Pen
2 Pieces of Paper (or a notes app)
Tea Light Candle (if you want)
An Emperor Card (Picture or Physical Card)
1: Write down your goals on one piece of paper
2: Place the Emperor card on top of your goals (or simply draw the Aries Glyph and the number 4 on it if you don’t have access to a card)
3: Visualize Gold Glittery Light and Bright Purple light covering your goals. These are the colors for SSAOH.
4: If you feel comfortable say the following prayer: “ Archangels Michael and Uriel (or Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven), Please bring attention to my goals. Help them come to fruition in my mind and in my energy field so that I can see them in the physical world. Please protect my goal from any lower vibrations and negative energy and show me the next actionable steps to achieve these goals in the way that Emperor would. Thank you for helping me to remain focused, steadfast, determined, and dedicated to my goals and for helping me see them through. So it is”
4: After you either say the prayer, or sit with the Gold and Purple Light for a while, take out your second piece of paper and immediately begin to write action steps that feel good to you. Let your pen be guided by the Archangels.
5: Once you are finished, keep your goals and actions steps in a place where you can see them and know that the Angels have your back!
Here’s to a wonderful 2020 with the Sparkly Strong Arm of Heaven!

Acceptance and Healing!
Hello Everyone,
This is the first blog post I have written in a while, due to my crazy busy schedule and just being generally exhausted haha. But I was told to draw a card and write about it. So here it goes:
This world needs love, tolerance, and acceptance. We have suffered a huge loss this week and we can’t let this happen again. But how can we change things? What can little folks like us do to make a difference?
The card I drew is “Acceptance” from the Daily Guidance from your Angels Oracle Cards. We have GOT to start looking at others through they eyes of Angels. There is good AND evil, positive AND negative, inside all of us! We can’t escape that.
So what if people have different political views? Yes, it may be infuriating, but what if we focused on sending them positive energy instead of tearing them down, even if that’s what they do to others? Why are people so upset at one person loving another person? Does gender really matter? NO! The Bible says to pray for those who persecute you and, while the Bible and I have decided to see other people, that rings true on an energetic level as well!
When we are operating in a high vibration, we are able to see things WAY more clear. Keeping our vibrations high can be as simple as just thanking the Universe/God/Source/Whatever for what you have and showing gratitude. It could be smiling at a stranger that helps them have the courage to be nice to others and start a ripple effect.
People need us. If you are lightworker, GET TO WORK! We are here to spread love, peace, and tolerance. Get involved in causes close to your hearts. Become an advocate for what you believe in. Take a stand to let others know that they are NOT alone!
Show unconditional love to others!
That being said; unconditional love is NOT being treated like a doormat and letting people walk all over you. Also, loving yourself is just as important. You have to send love to yourself before you can send love to other people! Own how fucking amazing you are and send that energy out to others! They will begin to feel that way as well!
Go forth. Love Yourself. Love Others. Change the world!
Personal Power Chakra Spread!
Helloooo!!1 (said in the Mrs. Doubtfire voice haha)
I made this spread to help you get in touch with your personal power with the help of you chakras! Be sure to share your readings with #tarotangelchakras on Instagram! I would love to see what you get and answer any questions you have!!
You can use Tarot, Oracle, or BOTH!
Angel Blessings!

Connecting with Angels
Whether you are a seasoned pro at Angels like Doreen Virtue, or a complete and total novice having only heard of Angels in Church or not at all, we can all benefit from knowing how to connect with Angels in all of the many different ways that are available to us! That’s what this post is all about!
So, let’s lay some groundwork, Angels are basically messengers of God. They are extensions of Divine Energy, Light, and Love. So there is nothing to be afraid of in asking for their help. Don’t pay attention to the crazy people who claim that Angels belong to a certain belief system either, that is just B.S. Angels are nondenominational and you do NOT have to be a perfect little boy or girl for them to help you. So know that no matter who you are, or what you have done, they are ALWAYS willing to help you!
While there are literally zillions of ways to connect that are unique to each person, I am going to cover only a few.
Asking for Help
The first of these seems really easy (because it is) because it is simply ASKING! That’s right. Asking. By just asking for help, you open yourself for a multitude of heavenly hosts to sweep in and lift out of trouble. Of course, we have to know that an Angels isn’t going to come down in all of its heavenly glory and help you get out of a speeding ticket, that isn’t what they are for. Now, don’t get me wrong in saying that they WON’T help with that, they can, if you were maybe distracted or having a bad day, but not if you were intentionally speeding, as that could hurt someone else potentially. Angels aren’t that ‘Get out of Jail Free Card’ that is at your disposal day and night. They are beings that truly care for you, want to help you, and want to see you succeed and have a beautiful life!
This brings me to Free Will. The Angels can only help us if we ask, unless it is a case for Divine Intervention and they need to step in to save your life or something like that. If you are looking for a new job and are wondering why the Angels aren’t helping you, stop and ask yourself if you actually ASKED them for help. If you did, then don’t take the silence personally, they are just working for you bringing you what you desire in the right time table for Heaven. If you didn’t, then go ahead and get on that! It’s amazing that sometimes just asking for help seems like too much, like we don’t have time for it and then we wonder why things go to hell in a hand basket. Angels are standing around you at all times, Angels that are ASSIGNED to YOU and ONLY YOU, and they want to be put to work! Don’t ever think that you are asking too much of your Angels, they were made to help you!
Clairvoyance
This means that you ‘see’ the Angels clearly and that you ‘see’ the messages that they have for you. This happens in your mind’s eye, like a movie in your head. This can be a tad overwhelming for a lot of people when it first happens because you don’t know what to expect and you are worried that you are going to see something negative. i can assure you that, if you ask for protection, you won’t see anything scary. So, without getting way too deep for a ‘101’ post, You can just ask your Angels to help you be able to see them and then pay attention to what you ‘see’ when you look at other people or even when you ‘zone out’. You may start out seeing colors, and that is GREAT! This particular way to connect with your Angels is wonderful and is truly a gift! To cultivate this gift, meditate and ask your Angels to clear any residual (gross and sticky) energy from your Third Eye Chakra, located between your eyebrows. When this energy is out of whack you will notice that you have a hard time ‘seeing’ clearly. Like it’s not focused enough. For me, when I was scared of Clairvoyance, I saw lower and negative energies that were manifestations of my fear. I got rid of the fear, and haven’t seen them since! So don’t be afraid! Especially those of you who were brought up to believe that it is evil…let that belief go, breathe, and be happy! Happy ‘Seeing’!
Claircognizance
This is when you have a very clear thought that is sent from Heaven and your Angels. This is another amazing way that the Angels will connect with you. If you are having a hard time with a project, or a job, person, or even a pet, you can ask the Angels for ideas and then be open to what you receive from them! This also works when we pray for guidance. Our prayers are often answered in the form of ideas and thoughts. So we have to make sure that we are always on our toes to receive those answers! These answers come from your Crown Chakra located at the top of your noggin. When this is balanced and in line, you are in constant communication with the Divine and you let it guide your words thoughts and actions in every way. When this particular chakra is out of whack, you are going have those negative, degrading, sad, and useless thoughts that aren’t self serving but rather are detrimental to your spirit. Like Clairvoyance, cultivating this gift can be done through meditation. Asking the Angels, once again, to remove residual energies from that Crown Chakra. There is so much to be said for Claircognizance and it’s ability to deepen your relationship with the Angels is truly profound. I feel that this gift is often glossed over when it is one of the most crucial ways of connecting with Angels, Guides, and the Divine itself!
Clairaudience
I love this one. It is my primary sense when I connect with Angels, Departed loved ones, and other energies. This is when you hear clearly, the guidance from your Angels. This one actually took me aback when it happened the first time because I was so caught up in wanting to ‘see’ them that I didn’t much think about ‘hearing’ them! I have to say, it is amazing when you get messages this way. And all you have to do is ask your Angels to whisper to you what they want you to know. This is an particularly interesting gift because once you open yourself up to it, the Angels can be little chatter-boxes! They are always telling you what you need to do, giving you advice, and sometimes just saying ‘Hi!’. Be careful that you when you ask to connect with your Angels through Clairaudience that you are protecting your energy as well. Your Ego loves to trip you up when you begin to open yourself up to guidance from your Angels. They will never say anything negative, degrading, or hurtful to you or about you. If this happens then immediately ask that your energy, and the energy around you, be cleared.
Clairsentience
This is the last of the “Clairs” . This is all about FEELING! When I conduct Mediumship readings and a Spirit is proud of the Client, they make me feel proud and happy! This a beautiful gift because it can literally give you hope and peace. If you are stressed out, just ask your Angels for feelings of peace and happiness. They WILL come through for you! Pay attention to everything you feel (if you are a Cancer, this is easy haha) once you ask for guidance and just let it flow through you! It’s just that simple!
Tarot/Oracle Cards
One more way to connect with Angels is the one I use every single day. Tarot and Oracle Cards, Angel oriented or not, are a wonderful way to get guidance! The greatest this about this method is that it can ‘trigger’ any one, or ALL, of the gifts mentioned above! Every single person on earth has the gifts that I have talked about, it just takes practicing them! Tarot and Oracle cards have such an amazing source of inspiration for myself and millions of people. The Angels can use these as well if you let them! Sit quietly, get rid of distractions, breathe and center yourself, ask your Angels a question, shuffle the deck until you feel the need to stop, and draw a card! It is that simple! If you are interested in this method but don’t have any decks of your own, I HIGHLY suggest the Archangel Power Tarot Cards and The Archangel Oracle Cards, both by Doreen Virtue. They are AMAZING at helping you connect with your Angels!
I truly hope this post has helped you and enlightened you! If you would like an Angelreading with me, you can click here! I would to help you connect to your Angels and empower you to do the same!
Be blessed you beautiful soul!

Be The Empress of your life! You to fellas!
Hello All!
Blog post time, again!
I have two cards today, ‘The Empress’ and ‘Be You’.
Living authentically is something that has been coming up a lot for a lot of people. Authenticity is honoring all sides and aspects of yourself in a way that is freeing and liberating to you mentally, spiritually, and physically.
The Empress comes to us as a reminder to nurture ourselves and embrace that feminine energy of receptivity and love. We all want to manifest money, abundance, and prosperity in the physical world, but what about in our spirits? Everything that we see on the outside is a direct reflection of what is going on inside of us. There is a song by Alanis Morissette called “Underneath”, and it is literally my jam (find it linked below) because it talks about the direct correlation between our heart and the physical world.
The Empress is a gorgeous card, a woman who is in touch with her power and her creativity and her light. You can benefit from her wisdom even if you are a male, so get that notion out of your mind, right now (shakes finger). Be prepared for a lot of work ahead, you are getting tons of guidance right now that is unlocking the person that you want to be and person that Universe says you already are. This guidance is meant to be acted on, not sat around and played with.
‘Be You’ is telling us that it is indeed a challenge to live authentically, and that it is imperative we take every opportunity to be our true selves.
*Example* I recently got a new District Leader at work and she asked what brought me to DC. I had the option to either say“my roommate and I moved up her for ‘xyz’” or “my boyfriend and I moved up here for ‘xyz’”.
Being gay isn’t something that I advertise, not that I am ashamed in any way, shape, or form, because I honestly don’t give a shit haha, but I just don’t like to throw it in people’s face, it isn’t necessary to me. But I had the option to care, or not to care. And I decided not to care, and it felt really good!!! So that is my example**
These two lovely cards are telling you to use the power of The Empress to launch yourself into a brand new world of authenticity and badassery! haha
Much Love,
Andrew

Hi!
The "King of Earth" pops up for us today! I love the energy of the Kings. Ths particular King comes with sign of abundance and prosperity. For me, the new iPhone launches tomorrow so it's quite relevant to me. This card is about success. You are entering into a time where success is yours if you take those steps into opportunities offered to you. Don't look at the 'what could go wrong', and look what is already going right! Literally everything you do right now will be successful. This being said, we are Mercury Retrograde so don't start really new ventures, businesses, or make big purchases. Instead, until this MR is over on the 9th of October, focus on cultivating yourself to be ready to take those leaps. Opportunities can still be offered to you, just tell them you need a few days to think it over. I actually did that once and realized, after taking a step back, that it wasn't an option I needed to pursue. Either way, success is yours!!!!
Angel Blessings,
Andrew

Hello!!
Today we have "Justice" from the Angel Tarot. Sometimes we drag our feet in making choices that we need to make because they aren't easy. This card comes as a swift kick in the ass to make the decision. Do what you know to do because you are only prolonging pain if you don't. You know in your heart and in your mind that this is choice that needs to be made. "Rip off the band-aid" is what I'm getting with this card. This choice will restore balance to your life and help you walk your path with more confidence and joy.
Angel Blessings,
Andrew

Tarot and Apps...Is it the Same?
Yo!
So this is the first, non card of the day, post in a while. I want to talk about Tarot Cards vs. Tarot Apps. I know several people who prefer not to use them, and that's awesome. I know some people who choose to use them, but just for fun. I personally use them daily and I will tell you why:
1. I love the ease of access. It is so convenient for those of us who don't carry bags and can't carry a physical deck around with us. It also reduces the chance of physical cards getting damaged while we are out and about. I personally use an App for my card of the day 99% of the time, and have great success with it. This leads me to reason number two.
2. They are just as accurate as your physical deck, if you let them be. I use my tarot apps for readings for clients if I am on the go and don't have a deck with me. I have gotten just as much positive feedback as those readings that are done with a physical deck. For me, Tarot and Oracle Apps are amazingly accurate because I put my energy into them and I set my intention to have an accurate and divinely guided reading. I do the same prayer no matter what type of deck I use, and invoke the same 3 Archangels (Michael, Haniel, and Gabriel) as I normally would. If Tarot Apps don't work for you, think about the reason why. Are you already thinking that it won't work, or be accurate, before you even use it?
3. They are great if you want to try a deck out. I personally have Apps on my phone of decks that I wouldn't buy the Physical Copy of. Not for any particular reason, I just like it better on my phone. But out of the 43 Tarot and Oracle apps I have, I own 33 of them as Physical Decks. For the most part, if the app is made my The Fool's Dog, LLC, you are able to read the entire guidebook for the deck as well. And I don't know about you, but I would rather pay 3.99 for a deck and not like it than pay 25-30 bucks, only to discover I can't connect with it. A prime example of this is The Revelations Tarot, I just can't get into it yet.
4. They are super fun and easy! Most of them let you choose your own virtual Reading Cloth, while giving you tons of layouts to choose from! This is amazing to me, as I love little personal touches like that :)
This post is not to convince anyone to download Tarot/Oracle Apps, only to state my observation about them :)
Ange Blessings,
Andrew
