Jackie Dene Hay

.

 

Jackie Dene Hay, five years old, disappeared in Topeka, Kansas in September of 1981. She was reportedly playing with other children, but did not return home. She was last seen walking away from a park. Today, she would be forty-six years old, if she was found alive. Lets see what the cards have to say about her case. I decided to use a horoscope layout for this reading, because it often offers more information, and I have never heard anything, at all, about this case.  

We begin with the ace of wands, reversed, in the first house, defining the entire matter. This little girl was on her way back to her house from playing outside, and for some reason, the walk back inside just got "cancelled". The ace of wands often refers to "cancellations". The next card, in the second house, governing important material possessions, is the two of swords, also reversed. Could an adult have offered something to this little girl? Here, we have an unexpected change of direction. Something took Jackie completely off course. In the third house, of siblings and other relatives, communication, and short journeys, we have the nine of wands, reversed. The nine of wands, when if falls reversed, shows impatience and obstacles, so I am going to venture a guess that Jackie didn't keep up with the other children, and had fallen behind them, a few paces. There is usually safety in numbers, and she somehow ended up without her playmates. The fourth house card, representing the home environment, is the four of swords, reversed. In reversal, this card means renewed activity; sometimes unrest. She disappeared from somewhere very close to her family's residence. 

The fifth house, of creativity, children, and entertainment, gives us the Knight of Swords, reversed. I do not like this at all, because the Knight of Swords is a rather violent card, especially upside down. This is definitely a youngish man, and he is involved in Jackie's disappearance. He very well might have known Jackie personally. This man had some unresolved anger issues, and a tendency to blame innocents, especially children, for his feelings. The sixth house, of inconvenience and and mundane annoyances, shows the four of wands, reversed. This shows an unfulfilled search, with the missing family member never found, and questions never properly addressed or answered. Upside right, this card would describe a victory lap, but upside down it shows lack of completion. It also harks back to the possible motive of the Knight of Swords: somehow, he thought his life would be easier if he harmed this child.

In the seventh house, which details partnerships, for good or for ill, we have the Knight of Cups, reversed. This is a dishonest young man, and I believe he is related to the search for Jackie. He either did not know how to conduct a search, and wasn't honest about it, or he had ulterior motives for allowing the case to remain unsolved. He was part of the effort to find Jackie. This brings me to the eighth house card, which is the seven of pentacles. While this card still describes success that has not yet been attained, it shows an effort. It is part of the outgrowth of the seventh house of partnerships, so I think that many of the clues can still be followed, if someone is willing to try.

The ninth house, of ideals, bears the two of cups, reversed. Jackie's disappearance somehow spurred some disharmony, somewhere. In addition to faulty search efforts, I see a breakdown of communication between people involved and strained relationships. In the tenth house, which governs law and legal matters, we have the Page of Swords, which represents a valid tip. This card often represents a young person, but since any witnesses to the incident would no longer be young, but middle aged, we must take that into account. Another thing this card often shows is a letter or some other type of communication, and its tenth house position is all about law enforcement. This is a sign of hope. 

We have, in the eleventh house, of hopes, wishes, and friends, the eight of swords, reversed. This tells us that new beginnings are now possible; I interpret this to mean that information that can solve this case is now available, where in the past, it was not. This is a freeing up of resources and tips. In the twelfth house, of dissolution and enemies, we find the Moon, reversed. This refers to action of someone who had either planned to harm Jackie, or planned to harm a child, on that day. Sadly, this was not an accident or a spur of the moment crime, but something that was premeditated.We will hope that the case gets solved.

Afterthoughts: In musing upon clues, here, it is abundantly clear, from the appearance of the Knight of Swords, that the key to finding this little girl is in identifying the perpetrator. I really think that clues can be found very close to where she lived, at the time. I think any searches of properties to which she was connected, or visited frequently, should be repeated.

 

Request For Another Reading About Kyron Horman

I haven't put any new readings on this site for awhile, but there was a request for another reading about Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon in June of 2010 and is still missing. This reading will be a tarot reading in a horoscope spread, and we will see if the cards can shed any light on this case. My focus here is about where Kyron is, and how he can be found.

The first card, representing the first house, of the situation itself, along with all of the intentions and potential, is the five of wands, reversed. This harks back to the day Kyron disappeared; there were obstacles that the perpetrator did not foresee, and for reasons which will hopefully be explained by the rest of the reading, the cards feel that this has a bearing on the case, today. So there must be a detail that was left unattended by the perpetrator, even though no one has located Kyron. The second house, of material and practical concerns, gives us the Hierophant, reversed. The speaks to the unorthodox and strange way that this whole crime was carried out. It is also a suggestion for investigators to be open to new ways of solving crimes. It's number is five, and I think that may be significant, too., especially since the reading began with a "five". In the third house, we have the King of Swords, reversed. The third house deals with relatives and communication, and sometimes, short journeys. While said relatives represented by the third house are usually siblings, it is possible that this reversed king is an older male relative who does not wish for Kyron to be found. This could also represent law enforcement, and negligence concerning the questioning of certain relatives, and the failure to get as much information from them as possible. While the Hierophant tells us about the environment and process, the king refers to a person, or an organization made up of people, such as a police department. There is also a chance that this upside down king is actually an accomplice who told Kyron a lie to gain his cooperation.

The fourth house, of the physical environment, gives us the Lovers. Since Kyron was obviously not old enough for the traditional meaning of this card, I will point out that this card also refers to choices. Because it has appeared in the house of physical location, and sometimes the later stages of life, I am going to go out on a limb, here, and postulate that it refers to Kyron's father's marriage to Terri, and to the home they shared. Somehow, this whole situation started there. Also, to bring the first card back into the spotlight for a minute, it was a card with the value of "five": I think this whole mess got its start at 5:00 or 5:30 in the morning. In the fifth house, we have the King of Pentacles. This is a card of a man who either owns or is employed by a stable company in the house of children and amusement. As he is upside right, he is neutral to the situation, and may have helped the perpetrator in some way, without even realizing it. Perhaps his surveillance camera picked up some movement or clue, and he deleted it, without realizing what he had. Or maybe he met Kyron, face to face, and did not know that Kyron was in danger. Nonetheless, this person may be able to shed light, if he realizes what his contribution means. 

The sixth house, which shows us all the little and big inconveniences of life, features the Knight of Cups. This is a man who is still actively looking for Kyron. I am happy to see him, here. He is open to suggestions and able to listen to the right tip, and follow up on it. Since he is in the house of inconvenience, he is a problem to the perpetrator. Moving along to the seventh house, of partnerships and partners, we have the Page of Swords, reversed. This is a young person who partnered with the perpetrator. Swords often deals with words, both written and spoken, so we can expect this young person to given false testimony about Kyron and Kyron's whereabouts. I will also note, here, that this page is the same suit, swords, as the king who showed up in the third house. Perhaps it refers to a child and an older man from the same branch of a large or complicated family. This page knows the truth, as it relates to the first house, but won't discuss it. The eighth house, which is about the wills, and assets generated by death, gives us the Moon. This is betrayal and enemies, here. This was not only about hate, but about getting something of value by creating this whole situation. 

The ninth house, which shows the goals and ideals, along with longer travels, gives us the Queen of Pentacles. This is another woman connected to the case. As she is upright, I am going to assume that she has Kyron's best interest at heart, and is trying to find him. Look for her to be involved in the resolution of this case! Moving along to the tenth house, of public influences and government involvement, we have the Devil, reversed. There has been a certain amount of ego involved in this search, along with misapplied traditional "wisdom". It is time to listen to Hierophant in reverse, and go over things in a less traditional way. In the eleventh house, representing the organizations that have helped, we get the seven of cups, showing the general lack of success, so far, in finding Kyron. There have been a lot of far fetched theories and tips followed, here, and the seven of cups is telling us that something fundamental has been completely overlooked and ignored. The eleventh house shares an axis with the fifth house, where we found the King of Pentacles. I really think it is time to find out who he is and see what he has to say! He is a loose end here, that was never tied up by the perpetrator. 

The twelfth house, of death and self undoing, gives us the Empress, reversed. I think this is the maternal figure who had access to Kyron in the early morning hours of June 4, 2010, and who took him to school, where he was last seen. The reversal of this card speaks for itself; it reveals a shallow woman who cares only for herself. She appears opposite the knight in the sixth house, so I think the knight is working to counteract her. There were, and are, definitely others involved, and others who know exactly what happened to Kyron. This perpetrator did not act alone.

The cards, once again, have not described a death for Kyron, although the reversed Empress is certainly a dangerous person. The Moon in the eighth house is a bit troubling, and could show a final resting place outside, in water. The first two cards also give us a clue: five, or perhaps a route number, such as rt. 5, or maybe five miles away. Also, the fourth house is where the Lovers turned up, and it is on the same axis as the tenth house, where we got the Devil, reversed. The Devil sometimes tells us of friends or partners who are trapped in a relationship by things other than friendship and love; such as blackmail and secrets. Perhaps someone is no longer trapped by the reversed Empress will be able to shed light on this. As always, I am hoping that Kyron turns up alive. If he does, he will be a young man, by now. 

 

New Post On Solarsight

There is a new post on this blog's sister site, Solarsight Tarot Readings. It is about using the Tarot for dream interpretations, something I have not covered here, on this site.

Myra Alissia Freeman

Myra Alissia Freeman was taking out the trash one evening at her home in Alabama, where she lives with her parents. She is seventeen years old, and the back story, along with the sheriff's contact information, is on the poster. But what happened, and where is she?

The basis is the seven of wands, reversed, crossed by Temperance. The seven of wands usually refers to something left unguarded when it falls reversed, and it speaks to loss, and the embarrassment that follows loss; as if one should have known better. Temperance shows good combinations and management. Beneath this, we have the eight of pentacles, reversed. The eight of pentacles is the card of the apprentice, but as Alissia was only seventeen, we can probably safely assume that this refers to schooling. As it falls reversed, it shows stresses, or problems, in that area. So we are given school stresses as a backdrop.

Following this, but still in the recent past, we have the four of wands, reversed. This is completed harvest and the chance to relax after hard work, and that is what it means in either the reversed or upright position. Reversed sometimes suggests that while things are not perfect, things are still pretty good. A possible outcome is the seven of pentacles, reversed, which I do not like. The seven of pentacles is the reaping of the fruits of one's labor when it falls upside right, but in reversal, it means the opposite: wasted efforts with no reward. This is a suggestion that Alissia may not be found immediately. The next card, in the near future, is Death. While the card can foretell a death, it is much more common for this card to tell us about a major change in someone's life, or in a situation. So far, I have not seen any violence in this reading that would have caused a death.

In the place of fears, we have the four of pentacles, which is a fear of waste, or a fear of not having enough money. I am actually happy to see this card in this position, as it relates to things that are on Alissia's mind. The next card is the Page of Swords, reversed. This page is in the place of environment, and is a young person who probably knows exactly where Alissia can be found. As the card has come up reversed, it suggests spying and lying, which is how this young person helped Alissia disappear. In the place of hopes, we have the Empress. This is the "mother" card of the Tarot, and as she appears upside right, we can assume that the mother in the situation, Alissia's mother, is her ally, here. This is also something that is on Alissia's mind. The final card is Justice, reversed, which worries me a bit. When Justice falls reversed in a reading, it usually warns that an authoritative decision somewhere along the line will be made, and it will impede progress. This could mean several things. First, it could be telling us that the police will determine that Alissia "ran away", and since she is seventeen, they will not realize that runaways are in just as much danger as kidnapping victims, and close her case. Or it could warn us that someone with whom Alissia is spending time could become paranoid or unjust in some way, and harm Alissia...or it could mean that law enforcement simply looks in all the wrong places and does not have any solid leads. I hate to see this card reversed as a final outcome.

As for location, Death would point us north. The item on the card that caught my eye is his flag, bearing the white, mystic rose. Could Alissia have ended up in a place that has "rose" in it's name? The four of pentacles also points us north, but the card is reversed, so perhaps things are stalled. The Page of Swords would use east as a direction, but he is also reversed, but the transformation of Death clearly shows that Alissia has traveled enough to dramatically change her situation. It appears, by this reading, that while she is in danger, it is not too late for rescue. I hope she is found soon.

What Happened To Tammy Mahoney?

Tammy Mahoney disappeared in 1981, and is presumed dead. Let's see if the Tarot can give us some ideas about her whereabouts and what happened to her.

The reading starts with the five of wands crossed by the page of swords. The five of wands is trickery; someone with key information has already played games with law enforcement and given deliberately misleading information. This person feels, somehow, more powerful, by withholding information. It's a bit like "owning" the situation. The incident in the past, leading up to this, involves traveling on a road that forked; the two of wands indicates a road that goes north/south for this. There is already a feeling that Tammy did not travel much further than the fork in the road. The next card is the Page of Pentacles. reversed. This indicates a difference of opinion Tammy had with someone, but to Tammy, it was not terribly important. Her companions that evening may have felt differently. The next card appears to describe a person involved in Tammy's disappearance. The Emperor, reversed, gives us an adult male who is immature for his age and possibly still lives at home......or at least, he did in 1981. The Emperor is usually an indication of a good father and a responsible man, but when it falls reversed, it often tells of a man who is not responsible for his children, and may owe child support for more than one child. Once again, this relates to this person's situation in 1981. The next card is the eight of wands, reversed. This is jealousy and arguments, as it falls reversed, but I am thinking that it may also be trying to tell us that "eight" is an important landmark or number. 

The staff give is the four of cups, reversed, in the place of fears. Here we see, once again, that the perpetrator is afraid, for some reason, to move on productively in life and grow up. This card, reversed, in any other position in a reading would tell us that this person is content, but in this position, it means that he is afraid to relax and be content. The next card we have is the Lovers, reversed. This points us toward the situation when Tammy went missing. Usually, when this card appears reversed in a position describing the people around a situation or person, it tells of parents or a family who are not in favor or a person's choice of marriage or domestic partner. Somehow, this dynamic came into the picture, here, too. This is followed up by the ace of swords, reversed, in the place of desires. This is momentary, short lived power, and someone had made it a mission and a raison d`etre to "eliminate" Tammy. The only good news I see here is that the Knight of Cups, and man in his late thirties or early forties, is still looking for Tammy. The rest of the reading does not look promising; it appears as if Tammy was murdered, very likely shot, and buried somewhere off of a highway. Hopefully, she will be found soon.

Update On Relisha Rudd

A question was posed to me concerning the time frame of finding Relisha Rudd. The Tarot is notoriously difficult to understand in establishing time frames, but I will attempt to answer this question based, not only on linear time, but other considerations. Sometimes, a clue linked to an event can help with a guess about how much time is needed, or the Tarot can give us a suggestion.

The first three cards, which represent the past, are the five of wands, the seven of pentacles, and the five of pentacles. The five of wands tells us about games and trickery. Precious time was lost in reporting Relisha missing, because the perpetrator was playing games with everyone from Relisha's family to her school, and later on, to law enforcement. The seven of pentacles is a situation of carefully waiting for fruit to ripen on a cultivated tree, with tells me that initially, a sincere effort to find Relisha was actually made. It came up empty, as we can see with the five of pentacles. Note that we have two fives here, which can mean five of anything, or the fifth of something........we may have the fifth month, which would be May; or we may have five weeks. The suggestion in the seven of pentacles is that this investigation will take some digging and some legwork before it comes to fruition.

The three cards which represent the the present are Death, reversed; the two of pentacles, reversed; and the Hierophant. When Death appears reversed, we are being told that there is stagnant energy about, as in movement is stalled. The two of cups is a water card; once again, we are reminded that water is part of this entire picture. But as this card falls reversed, there is not only instability in the physical environment, such as rain and varying water levels, but disagreement between the community and investigators about finding Relisha. In the future, the Hierophant foretells some agreement, however. He represents codified conformity and community. Individuals in Relisha's community still feel that authorities have dropped the ball on this situation, though. The reader should note that the numeric value of the Hierophant is also five.

The future of this effort brings us the ten of wands, reversed; the Emperor, and the ace of swords. The ten of wands reversed speaks to the recognition of failed efforts. I say "recognition" because it is followed by the Emperor, who is a decisive male figure with a certain amount of authority. Combined with the Hierophant in the last three cards, he can give searchers a lot of help and direction. The last card is the ace of swords, which augers success, but also tells us that new methods must be employed here. New tools, and possibly an aerial view, either connected to this search; or in some other process, yet yielding clues, nonetheless; will be helpful. But it will happen, and in the meantime, no clue, phone call, message, tip, or sighting should be overlooked or discounted. 

Time constraints and time frames are very hard to deduce from Tarot, but it looks like five is a symbolic number, this time. It could be five weeks or five months, or the first week after the fifth month, or the five could mean something else, entirely. This reading gave us something else, though; it showed a few of the challenges in finding this little girl.

More Questions About Skylar Neese

There have been more questions about Skylar Neese, and I have intended for quite a while to come back to her case if she was not found by now. Skylar was reported missing in early July of this year, and has not been seen since. I will try to focus on what has transpired with Skylar, personally, since July 7, and try to hone in on possible whereabouts. Keep in mind that I cannot get a name or an address from the Tarot, just descriptions.

Focusing on the past for just a moment, I asked about what Skylar did that helped to create the situation in the first place. The three cards I drew are the eight of cups, reversed, the Devil, reversed, and the seven of swords. Reversed, the eight of cups tells of celebrations and parties, but with an element of the spiritual abandoned in favor of physical pleasure. Brought down to earth, I would say this card is telling us that Skylar met someone who wanted to take advantage of her in some way, but did not actually care about her. The Devil reversed is telling us that Skylar was too slow to make an important decision. This is followed by the seven of swords, which speaks of someone attempting to take something that does not belong to him. An unjust advantage was taken of Skylar.

The seven of wands is our first card describing the present. Once again, this card is a caution against indecision. There are also elements of anxiety and embarrassment connected to this card. The Hermit, reversed, appears next. Reversed, he represents immaturity and foolishness. As a person, he would be an older but immature man, probably old enough to be Skylars father, but the proverbial "perpetual peter pan". Our next card is the two of swords, reversed. This is the release of formerly stalemated energies, but not always in the proper direction. I believe something happened to Skylar that involved an immature older man.

The future gave us the two of cups, the Star, reversed, and Justice. The two of cups is a good card to describe a partnership. I sincerely hope that is what it means here. I will have to say, though; that I do not like the Star coming up reversed, as it augers disappointment. For a location, the two of cups would point west. The reversed Star would warn that Skylar "cannot see the stars" from where she is. The Hermit is a north-pointing card, but he is reversed. I still think Skylar is somewhere within an eight to twelve mile radius of where she was last seen. The last card is Justice, and while Justice is a good thing, I am still praying that we find Skylar alive before we get Justice for her.

Morgan Keyanna Martin

Morgan Keyanna Martin is seventeen years old and disappeared from her St. Petersburg, Florida home on July 25. She was about four months pregnant at this time. The question I will put to the Tarot is "what happened, and where is she?"

 

The reading begins with the King of wands, reversed, crossed by the five of wands. Morgan was at odds with a man who, not only was a few years older than she, but who was not willing to yield to her desires. Beneath this, we have another male, the reversed King of Cups. This is a man who is dishonest and double dealing. He may have even pretended to help search for Morgan, all the while knowing exactly where she is. As a circumstance in the past that influences Morgan's disappearance, we have Judgement. This is a life-altering situation that worried someone. The High Priestess appears reversed as a distinct possibility. This means that none of the traditional resources are truly serious about unravelling the mystery of what happened to Morgan. Also,this card does not bode well for finding Morgan safe, but I will still hope for the best. Something that will become apparent in the near future is the Page of Cups, reversed, telling us that someone has already misled authorities deliberately, and time was lost, drastically reducing the chances of finding Morgan.

 

In the place of fears, we have the ten of pentacles. Perhaps a reward for information leading to Morgan, or for finding her? Somehow, it has made an impression on someone. The next card, in the place of environment, is the Hermit. This is a man who is working alone to find Morgan. The reading does not suggest any famillial connection to her. The Sun, or success and light, is in his hopes. And the reading ends with the ace of wands, which is a new direction for the investigation with new leads.

 

As physical places, the Hermit and Judgement allude to places with hills or peaks, with Judgement also looking into water from the peaks. The High Priestess refers to a similar landscape....heavy on the water symbolism. The ace of wands points south, and the Page of Cups points west, but the page is reversed. Possibly "one" or "eleven" to the south or southwest of where she disappeared.

 

Who Has Kyron Blocked And Hidden?

I guess it seems like an obvious question. Kyron Horman, who went missing on June 4, 2010, was the victim of a crime, so of course, the person who committed the crime will make the best attempt he or she can to escape detection. But it seems as if a lot of planning and skill went into this crime, more than what is usually found with a random "stranger abduction". This has also inspired a few people to wonder if some sort of esoteric means has been used to hide Kyron. It is a question that has actually been posed to me quite a few times over the past year and a half. (!!!........Kyron has been missing waaaaaay too long!)

I did a reading to deal with this question. It begins with the Hierophant, reversed, crossed by the three of swords. When the Hierophant falls reversed, he often represents things that occur outside of the norm, and counterculture lifestyles. Elements of this are somehow present in the current situation; as if someone simply refuses to live life the same way everyone else does. This is blanketed by the three of swords, which is a card of strife and infighting. Somehow, these two dynamics have helped to keep Kyron hidden better then any other type of effort. A failure on someone's part to follow directions and an effort to keep sparks of discord going have worked marvelously so far for the perpetrator.

This is founded by the eight of cups. This card usually appears when someone has gotton what he wanted and changed his mind, but since the question deals with ways that Kyron has been blocked from being found, I think this card is telling us that investigators were deliberately sent in the wrong direction in the past and, as a result, found nothing. In the past, we have the Page of Swords, reversed, and this person is a double dealer and a liar who knows what happened to Kyron and has deliberately used communication, either electronic or in person, to pervert justice. The very best thing that can happen is the eight of swords, reversed, which is a release from being trapped. This is also the second eight that has come up; the message here, as it relates to the first eight that reminded us that Kyron has not been found, is that we should not give up. If the best that can happen is for Kyron to be freed, we should certainly keep looking for him. The next card we get is Justice, reversed. This relates directly to the Page of Swords, and the Page is not about to tell the truth or do anything for Kyron.

In the place of feelings and fears, the Emperor has shown up. He is a fatherly figure, and as he is upside right, I am going to assume he has Kyron's best interests at heart and in mind. The environment of this matter gives us the three of pentacles, reversed. Usaully, this card speaks of mediocrity in the workplace, but here, I think it is telling us that someone has capitalized from searchers and investigators failing to ask the right questions. The Emperor is hoping for a day when the tables are turned, as related to us by the Tower, and the lies that keep Kyron trapped come tumbling down. The last card is the Hermit, who is still vested in helping the Emperor. His advice is to keep looking. Never give up. The Hermit is a little like Diogenes, looking for an honest man. He, or she, as the case may be, will not allow the Emperor to stop looking for Kyron until Kyron has been found.

Nothing in this reading tells me of an esoteric block, but I think natural fear and paranoia has generated one. The presence of a reversed Page of Swords does tell me that deliberate attempts have been made by someone other than the perpetrator to keep Kyron well hidden. This person is not schooled in matters occult, however; and is relying on the ability to sow discord and keep key people from trusting each other, rather than any other "powers".

Note: Sometimes fear, and people who are good at scaring others, can almost feel like a psychic "block". I think there is an element of this at work in Kyron's case.

Where Is Ayla Reynolds

I got a request for another reading for Ayla Reynolds. I did one in December of last year. I was sincerely hoping that Ayla would be found by now. After considering the best line of question for the Tarot, I decided to simply ask where Ayla could be found.

This reading begins with the Queen of Wands crossed by the Emperor. I am very inclined to interpret this as being involvement of Ayla's father, (Emperor) and an adult female that is not her mother. Situationally, the background is the Devil, which means bondage and inability to work with a situation. This is what life had become for Ayla, even as a toddler. Also, I think violence has played a role, but I have thought that every since I did the first reading. The next card describing what has passed is the Knight of Wands, which I think is an event, here, rather than a person. I think this card is telling us that Ayla is "gone", as knights often represent coming and going, and the suit of wands is associated with fire, so fire may have played a role in covering the tracks of whoever made Ayla disappear. The two of wands comes up in the place of things that may happen. This is a card of plans and partners, and here, it tells of accomplices.......so at least two people know where Ayla is; one male and one female. Next, comes the nine of swords. This card signifies worry and sleepless nights.

At the bottom of the staff, we have the Star, reversed. Lack of inspiration....lack of honesty. This is followed by the nine of cups, turning up in the place of environment. Ayla's hiding place was hastily chosen, water, single family dwellings, and the number nine play a role or are landmarks, somehow.  The Queen of Swords is another player here, she would seek to control the information and communication. As she comes up reversed, she does not have Ayla's best interest at heart. The reading concludes with the two of pentacles, reversed. This tells me that the Queen of Swords will not have her way, and eventaully, communication and information about Ayla's whereabouts will come to light.

We have three players, here; one male and two female.

Lisa Irwin

Initially, I wasn't going to do a reading about Lisa Irwin. I was honestly hoping that she would be found before I would even have a chance to publish a reading, and returned to her family, to live a long and happy life. Yet it eight days have passed, and this has not happened. Someone challenged me to do a reading for her, so I will attempt it. I will have to say, I do not like the way this reading looks....

This is a past/present/future reading. The first three cards I drew represent the past. It starts with the ten of swords. This tells me that a situation that seemed almost impossible has reached it's end. In this case, stealth was involved more than violence, still; the message is disturbing. It does not bode well for little Lisa. The next card is the five of pentacles, telling of resources or help that were available but not seen or utilized. There was a certain amount of exasperation and desperation on someone's part. (I don't know who the "someone" is at this point....I want to be VERY clear about that) I also see a lack of guidance, followed by misguidance. The next card is the knight of pentacles. He is a young man in his early twenties, quiet, unassuming, and purposeful. His goal here was to help with the situation described by the ten of swords. This is a person who knows more about Lisa's CURRENT whereabouts than anyone else.

The three cards I drew for the present are these: the page of pentacles; this is news of an opportunity that involved finances. It is followed by the eight of swords, reversed. The opportunity was followed by some sort of release from a constricting situation. And this card was followed by the queen of cups, reversed. She is a woman with artistic tendencies, yet also unwilling to make sacrifices. As I do not know her role in Lisa's life, I will reiterate that I am not pointing any fingers at anyone.

For the future, I have Strength, reversed, as the first card. The family and community surrounding Lisa's life has become upset, understandably, and emotionally embroiled in this. There is also a warning attached to this that people searching and sifting through clues have become emotionally exhausted, as well as physically tired, and this is affecting everyone's objectivity, even law enforcement's. The next card is the four of swords, telling me that Lisa will be found one day.Upside right, this card is a card of rest, or of things in "stasis"; but upside down, it tells of renewed activity and motion. The cards are not telling me WHEN Lisa will be found, though. The last card is the King of Wands. This is man with an honest interest in simply finding Lisa, and as fire represents the suit of wands, he brings light and new knowledge to the case and to those who are searching. He is not part of Lisa's family, and is somehow very instumental in finding Lisa.

One more thought: in Taoism, four is a number that represents family. Yet this four of swords is reversed........also; swords are associated with air, the element of communication. I think the break in the case comes from communicating with Lisa's family.

What Will It Take To Straighten Out The Confusion With Kyron Horman's Kidnapping?

In light of the reading I did on September 5, I asked Tarot another question about the Kyron Horman case. I wanted to know how all of this confusion associated with the case can be straightened out, in order to give law enforcement a proper direction to find Kyron.

In a Celtic Cross, we have the seven of wands crossed by the Lovers. Whoever was initially responsible for Kyron's disappearance is faced with a choice, possibly linked to romance, and will favor just keeping the media and others at bay as long as possible. Underneath this, we have the nine of swords, indicating worry. Then, in the recent past, the nine of pentacles reversed appears, telling me that this person's financial security is not strong right now. Moving along to possible choices or outcomes, I have the Chariot. This person would like to find a way to make the two realities, past mistakes and current coverups, work together to create a way to keep evading the truth. But in the near future, the page of pentacles appears, reversed. This could mean that an event out of this person's control is about to happen, involving a child or an adolescent, or a school. It could also mean that this person is not willing, in any way, to cooperate with law enforcement about Kyron.

The staff begins with the four of swords in the place of the emotional and physical state of the situation.......basically, things are "at rest". In the "enivironment" involving other people, we have the five of pentacles reversed. It would appear that the situation has received some new resources from somewhere, or the perpetrator has gotton some sort of charity. Perhaps both. In the place of hopes, we have the nine of cups, reversed. This is a hope for this whole mess to somehow come to an end....not an unpleasent end, but an end. As a final outcome, the four of cups, reversed, shows up. Rightside up, it represents lack of gratitude and appreciation. Upside down, it can mean a new relationship or opportunity, and looking harder at the reversed five of pentacles........that's another interpretation for that card. It's possible that the perpetrator has found a new romantic relationship.

One more interesting note is that three nines came up. I feel that this means that in mind of the person who took Kyron, this is not completely over. But, the reversals of the none of pentacles and the nine of cups indicate that no opportunity will pan out as long as this matter is not resolved.

Kyron is also nine years old today. Happy Birthday, Kyron! Come home!

Difficult Question In The Kyron Horman Case

I asked the Tarot a difficult question concerning Kyron Horman and the efforts to find him. It was basically about why Kyron has not been found yet, and where all of the searches and efforts have gone wrong. This reading is Celtic Cross, and this is what I got:

Basis: Ten of swords, reversed, cross by the Queen of Cups. This is a temporary position of power, gained by chaotic means. The Queen of Cups is the person who would love to just jump in and solve the problem created by all this chaos. Founding this, we get the ten of pentacles. This represents money that was gifted, not earned. Somehow, it is part of this picture. Someone involved in Kyron's life received either an inheritance or a large sum of money as a gift. The King of Cups is the influence fading into the background. The best that can be expected from this part of the situation alone is the Page of Swords, reversed. This is a tip, or testimony, about what is going on. It comes from someone who is not kindly disposed toward those involved, or under some other legally hostile circumstance. The ace of pentacles is what will happen; unlike the ten, the ace represents an opportunity for financial gain, more than an actualized reality of financial gain. But it is reveresed, which tells me that whatever was done was done for nothing.

Staff: In the place of valid concerns surrounding this we have the King of Swords. This represents law enforcement and the court system; so that is still heavily on someone's mind. The going opinion of this matter and the persons involved is the Sun; I think someone has a lot of people fooled concerning his or her (or both?) involvement with Kyron's disappearance. The following card, in the place of hopes, is the four of wands, which tells me that this person is hoping to continue down the same path, never getting found out. The final outcome is the Queen of Swords, reversed. This is typically a woman who has lost a few things dear to her, such as family or children, and reversed, can be quite vindictive. The puzzling thing is that she did not become completely "barren" until after Kyron went missing!  I think the money referred to earlier in the reading may have been, at one point, hers.

The two "tens" in the reading are curious. First of all, the reversed ten of swords.........in this case, this is power gotton by holding an entire situation hostage and doing little else. Then, underneath it, we have the ten of pentacles. I think that's really what this is all about. Some invested an entire inheritance or the sum of a savings account into something, and didn't get the expected return. It looks as if it isn't going to happen, either.

DNA, careful fact finding, and diplomacy will somehow find a way to set this straight. I still have hope that there will be a very happy reunion for Kyron and his family.

The Best Way For Whoever Has Kyron To Return Him

Ok; yesterday, I did a reading discussing who could tell us where Kyron is, and now here is one describing the best way for the person who currently has Kyron to give him back. Kyron Horman was last seen in his Portland school, Skyline Elementary, on June 4, 2010, in the morning before classes began.

This is a Celtic Cross reading, and the first card is the two of swords. This reiterates yesterdays reading, which featured the stalemate of the two of swords as a defensive posture of the perpetrator. It is crossed by the Emporer. From this, I glean that this person is deadlocked into a stalemate over something with Kyron's father. It is founded by the six of pentacles, reversed. This tells me that someone involved either feels they did not get what they earned, or truly didn't. In either case, the situation evolved into this person getting nothing, as shown by the five of pentacles representing the energies slowly passing from the situation. Crowning this, the Tower, reversed, is the best possible outcome. So at this point, no matter what happens, whoever has Kyron should plan on making major lifestyle changes in the future. This is verified by the arrival of the Knight of Wands in the very near future. I think this card has a double meaning: I think a man who really wants to get to the bottom of this and find Kyron is nearby, and I think it represents a change of residence for the person who has Kyron. And possibly for Kyron.

On the staff, the negative feelings of the person who has Kyron was represented by the four of pentacles, reversed. This is a feeling that time and resources have been wasted, and that the whole gesture of taking Kyron was a waste of energy. Following this card, in the place of the person's personal environment, is the three of swords, reversed. Agreements have fallen apart, trust is eroding, and no one really wants to play this game anymore. In the place of the perpetrator's hopes, we get the nine of cups......the perpetrator is comfortable and wants things to remian just as they are. As a final outcome, the Page of Swords comes up. I do not feel that the Page of Swords is the perpetrator, and I do not feel that the perpetrator is going to try to make this right by giving Kyron back to his parents. The suggestion made by the Page of Swords is that there really are no secrets, and this secret will force it's way into the open in a life-altering way.

One possible interpretation of the five of pentacles is a church, and that could provide the means to give Kyron back to his parents. I believe it has been suggested before. The way this card is followed by a knight would warn the perpetrator to just leave, after making sure Kyron found an adult to sit down and talk to. It could work.

Timothy Pitzen

I did a Celtic Cross reading for Timothy Pitzen, asking the question, "Where is Timothy Pitzen?". Here is what I got in answer: The Lovers, reversed, crossed by the seven of cups. This tells me that the mother not only was unstable, but had very likely recently had some romantic hopes dashed. The seven of cups tells me that while the relationship was real enough, her expectations were not. The groundwork for this question was the six of pentacles reversed, and this also speaks to the situation of the mother. She was simply not willing to do her share of the work involved in partnership and family. Sad. As something that recently happened, I have the ace of pentacles reversed, (two reversed pentacles explaining why this happened) and it tells of a material opportunity lost in the mother's life, only this time, it affected the boy. Crowning the situation, I have the queen of wands reversed, and I honestly believe that more more of this is investigated, we will find that the mother was jealous for some reason. The card telling me the immediate reason for her actions is the five of swords, indicating a power struggle and revenge.

For the first card on the staff, we have the World, reversed, indicating that wherever he is, he is worried that he will not be found. The number of this card is 21; I sincerely hope that this does not mean that he will be 21 when found! The next card, home environment, is the nine of cups, which is a good card to have in that position. It means that his surroundings are warm and happy with all that he needs materially. This is followed by the nine of wands, reversed, in the place of Timothy's hopes, and I really think that he is impatient to go back to his home, and familiar surroundings. All of this is controlled by the knight of wands, which tells me that a male between the ages of 22 and 40 is involved, and also that Timothy may be on the move. There is nothing to indicate that he is deceased, although the World reversed does worry me. Please keep Timothy in your prayers.

Kyron Horman

As promised, my reading about Kyron Horman. My exact question was "is Kyron coming back?". I did a very simple layout, just past, present, and future.

For the past, the first card I got was the three of wands, reversed. This tells me that this was definately a planned event, with an intention of deception, including accomplices, probably two or three. The next card is the Knight of Cups. This card fell upright, and I think this is a sensitive male who was involved, but may not have known the criminal intent of the person who planned Kyron's disappearance. He is probably between the ages of 18 and 40..........give or take several years on either side. I am sensing that he is single. This card was followed by the King of Swords, reversed. This is an older, educated male, possibly an attorney, or otherwise invovled in law, who does not have Kyron's best interests at heart.

The present gave me the six of swords as the first card, telling me that wherever Kyron is, he is on the move. That is good; if Kyron is in transit from one place to another, that indicates that he is likely still with us. It was followed by the ace of wands, reversed. This tells of a missed opportunity to locate Kyron, but....but....but; the last card for the present is the Empress reversed. This indicates a woman with "reverse maternal" feelings about Kyron. The combination tells me that the travel indicated in the six of swords was a deliberate move to get Kyron out of sight for the present. This was done over the weekend, just as the year mark approached. So someone is still trying very hard to keep him hidden.

For the future, I have the five of cups as the first card. While a lot has been lost, there could still be a resolution to this, if Kyron is found now. I also see disappointment and a betrayal for the person who stole Kyron. This has not turned out the way she planned it at all. The next card is the Knight of Wands, reversed. What began as fun and games for the kidnapper becomes danger of exposure, as the knight of wands turns on her. He does not have Kyron's best interest at heart either, but is the one who "flips" on everyone else involved. This is followed by the five of wands, reversed. Much was done in a spirit of vengeance, and continues to be cloaked in deceit. Sadly, while I see this resolving, I see it resolving slowly, as layers and layers of trickery fall apart and details get ignored. The good thing is, Kyron is still with us, according to this reading.

Tarot Discussion

Yesterday, on the sad anniverary of Kyron Horman's disappearance, someone asked me to do a Tarot reading about it and publish it online. So I thought about it, and how I would do this, and came up with this blog. I don't have much here, yet; I am planning on including a deck of Tarot cards for everyone to look at, and possibly outlining and explaining some other forms of divination, too. I have never had divination give me a bum steer, but I want to say that it is very important to understand and interpret carefully. Also, there are some things we just shouldn't ask...........and I mostly refer to death here. When doing readings for missing persons, this unfortunately comes up.........but it has been my experience most of the time that inasmuch as the "soul" is concerned, death is just another step in a long process of evolution. Another reason to avoid asking "when someone will die" is that all of us would be "playing for the day of death", and not living life on life's terms, if we had such information. There have only been a very small handful of times that the Tarot has FORETOLD a death in a reading of mine, and each time, it has been a preventable death. Another thing to keep in mind is that Tarot will often describe a future in terms of options and choices, but usually not as if it were "written in stone". This means that many factors influence day to day affairs, and the Tarot is best employed to help one reflect on the best choices, rather than for "telling the future". That said, I really love Tarot!
