💯 Laura Clark Modern Day Medicine Woman🥰

With all these revelations comimg out now about our so called Spiritual Leaders, I’ve been thinking about who we choose to listen to.

It’s so easy now to assume that the biggest platforms hold the deepest wisdom. The polished reels. The huge followings. The teachers with the slick branding and confident voices.

But I’m not sure that’s always where the real work is happening…

Some of the most powerful spiritual teachers I’ve met don’t have large audiences. They’re not chasing algorithms. They’re not building empires. They’re quietly holding circles in village halls. They’re lighting candles before a small meditation group arrives. They’re making tea. They’re listening, properly listening.

They might never call themselves leaders. They might even doubt themselves. They might feel a bit awkward promoting what they do. But they show up. Again and again. With care. I think that is what really matters…

If I’m honest, I’ve never been the loudest voice in the room. I don’t always feel massively confident. I don’t find self-promotion easy. Sometimes I wonder if I should be doing more, saying more, pushing more.

But I know that the women who come to me don’t come for noise and show. They come for steadiness, for warmth and kindness. For someone real who isn’t acting spirituality, just living it quietly.

Maybe we’ve elevated the loudest voices for long enough. Maybe the teacher you need is closer than you think. Maybe she’s just down the road. Maybe she’s been quietly serving her community for years. Maybe she doesn’t look impressive online.

Maybe she simply cares a lot about the work she does and the people she meets. There is something very beautiful and humble about the quiet ones.

I think it’s time we started noticing the quiet ones. Their authenticity. Their integrity. The way they live what they teach.

Not just those who position themselves as leaders.

I don’t actually believe in leading in the way it’s often portrayed. My work is in circles. In spirals.
We sit side by side. We learn from one another.
No one above. No one below.

Just women remembering who they are together. I think that is beautiful.

🌙 🪐 Why Astrology? ⭐️ ☀️

I was thirteen years old and visiting family in Germany. One night, my uncle was hosting a dinner party and had some friends round. I remember sitting outside on the porch with them and hearing one of the friends talking about the signs of the zodiac. I listened intently, hoping one day I would have knowledge on this mysterious subject like she did.

As the years went on, whenever there was a magazine or newspaper on the table, I’d turn right away to the horoscope section near the back.

It was when I was in dance training that I got my first sun signs book and then when I was working as a massage therapist in a spa I got a few more books. We’d be sent down to Dorset to be trained in certain treatments and I recall spending the train journeys from Edinburgh to London pouring over my astrology books.

In 2014 I discovered astrologers on YouTube and that was where I really started to learn. Those first astrologers I would listen to were Pam Gregory, Bracha Goldsmith, Kelley Rosano and Lada Duncheva. This was when I started to understand how the astrological seasons, planetary transits and lunar activity has an impact on both global events and within our own lives.

My first reading was from a woman named Jane Sloane who did a video call with me from Toronto.
A couple of years later I had another chart reading with a lady in Dallas and then most recently in 2021, I had a reading with the incredible Divine Kitten - Spirituality, Astrology, Meditation, Inspiration. I highly recommend Amreen. Her knowledge of astrology and what she offers in her chart readings are unmatched.

As a tarot reader I have found that deepening my knowledge of astrology has been very helpful in reading the cards and also in understanding who I am reading for, especially if I can have their chart to hand.

The very first circles I held were all themed on the moon phase at the time and now there’s always an element of the current astrological season that helps inspire what we do or focus on during the circles.

I find astrology endlessly fascinating. Thankfully my husband laughs when I have to pause every documentary we watch to look up the birth charts of the people in it 🤣. I would be lying if I said it hasn’t become something of an obsession over the years.

The course I’ve spent the last few months creating was originally intended to be part two of the Intuitive tarot course. I wanted to include astrology in that course because as I’ve already said, tarot and astrology go hand in hand. I realised there was no way to keep the astrology section simple and so I ended up scrapping the idea of a part two and just going all in with Astrology. I am simultaneously nervous and also can’t wait to start 🩷🩷🩷

Working on my final bit of preparation for tomorrow nights circle ✨

I just saw this blog on Tarot.

Another good case for not simply memorising card meanings, but allowing your associations with the cards to eb and flow.

Pulling a daily card is very helpful in this process as over time you’ll start to see patterns and form memories and personal connections with the cards… and they may well be out of alignment with what a textbook ‘meaning’ would say.

https://www.sunnysink.com/post/tarot-card-meanings-evolve?fbclid=IwZnRzaAQDwq5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeShtLSALVesv-sszVzSd_kxgvwVOwDhYtzE3lfZx68WAglpjg9w1aUOb4K4A_aem_N0daEip3vszgYGX73JY5Ag

Tarot doesn’t unfold in straight lines. As you grow and gain experience, tarot card meanings evolve, revealing deeper layers through reflection, intuition, and lived practice. But by March? The reading’s tucked away. Forgotten. And the cards? Just a blur of vibes with no anchor.

🌙 Astrology Course 🌙

I’ve been working for months on creating my astrology course.

It will run for 12 consecutive weeks, be held at my home and will be one 2 hour class each week making it 24 hours of learning.

Each student will be supplied with an astrology deck that will be a helpful visual tool and also can become a good supplement to readings for anyone who also likes to work with cards. This will be very helpful if you work with tarot as astrology will deeply enhance how you read the cards. This said, there is absolutely no need at all to be interested in card readings in order to do this course.

By week 12 of this course, students will:

✨ Understand the zodiac wheel and the 6 polarity axes
✨ Read your sun, moon and rising (ascendant) and others’ charts
✨ Interpret planets, houses and aspects with confidence
✨ Use your deck to explore personality, emotions and relationships

We’ll be learning about each sign through its axis as I believe the polarities between the signs can show developmental lessons, relational dynamics and psychological mirrors. This will make this course a great way to reflect upon the dynamics in our day to day lives as well.

Examples of what I mean by axis polarities:

✨Aries/ Libra ✨ Self vs Relationship

✨Taurus/Scorpio ✨Stability vs Transformation

✨Gemini/Sagittarius ✨ Information vs Meaning

✨ Cancer/Capricorn ✨Private vs Public Life

✨ Leo/Aquarius ✨ Self-Expression vs Collective

✨ Virgo/Pisces ✨Control vs Surrender

The course isn’t quite finished. I’ve really packed it with information. I’ll share more on my astrology journey in another post, however I will say it’s been a long standing passion and I find it’s enhanced my life and understanding of myself in ways that cause me to feel passionate about sharing this with others 🩷

Please note this course will be based on Western Astrology.

Also, in order to keep the community/friendly atmosphere which is at the core of what I do, the doors will be open 30 minutes before each class in order to make sure there is time for anyone who wants to chat, relax before the class or compare charts with anyone else. There won’t be much discussion time during the actual class as there is so much to cover ✨

✨I am still offering WhatsApp readings by donation - a few things to note about questions for a reading to help deepen the reading ✨

I only ask for a donation with a WhatsApp reading because the whole experience is less fluid than with an in person, face to face reading.

However, there are a few things to note and this goes for readings in general:

✨ Ask your reader open ended, clear questions. Even better if there is space in the question for self reflection. For example: instead of asking ‘will I get the job?’, you can ask ‘what steps can I take to help myself have a better chance of getting this job?’. Some more examples of helpful questions could be to ask ‘what pattern in me is holding me back from finding the right person for me?’, ‘what am I not seeing about my part in this conflict?’, or ‘what would be a good first step for me to take towards xyz?’.

✨ A reading isn’t a test of whether or not the reader is psychic. It’s a two way conversation, geared towards gaining clarity and opening up to reflecting on our lives. Therefore, you will gain more from the reading if you give the reader detail and information. That allows the reader to ask more specific questions and interpret the cards with more clarity rather than simply get an impression.

✨ Focus on the present and things you have control over in your questions as the future isn’t set and we can’t control others.

Please send a message if you would like a WhatsApp reading. Include specific questions and some background detail for the reasons I explained above. From there, I’ll pull cards, send voice messages and wait for you to listen and ask more questions 🥰

I’ve posted about this topic before however I’d like to say a little more on it.

Yes, I love to use tarot as a tool for self exploration and clarity.
I love astrology. I love energy healing. I love the discoveries science is making when it comes to frequency.

However, I’m not into the ‘love and light’ and ‘everything happens for a reason’ thing and I don’t use new age spirituality as an identity. If you know me in person, you’ll know this.

I always speak about this in the first week of the tarot course: spiritual bypassing and spiritual narcissism is everywhere.

I’ve watched pretty much all the cult documentaries I can find and what the vast majority of cults use to lure people in is spirituality.

I’ve seen influencers during this time telling people not to have emotional responses to what’s been happening in the world… and I want nothing to do with that at all.

To me, as I always say, the spiritual work is about our human lives. It’s the raw, the real. It’s facing the hard stuff as well as enjoying the beauty of life.

And sometimes anger, sadness and a drive to face the dark things in life with clarity is exactly what we need to do.

It’s easy to use spiritual practices to turn a blind eye.

But is it spiritual to close our eyes to suffering? To ignore it because we are told we’re ’feeding’ something if we do?

Perpetual harm operates when it is protected. When people are looking away. When we believe we have no power or even worse, when we won’t look because we think it will lower our vibration.

I think we’re all one. We’re here together. And if groups of people are suffering then we are already all suffering.
