Bonnie Burns

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and three years ago I received a Rider Waite deck from a close friend that knew I had always believed in Tarot and knew I wanted to read the cards. This deck is, therefore, very important to me. Three years ago was a pivotal turning point in my life where I was about to turn away from other things and learn to live and act through my Tarot and my interest in Numerology - actually learning and taking the time to explore things I had always felt or believed in but had never taken the time for (Runes, I Ching, Pendulums). Since then I have studying Tarot on my own, giving readings to my friends and family. < I have joined Tarot Canada at the suggestion of Guinevra and am very pleased to be a member. Thank you.

I am a Virgo, September 14, 1951, with Moon and Pisces and Cancer Ascendant. My sister, Terri, is an Astrologer and has The Middlearth Wellness Centre in St. Paul, Alberta so she keeps me up to date on my astrology!!! I like the Alida and Los Scarabeo decks the best, i.e. art and colour. I love the Alan Deck shown on the Alida website.

I have two grown daughters, a wonderful son-in-lawa and two precious grandchildren - finally all here in Winnipeg. My parents and two sisters live in Alberta and my brother is in Pickering. I am blessed with a loving family.

I love music - old country (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Wanda Jackson, Stonewall Jackson, Kitty Wells, Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris) and old Rock as well as Billy Idol, George Thorogood, Jerry Lew Lewis and all Blues. I have a little garden which gives me great pleasure.

I like the question "If you could go back in time what one person would you like to meet?" I have a few: Jesus; ancient Greek physicians,Marcus Aurelius, ancient Celtic and Germanic peoples, Alexander of Macedon, D.G. Rosetti, Robbie Burns - the poet, and my ancestors from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Germany. This could be a very long list for me.

The Tarot has become a guide for me and that is how I like to use it for others. From personal experience I know that we can only change ourselves so I try to carry that into my readings - self-knowledge and self-empowerment for the seeker. Of course, I am still a beginner and have much to learn. The wonderful thing about "aging" that compensates for gravity, is that I am learning more and more everyday about the things I love and that fill me with wonder, i.e my little pendulum and the wonders of the world. I now do Reiki and Tea Cup Readings.
