Welcome to the 2022 Kingston Tarot Lenormand Conference 

It is my pleasure to share with you all that we have planned. I am 
Marilyn Shannon opening the door to you. Come See.
​

This year's theme is Magic, Divination and Me. Every time we pick up a deck of cards be they Tarot, Lenormand or Oracle cards, magic happens doesn't it? Our three speakers are going to show you how to use your preferred deck to set your intention and anchor it, find out what may be blocking you from realizing your intention fully and joyfully and you will seek out an encounter with a tutor who will guide you going forward. We will do this using our cards, layouts and whatever techniques our speakers have to share with us. 

I am really excited about working openly and fully with Magic. I have been divining for years but not really admitting to the magic that happens or that is created. Like many of you I was afraid to speak of magic and embrace it. When I finally realized that magic happens every day in many simple ways the light came on. I am so looking forward to Magic, Divination and Me. This will be an intensely personal time for each of us. And yet when we are brave enough to do this work at conference it is magnified and magnificent. 

What else happens at conference?

We will feed you all weekend and warmly welcome you to our beautiful hotel situated on the shores of Lake Ontario. Sunrise over the Lake is a magical spectacle to behold.

We offer Zoom sessions all year so that you will be ready to roll when you get here. And you will meet people just like you talking cards, magic, divination and how it plays out in life. And of course our fabulous vendors will be offering you all the tools and treasures that you need to do your work and live your life. (Hint bring money or the other type of cards or both)

We have a thriving community in our Facebook group for people attending or interested in attending the KTL Conference. When you register you will receive three cards and a little reading from me to get you in the mood for November 2022. And there are lots more surprises and delights along the way.


Truthfully I am a bit surprised and yet very excited to be doing this conference November 11 to 13, 2022. I thought we were done with conferences after 2019. I just could not let go of the camaraderie, community, friendships, learning and fun that this conference offers all of us. 

People tell me that our conference is magical. It is of course because the people attending bring their own magic to make the whole weekend special. My sons always say to me "Work your magic Mama!" Come, join us and see what magic awaits you in November 2022. Here we go again!

Much love to you
Marilyn Shannon

​Exploring Keys to Unlock the Houses in Lenormand with Rebecca Walker Pickering on Friday afternoon

Picture
Let’s begin our time together focusing on the KEY Lenormand card; one of the more positive cards in the deck. It supports us as the recipients by revealing knowledge and secrets. What insights can the KEY provide for you during this workshop? The KEY can also highlight upcoming events and help make significant decisions when used in combinations with other Lenormand cards. For example, when KEY and HOUSE appear together, it could indicate a significant family matter or literally a key to a new residence. We will examine ways the KEY and other cards can help guide your day and enhance a reading when used together with other cards, charms and crystals. By looking at the Lenormand cards’ symbols on their own and in a variety of spreads and combinations, you will be led to working with Lenormand Houses in the Grand Tableau.

Lots of playing with cards with like-minded folk; what could be better? Please bring a Lenormand deck, a notebook, writing equipment, scissors and potential questions to ask the cards.

​Rebecca (Becki) Walker Pickering is a retired teacher of 33 years. Since retiring, Rebecca continues to plan and deliver lessons within a more spiritual framework. Her energy work originally led to 3 rd Degree Reiki and working with crystals. After attending the Kingston Conference in 2017, she expanded her offerings to include Lenormand and Tarot Card readings, charm casting and a variety of workshops. Rebecca is proud of her own published Lenormand Deck, MAJESTIC, which features Canadiana facts and consolidation suggestions for each card. She welcomes opportunities to share these energy modalities to help guide others on their journey by setting and striving to attain goals they require to reach their own North Star. @northstarheartwork to learn more about some of the services Rebecca offers

As Above, So Below 
Create Your Own Magical Talisman with the Cards as your Guide

​With Lori Lytle on Saturday Morning
Picture
​

Tarot is a spiritual practice, but it has a physical aspect. We work with the cards themselves; we hold them in our hands, we shuffle and lay them out, and yet they carry the intangible energy of the archetypes, the divine, and our own higher selves.
It is a powerful thing to combine intention, spirit and magic into a physical form. If we can create a vivid feeling and image of what we desire on the energetic level, and then lock that image into a tangible object, we create a magical tool, a touchstone that will keep us on track to manifesting our dreams.
This is what a talisman is.

In this workshop, we will:

*Talk talismans. What they are, how they work, and how they have been used from ancient times until today
*Work with specialized Tarot practices and spreads to tap into our source energy and gain laser sharp clarity on what we want to manifest in our lives
*Dive deep into meditation, visualization, affirmation and ritual to create, consecrate and activate our own magical talisman, a piece specially selected for this event
*Learn how to continue to work with our talisman going forward
*Reach our goal or make our dream a reality with the support of our talisman and our cards
  • ​
As part of your conference package you will receive a cleared talisman, a blank slate ready for your magical work. It has been specially chosen for this event, taking into consideration the intention of this gathering, the season, and other energies at play. You will consecrate it during the workshop, and then take it home with you so that you can continue to work with it long after the conference has ended.

Lori Lytle provides mystical yet practical guidance with Tarot as Inner Goddess Tarot in Toronto. She is a solitary witch, a priestess, a diviner, an ordained minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry, and an introverted empath. She has been a featured presenter at international Tarot conferences including the Northwest Tarot Symposium in Portland, the Light & Love Tarot Reading Festival in Montreal, and the World Divination Association’s first virtual online conference.  She was one of the instructors for Ethony’s popular online Tarot Summer School in 2020. Her current work focuses on creating magical talismans with the support of the Tarot, as well as Tarot practices that are designed specifically to feed the sensitive introvert soul.
​
Lori holds two Masters degrees, one in Ancient History/Archaeology and the other in Museum Studies. She taught English in Japan for several years, and planned fundraising and educational events for not for profit cultural organizations. Now, she divides her time between reading and teaching Tarot, and performing hundreds of happy and inclusive wedding ceremonies. She blissfully spends a lot of her time in her golden home office with her cat, Willow. Find out more about Lori and read her blog at innergoddesstarot.com. You can visit Lori at

Identity Magic - The Art of Becoming!
With Andrew McGregor on Saturday Afternoon

Picture

 Magic is often looked at as a way to make something happen in the world. A tool to get us  the better job, to meet the right person, or make money come from out of the air. This approach is rooted in the idea that if we change the world we will get what we want. Don’t get me wrong that is a wonderful way to go when it is possible. However, often we need to make some kind of shift ourselves to capture that blessing. It might be easy to bring more business but do you have the capacity to handle it well? A new love might be called to knock on our door but can we break our bad habit around communication? Often we don’t even really know what we want - why not work on ourselves to bring that knowing to consciousness?
 
All of this falls into what I call identity magic. The art of working magic on ourselves to become the person who has what we want, can handle what we desire, and knows who they are and is clear and articulate about it. Any area of our life can be subject to working on ourselves. In working to grow my business I realized my ability to work with and understand the numbers behind the movement of money was a big problem. Once I realized this I created a series of work to create a new identity where I was competent in the language of accounting. It’s still not my favourite but it is easy and the rewards have become obvious. 
 
Though theoretically we could do this work using any tools I prefer to work with cards, sigils, words, and self portraits. You don’t need to be an artist to make this work. Just willing to draw lines on a paper. Together we’ll explore how to bring about the identity work required to manifest your dreams and desires. We’ll use the cards, a spread I’ll share, some art supplies, and each others support to work some profound and powerful magic. 
 
In this workshop we will:
  • Explore how to find identities that will empower us
  • Learn how to turn our card readings into pathways for that manifestation
  • Create a ceremony based on our work 
  • Make your own personal portable altar to anchor this work in our lives. 
 
Please bring art supplies, a deck you love, notebook, and if you have it an incomplete or damaged deck of cards that could be donated to the crafting table. 
 
Andrew McGregor is the creator of many tarot and oracle decks as well as books on the art of divination and magic. Andrew reads and teaches tarot out of his store The Hermit’s Lamp as well as online, and around the world. His work resides in the place where divination, spirit, magic and science are all one thing. His latest deck comes out of his 18 year journey with the orisha. His much acclaimed podcast explores all of these things with mystics, diviners, and witches from around the globe.

​Shadows & Storytelling: Unlocking Sensuality & the Sacred Imagination to Invoke Your Most Magical Self
with Sasha Graham
 
Stuck in a card rut with your cards? Want to nurture excitement and inspiration in your tarot practice? Ever feel like there is more magic to life and you want to activate it? Dive deep into the recess of untended possibility and creativity in this inspired workshop with Sasha Graham.
 
Shadow work describes the qualities, desires and behaviors we fail to recognize but that thrive deep within us. Storytelling is what we do when reading cards for ourselves and others. We can harness sensuality in our tarot practice to unlock the gates of our sacred imagination. Doing so, we learn to step hand in hand with our authentic, High Priestess self. This creates a life bubbling with enchantment and dripping with magic. In this workshop you will enjoy:
Partner Readings
Guided Meditations
Writing Prompts
Shoulder Shares
Somatic Tarot of the Body Exercises
 
You will need:
Your Favorite Tarot Deck (Dark Wood Tarot by Sasha Graham & Abigail Larson is useful but not required)
Notebook, Writing Materials & Curious Mind

Saturday Night Crystal Ball Magic 

with Marilyn Shannon
Picture


Marilyn loves to work with crystals and crystal spheres. We will be lighting up our meeting room with oh let's say 500 or so little flameless tea lights. 

We will turn the lights way down low.

We may chant a little bit. 

Very little is known about what is going to happen on this Saturday night around 9 pm. You may be too tired to join us. And that is just fine. You may want to come down in your pajamas. That is okay too.

Come settle in with your crystal or crystals and let's see where magic will take us. This isn't so much a class as an experience. We will see won't we?

Residence Inn by Marriott Kingston Water's Edge
​7 Earl St, Kingston Ontario



We are back at the Marriott on Lake Ontario because it is so beautiful and they treat us very well.

The Sun rises over Wolfe Island and the Lake around 7ish. There are walking paths along the Lake too. That is a compass in front of the hotel where we have had some pretty chilly opening ceremonies!

We may move the ceremonies inside. For those brave enough and with a desire to ignite their magic we will light up our sparklers and share our desires with the Lake and the Moon outside. 

You might like to know that each room has a full kitchen! You can cook if you wish. I am not sure if anyone has ever needed to cook a meal at the conference! 

The hotel offers a full breakfast for all over night guests. There is a salt water pool for the brave. 

Room Rates are $179 plus $18 for parking plus taxes. This special rate is available Thursday November 10 to Monday November 14, 2022 . You can book your room right here.

I loved the Kingston Conference so Much! Hear what Karen has to say.

 
I loved the Kingston Conference so much! 
 

1.  The location is amazing, I couldn't get over how nice the rooms are and the view was fabulous. I had a room to myself and it was so spacious and comfortable. Being able to cook some of my meals was a huge cost savings!  And when I didn't feel like cooking, it was so easy to do take out.
 
2. I got to meet people in person I only knew via FB, and I made lots of new friends too. So many fantastic conversations and so many belly laughs!
 

3. I thought the size of the conference was perfect, big enough to have a great mix of people, but not so big you got lost in the crowd. 
 
4.  The speakers were phenomenal, I learned so much and had so much fun in the process.  I was able to read for others, get readings and dig in deeper for myself.
 

5.  The vendors!!!!!   Oh the treasures I found!  I spent way too much and I don't regret any of it!
 
I don't have a lot of photos of the conference, because I was too busy socializing!  I'm attaching a few of my room, and the view from my room, one of Yvonne and I, and one of all of you fabulous speakers.
I am so looking forward to the 2021 conference!
 
All the best,
Karen
And here are Karen's pictures. We are glad that you stayed a few extra days and found the kitchen useful. Now I know someone who cooked!

And Yvonne Breau pictured with Karen adds this

My goodness, where to start!
​
As a new person to the "group", I felt welcomed from the minute I entered the room on the first evening.Meeting new like-minded people was so satisfying and encouraging! Many have become wonderful friends.

The gift bags was such a great idea. It was like a passport to the magic that was about to happen.
The sparklers and the whole circle on the first night, out of this world.
Food was great! Very natural, but very fancy!

The presenters were above and beyond what I expected. I learned so much! Would like more info about charm-casting.

The tables with their wares, well, I did come home with several treasures!
And Marilyn, well all this wouldn't have happened without your fearless "go-get-em" energy!
And the venue, and James Wells, and etc.

I guess I could just say, everything was perfect!

Art & Soul Witch Crafts by Charlene Maracle

Picture
Art & Soul Witch Crafts
As an indigenous person I believe that all items coming
into a home should be Smudged with the smoke
from sage leaves to cleanse.
As a Wiccan eclectic practitioner with over
20 years experience I believe that this should take
place in Sacred Space.
 
If you see something that I’ve created that you like, scoop it up!
No two items are exactly alike because each one is made
painstakingly by hand.  Some materials that I use may
not become available again so my designs are always
evolving and changing, the one constant being the care
that each item is given when it is created.
 
Every single item crafted is cleansed and blessed
specifically for the purpose that it is intended.
Blessed Be,
Charlene Maracle

The unusual, the eclectic, and the beautiful always catch my eye!

​I am an intuitive tarot card reader, jewelry artist/metalsmith, soap maker, and a reiki master. My home in the country north of Kingston is also home to my business and practice. I believe that, in addition to reiki, there are elements of healing in jewelry, soap and tarot, so I have decided to bring my various business streams under one umbrella. Watch out for the launch of Violet Moon in the new year! Until then, you can still find me on Facebook.

My beautiful glycerine gemstone soaps are one-of-a-kind works of art that you might be tempted to display rather than use!

These soaps are all vegetable-based, and they don’t contain any parabens, propylene glycol, or sodium laurel sulphate (SLS).
