CATNIP MANOR

Q&A with Phebe, of Spirit Ways & Catnip Manor:

1. Tell our readers a bit about who you are and what you do.

My name is Phebe, Lady of Catnip Manor! ...a Sacred and Magical gathering site for Spiritual Seekers of all paths who wish to explore the wisdom of the Tarot. I am an accomplished Reader of the Tarot for over 35 years, as well as the resident Tarot Reader at Spirit Ways Metaphysical Shop on Colfax Avenue since 1999. If you are a student of The Tarot, with a basic foundation in working with the cards, interested in deepening your understanding, I also offer an intensive, one on one course in my method of “Intuitive Tarot”, at Spirit Ways. Because this method becomes a deeply personal, Spiritual journey, private classes afford the serious student a better opportunity to explore the mystical wisdom woven through this powerful tool of guidance and divination. I integrate spiritually channeled guidance and Metaphysical insight with practical advice and the wisdom of experience.

2. What is Spirit Ways store all about?

Spirit Ways celebrated it's 10th Anniversary this month. It is a Metaphysical shop and much more...The owner, Nancy West, has created a Spiritual community environment, offering incense, oils, books, one of the best selections of fairies, Goddess/God sculptures, crystals and stones and other magical gifts, and merchandise and a sanctuary that honors and welcomes all "paths". Spirit Ways sponsors many events including a drum circle the 3rd Saturday of every month, various local fund raisers, and the annual Witches Ball at The Mercury Cafe. Please check out the web site spiritways.org.

3. What is Catnip Manor?

Catnip Manor is my Trade Marked business name, but is on its way to being much more. At Catnip Manor, you have an opportunity to experience a unique and personal Tarot consultation for yourself or your pet (I have been a pet communicator since childhood). Please visit my website catnipmanor.com for more information.

4. Why should someone get a Tarot Card reading?

Are you at a crossroads in your life? Do you have concerns regarding romance and relationships? Are you wondering what lies ahead with career and finances or health issues? Are you exploring your Spiritual Path…..searching for purpose? A Tarot Reading is a powerful visual, Spiritual tool for accessing your higher consciousness. It can reveal self directed messages and possibilities for dealing with life's many issues, as well as confirming your own intuition. I can provide you with accurate tarot card readings channeled through Spirit, and delivered with integrity, compassion and practical wisdom. Neither time nor distance affects the accuracy of the Reading. I will guide you through the interpretations within the Reading, to help you discover your own clarity.

5. What is Wicca?

Wicca, also referred to as "The Craft", is an Earth based "religion" , Pagan in origin, a Spiritual path that honors elements of The Universe, Earth, Air, Fire and Water and the feminine divine...or The Goddess/Gods, known by many names or different versions, . For anyone interested in exploring this path, Two of the best known authors of books on the subject are Scott Cunningham and Silver Ravenwolf. The Law of Wicca is simply "HARM TO NONE".

6. What is it like to be a Pet Communicator?

Pet communication is something everyone with a companion animal experiences when they "talk" with them. Is there any doubt in your mind when your cat is hungry or your dog needs to go out? We all are born with an Intuitive self...the inner knowing or psychic self. I was raised in a family where communicating with our animals was as natural as talking to each other. It never occurred to me that I couldn't. I can understand what they are communicating by simply "listening" with that Intuitive part of my self. I also have found that I can do a Tarot Reading on an issue for a pet, similar to any Reading I would do for a human. This is because the information I seek is from The Divine...or Spirit... so any questions can be addressed to the cards, and the cards pulled offer amazingly accurate guidance. An example would be finding a missing pet, or focusing on an emotional or health issue. Animals are more open to this process, as they are to healing, because they function in the natural world...without the pre conceived human hang ups that hold us back from that part of your self. Spirit Ways is a pet friendly shop, so animal "clients" often bring their people in with them.

7. Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen or felt any on Colfax?

Because East Colfax carries an interesting part of Denver's history there is going to be energy of many people and events. Because of the incredible Spiritual averment (To assert formally as a fact) of Spirit Ways, on a daily basis, the shop is crowded with angelic, fairie, and Spirits. A number of photographs taken during celebrations and other events held there, often reveal mysterious orbs of light or wisps of something there is no "logical" explanation for (we know it's not Swamp Gas!). It is not uncommon to hear movement from somewhere in the shop that has no explanation. Anyone who has ever worked there, even customers, have experience seeing and hearing this phenomena and some of the ladies even have names for some of those manifestations.

8. What is your favorite thing about Colfax Avenue and doing business on Colfax?

As East Colfax re-invents itself, images of shopping cart people, ladies of the night, transients and undesirable or dying businesses is transforming a once blighted area into a neighborhood with a cultural, community environment that welcomes culture. Some of those ghosts may still roam, but are no longer at home there.
