🌞🔥 Happy Summer Solstice! Blessed Litha! 🔥🌞

And a very Happy Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads, bonus dads, grandfathers, and father figures out there today!

The Familiar is open Sunday, June 21st from 10am to 6pm, so stop in and soak up some solstice magic while the sun is at the height of its power.

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year and the peak of the Sun's strength. For thousands of years, people have celebrated this turning point as a time of abundance, vitality, illumination, and gratitude. It is a reminder that growth requires both light and shadow, and that every season eventually turns. Today is a day to honor what has flourished, celebrate how far you've come, and set your sights on what still wishes to bloom.

🦊 LAST CHANCE! 🦊

We have ONE Soul Animal Discovery session with Fox remaining today from 2:00pm to 4:30pm, and there are still a few spaces available!

What better way to celebrate the longest day of the year than discovering your soul's primal animal and learning how you fit into the greater ecosystem of nature, spirit, and self?

Whether you're a soaring red tail hawk, a patient black bear, a clever arctic fox, or something far more unexpected, your animal has a story to tell.

We still have a few spaces remaining in our Summer Solstice Soul Animal Discovery Sessions with Fox!

🦌 11:00am – 1:30pm

The Summer Solstice is the height of the sun's power—a time of illumination, growth, and deeper connection to the living world around us.

What better way to celebrate than discovering your soul's primal animal?

Your Soul Animal is more than a symbol. It reflects the instincts, strengths, communication style, and energetic patterns woven into your personal ecosystem. Understanding that connection can deepen your relationship with nature, yourself, and the people around you.

Bring your dad. Bring your partner. Bring your favorite human. Discover why one of you navigates life like a soaring hawk while the other approaches it like a stalking tiger—and how those differences create the ecosystem of your relationships.

✨ Includes 15% off your purchase at The Familiar
✨ $50 Soul Animal Tattoo concession with Betsy Blackheart
✨ Optional 15-minute Tarot or Oracle Reading with Anthony Traversi for only $25

Only a few spaces remain. The animals are waiting.

Tarot is one of the oldest tools for self-discovery — 78 illustrated cards, centuries of layered symbolism, and an infinite capacity to illuminate the paths we walk, the choices we face, and the stories we carry within us.

No prior experience needed. No special gifts required. Just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to look a little closer at the world — and yourself.

Whether you've never held a deck or you've been reading by candlelight for years, The Familiar's Cirrriculum Magicum Series on the Tarot is your invitation to go deeper. This is a space for every kind of seeker: the completely new, the quietly curious, and the experienced reader looking to strengthen their foundation.
Tonight's class opens at the beginning — the history and origins of tarot, tracing its journey from the card game tables of 15th-century Italy through the hands of occultists, mystics, and artists, all the way to the decks we hold today. We'll separate fact from fiction, unpacking the common myths, misconceptions, and modern trends that have grown up around the cards — so you can build your practice on solid ground rather than social media and TikTok. Along the way, you will discover the cards uses for divination, personal development, shadow, spell work and more.

The Familiar’s door is open. An invitation to journey on the Tarot’s magical path…will you step through?
