So, we all know what the exciting first stage of a relationship is like. It’s lustful, very lustful, and amid all that, there’s not always a lot of common sense to go with it. Let’s be honest. In those first early weeks, you would never believe that you could ever find fault with this brand new damn-near perfect person. But at some point, if you stay together long enough, reality will rear its ugly head. And to be honest, it doesn’t always take that much time.

There are a few eye-brow raising explanations here for me. For instance, the idea that a twin flame contract comes unexpectedly out-of-the-blue and often happens when each of you are already in established relationships or marriages… hmmm, if someone were to look at this from a scewered perspective, they might see it as an excuse to cheat, or the idea that — “it’s okay to have an affair, this is part of my spiritual growth.” *cough* What do you’all think?
A lot of people mistake lust for love, and a lot of people get so sucked into over-enthusiasm for a brand spankin’ new romantic interest that this enthusiasm becomes manic, and their common sense flies right out the window. Ya, that happens, and it’s never a good thing…
Normally, the only place you would see this reading is in the sidebar at my website The Witch’s Corner, something special for my visitors. But today’s message seems so profound, and it feels like something that needs to be shared on as wide a stage as possible. So here you go…

Deck: Rider Waite version
Cards: The Devil — reversed; 5/swords — reversed; Page/wands
You will be starting this new year off on a very promising positive foot, which is a much needed change for some of you. You’ll find that you have shook off some personal demons that have been plaguing you and causing so much trouble in your life on a variety of levels. You’ve also either come to a truce with a group of people you were in conflict with; or you walked away from the conflict and this is one of the demons you got rid of. For some of you, this might not represent a group of people you were in conflict with, but it may represent a conflict that you were battling within yourself. Either way, it’s gone.
Many of you will find that you’re starting off the new year with a new beginning that includes lots of passion, enthusiasm, and promise. For some of you, this may indicate a new relationship on the horizon, but for others it is showcasing new job and financial opportunities. This card, as do all the Pages, also infers that open, honest, enthusiastic communication will benefit all new endeavors coming up in this new year.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifeline for those in Toxic, Traumatic Relationships!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
Almost universally experienced, toxic relationships resonate with us all. In ‘Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It’s Not You, It’s Me,’ acclaimed author Amythyst Raine diverges from her previous works, and offers readers a shocking glimpse into the entanglements of toxic relationships. With vivid storytelling, she shares a profound journey, providing insights into the complex dynamics of these types of relationships. The book is divided into three sections to guide the reader through this journey:
Part 1: Coffee and Ruminations
In this section, the reader is taken on an intimate exploration of a highly toxic relationship. Within these pages lies a candid narrative of lies, betrayal, and heartbreak. This section offers us a glimpse into the diary of this “madd housewife” who feels like everything she thought she knew about her partner and her relationship is turned upside down and nothing makes any sense. Much like Madd Hatter said in Alice in Wonderland, “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” This is the kind of rabbit hole our titular housewife has fallen into and there is no logic in this land! This section was hard to read and more than once I had to set the book aside and walk away because I was so angered at what her partner said and did to her! Those in similar relationships will find their feelings validated while reading Part 1 and understand they are not crazy, that it is not their fault but rather a flaw in the partner.
Part 2: Things You Should Know
Here, we navigate the complexities that often accompany toxic relationships. From identifying emotional turbulence to understanding when “harmless flirtation” crosses the line into infidelity, and is there even such a thing as harmless flirtation? This section delves into crucial topics, including how to handle a partner still hung up on their ex, how to tell when an emotionally unstable person is lying to you, and the different types of cheaters. This was my favorite section because it not only describes what toxic behavior is and how to identify it but it gives you actual concrete steps you can take or how to act in each situation. This is something I find lacking in a great deal of “self-help” books. Sure, they can point out what to look for but rarely do they tell you what to do when you are in the situation! This is much appreciated!
Part 3: Healing and Rebuilding
As the storm subsides, a new phase begins. In this section of the book, we find guidance on recognizing the right time to step away or if the relationship can be salvaged. Included are insights to help one cope with relationship trauma, surviving recurring bouts of infidelity, establishing boundaries (be it boundaries with a partner’s ex or boundaries after your relationship is over), and a myriad of other insights for healing and growth. The author also lets the reader know that she is not a professional and that this book is not meant to be a substitute for professional help and if one feels in danger one should contact appropriate agencies.
Having read all of Amythyst’s other books I was unsure what to expect with this one as it is so far from her usual subject matter. I am here to say I was not disappointed! This book was just as intriguing as her previous works, perhaps even more so. To me, that is the mark of a truly gifted author when they can write so engagingly on a variety of topics. As I mentioned previously, nearly all of us have been in a toxic relationship at one point or another so I honestly recommend this book to everyone. Even if you have left that toxic partner in the past often the wounds remain. Amethyst offers the medicine to help heal those wounds.

The guy who’s coming forward now, attempting to instigate contact with you, has a lot of issues with self-confidence and self-esteem. This has, undoubtedly, affected his life in a variety of negative ways. You might want to think twice about this Knight of Cups.
Another five-star review for “Chronicles of a Madd Housewife” coming through! And I received my box of author copies, which is always exciting, no matter how many books you’ve published…

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for any woman in a relationship with a man. Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023
What a shame that I didn’t have the advice from this book prior to getting married. No, wait ….. prior to dating! The well laid out categories of cheaters described by this author pretty much cover many of the men that I either dated or married. Had I read of the author’s experiences perhaps I would have been more capable of identifying the behaviors I experienced but did not fully recognize. I fell into the well defined woman’s category of thinking that since I was honest, everyone else was, right?
I could go on and on with examples that I have personally experienced and which resonate with my history, but you would be bored with my descriptions. Just read this book.
Let me say this, again. Just read this book if you are in the market for a new relationship, if you find yourself questioning yourself because of your partner’s behavior, or if you’ve ever had that little tingle that is telling you something is way, way, off, but you just don’t WANT to recognize it.
I recognized the description of myself in this book and also recognized much of my own self-destructive, accommodating behavior. I also found many, many of the people I’ve been involved with. Too bad I didn’t read it much sooner.

I just received the author’s proof copy of my newest book, the book that is a whole new genre for me, and I’m absolutely thrilled. Here’s a sneak peek inside the book, and remember that you can read a limited section at Amazon with their “read sample” feature.
Here’s the table of contents. The first part of this book is a true, very personal, experience that sets the tone for this Madd Housewife and gives you an idea of the issues she’s dealing with. (Names and locations have been changed to protect the privacy of those whose life is laid bare here.)
The second part of the book takes a look at the issues that were being experienced in the first part of the book and how to identify them, because sometimes in the midst of the hubbub you’re not sure what’s happening. And, of course, we examine possible solutions to overcome these nefarious issues.
The third part of the book is everything you should know in the realm of relationships so that you can plot a successful course for your love life and hopefully avoid some of the unfortunate pitfalls that are just laying in wait for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toxic relationships decoded.Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023
Toxic relationships. Everyone has either had one (or more), or they know someone who has. In Chronicles of a Madd Housewife: It’s Not You, It’s Me, celebrated author, Amythyst Raine, takes a departure from her previous writings to give the reader perspective into what it’s like to be caught in a toxic situation. Could this be you? ….or someone you know? How long do you stay? When is it time to leave? If you’re not sure of the answers to these questions, I encourage you to read this book. You’ll find the answers here.

I’m so excited about my new book, it’s a whole new genre for me…
This book is dedicated to everyone who has experienced the insanity of a toxic relationship and have shouted: “I should write a book!”
I have, so I did.
Chronicles of a Madd Housewife takes you on a journey through an individual’s very skewered personal experience in a toxic relationship.
Along the way you will learn how to identify and cope with a myriad of specific issues that arise with this toxic journey.
You will also find advice on what to do once the dust has settled, how to heal and move on, or how to stay and rebuild.

This is an audio version of a written blog post I did back in 2015. Personally, I find it both hilarious and sadly true on many levels. NOTE ~ Trigger Warning: This podcast is filled with SARCASM. If sarcasm is triggering for you, or if you don’t understand or like sarcasm, you will probably not want to listen to this podcast.
This is a requested anonymous reading… If you have any questions or concerns that you would like addressed in a tarot reading, email me at

and there’s a chance that your question(s) will be featured on one of these videos… anonymously, of course!
Thank you for submitting your question! We start off this reading with a focus that is not on relationships but on something that you are working towards; and I do believe your last reading took a turn like this, just the other way around. However, we do bring relationships back into focus and there is a lot that came up for you. I hope that it makes sense and that you can find information and some crumbs of inspiration here to go forward in a positive manner and Be Happy!
Welcome to this general reading. Desert Readings done for this podcast uses a variety of tarot spreads, questions, and methods. If you were second-guessing yourself, if you’re not sure you’re doing the right thing, here’s the confirmation you were looking for.
It appears you jumped into this relationship, or this marriage, without even getting your feet wet. The commitment happened so fast, and so did the dysfunction when it hit. It’s time for some New Dynamics here.
