A tarot reading for Worcester media - Worcester Mag

Markus Harrington, who reads tarot at Taproot Books, gives journalists some spiritual insight

Correspondent

From the age of 6, Markus Harrington knew he had gifts. Harrington awakened to his psychic abilities through his connection with nature and his mother, whom he describes as the key component to embracing his inner witch.

“My mother had this little saying: ‘there’s a little witch in every woman,’” said Harrington, a longtime psychic-medium and tarot expert. The term “witch” has long been misconstrued as negative, but according to Harrington, who identifies as a solitary witch, “witch means healer, and it means freedom.”

Harrington has been reading tarot cards at Taproots Bookstore for 25 years, while providing a slew of metaphysical services at his own business, Corvus Oracle in Uxbridge. Harrington is well-versed in tarot, medium work and past-life regressions.

As with the rest of the world, Worcester has experienced a lot of turmoil due to the coronavirus pandemic. Several of the city's beloved businesses have closed, healthcare workers went on strike, and political tension is on the rise, keeping our journalists and news outlets busier than ever.

During an interview, I asked Harrington to pull a three-card spread providing insight for Worcester media. I asked what turn of events local news outlets can expect in the near future, and what topics our journalists should cover to best inform and enlighten our city. Where is room for improvement in Worcester? How can we as messengers help overcome challenges and promote growth within our community?

Card one reveals the past, card two the present, and card three the future. Here’s what he pulled: The Ten of Swords, the Ace of pentacles, and the Knight of Pentacles, reversed.

According to Harrington, “Worcester is a weird situation in terms of the energies there. It has so much going for it, but it just never gels for some reason” These are Harrington's interpretations of the cards:

The first card pulled is the Ten of Swords, which Harrington interprets as “a card of treachery and being stabbed in the back." Harrington said bluntly, “don’t knock people's ideas down before they have the chance to fly, the first card that came down shows there has been a lot of treachery around that.”

“This one I think you’ll like!" says Harrington. "The next card is up-right ace of pentacles, which is monetary gain and abundance. If you can support others more … Worcester should report on the improvement of others' lives, which will be lucrative for (the media's) success and more abundance will come into (reporters') lives. Some people are getting too high-and-mighty, and I think those people will have to stand back to reach the next card.”

“I have Knight of Pentacles, meaning the potential of a new financial situation for Worcester. Knight of Pentacles is an economic advisor, someone who initiates business plans and checks out resources. So, the city needs more human interest stories, number one. More stories about people who came from nothing but found success, too. Because so much news has been so negative, I sense a need for more focus on the people who were resourceful enough to keep their small businesses from crumbling and continue to follow that lead. Financial aspects of the city have to be the focus for a successful transition."
