Madame Something the Dust Witch at the 1st Annual Something Strange Circus Sideshow Festival

Madame Something the Dust Witch

On January 23, 2016, the circus came to town!

Madame Something the Dust Witch told fortunes and gave out magic rocks to many people over the festival which was held at the Mod Club on Saturday night and then at Round on Sunday.

The brainchild behind the 1st Annual Something Strange Circus Sideshow is Mysterion the Mindreader. He and J. Thithonus Pednaud hosted an amazing show that featured top notch talent from around the world. There was everything from glass eating, to mentalism, magic, burlesque, and even a live crucifixion.

There were a lot of acts that made me go, "OUCH!"

There were many acts I didn't see as I told people their fortunes.

A vendor's market featured items of unusual and interesting products from vintage clothes, haunted dolls, handmade jewellery, to human skulls.

The 2nd Annual Something Strange Circus Sideshow has already been announced and it's never too early to get tickets. The last one had a sold out house.

Madame Something the Dust Witch will return to tell your fortune at the 2nd Annual Something Strange Circus Sideshow.

Thank you to Mysterion for bringing the sideshow to Toronto and an even bigger thank you for letting Madame Something be a part of it!

Blood Elevator Had No Blood But Perhaps a Skull-Faced Ghost!

In all the running around I did at the Stanley, I only used the elevator once by myself. I'm not sure why. But I did take some pictures as you see. Is that a skull face gawking at me?

Halloween Special: Two Dollar Tarot Reading!

I'm offering an insane Halloween Special!

Tarot for a Toonie!

Yes, that's right!

I'm offering you the chance to ask me a question and I'll answer it within 1 - 24 hours for only TWO dollars!

Just send your question with your Paypal payment and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible!

How Does It Work?
Click the Paypal button.

Enter your question and the email where you want your answer sent when you make your payment.

Let's say you ask me, "Does he like me as much as I like him?"

I will pull the cards and put them into the spread I feel necessary for the question. I will examine the cards and then write you an answer which will be sent to you at your preferred email address.

In the more expensive readings, I tell you the cards I used, the spread I used, where each card lies in the spread, what the spread position means and then I decipher each card and discuss the spread in great detail. The higher priced the reading, the more details I will give you.

However, with Tarot for a Toonie, I perform the same spreads but I only give you a short answer. If you want more clarity about the answer, you can order a ten dollar reading (or more) for more explanation.

What to Expect
Anyone who has ever had a reading from me knows that I'm truthful and blunt. I won't bend the reading to make it sweet to your ears. There's no point in hiding painful truths. You come to me for answers and I'll do my best to provide them.

Like anything in life, sometimes the answers aren't cut and dried, because we are dealing with people and emotions.

Sample Readings:
Question: Does he like me as much as I like him in a romantic fashion?

Tarot for a Toonie Answer: Unfortunately, though he likes you as a person, he doesn't see you in a romantic fashion. There are obstacles, such as a more prominent relationship he's involved in that he's kept hidden from you. Keep grounded and watch for actions not words; he has a gift for telling you what you want to hear but may not have your best interests at heart.

Question: Should I go back to school?

Tarot for a Toonie Answer: The Judgement card indicates that you are second guessing yourself and are worried about what other people think but the King of Swords says to "go for it." You will be able to move into a more financially rewarding career once you are finished.

Question: Am I on the right path?

Tarot for a Toonie Answer: You need to step back and reflect and meditate about your true goals. You've been through some tough times with more to come. Fate has a lot of influence right now so be certain to keep your skills honed, your goals in focus, and be prepared to grab that opportunity when it comes your way. Yes, you are on the right path and the Wheel of Fortune indicates anything can happen so get ready.

Tarot for a Toonie is only available by email.

I never use computer programs for my work.

I always use tarot cards along with crystals, candles, astrology, numerology, and psychometry to arrive at my answers.

I will answer your questions as quickly as I'm able to when they arrive in my in-box depending on where I am and what I'm doing.


Why Am I Offering Such a Crazy Deal?
Tarot for a Toonie is my gift to you for all my wonderful clients who use my services on regular basis and for those of you who have been curious about my services but haven't tried them yet.

I'm available in-person for corporate and private parties year round.

Blessed Samhain to all of you!
