About the Journey

About the Journey
Dixie in her happy place.
Dixie in her happy place.

I’ve been called a lot of things—some definitely unsuitable for polite company! At heart, I’m just a loud-mouthed, bright-haired, do-gooding hippie chick from Kansas who taught herself Tarot.

Oh, and an eccentric genius. Can’t forget that part.

It’s been a Hell of a ride since I cracked open my first Tarot deck—half expecting lightning to strike me, half wondering how on Earth I thought wisdom could come from a deck of cards, for God’s sake!

Didn’t take long to realize I had a gift for talking to those funny little cards. Those conversations ultimately opened doors I didn’t even know existed. They showed me divine threads woven into my everyday life—and sparked a drive to help others unlock that same magic.

Every day, I try to welcome magic with the open heart of the Fool. Every day, I want to help you do the same. I can’t imagine a more rewarding mission.

I don’t pretend to know it all—not even close—but I’m a quick study, and I’m always taking notes. A Fool’s Journey is one of my notebooks. I hope you find something useful here. Best wishes on your own path, my fellow Foolish friends.

More About Dixie

Dixie Vogel is an author, coach, ordained minister, and longtime Tarotista—she befriended the cards decades ago. After a long hiatus, she was invited back into the woo-woo world to write what became a popular daily Tarot column for a busy astrology blog. The column’s success, along with a growing private practice, eventually gave rise to A Fool’s Journey.

She studied psychology in college and worked in social services, providing paraprofessional counseling and support for people living with severe mental illness, suicidal crises, domestic violence, and substance abuse recovery.

These days, Dixie enjoys a magical—but blessedly low-drama—life in the Midwest with her husband of many years, “Captain Virgo,” and at least one thoroughly spoiled feline familiar.

Her Leo rising insists she was a cat in a former life. Don’t let that throw you.
