Omg Tarot! A Podcast About Reading Tarot Cards

A lot of people who sit for readings with me tell me the same thing:
"I've never done this before."
And honestly? Great. I kind of like being somebody's first experience with tarot because I know I'm setting the bar high. I'm making sure their first experience is a great one, even if the message is something that involves the 5 of Pentacles or 3 of Swords (which sometimes, it's the clarity they need!)
Being somebody's first reader is a big job, so I put together this list of my best tips for making sure it's a great experience for your querent and for you. Because really, a tarot reading is a three-way conversation:
Your querent
The cards
You
So it should be a good time for everybody involved.

Numbers are integral to tarot. Literally every card has a number, and each number has a meaning. But it goes deeper than this. In tarot, the numbers on the cards you pull give you their context. A 4 may generally mean stability, but a 4 that follows a 9 tells a very different story than a 4 that follows a 2 or an ace. That's what tarot reader, charm caster and numerologist Dina Berrin and I are getting into here (plus some astrology 😁)

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Niels Vantzuriel, creator of The Arrival Method and co-founder of Adventures in Quiet Places. Through The Arrival Method, Niels and his partner help high-achieving women who are ready to change their lives do just that: change their lives by connecting with Ireland's ancient spiritual landscape. In our interview, we chat The Arrival method, the fae, what's happening on a biochemical level when you undergo a spiritual transition, and of course, how tarot fits into all of that!

What's the most important thing for a tarot reader? Intuition.
Are some people born gifted with intuition and others, not so much? NO.
We are all intuitive. We are all capable of developing intuitive skills. And the tough truth is, we live in a world that actively works against this development, with constant stimulation and lives so tightly scheduled that there's barely a moment to just sit, observe, feel, and be. Maybe that's not true for everybody, but for a lot of us, we're existing in a culture that's actively anti-intuition, even if that wasn't the intended goal.
Or maybe it was. That's a conversation worth having, but it's not happening in this episode. This episode is all about connecting intuitively and bringing it to your tarot practice. Trust your intuition. It's there for a reason. Offloading your intuition is like trying to outsource your hearing or sense of taste. These sense are here to help you perceive the world.

In this episode, we take a little detour from tarot to explore another famous deck: the 52-card deck you play poker, rummy, war and go fish with.
Based on your birthday, you have a birth card, a personality card, and a whole constellation of other cards that, if you learn how to work with their energy, can help you live your best life. I sat down with Alexander and Vikki of The Source cards to discuss the deck's origin, how it correlates with astrology, and how you can find out which cards you've been dealt and how to play them well.
