#120: The Language of Tarot

Tarot is a wonderful tool. Like any other tool, it has a language that develops naturally all on its own. In this episode, Rose Red and Jaymi demystify the acronyms and insider knowledge around the language of tarot. We discuss some of our favorite people, structure, and three-letter acronyms, including the famous LWB!
