Beyond the Image and Into the Grimoire with Meg Jones Wall

In this installment, we dive into Meg Jones Wall's creative process and her decision to move beyond the ubiquitous Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Meg reveals how she built a digital tarot grimoire using writing software to track her personal evolution with the cards over many years. She challenges the idea that tarot is an inherent talent for only "special" people, arguing that anyone can access its magic if they are willing to play and trust their own body's response. We explore her book’s unique approach, which ditches card images in favor of astrology, numerology, and sensory experiences.This conversation is a call to stop treating tarot like a dictionary and start treating it like a flexible, living language. Ultimately, Meg invites us to break free from the shoulds of tradition to find a practice that actually resonates with our real lives. This is a public episode.
