Tarot for Taurus Season
Taurus season begins around April 19th and carries us through May 20th.We’re moving from the spark of Aries into something slower, steadier, and more rooted. Taurus asks us to build, to tend, and to value what we’re creating—not just externally, but internally too. In this episode, I'll walk you through Taurus season... how it shows up astrologically, how it connects to tarot, and what it invites us to explore in our lives.What I Explore in This EpisodeThe energy of Taurus season and what it represents in the zodiacTaurus associations with tarot: The Hierophant and The EmpressCourt card and minor arcana connections (King of Pentacles 5–7 of Pentacles)Taurus Season: The ZodiacFor me, Taurus season feels like a return to the body. This is the second sign of the zodiac, and where Aries initiates, Taurus maintains.To the earth. To slowness. To ask, what actually matters here?Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. It’s deeply connected to:stabilitycomfortvaluesmoney and possessionsand what we consider meaningful or worth keepingTaurus Season: Major ArcanaIn tarot, Taurus connects most strongly to The Hierophant and The Empress.The Hierophant represents structure, tradition, and spiritual guidance. It’s about the systems we trust, the beliefs we inherit, and the ways we create meaning through ritual and repetition.The Empress, ruled by Venus, brings in the energy of nurturing, beauty, and creation. She reminds me that growth doesn’t come from force—it comes from tending, receiving, and allowing.Together, these two cards feel like:structure + softnessdevotion + pleasurediscipline + careTaurus Season: Court CardsWhen I look at Taurus through the lens of tarot’s court cards, I start with the King of Pentacles. This energy is grounded, reliable, and deeply rooted in the material world. It’s about building something sustainable.As the season progresses, we begin to shift toward the Knight of Swords, hinting at the upcoming transition into Gemini season. So even within Taurus, there’s movement—from grounded embodiment into mental momentum.Taurus Season: Minor ArcanaIn the minor arcana, Taurus aligns with the Five, Six, and Seven of Pentacles.All of these cards revolve around:resourceseffortpatienceand long-term investmentThey ask me to consider:What am I building?What am I investing in?And is it actually aligned with my values?💭 Today's Tarot Pull:For this episode’s pull, I used The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington and got Six of Pentacles (Reversed).This card is all about giving, receiving, and energetic fairness. In the upright, there’s balance, energy flowing both ways. But in reverse, something is off. Reflection PromptsWhere am I over-giving in my life right now?Where am I resisting receiving support or care?What do I actually value and am I honoring that?What would balance look like for me right now?Work With Me!I also share in this episode that I’ve launched a new tarot offering space: 🔮 The Hallowed High PriestessThis is the home for my tarot reading work outside of therapy, and one of my intentions this year is to complete 100 tarot readings.If you’d like to work with me for a reading, I’d love to connect, https://cal.com/camilleasaunders/30-minute-tarot-reading🌙 Support the Podcast 🌙My newsletter (events, musings, life updates)Guest inquiry formPatreon episode blogs (cards, spreads, links, prompts)And if you want to support the show in a tangible way: Patreon members can get stickers, livestream access, polls, and more, including higher-tier perks like a one-time personalized 5-card reading. 💜

Intuition, Queer Joy, & Reclaiming Spiritual Identity with Colette Dalton
In this episode, I’m joined by therapist, healer, and community builder Colette Dalton for a rich, heart-opening conversation on tarot, intuition, queer joy, and what it means to come back to yourself.Together, we explore how tarot can support us in moments of burnout, uncertainty, and transition—and how it can gently guide us back to our own inner wisdom.What We Explore in This EpisodeA shared tarot pull exploring burnout, energy, and new opportunitiesHow we use tarot as a reflective and intuitive toolThe difference between intuition and anxietyQueer identity, joy as resistance, and healing in communityBuilding affirming, magical spaces like the Queer Joy CovenAbout Our Guest: Colette Dalton, LCSWColette Dalton is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and the creator of the Queer Joy Summit and Queer Creativity Summit.As a queer practitioner, Colette is especially passionate about creating affirming, expansive spaces where people can explore identity, healing, and self-expression without pressure to conform. Her work centers on the belief that joy, creativity, and connection are not luxuries—they’re essential parts of the healing process.Through her offerings, Colette invites people to reconnect with themselves, trust their intuition, and move toward lives that feel more aligned, spacious, and fully their own.You can learn more about Colette here:Website: colettedalton.comIG and Threads: @colettedaltonJoin the Queer Joy CovenWork With Me!I’ve launched a new tarot offering space: 🔮 The Hallowed High PriestessThis is the home for my tarot readings, and one of my intentions this year is to complete 100 tarot readings.If you’d like to get a reading, I’d love to connect!🌙 Support the Podcast 🌙My newsletter (events, musings, life updates)Guest inquiry formPatreon episode blogs (cards, spreads, links, prompts)And if you want to support the show in a tangible way: Patreon members can get stickers, livestream access, polls, and more, including higher-tier perks like a one-time personalized 5-card reading. 💜Tarot in the Therapy RoomA big part of our conversation centers around something I know a lot of people struggle with: How do I tell the difference between intuition and anxiety?Intuition tends to feel grounded. It’s often quieter, more embodied, like a steady knowing or a clear nudge.Anxiety, on the other hand, feels fast, spiraling, and overwhelming. It lives more in my head, while intuition feels like it comes from somewhere deeper.From there, we expand into community, identity, and healing.Colette shares about creating the Queer Joy Coven, and we talk about how joy itself can be an act of resistance, especially for queer and marginalized folks.Something that really stays with me from this conversation is the idea that: Joy isn’t separate from healing. It’s part of it. And community—safe, affirming, values-aligned community—is often where that healing becomes possible.Tarot Pull from the EpisodeColette’s Pull for Camille - Page of Swords From Light Seer’s TarotThemes: curiosity, ideas, mental movement, and balancing possibilitiesColette referenced these queer friendly decks:Fifth Spirit Tarot- trans individualTarot for You and MePride Tarot- collaborative deckNuminous TarotCamille’s Pull for Colette - Four of Cups Reversed from The Sasuraibito Tarot This combination feels like an invitation to gently come back to life. To stay open. To stay curious.Themes: re-engagement, emerging from emotional withdrawal, noticing new opportunitiesReflection Prompts:What opportunities might I be overlooking right now?Where am I trying to hold everything together instead of grounding myself?What would it look like to follow curiosity instead of pressure?What small step could help me re-engage today?

April 2026 Month Ahead Tarot Spread
Step into April with intention, reflection, and intuitive clarity. I guide you through a 9-card month-ahead tarot spread, exploring themes of emotional processing, uncertainty, healing, and what it means to move forward when things don’t go as planned. This reading invites us to soften into the unknown and trust the unfolding.What We Explore in This Episode:A 9-card tarot spread for April 2026 (By Incandescent Tarot)Themes of imbalance, emotional processing, and creative uncertaintyThe tension between control and surrenderHealing, release, and what it means to begin againThe Energy of April: Between Balance and DisruptionApril opens with a powerful contrast.We begin with Temperance as the current self—an invitation toward balance, patience, and inner peace. And yet, this grounded energy sits beside The Lovers (reversed) as the theme of the month, pointing to disharmony, misalignment, or breakdowns in connection.Sometimes we seek balance because things feel off.This month may bring moments where things don’t quite click—relationships, decisions, or even your sense of direction. Rather than rushing to fix it, this spread gently encourages you to stay present with the imbalance and let clarity emerge over time.Creative Uncertainty, Emotional Depth, and Letting Go:At the heart of this reading is a deep emotional and creative reckoning.With both the Page of Cups (reversed) and Page of Wands (reversed) appearing, there’s a sense of:creative blockslack of directionor feeling disconnected from your usual sparkThis isn’t failure, but a transition point.You may be moving out of an identity, a long-term goal, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. That in-between space can feel disorienting, especially if you’re used to having a clear path forward.And yet, there is healing here.The Three of Swords (reversed) shows that something is softening. Pain is being processed. Old wounds are beginning to release. At the same time, you’re asked to:Avoid unnecessary conflict (Five of Swords)Feel your emotions fully, even the uncomfortable ones (Ace of Cups reversed)This is a month of emotional honesty. Not perfection. Not clarity. Just truth.Symbolism in the CardsTemperance - Balance, patience, emotional regulationThe Lovers (Reversed) - Misalignment, disharmony, relationship tensionPage of Cups (Reversed) - Creative blocks, emotional immaturity, escapismPage of Wands (Reversed) - Lack of direction, stalled inspirationThree of Swords (Reversed) - Healing, release, emotional recoveryFive of Swords - Conflict, tension, choosing your battles wiselyAce of Cups (Reversed) - Emotional overwhelm, blocked feelings, inner workSeven of Pentacles (Reversed) - Re-evaluation, wasted effort, misaligned prioritiesTen of Swords - Endings, rock bottom, release, transformation💭 Today's Tarot Pull:For this episode’s pull, I used my Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden and got the Queen of Cups (Reversed).The Queen of Cups reversed speaks to emotional insecurity, bottled-up feelings, over-attunement to others, and the exhaustion that can come from carrying too much that does not belong to you. This card is an invitation to come back to yourself.To tend to your own emotional world with care.To notice what is yours and what is not.To let your feelings be real without making them a burden or a performance.Allow yourself to feel what has been pushed down.Reflection questions:What feelings have I been bottling up lately?Where am I taking responsibility for other people’s emotions?What would it look like to honor my emotional truth with compassion?How can I support myself without abandoning my own needs?Ways to Connect & SupportPatreon: For individual readings, and behind-the-scenes peeks, join the Every Day Tarot Patreon familyNewsletter: Get magic straight to your inboxBook a Tarot Reading: Get a 30 minute 5-card tarot reading from me, your Hallowed High Priestess Be a Guest on the Podcast

Tarot for Aries Season
Aries is the beginning of the zodiac year. It carries initiator energy, fiery momentum, boldness, leadership, and the courage to move first. If Pisces season helped us dissolve, dream, grieve, and reflect, Aries season asks us to begin again.Tune in as I talk about the tarot cards connected to Aries season, along with a final oracle pull to help guide us into this new astrological cycle.If you’ve been feeling the urge to act, lead, create, or push forward, this one is for you!What We Explore in This Episode:The astrological themes of Aries seasonWhy Aries is associated with the first house, Mars, and fireThe major arcana cards connected to Aries: The Emperor and The TowerThe court cards and minor arcana associated with Aries seasonWhat it means to move from the watery ending of Pisces into the fiery beginning of AriesWhat Aries Season Means in Tarot & AstrologyAries is the first sign of the zodiac, which makes it the spark, the initiator, and the force that gets things moving. It is associated with:The 1st House - selfhood, physical appearance, first impressions, how we enter the worldMars - energy, drive, action, courage, conflict, progressionFire - passion, vitality, instinct, momentumThe Ram - leadership, boldness, determination, charging forwardAries season in 2026 runs from March 20 through April 19.Major Arcana for Aries SeasonThe Emperor - Aries is associated with The Emperor, the card of leadership, structure, direction, and authority.The Tower - Mars, Aries’ ruling planet, is associated with The Tower.In Aries season, The Tower can remind us that sometimes action begins after collapse. Sometimes the beginning only comes once the old thing has fallen away.Court Card Energy for Aries SeasonQueen of Wands - The first stretch of Aries season carries the energy of the Queen of Wands, which feels very fitting. King of Pentacles - As Aries season moves toward Taurus season, we begin to feel the more grounded influence of the King of Pentacles.Minor Arcana for Pisces SeasonTwo of Wands | 3/20 - 3/30A card of vision, planning, and looking ahead.Three of Wands | 3/31 - 4/10This card expands on that initial vision and asks us to trust what we’re building.Four of Wands | 4/11 - 4/19The final stretch of Aries season is associated with the Four of Wands, which softens the fire slightly and begins to prepare us for Taurus season.Why Aries Season MattersAries season is not subtle. It’s the push to begin. It’s the first breath after winter. It’s the shift from dreaming to doing.If Pisces season was about surrender, intuition, endings, and emotional processing, Aries season asks: Now what are you going to do with all of that?What is ready to be born?What deserves your fire?What are you finally willing to begin?💭 Today's Tarot Pull:For this episode’s pull, I used The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright and got The Guide - Inheritance and Correction.This card speaks to accepting the situation in front of you, even if it isn’t ideal, and doing what needs to be done to move through it with clarity and strength.This felt like such a powerful Aries season message.Sometimes beginning again does not happen from a perfect starting point. Sometimes we begin in the middle of grief, chaos, disappointment, or uncertainty. Aries season reminds us that even then, we can still move. We can still act. We can still choose.Reflection Questions:What situation in my life feels less than ideal right now and how am I relating to it?What would it look like to accept where I am, without giving up on where I’m going?What is being asked of me in this moment—not for the future, just right now?Ways to Connect & SupportPatreon: For behind-the-scenes peeks and more join the Every Day Tarot Patreon familyNewsletter: Get magic straight to your inbox.Book a Tarot Reading: Get a tarot reading from me, your Hallowed High PriestessBe a Guest on the Podcast

Therapy, Tarot, and Trusting Intuition with Christine Kotlarski
In this episode of Everyday Tarot, I’m joined by Christine Kotlarski, a licensed clinical social worker, holistic therapist, Reiki master, and self-described witchy practitioner based on Florida’s Gulf Coast.Christine is a licensed clinical social worker, holistic therapist, Reiki master, and intuitive healer based in Florida. She works with teens and adults across the lifespan, offers gender-affirming care, and brings warmth, grounded-ness, and spiritual openness into her work.You can learn more about Christine here:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInChristine and I explore what happens when therapy and tarot intersect—from using oracle cards in sessions to supporting clients in reconnecting with their intuition. We also talk about the evolving role of spirituality, energy work, and holistic practices within mental health care.What We Explore in This EpisodeHow Christine’s path into therapy evolved through mentorship and intuitionUsing tarot and oracle cards as reflective tools in therapy sessionsWhy intuition and symbolism can support emotional insightThe importance of normalizing conversations about spirituality, sexuality, and identity in therapyWorking with clients through collaboration, co-creation, and intuitive guidanceTarot in the Therapy RoomChristine shares that she began using cards more intentionally with clients after going into private practice. Having more freedom in her work allowed her to trust her instincts and offer tools that might help clients reflect in a different way.Sometimes tarot or oracle cards become:a mirrora validationa new perspectivea way to put language to something that feels hard to nameI really appreciated hearing how she introduces the cards gently, without pressure, and lets clients decide whether they want to engage with them.Because that’s the thing: tarot doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. It can simply be a doorway into deeper reflection.Therapy, Energy, and the Collective MomentBecause of when we recorded this episode, we also talk a little about the energetic intensity of the moment, including the full moon and lunar eclipse energy that was building at the time.Christine and I both reflect on how people are often carrying not only their own personal stress, grief, and overwhelm, but also collective energy. Sometimes what we’re feeling is personal. Sometimes it’s ancestral. Sometimes it’s societal. Sometimes it’s all of those things at once.And in therapy, it can be so helpful to have language for that. Not to explain everything away, but to recognize that we are not isolated beings. We are impacted by systems, by cycles, by relationships, by the world around us.“Normal” Is Not the GoalOne of the parts of this conversation that really stayed with me was Christine sharing the tagline for her therapy practice:“Where normal is not the goal.”We talk about how many clients come into therapy asking, “Is this normal?” And honestly, it makes so much sense. So many of us have been taught that the goal is to be acceptable, manageable, understandable, and easy to explain.Christine’s Tarot Pull for CamilleGolden Orange Dragon from the Dragon OracleThemes:stepping forward on your pathrecognizing your own powerembracing your role as a guide or teacherCamille’s Tarot Pull for ChristineFive of Chilies (Five of Wands) from Desert Illuminations TarotThemes:conflict and tensionlearning when to step backchoosing calm over escalation🔮 The Hallowed High PriestessThis is the home for my tarot reading work outside of therapy, and one of my intentions this year is to complete 100 tarot readings.If you’d like to work with me for a tarot reading book here, I’d love to connect!

Tarot for Pisces Season
In this solo episode, I’m exploring Tarot for Pisces season—the final sign of the zodiac, the last breath of winter, and that liminal moment where everything feels a little more dreamlike, porous, and alive with meaning.What We Explore in This Episode:Why is the Pisces season the most liminal part of the zodiac yearThe tarot archetypes tied to Pisces: The Moon + The Hanged ManPisces court card energy: Knight of Cups and the shift toward Queen of WandsCups-season themes: Eight, Nine, Ten of Cups and what they teach us about emotional endings and renewalHow to move from dreamy, mutable Pisces energy into grounded intention and supportive structureSpring Equinox Mini RetreatBefore we get into the cards, a quick invitation: Izzy (my colleague) and I are hosting a 3-hour online Spring Equinox Mini Retreat.Saturday, March 21 | 12–3 PM Pacific TimeJoin us for a warm, luxurious mini retreat where you can exhale, reflect, and step into the new astrological year with support.What Pisces Season Means in Tarot & AstrologyPisces season (for 2026) runs February 18 – March 20, with Aries season beginning March 21—the Spring Equinox and the energetic “reset” that kicks off the astrological year.Pisces is often called the Visionary. It’s mutable water, ruled by Neptune, and associated with the 12th house—dreams, mysticism, psychic sensitivity, hidden places, deep emotions, and the parts of ourselves we don’t always have language for yet.Major Arcana for Pisces SeasonThe Moon (Pisces)Pisces is traditionally linked with The Moon—a card of intuition, mystery, cycles, emotional truth, and shadow. The Moon reminds us that clarity doesn’t always arrive as a direct answer. Sometimes it arrives as a feeling. A dream. A repeated theme. A body-based “no.” A soft, persistent “yes.”The Hanged Man (Neptune)Since Pisces is ruled by Neptune, we also look to The Hanged Man—a card of surrender, suspension, altered perspective, spiritual downloads, and “pause long enough to let the truth find you.”Court Card Energy for Pisces SeasonKnight of CupsThis is the poetic, romantic, emotionally led part of Pisces season. Think 'following the heart, listening to intuition, letting beauty and meaning guide you. The Knight of Cups can be a messenger from the subconscious: “Let yourself be moved.”Queen of WandsAs we get closer to the Equinox, the energy starts turning: water gives way to fire. The Queen of Wands reminds us that the dream is not enough—you also get to choose, create, and take up space.Minor Arcana for Pisces SeasonPisces season aligns with the emotional arc of the Cups:Eight of Cups (Feb 19-28 | Saturn): leaving what’s emotionally complete, even if it’s familiarNine of Cups (March 1-10 | Jupiter): satisfaction, pleasure, receiving, letting yourself want what you wantTen of Cups (March 11-20 | Mars): emotional fulfillment, connection, shared joy, belonging💭 Today's Tarot Pull:For this episode’s pull, I used The Herb Crafters Tarot:Two of Water - Malo (Marshmallow)A gentle invitation to let love in. To soften what has gone dry from survival. This card speaks to that which renews you instead of consuming you. Pisces season reminder: your softness is not a liability.Six of Air - Cattail This card brings the message, "Question your assumptions and let clarity rise through articulation—especially through writing, reflection, and community processing."The Emperor - Hemlock (Evergreen)Boundaries. Containment. A sturdy frame for what you’re growing. This felt like the perfect bridge into Aries season: Pisces lets us dream, dissolve, and release… and then The Emperor arrives like: “Okay, love. Now build the container that protects your future.”Ways to Connect & Support:Support the podcast for free by listening daily, leaving a review, and subscribing or following in your favorite podcast app.Join my newsletter list!Be a guest on the podcastJoin my Patreon community Book a Tarot Reading!

The practice dates back to the second century, and Jen has brought it into modern life in such a grounded, joyful way.In her individual sessions, she typically works with four cheeses:1. Past2. Present3. Future4. Answers a specific questionJen reads patterns on the cheese the way someone might read tea leaves—foundation lines, journey lines, shapes, clusters, and symbolic imagery that emerges from texture and rind.For our episode, she chose a simplified format: present and future.THE CHEESE READING: PRESENT + FUTUREI chose one square piece of cheese for my present and one curved piece for my future. Here’s what came through.Present Cheese Themes* Strong foundation: inner strength, stability, wisdom* Second-guessing: a moment where Camille may be overthinking something important* A “stethoscope” symbol: a prompt to pay attention to health signals (Jen emphasizes this doesn’t look catastrophic—more like “don’t ignore your body”)* Growth + companionship: a flower-like pattern suggests love, happiness, supportive connection* A scorpion-like shape: a reminder that overthinking can sting you from the inside outFuture Cheese Themes* Even stronger stability: a thicker, deeper foundation line suggests confidence growing over time* Learning lines: waves of incoming knowledge, new information, mental expansion* A small remaining pocket of doubt: not as strong as before, progress is happening* Transformation symbol: a butterfly/kite-like shape suggests growth through new learning* A specific guidance note: “Go into the city for a weekend.”💭 LIVE TAROT EXCHANGE: Jen’s favorite deck is the Garbage Pail Kids Tarot. It's colorful, disgusting, blunt, and (according to Jen) incredibly accurate and very rude.Jen’s pull for Camille (Garbage Pail Kids Tarot)Wheel of Fortune (“Twist of Fate Kate”) - change, pivot points, fate’s spin, and the reminder that not everything can be controlled… but you can choose how you meet it.Camille’s pull for Jen (Herb Crafters Tarot)Curandera of Fire (Damiana) - self-love, sensuality, pleasure, desire, creative vitality, and honoring the erotic divine as sacred fuel.WHERE TO FIND JENNIFER BILLOCKIf you want to connect with Jen, explore Tyromancy, or book a cheese reading, you can find her in these places:* Substack: Kitchen Witch * Instagram / TikTok: @kitchenwitchjb* Upcoming book: Tyromancy-focused, releasing 2027* Past Book Published: The Retrograde Guidebook* And yes, she’s currently doing seasonal astrology fortunes paired with cheese via a snack brand collaboration (because of course she is!)🌙 Support the Podcast 🌙 Be part of the community:My newsletter (events, musings, life updates)Guest inquiry formPatreon episode blogs (cards, spreads, links, prompts)

March Month Ahead Tarot Spread
Hello, friends, and welcome back to Everyday Tarot, your deep dive into the divine wisdom of the tarot. I’m your host Camille A. Saunders—healer, intuitive tarot reader, and professional witch—and this week, I’m sharing a Month Ahead spread for March 2026.What We Explore in This Episode:A Month Ahead spread for March 2026 The main developmental theme shaping the monthThe best mental/emotional attitude to cultivateAction advice for moving through March with confidenceThe Spread I Used: Month Ahead Spread by Angelorum TarotThis spread is from Angelorum Tarot, and the format is intentionally structured: we pull one Major Arcana, one Court card, and one Minor Arcana—not by separating the deck, but by flipping through the cards until each type appears. It's a simple, versatile spread you can reuse at the start of any month when you want clarity, direction, and a little energetic anchoring.Card 1 - Major Arcana Main developmental theme for the month aheadCard 2 - Court CardBest mental attitude to cultivateCard 3 - Minor ArcanaAction advice for the month aheadI used the Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, and then I pulled a clarifier from Anima Mundi Tarot by Megan Wyreweden.From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, I pulled The Emperor, Queen of Jugs, and Three of Chilies.Card 1: Major Arcana | The Emperor - Main Developmental ThemeMarch’s big theme is structure, leadership, focus, and follow-through. It’s not about controlling everything, it’s about creating a strong enough foundation that your plans can actually hold weight.This card asks: "Where are you being called to get more organized? More strategic? More committed to what you’re building?"Keywords: leadership, boundaries, stability, strategy, grounded powerCard 2: Court Card | Queen of Jugs (Queen of Cups) - Best Mental Attitude to CultivateFor the mindset of March, I pulled Queen of Jugs (this deck’s version of the Queen of Cups), and she came through as a clear message:"Trust your intuition. Trust your emotional maturity. You don’t have to force anything into being. You can stay grounded in your body and lead with your heart at the same time."This card means quiet confidence, the kind that doesn’t need to prove itself, because it already knows.In the deck, she’s inspired by Annie Oakley, and I love that symbolism here, because March isn’t just about having a plan (Emperor)… It’s also about believing you can hit the target.Keywords: intuition, emotional steadiness, inner wisdom, grounded confidence, heart-led clarityCard 3: Minor Arcana | Three of Chilies (Three of Wands) - Action AdviceFor action, I pulled the Three of Chilies, this deck’s version of the Three of Wands. This is movement energy, the moment where you stop preparing forever and begin stepping through the doorway.The message here is: Plan for the future, then go… not with perfect certainty, but with a grounded start and an open mind.This card can also literally point to travel, or expanding your world in a way that gives you perspective and momentum.The Big Takeaway for MarchMarch is giving: structured confidence + intuitive leadership + bold forward movement. You’re not being asked to “figure it all out.” You’re being asked to build the container, trust your inner knowing, and then take the next brave step through the archway.Clarifier Card:From Anima Mundi Tarot Deck , the Knight of Wands.This card is momentum, passion, courage, and forward motion. It's very “spring has arrived, and I’m ready,” but with the gentle caution to avoid acting too impulsively.🌙 Support the Podcast 🌙 You can also find:My newsletter (events, musings, life updates)Guest inquiry formPatreon episode blogs (cards, spreads, links, prompts)And if you want to support the show in a tangible way: Patreon members can get stickers, livestream access, polls, and more, including higher-tier perks like a one-time personalized 5-card reading. 💜

Tarot & Lilith
Tarot & Lilith: Reclaiming The Devil, Desire, and Divine AutonomyCertain figures in mythology have been flattened into caricatures, and Lilith is one of them. Depending on who you ask, she is a demon, a seductress, a destroyer of infants, a night spirit, the first wife of Adam, or the embodiment of forbidden sexuality. But when you look deeper, when you peel back layers of patriarchal storytelling, Lilith becomes something else entirely—what emerges is not a villain, but divine autonomy.In this exploration of Tarot and Lilith, I want to look at her through the lens of The Devil card, especially as she appears in The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu. I also draw from The Woman’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker.What We Explore in This Episode:Lilith as depicted in The Devil card in The Goddess of Love Tarot DeckHistorical and mythological references to LilithThe demonization of feminine autonomy in patriarchal traditionsThe erotic divine feminine as creative, sovereign powerLilith in The Devil CardIn The Goddess of Love Tarot, The Devil depicts Lilith with red wings, a serpent coiling around her body, a pentagram framing her presence, and blood drops falling from her wings. Her face is partially obscured by the snake—a powerful symbol of knowledge, temptation, and rebirth.The Devil in tarot is often misunderstood. We are taught to see it as addiction, bondage, manipulation, or sin. And yes, those themes can appear, but at its core, The Devil asks:What are you attached to?Who benefits from your fear?What power have you handed away?When Lilith inhabits The Devil archetype, the card shifts. It becomes less about shame and more about sovereignty.The Demonization of AutonomyAcross myth and religious history, powerful women are often reframed as dangerous. Erotic women are labeled corrupting. Independent women are labeled chaotic. Creative women are labeled threatening.Lilith becomes the archetype of what happens when a woman refuses control: mLilith did not submit, and that refusal disrupted hierarchy.The Devil card asks us to look at where we have internalized similar narratives. Where have we been told our desire is dangerous? Where have we been taught that autonomy is selfish? Where has erotic energy been severed from sacredness?The Erotic Divine FeminineErotic energy is not just sexual expression; it is a creative force. It is the energy that births ideas, art, identity, resistance, and transformation. It is the life force that says, “I exist fully and on my own terms.”In this light, The Devil is not merely temptation, but also a mirror that reveals where we have bound ourselves to expectations that are not ours. To worship at Lilith’s altar is to worship the totality of the self, your shadows included.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck, I pulled The Star.The Star reminds us that autonomy does not isolate us. It connects us to a larger field of possibility. Hope is not naïve, it's radical. And sometimes, the most rebellious thing we can do is believe in our own light.Reflective prompts on this card:Where have I internalized fear about my own desire or autonomy?What part of myself was labeled “too much” or “too dangerous”?What expectations am I still living under that no longer serve me?What would it look like to build my life from self-trust instead of shame?What would I ask for if I truly believed the answer could be yes?Ways to Connect & SupportIf you enjoy spending this time with me, one of the most supportive things you can do is to listen regularly, leave a review, and subscribe or follow in your favorite podcast app.Join my newsletter for extra reflections, updates, and tarot magic.If you’d like to share your story or perspective, I’d love to welcome you as a guest on the podcast.For deeper support and bonus content, you can join the Everyday Tarot family on Patreon.

Aquarius Season & Tarot
Aquarius season follows Capricorn’s discipline and structure. Where Capricorn asks us to commit and build, Aquarius asks deeper questions: What world are you building? Why? Who does it serve? This season invites bold imagination, courageous questioning, and collective thinking.In this episode, we explore Aquarius through tarot and astrology, focusing on The Star, The Fool, the King of Swords, the Knight of Cups, and the Swords cards linked to this point in the Wheel of the Year.What We Explore:• Aquarius as the 11th House — social causes, long-term vision, collective care• The Star and The Fool as Aquarian archetypes• The Five, Six, and Seven of Swords in Aquarius season• Revolution, rebellion, and discernment in communityAquarius, symbolized by the Water Bearer, is actually an air sign. Its energy centers on intellect, ideas, innovation, and future-focused thinking. As a fixed air sign associated with the 11th House and ruled by Uranus, Aquarius carries themes of disruption, rebellion, and visionary change.Aquarian energy often asks us to zoom out beyond the personal:What do we want together?What systems are shaping our lives?What future are we participating in?In tarot, Aquarius corresponds with The Star — the card of hope, renewal, and faith in a brighter future. Even in uncertainty or exhaustion, The Star reminds us that healing and guidance remain available.Aquarius’ modern ruler, Uranus, aligns with The Fool in tarot. The Fool represents radical beginnings, leaps of faith, and the courage to step into the unknown. Together, The Star and The Fool reflect quintessential Aquarius energy: hope + action, vision + disruption.We also explore the balance between mind and heart through the King of Swords and Knight of Cups. The King of Swords embodies clarity, logic, and principled leadership, while the Knight of Cups carries imagination, intuition, and emotional vision. When paired, they highlight the integration of intellect and feeling.Aquarius season also connects to three Swords cards:Five of Swords (Venus in Aquarius | Jan 20–29)Conflict, ideology, and the cost of “winning.”Reflection: Is my approach aligned with my values?Six of Swords (Mercury in Aquarius | Jan 30–Feb 8)Transition, mental shifts, moving toward calmer waters.Reflection: What am I ready to move on from?Seven of Swords (Moon in Aquarius | Feb 9–18)Strategy, hidden motives, discernment.Reflection: What isn’t adding up?Together, these cards reveal Aquarius’ dual nature: visionary yet analytical, rebellious yet thoughtful.Today’s Tarot Pull:From the Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark, illustrated by Sharon McLeod:Vör | Perfo Merkstave — Secrets, Hidden Truths, Risks (Upright)This oracle reminds us that while Aquarius inspires revolution, discernment is essential. Not every call to action is aligned. Awareness, boundaries, and intuition are part of liberation.Reflective prompts:• What future am I helping create?• Where do I need clearer boundaries?• Am I fighting for justice or for victory?• What systems do I want to dismantle or rebuild?• Where is my intuition guiding me?Ways to Connect & Support:If you enjoy spending this time with me, one of the most supportive things you can do — completely free — is to listen regularly, leave a review, and subscribe or follow in your favorite podcast app.You can also join my newsletter for extra reflections, updates, and tarot magic.And if you’d like to share your story or perspective, I’d love to welcome you as a guest on the podcast.For deeper support and bonus content, you can join the Everyday Tarot family on Patreon.

Guest Interview with Wren Morrow
Welcome to Everyday Tarot, your deep dive into the divine wisdom of the tarot. I’m your host, Camille A. Saunders—healer, tarot reader, and professional witch.In this episode, I’m joined by Wren Morrow, an outdoor boudoir and erotic adventure photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. Ren guides individuals and couples through deeply embodied experiences in wild places, creating containers where people can soften, bloom, and reconnect with their bodies.Note: A major thread of this episode centers on boundaries💜What We Explore in This Episode:Anxious attachment, inner child work, and self-abandonmentBoundaries as enforcement vs. boundaries as containersConflict, fawning, avoidance, and emotional regulationPurity culture, deconstruction, and rediscovering spiritualityPhotography as ritual, portal, and embodied magicAbout Our Guest: Wren Morrow is an outdoor boudoir and erotic adventure photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. Her work centers embodiment, consent, and mythic self-expression. 🔗 Website: wrenmorrow.com📷 Instagram: @wrenmorrowWren describes her outdoor sessions as embodied adventures that bridge fantasy and reality. Nature becomes a collaborator, and the body becomes the bridge.She asks clients questions like:If you were a goddess, what would you be the goddess of?What element feels most alive to you?What energy would enter a room when you do?She describes her creative energy as bloom-bringing. Helping people feel luminous. Leaving “fairy dust” in her wake through small, sparkling moments of connection.Opening the Conversation with TarotWe begin by pulling cards from the Goddess of Love Tarot, allowing the cards to set the tone for the discussion.Wren’s CardSeven of Cups (Reversed) - Associated with Venus in Scorpio, this card speaks to fantasy, limerence, and emotional projection. In reverse, it invites clarity, stepping out of illusion and into grounded awareness.Key themes:Recognizing when compassion becomes self-erasureFantasy as both a gift and coping mechanismChoosing clarity over illusionRedirecting imaginative energy into art instead of attachmentReflection prompts:Where am I getting lost in fantasy instead of reality?What would it look like to choose myself first?How can I channel imagination into creativity rather than attachment?Camille’s CardThe Sun (Reversed) - Pulled during the Pacific Northwest winter, this card mirrors the season perfectly. In reverse, The Sun reminds us that light still exists even when it’s obscured.Key themes:Wonder and play as healing practicesTrusting that light remains even in darker seasonsAllowing rest instead of forcing productivityReconnecting to childlike softnessReflection prompts:Where am I being asked to rest instead of push?How can I invite wonder and play back into my life?Attachment, Boundaries & Self-AbandonmentWren reflects on realizing that avoiding conflict can be a form of self-abandonment. Exploding later is often the result of not enforcing boundaries earlier. Together, they explore anxious and avoidant attachment dynamics, fawning responses, and how we often oscillate between over-accommodation and rigidity.In her photography work, she holds energetic and physical space so clients can soften, unravel, and confront insecurities without cruelty.Spirituality, Deconstruction & Returning to the MysticalWren shares about growing up in purity culture and charismatic Christianity, including deeply embodied spiritual experiences. Tarot became a bridge back to spirituality, not as dogma, but as dialogue.For her, tarot helps explore humility, advocacy, and relating to the Divine as a collaborative rather than authoritarian figure.Ways to Connect & SupportPatreon: For individual readings, and behind-the-scenes peeks, join the Every Day Tarot Patreon family.Newsletter: Get magic straight to your inbox.Join me at our Spring Equinox Online Mini-Retreat!

Self-Love Tarot Spread
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a self-love tarot spread to help you begin February with more tenderness, more truth, and more permission to be exactly where you are.What We Explore in This Episode:A self-love tarot spread you can repeat anytime, especially in FebruaryHow transformation can be a doorway for more loveCompassion as emotional honesty (not fantasy or self-betrayal)Pleasure, desire, and the sacredness of erotic energyTrusting your magic in the material world (money, support, stability, worth)The Self-Love Tarot SpreadThis spread comes from an article on HighTimes.com by Gabriela Herstik (published February 6, 2020) called “The High Priestess: Creating a Self Love Ritual for Valentine’s Day and Beyond.” The article includes a full ritual experience (including optional cannabis), plus journaling prompts, movement, baths, candles, and other ways to build a whole self-love container. In this episode, we focus on the tarot portion and treat it like a month-ahead self-love check-in for February.I used a four-card layout (two cards on top, two on bottom):Where can I welcome more love into my life?How can I be more compassionate to myself?How can I embrace my erotic nature and sexuality more?How can I further embrace my magic?For the spread, I’m using The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck. This deck is a devotional, erotic, divine-feminine portal in card form, and it feels perfect for February.Return to this spread anytime you need grounding, reassurance, or a reminder that you’re allowed to grow gently.The Cards PulledCard 1: Where can I welcome more love into my life?Death (Kali / Chinnamasta)Self-love takeaway:Let something complete.Bless the ending instead of resisting it.Welcome love by allowing a new chapter to actually begin.Card 2 - How can I be more compassionate to myself?Crone of Cups (Reversed)Self-love takeaway:Listen to what your heart is actually saying.Release the “it should be different by now” narrative.Choose honesty over self-betrayal.If your inner knowing is waving a flag, trust it.Card 3 - How can I embrace my erotic nature and sexuality more?Witch of Cups (Upright)Self-love takeaway:Lean into what turns you on and what softens you open.Pleasure is a spiritual practice, not something to earn.Let sensuality be playful, not performative.Ideas for February: A bath, a massage, a slow skincare ritual, perfume, a cozy robe, a romantic playlist, a “take yourself on a date” night, anything that helps you feel safely inside your body.Card 4 - How can I further embrace my magic?Four of Pentacles (Upright)This card connects magic to the material world. It points to the way the nervous system tightens when we fear there isn’t enough: love, money, safety, beauty, time, support.Before expansion, the subconscious often contracts.Self-love takeaway:Your magic grows when you practice trust, even in small ways.Make room for the upgrade.Turn the mundane into ritual (lighting a candle, intentional mornings, devotional routines).Believe before you have proof.Journal prompt: How am I being asked to trust that I’m supported by the universe in my evolution?💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Desert Illuminations Tarot , I pulled the Eight of Daggers (Upright).This card reinforces the message of the spread: you are not as trapped as the story says. The way forward may not be obvious, but agency returns the moment you question the narrative that you’re powerless.Reflective prompts on this card:Where do I believe I’m stuck, and what evidence actually supports that?What small action would help me reclaim agency right now?If I trusted myself more, what choice would I make next?What belief is keeping me tied to the tracks?Ways to Connect & SupportPatreon: For individual readings, and behind-the-scenes peeks, join the Every Day Tarot Patreon family.Newsletter: Get magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on the Podcast

Wheel of the Year Spread
Today, I’m walking you through a Wheel of the Year spread from The Herb Crafters Tarot. This is a nine-card, year-ahead style spread that mirrors the turning of the seasons and helps you tune into the key energy of each sabbat.What We Explore in This Episode:What a Wheel of the Year spread is and when to use itHow this spread maps onto the Pagan seasonal cycleHow to read seasonal “themes” instead of treating the year like one single fixed forecastWalking the Wheel: A Year Ahead with the Herb Crafters TarotLately, I’ve been craving a way to look at the year that doesn’t feel rigid, rushed, or overly predictive. Instead of asking, “What’s going to happen?” I wanted to ask, “What kind of energy am I moving with, season by season?”Note: All cards for the seasonal positions are from The Herb Crafters Tarot.1. Yule | Winter Solstice - The Hanged One (Burdock)Burdock is a deep-root plant, often found where the soil is depleted. It doesn’t rush. It goes down first, drawing nourishment from places that look barren.This card reminded me that winter isn’t about fixing or forcing. It’s about letting go of control and allowing slow change to do its work. 2. Imbolc | Candlemas - Hija of Fire (California Poppy)The Hija of Fire, associated with California poppy, carries beginner energy. It’s playful, eager, and creative without needing permission.This card felt like a reminder that inspiration doesn’t need to be heavy or productive to be meaningful. 3. Ostara | Spring Equinox - The Hermit (Usnea), ReversedTraditionally, the Hermit is about sacred solitude, but in reverse—especially at spring—it felt like emergence.This wasn’t a rejection of introspection, but a soft transition outward. 4. Beltane | May Day - Three of Earth (Raspberry), ReversedRaspberry speaks to sweetness, collaboration, and abundance. In reverse, it felt like a question of capacity.As the world gets warmer, more invitations appear. More plans, more ideas, more people. 5. Litha | Summer Solstice - Eight of Earth (Turmeric), ReversedTurmeric is a powerful, golden medicine associated with devotion, tradition, and long-term vitality.In reverse, the message felt like a caution: effort without care becomes depletion. 6. Lughnasadh | Lammas - Nine of Earth (Apple), ReversedApples are deeply tied to sustainability. When stored properly, they last well into winter. They teach long-term thinking.In reverse, this card felt like a reminder to check reciprocity. 7. Mabon | Autumn Equinox - Five of Fire (Black Cohosh)Black cohosh is associated with deep bodily release and powerful change.This felt aligned with the season of recalibration. This card reminded me that flexibility and strength can coexist, and that transformation often requires active participation.8. Samhain | Hallows - The Moon (Datura), ReversedThe Moon speaks to intuition, symbolism, and the unseen. Datura is potent and requires deep respect.At Samhain, I’m invited to approach mystery slowly, with humility and discernment, and to listen without demanding answers.9. Center Card - Ten of Fire (Comfrey)Prompt: What will keep me centered in the midst of change?Comfrey regenerates quickly after being cut back, but only if it’s allowed to rest. This card reminded me that pruning is not failure. It’s how sustainability happens.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Numerology Oracle, I pulled the Three - (Creativity).This card reminded me that creativity and hope can be forms of care. Sometimes we are being asked to be the optimist, to offer comfort, and to help someone feel less alone. If the “happy energy” isn’t arriving on its own, this is a nudge to create it gently and intentionally.Ways to Connect & Support:If you love the show, the best way to support it for free is by listening daily, leaving a review, and subscribing or following in your favorite podcast app.Join my newsletter list!Be a guest on the podcastYou can find the links for any of these offers newly on Patreon

Capricorn and Tarot
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot, where we explore how tarot can support your real, everyday life!In today’s episode, I’m talking about Tarot and Capricorn as we wrap up Capricorn season and reflect on what this energy can teach us about structure, ambition, boundaries, and the material world.What We Explore in This Episode:Why I’m talking about Capricorn right now (Capricorn season timing + the “New Year energy” overlap)Capricorn’s astrological associations (10th house, Saturn, work/rewards)Capricorn’s Major Arcana correspondences (The Devil + The World)Minor Arcana timing within Capricorn season (Pentacles progression)Capricorn Season: Structure, Limits, and What We’re Building:Capricorn season usually begins around the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It arrives at a liminal moment, when the calendar asks us to look forward while the body and the land are still deep in winter.In this episode, I reflect on Capricorn season as a container for three overlapping themes:Goal-setting and “New Year” momentumEnergy limits (winter as a season of boundaries)Career and identity reflection: what we’re building, and whyCapricorn season often carries a quiet tension. Culturally, we’re encouraged to set resolutions, push ahead, and reinvent ourselves. Seasonally, winter asks us to slow down, conserve energy, and work with realism instead of urgency. Capricorn sits right at that crossroad.At its core, Capricorn is associated with the structures that shape our public and professional lives. In this episode, I name Capricorn’s key astrological correspondences. Tarot Correspondences for Capricorn:Capricorn season also has rich connections within the tarot, particularly through the Major Arcana.The Devil (Capricorn)The Devil is the Major Arcana card most closely associated with Capricorn. In tarot, The Devil often speaks to:Temptation, attachment, and desirePower dynamics and controlThe material world (money, comfort, status, and security)The question of whether something liberates us or quietly enslaves usSeen through a Capricorn lens, The Devil becomes a mirror rather than a warning. It asks honest questions:What are we building toward?What are we attached to, and why?Where does ambition turn into a chain instead of a support?The World (Saturn)Saturn is linked with The World, one of my favorite tarot pairings to contemplate during winter. The World points to:Completion and integrationSeeing the whole system, not just individual partsCycles, closure, and long-range planningLimits that aren’t punishment, but physics: time, energy, capacity, and realityThrough this lens, Saturn isn’t simply restrictive. Saturn says: "You are powerful, and you are finite. What will you do with what you have?" Capricorn season invites us to make peace with that truth instead of fighting it.Minor Arcana Timing Within Capricorn SeasonThis season can be broken into smaller tarot windows associated with the Pentacles suit:Two of PentaclesThree of PentaclesFour of PentaclesThese cards reinforce Capricorn’s themes of money, effort, systems, collaboration, and stability. They remind us that what we build is rarely a solo effort, and that balance and sustainability matter just as much as ambition.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Numerology Oracle by Rosemaree Templeton, I pulled the Six - (Reasoning).This card reminds us that this season isn’t only about achievement. It’s also about steadiness, care, and the quiet infrastructure that holds our lives together.Reflective prompts on this card:Where have I been offering steady care that I haven’t fully honored?What kind of appreciation do I need, and how can I ask for it clearly?What would it look like to build my goals around love instead of pressure?Ways to Connect & SupportNewsletter: Get my magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my PodcastEmail [email protected] with your thoughts, questions, and more

Tarot for Sick Days
In today’s episode, I’m recording from a low-energy day. I’m in that early “pre-migraine” fog (the prodrome stage), and instead of pushing through like nothing’s happening, I’m choosing to talk about what tarot can look like when you’re sick, exhausted, or low on spoons.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeThis episode is about energy accommodations, nervous system kindness, and making tarot feel like support instead of another task. I also create a simple, on-the-spot 3-card “sick day spread,” then pull an additional card as a message from the body.What “tarot on a sick day” can look like in real life (without pressure or performance)My migraine accommodations (green light, migraine glasses, tea, temperature regulation, sensory supports)A quick overview of spoon theory and how energy budgeting can change day to dayA simple 3-card spread you can use when you’re low energySick Day Supports I’m Using Today (Migraine + Low Energy)I share the tools I’m leaning on today to make this episode possible, including:Green light (migraine-friendly lighting)Migraine glasses (FL-41 style lenses; I mention my pair specifically)Night mode / warmer screen settings Peppermint + lavender aromatherapy Ginger + lemon tea Comfortable clothes Cool air + an open windowThe “Low-Spoon Tarot” 3-Card SpreadI make this spread up live, because that’s the whole point: it’s simple, flexible, and doesn’t require a ritual.1. What do I need to hear today?2: What do I need to keep in mind or focus on?3: What do I leave behind or not do today?My Pulls and their Messages*Seasons of the Witch Samhain OracleCard 1 - HauntedPrompt: What do I need to hear today?This card speaks to what we’re carrying, what we’ve tucked away, and how the body sometimes brings something forward when we’re too tired to keep holding it down. On a sick day, this can feel like a reminder that I can’t “logic” my way out of what my body already knows. Something needs attention. Something needs honesty. Something needs care.My takeaway: If I’m feeling off, I don’t need to shame myself for it. I might need to listen more closely to what I’ve been brushing past, especially around pacing and energy limits.Card 2 - MischiefPrompt: What do I need to keep in mind or focus on?This surprised me in the best way. Mischief isn’t always about chaos. Sometimes it’s about cleverness, creativity, and choosing a softer workaround instead of forcing myself through a rigid plan. This episode itself is a “mischief” move: I didn’t have full energy, so I made the content reflect what’s real today.My takeaway: Be flexible. Be a little cheeky. Find the easiest available path. Let the day be imperfect and still meaningful.Card 3 - The AltarPrompt: What do I leave behind or not do today?The message here lands as: don’t turn this into a production. I can still connect spiritually without building a whole ritual. I don’t need to “earn” rest by making it sacred enough. My takeaway: I don’t need a big ceremony today. Small counts. Quiet counts. Showing up gently counts.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Numerology Oracle, I pulled 5: ExpansionThis card points to change, versatility, and mental freedom. It also carries a reminder about honoring promises (including the ones we make to ourselves) and noticing what needs to shift in our relationships, schedule, or expectations.Reflective prompts:Where am I craving more freedom (mentally or physically)?What expectation needs to be renegotiated?What would “expansion” look like if it were gentle instead of intense?PS - Going forward, new episodes drop Monday mornings.

What did we learn in 2025?
In the first episode of the podcast on January 1, 2025 I talked through a 5-card tarot spread I created for this year. Today I’m talking about the prompts I came up with and we’ll pull cards to share what we learned in 2025 If you’d rather do your tarot spread in your own time you can go to https://camille-a-saunders.kit.com/2025tarotspread and sign up for my newsletter where I will have a downloadable pdf with the 2025 tarot spread prompts for you! To avoid any confusion- I pulled my own 5 cards to inform the tarot spread prompts for you. Today I am using the spread I created and pulling new cards utilizing the prompts to look back at what we learned in 2025.What we're talking about today:Here are the prompts- What are you refusing to see an alternative to? Where do you need to trust the process and allow for some flexibility in your usual ways?What are you feeling disillusioned by? What fears come up for you when you think about not getting what you want?Where do you need to step back for a moment to get the full picture? What are you forcing instead of slowing down and making a careful decision?What is something you might need to ask for help withWhat conflict do you need to take a break from for a bit? Today I pulled cards for the spread from Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle to help guide the discussion of what we've learned in 2025.I discuss the overall messages we've learnedReferences:When I originally created these prompts I pulled the ideas from cards I pulled from The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia PopescuTarot Card Pull:Deck used: Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod Ways to Connect & Support:If you love the show, the best way to support it for free is by listening daily, leaving a review, and subscribing or following in your favorite podcast app.Get my FREE 2025 5-card Tarot Spread I created just for you at the beginning of this year, by joining my newsletter list.I have opened up the podcast to have guests on now as you can see/hear!

2025 5-Card Tarot Spread In Review
Today I’m reviewing my 2025 5-card spread I laid out on episode 1 of this podcast back on January 1, 2025!To avoid any confusion- I pulled my own 5 cards to inform the tarot spread prompts for you. And for this episode I'm reviewing the cards I pulled and what that looked like over 2025.All of the cards I pulled originally are in reverse, interesting. I usedThe Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine. Created by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia PopescuThe first card I pulled is The Hanged One- Reversed. This deck reimagines some of the cards to be more feminine or gender neutral so this is the card usually known as The Hanged Man. The second card I pulled is the 10 of Pentacles Reversed. 10s are usually about completion of a cycle. The image on this card is very circular.The third card I pulled is the Witch of Swords Reversed. This is another card that is reimagined and is usually called The Knight of Swords.The fourth card I pulled is The Enchantress Reversed. This is another reimagined card and is usually known as The Magician. This is considered the first card of the major arcana with The Fool being considered the 0 card. Since this card is so close to The Fool it’s energy overlaps with it. This card asks you to let go of your ego.The fifth and final card I pulled today was the 5 of Wands Reversed. Wands are activation energy. In this deck they often come across as erotic energy or the energy of orgasm. Something intense is happening here. You need to learn to look at the larger vision and lay out the path ahead of you before taking action.References:The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia PopescuTarot Card Pull: Let’s dive in and see what the cards have to say today.Deck used: Seasons of the Witch Samhain OracleWays to Connect and Support:- If you love the show, the best way to support it for free is by listening daily, leaving a review, and subscribing or following in your favorite podcast app.- If you want a pdf of my FREE 2025 5-card Tarot Spread I created just for you at the beginning of this year, get that by joining my newsletter list- Be a Guest on my Podcast!- Local?

Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod
In this episode, I’m talking about the Norse Goddess Rune Oracle, created by Rebecca Joyce Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod—a deck rooted in rune wisdom, divine feminine power, and Northern mythic storytelling.This is one of my newer decks, and the way I tend to learn a new deck is simple: I use it. Constantly. I pull cards for myself. I pull cards for the podcast. I live with it long enough that it starts to reveal what it’s actually good at—and what it isn’t trying to be.My Story with This DeckI found this deck at the Haunted Farmer’s Market in South Tacoma, which honestly feels like exactly the correct place to meet a deck like this. It has that “I found this in a liminal space on purpose” energy.I’ve also been in a phase lately where I’m really drawn to decks that teach me something—decks with their own structure, their own cultural roots, their own lore. And this one doesn’t just give you a message. It gives you a whole world.Style:Visually, this deck is striking—bold and dramatic without being chaotic. It’s matte, thick, and substantial in the hands.The edges are painted red, as a nod to the practice of “blooding” the runes—an old method of activating runes through blood as an offering and an infusion of power. It has its own complete divination system built around the Elder Futhark runes, with a Norse goddess assigned to each rune.Structure:What I love about the structure is that it’s a complete divination system without trying to “tarot-ify” itself. It stays faithful to runic wisdom, but still gives you a deck format you can shuffle, spread, and read.This is an oracle deck and it’s built around Elder Futhark runes and Norse goddess archetypes.There are 39 cards total:cards for the runes themselvesplus cards for the Merkstave (the “dark staff” meanings—alternate/reversed rune meanings), which are included as their own separate cards to remove ambiguityIf you don’t use Merkstave meanings, you can literally remove those cards and work with only the upright rune set.Imagery:On the front, the background feels like muted wood or carved texture—so your eye goes straight to the goddess imagery. Each card tends to show the goddess plus key symbols from her story, with the rune embedded into the visual field, so you’re learning the rune through repetition.What I use it for:I love using this in conversation with others, especially people who enjoy mythology, archetypes, witchcraft, or spiritual storytelling. It gives you so much to work with.I reach for this deck when I want:a reading that feels mythic and archetypalguidance that’s directa divination tool that feels seasonalsomething that connects me to divine feminine powerWhat I don’t use it for:This deck is powerful, but it asks you to engage. It rewards attention. And it’s not a “pull one card and move on” kind of deck—unless you’re okay with being haunted by the card all day (which I often am).I don’t usually reach for this deck when:someone wants the familiar Rider–Waite–Smith structuresomeone is brand new to divination I need a very practical, straightforward “daily logistics” kind of answerSomeone doesn’t want mythology, unfamiliar names, or a guidebook-heavy experience💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod, I pulled the Hagalaz | Hel: Chaos, Destruction, Renewal (Upright).If things feel like they’re falling apart, it may be because something is being cleared. Not to punish you, but to realign you.Reflective prompts on this card:Which color feels restorative to me right now?Where could I invite this hue into my day (body, space, altar)?How can I simplify my magic to make it sustainable and joyful?Ways to Connect & SupportGet my FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF + magic straight to your inbox.Join us for our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rd, 2026!Be a Guest on my Podcast!

The Herbcrafter's Tarot written Latisha Guthrie and artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert
In this episode, I’m talking about a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, plant magic, and earth-based practice: The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, written by Latisha Guthrie with artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert. This deck doesn’t just show you plants, it invites you into a whole world of herb-craft, kitchen witchery, and ancestral plant relationships.My Story with This DeckThis deck has been on my radar for a long time.Back in Season 11: Tarot and Plant Allies, I didn’t yet own a botanical tarot deck. I was constantly looking up plant correspondences online, and the Herbcrafter’s Tarot kept popping up in my research. I found myself returning to its imagery over and over as I prepared those episodes.I’d been searching for a plant-based tarot deck for years, but most of the ones I found either didn’t name the plants clearly or didn’t quite click with how I like to work. After leaning so heavily on Herbcrafter’s imagery for that season, I finally took the hint and bought the deck as a gift to myself.Style:This is a traditional tarot deck, but translated through an herbalist’s worldview. The vibe feels like standing in a kitchen with herbs hanging from the rafters, tea simmering, and baskets piled with plants from the garden. Structure:The Herbcrafter’s Tarot follows the Rider–Waite–Smith structure in terms of card count, but it reimagines the suits and court cards through an herbal lens.Instead of the traditional suit names, the deck uses the elements:Air (Swords)Fire (Wands)Water (Cups)Earth (Pentacles)The guidebook also adds an extra layer that makes this deck feel like a full practice: each card has a short mantra-style line, an image description, a message, and crafting suggestions—ways to actually work with the plant through syrup, oxymel, jelly, teas, bath blends, or other forms of herb-craft.Imagery:The imagery is one of my favorite parts of this deck, because it doesn’t just show a plant floating in space. Sometimes the plant is wild in its natural environment. Sometimes it’s been harvested and laid out beside jars, spoons, bowls, candles, or baskets. Sometimes it’s shown as food or medicine. Every card gives you options for how to actually work with the plant—something you can make, infuse, steep, craft, or ritualize.What I use it for:I reach for this deck when:plant ally work and earth-based spiritual practicereadings that focus on healing, nourishment, and slow transformationsituations where I want the next step to be tangible (something I can craft, brew, cook, or tend)learning herbs through tarot, or learning tarot through herbsritual-based reflection—pulling a card and letting it become a week-long practiceWhat I don’t use it for:I don’t reach for this deck when:someone wants classic Rider–Waite–Smith imagery with people and familiar tarot scenesa querent wants something very “straightforward tarot” without botanical symbolismsomeone feels disconnected from plants, cooking, crafting, or nature-based metaphorsomeone is from a context where these plants feel unfamiliar, and they want symbolism that’s more culturally immediate for them💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, I pulled the Six of Fire Nasturtium (Reversed).Let yourself celebrate what you’ve done. Let your people celebrate you, too. Call the circle. Gather the joy. Let it count.Reflective prompts on this card:What have I done this year that I’m minimizing or skipping over too quickly?Where am I craving celebration, but waiting for “perfect” before I let myself have it?Who are my people right now, and what kind of circle do I want to build or return to in 2026?Ways to Connect & SupportNewsletter: Get my FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF + magic straight to your inboxJoin us for our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rdBe a Guest on my Podcast!

It's Grow Time Deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray
Today, I’m talking about something a little different from tarot and oracle: It's Grow Time Deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray. This is a 48-card affirmation deck created specifically for do-good, feel-good business owners—and honestly, it’s one of the most practical decks in my collection.My Story with This DeckI got this deck directly from Chantelle during its early launch, and what made it extra special is that I already knew Chantelle through some shared community connections. We had done a virtual coffee date, and I later invited them onto the podcast, so this deck feels very relational for me.What I love most is that this is Chantelle’s first deck, and it was created from their own lived experience as a designer and business owner who supports other heart-centered entrepreneurs. It doesn’t feel generic or overly spiritualized—it feels grounded in real-life business rhythms, burnout, growth, fear, joy, and momentum.Since getting it, I’ve used it in my own business planning, in group settings with other business owners, and even as a gift for fellow entrepreneurs who also love tarot and oracle. It’s one of those decks that just fits into real life.Unlike tarot or most oracle systems, these categories are intentionally separated. It’s warm, friendly, motivational, and realistic in a way many oracle decks aren’t. The tone is compassionate but not fluffy. Every card either helps you feel good or do good, and both sides support sustainable business growth.Style:This is an affirmation and action deck, not tarot and not a traditional oracle. The energy is supportive, practical, encouraging, and grounded in everyday business realities. It’s about momentum, self-trust, care, and sustainability—not hustle at all costs.Structure:The deck has 48 cards, split into two types: Feel Good cards (affirmations) and Do Good cards (gentle action prompts). You can use them together or separately.Imagery:The aesthetic is bold, clean, and fun—hot pink, black, white text, and simple graphic symbols. It feels modern, playful, and affirming without being overly busy or symbolic.The backs of the cards alternate between:Three hearts + “Feel Good”Three stars + “Do Good”The front of the cards is either:Pink for Feel GoodBlack for Do GoodWhat I use it for:This is a beautiful deck to bring into community spaces—retreats, coworking sessions, networking events, or even tabling at business-focused gatherings. It’s approachable, supportive, and easy for people who may be intimidated by tarot.It's one of my favorite decks to use when I’m:navigating business overwhelmfeeling stuck or discouragedplanning my next stepsrunning group gatherings with other business ownersdoing quarterly or seasonal business reflectionhosting networking or creative planning sessionsWhat I don’t use it for:This deck is intentionally niche—it’s made for business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs. If someone is not connected to business or creative work, some of the prompts may not feel as relevant, though many are still universally affirming.I don’t reach for this deck when:someone wants a traditional tarot readingthe question is deeply emotional, spiritual, or shadow-focusedI’m working with complex spreads or symbolism💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From It’s Grow Time deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray, I pulled Do Good: “Schedule a virtual coffee or tea chat.”This card is an invitation into connection, momentum, and relational nourishment. It's a reminder that growth doesn’t have to happen alone.Reflective prompts on this card:Who have I been thinking about lately but haven’t reached out to?What kind of support or connection would feel nourishing right now?Where might collaboration or shared energy help me move forward?Ways to Connect & Support:Newsletter: Get my FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF + magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my Podcast!Join our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rd!
