Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

Nature is medicine, and is a deep and wise teacher for each of us, no matter who and where we are, or what stage of our journey we are in. Through our perpetual transitions, metamorphoses, awakenings, and healing processes, nature is there as a steady guide and witness for us. Our guest on the podcast today, the incredible Willow Defebaugh of Atmos, has dedicated their life to exploring and unpacking these themes, which we dive into in our beautiful conversation today. Together, Willow dives into how they came to this path in life, how nature has been a teacher and guide for her, how grief is the key to being the stewards and caretakers that the Earth is longing for us to be, and so, so much more. About WillowWillow Defebaugh is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Atmos, an award-winning multimedia platform that seeks to re-enchant people with the Earth. She is the author of The Overview, a deep ecology newsletter and book, and host of The Nature Of podcast, named best of 2025 by Apple.

June is tricky and interesting, in terms of energetic invitation. The medicine and balm is clear: rest where you can, reach for pleasure, joy, deep nourishment and laughs where you can, but there is so much more going on under the surface of the month, in terms of invitation. So much process, tons of invitations to dive into deep healing and clearing, likely with some foundations under us feeling like they are more shaky than usual. No matter what life might bring, we are encouraged to stay firmly planted in the realm of what sustains and pours back into our well (this month and beyond). Reading for the month ahead:Card for the month ahead: Eight of Pentacles, Queen of Swords, The StarFeel/vibe of the month ahead: The Tower/The Tethered OneHow can we best work with it?: Four of SwordsWhat is calling for our attention: Ten of CupsAligned action we are invited to take, if any: Knight of WandsA message from our Guides: Ten of PentaclesTranscript can be found on Spotify!LINKS:Tarot for the Wild Soul is a USA Today bestseller!

My (newly bestselling!) book and Tarot deck are out! Click to order and click here to join me on my book tour Asia Suler's work has always reminded me of the Beltane/Samhain portal. It is so lush, rich, and fragrant, such a celebration of the beauty and magic of life, while holding clear and reverent space for the unseen, unknown, and otherworldly realms. It it so fitting that I had the pleasure of having a lovely conversation with Asia for the podcast around this time on the wheel of the year, speaking about everything from parenthood to neurodivergence to magic to healing and so much more. Asia Suler is a writer, teacher, earth intuitive, the author of Mirrors in the Earth and the host of Remember Why You Are Here. Asia began her journey after early years of chronic pain and illness. The experience— which pushed her into a deep search for healing, both within and without— led her to the altar of the green world and the creation of her online sanctuary, which offers educational experiences in herbalism, animism, and earth-centered personal growth. Asia has guided over 100,000 students in 70+ countries through her immersive online programs. Through her work, Asia helps people embrace their own unique medicine through a joyful engagement with the natural world.Transcript can be found on Spotify!ASIA'S LINKS: Website: https://asiasuler.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/asiasuler/Podcast: https://asiasuler.com/remember/Substack: https://asiasuler.substack.com/Book: http://mirrorsintheearth.comMY LINKS:Join me on my Book Tour!Come join us over at The Soul Tarot Membership, where you can get access to a private podcast feed, 1-2 live workshops per month with me, incredible Tarot resources, and supportive, warm community! Learn more about Lindsay and dive into all of their courses, journal posts, and free resources by going to tarotforthewildsoul.comDownload the (free!)

How devoted to life are we willing and available to be? How much pleasure are we willing to embrace? It’s a BIG month, filled with lots of birth/bloom energy, while simultaneously holding a lot of space for ease, joy, and non-doing. I know I have spoken ad nauseam about my adoration of lilacs in various places in my work (see above for one of many), but they really are so special to me. They come and go so quickly, and I really do love to drink them in while I can. It feels like a death meditation that I am very devoted to: drink in the flowers while they are in bloom, show up and live while you can, as you can. This is very similar to what we will be experiencing and invited into in the month of May.Reading for the month ahead:Card for the month ahead: King of WandsFeel/vibe of the month ahead: Two of PentaclesHow can we best work with it?: Seven of WandsWhat is calling for our attention: Nine of PentaclesAligned action we are invited to take, if any: Seven of CupsA message from our Guides: Nine of CupsSupport we can call on: The World and Six of SwordsTranscript can be found on Spotify!LINKS:My book and Tarot deck will be released on May 19th, 2026!! Pre-order and learn more about them here!Join me on my Book Tour!Come join us over at The Soul Tarot Membership, where you can get access to a private podcast feed, 1-2 live workshops per month with me, incredible Tarot resources, and supportive, warm community! Learn more about Lindsay and dive into all of their courses, journal posts, and free resources by going to tarotforthewildsoul.comDownload the (free!)
