the tender tarot podcast

Because life, healing and our existence is non-linear, as will my exploration of the tarot. in today's episode, we jump to card number 8 - strength. Strength, one of my favorite cards, is such an immensely powerful card when it comes to trauma healing because it invites us to confront the scariest parts of ourselves. Join me as we explore the energy of strength and how we can use it's energy to support us in our healing journey. Notes: Tarot Decks mentioned: Ostara Tarot, The Gentle Tarot Biddy Tarot, Labyrinthos TarotSister Outsider by Audre LordeRed Tarot by Christopher Marmalejo Treating Complex Stress Disorders in Children and Adolescents | Ch. 4 Betrayal Trauma ChapterSt. Vil, N.

sorry y'all - I know this episode over a month late, but the title sorta says it all -- it's been A LOT lately in the world and it's been overwhelming and I would be remiss to not talk about it as that's the whole point of this podcast. This episode, we are joined by Ri, a designer, an artist, and a fellow tarot reader and enthusiast. We ask the cards for support on understanding the current times and how we can support ourselves through it. Notes: @crystalballstudiosLet This Radicalize You by Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes Let me know what you think of the show!Support the show

topic: context and history On the very first episode of tender tarot, we explore the roots of the tarot and set the foundation for this podcast. what are tarot's origins? where did it emerge as a practice and how did it extend it's roots to now be such a widely used tool for divination and healing? We will time travel to 1400s Italy, learn about the Roma people who engaged in fortune telling as a survival trade, what Carl Jung and tarot have in common and discover the long and winding path the tarot has taken to get us to where we are today. I'll also give a basic overview of trauma, trauma healing and it's neurobiology and offer gratitude to my teachers, without whom I wouldn't be able to create this podcast. Notes: Romanistan Podcast Let me know what you think of the show!Support the show
