Season 13

JK Rowling

Season 13 of Every Day Tarot opens with a vital conversation before stepping into the magic of the Harry Potter world. In this episode, we explore the irony of JK Rowling’s public persona, how the books often portray femininity and intuition in a negative light, and the ways the fandom has reclaimed the wizarding world to center inclusivity and queer joy. What we explore in this episode: JK Rowling’s trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) stance How the Harry Potter books reveal a pattern of devaluing femininity and intuitive arts like divination How the fandom has reclaimed the series to center inclusivity, diversity, and queer joy When Magic Meets Reality JK Rowling, born Joanne Rowling, has been publicly vocal since 2020 about her trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) beliefs—views that deny the validity of trans women’s identities and actively push against their rights, including access to healthcare. Her stance isn’t just a matter of poorly chosen tweets. She has founded and personally funds the JK Rowling Women’s Fund, which supports legal cases designed to challenge trans inclusion and remove gender-affirming care. The fund takes no public donations; it is entirely powered by her wealth—wealth she built from all the books, films, merchandise, and spin-offs that make up the HP wizarding world. This has placed Harry Potter fans in a deeply personal ethical dilemma: How do we reconcile a story that taught us about friendship, bravery, and acceptance with the reality that its creator is actively funding harm against marginalized communities? The Fandom’s Reclamation Work The Harry Potter series no longer belongs solely to its author. Stories live and grow in the hearts of those who read them. We can honor the parts of the series that shaped us while holding Rowling accountable for her harm. We can channel our energy into creating inclusive spaces, supporting trans and queer communities, and practicing the magic of connection that the books once inspired in us. After all, the real magic isn’t in a wand, it’s in the choice to build a better world where everyone feels safe to be themselves. To explore the energy of this episode, I pulled cards from the Sasuraibito Tarot: The Devil - seduction of power and the shadow side of attachment. The Tower - collapse of illusions; the shock of seeing the truth. Eight of Cups - walking away from what no longer aligns, seeking deeper meaning. The World - wholeness and integration, reclaiming the narrative.

A card about repairing trust after deception, rebuilding connections, and finding reconciliation where possible.

What steps can I take to repair trust in myself or in a relationship?

Season 12

Tarot and Spiders

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the sacred bond between the tarot and our animal allies. Animals are ancient storytellers. They whisper truths about our intuition, reflecting our fears and desires, guiding us through cycles of change, and reminding us of the wild magic woven into the natural world. In this episode, we talk about spiders—weavers of fate and keepers of intricate worlds. They invite us to become intentional architects of our own lives. Spider energy says, "Every strand we weave—each choice, thought, and action—becomes part of the story we’re living." Let’s dig into their lore, their tarot appearances, and the lessons they bring when they show up in your life (or your deck!) What we explore in this episode: Spider symbolisms in myth and magic How spider energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the rabbit: weave with intention and honor the connections that sustain you Spider Symbolism in Myth & Magic Spiders are master builders, spinning webs that are both home and hunting ground, showing us how beauty and function can coexist. In many traditions, Spider Grandmother or Spider Woman is a creator figure, weaving the stars into the sky and teaching humans how to live in harmony. They are believed to be symbols of creativity, patience, and interconnectedness. Spiders represent: Creativity & craftsmanship Patience & trust Cycles & interconnectedness Balance & duality Tarot Cards Featuring Spider Energy: While not common across all decks, rabbits appear in several key tarot archetypes—especially those grounded in the physical world. Their energy pops up symbolically, even when they’re not pictured directly. The Hanged Man (Anima Mundi Tarot) Shown as a male black widow, this card mirrors the spider’s suspended state, asking us to pause, surrender, and shift perspective. Seven of Wands (Sasuraibito Tarot) A small spider in the corner reinforces themes of patience, standing your ground, and waiting for the right moment to act. Four of Pentacles / Four of Cactus (Desert Illuminations Tarot) Featuring a tarantula, this card explores attachment, scarcity, and the balance between protecting resources and living generously. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!

Tarot and Goats

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the sacred bond between the tarot and our animal allies. In this episode, we talk about goats—curious, determined, and fiercely independent creatures who have lived alongside humans for over 10,000 years. From their ability to scale impossible cliffs to their role in myth and folklore, goats embody persistence, adaptability, and a refusal to be tamed. What we explore in this episode: Goat symbolisms in myth and magic How goat energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the goat: stay persistent, resourceful, and unafraid to follow your own path Goat Symbolism in Myth & Magic Goats are among humanity’s oldest animal companions, domesticated for milk, meat, hides, and wool—and just as importantly, for their spirited company. They are woven deeply into human history and imagination. In Norse myth, Thor’s chariot is pulled by two powerful goats. In astrology, Capricorn—the sea-goat—blends ambition with mystical depth. In folklore, goats are sometimes cast as rebellious or “devilish,” not because they are evil, but because they resist blind conformity. Symbolically, goats remind us to: Tenacity & perseverance Self-sufficiency Curiosity & exploration While sheep are often seen as docile followers, goats carry the archetype of the rebel—playful, cunning, and willing to challenge the status quo. This is part of why they’ve been linked to the Devil card in tarot and to ideas of temptation, defiance, and personal freedom. Tarot Cards Featuring Goat Energy: Goat energy invites us to trust our instincts, to explore beyond our comfort zone, and to embrace independence even when the path is rocky. The Chariot (Anima Mundi Tarot) Represented here by a ram, its horned strength echoes the goat’s determination and willpower to forge ahead toward victory. The Shepherd (The Citadel Oracle) Featuring a goat’s skull, this card embodies guidance, leadership, and care, reminding us that independence and community connection can coexist. The Devil (Desert Illuminations Tarot) Often depicted with goat horns or satyr features, this card speaks to temptation, rebellion, and breaking from the herd. It asks us to examine our attachments and reclaim our autonomy. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington, I pulled the Four of Swords (Reversed). This reversal calls out restlessness, overwork, and the fear of stillness—or, on the other side, being too inactive and unmotivated. Goat energy here nudges us to break from stagnation, whether that means honoring your need for true rest or shaking yourself free from inertia. Reflective prompts on this card: Where am I overworked and in need of real restoration? Where am I stuck in stillness, afraid to move forward? How can I bring more curiosity and exploration into my daily life?

Tarot and Butterflies

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! In this episode, we talk about butterflies—delicate yet powerful symbol of transformation, death, and rebirth. With their striking beauty and intricate life cycle, butterflies teach us that true change takes time, struggle, and surrender. They remind us to trust the cocoon, to honor periods of stillness, and to celebrate what emerges on the other side. What we explore in this episode: Butterfly symbolisms in myth and magic How butterfly energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the butterfly: look forward to your transformation, embrace it, and it will give you wings Butterfly Symbolism in Myth & Magic Butterflies are some of the most powerful symbols of change across cultures. Their life cycle—egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, winged adult—mirrors the personal and spiritual transformations we all navigate. In spiritual traditions, butterflies are seen as messengers from the spirit world, symbols of the soul, and signs of personal evolution. Their presence invites us to honor impermanence and celebrate the beauty of what was, even as we prepare to become something new. Butterflies represent: Metamorphosis & personal growth Cycles of life, death, & rebirth Intuition, lightness, & spiritual freedom Tarot Cards Featuring Butterfly Energy: Butterfly energy shows up across these decks: as a symbol of metamorphosis, mental clarity, rebirth, and the courage it takes to become someone new. Knight of Swords (Sasuraibito Tarot) This card shows a dramatic image of a butterfly seemingly split in two at the third eye. Paired with the Knight of Swords, it emphasizes swift clarity, decisive change, and the unrelenting momentum of transformation. Death – (Herb Crafters Tarot) In this deck, the Death card features marigolds and monarch butterflies in honor of Día de los Muertos. It’s a reminder that what ends makes room for what matters most. Eight of Wands (Ophidia Rosa Tarot) This card pulses with forward motion. It’s about momentum, movement, and rapid shifts. The butterfly’s inclusion mirrors the energy of sudden growth and transformation. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!

This card is a gentle invitation to celebrate your growth because even the tiny, awkward, in-progress wins count. Just like a butterfly doesn’t emerge all at once, our transformations unfold quietly, layer by layer. When we pause to honor what we’ve already moved through, we create space to witness the magic that’s already in motion. Reflective prompts on this card: What shifted for you in the last moon cycle? Where did you show up differently than before? What small transformation are you ready to acknowledge and name?

Tarot and Wolves

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! In this episode, we talk about the wolf. Revered and feared across cultures, wolves remind us of our instincts, our longing for belonging, and the tension between the wild and the tame. They show up in tarot as symbols of the wild self, the edge-dweller, the one who knows how to walk between worlds. What we explore in this episode: Wolf symbolism in myth and magic How wolf energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the wolf: there is power in the pack, and there is strength to be found in an untamed heart Wolf Symbolism in Myth & Magic Wolves have long been both demonized and deified. Where humans have feared the wild, we have cast the wolf as villain. But in truth, the wolf is a creature of rhythm, respect, and relational depth. In myth and magical practice, wolves represent: Instinct and intuition Loyalty, kinship, and cooperation Shadow work and the unconscious Territorial protection and fierce boundaries From Odin’s wolves in Norse legend to the Pawnee Wolf Star and the she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus, the wolf appears across traditions as both guide and guardian. Wolves also share a mythic and ecological bond with crows and ravens—working in tandem, communicating across species, and reminding us that real power often comes through interdependence. Tarot Cards Featuring Wolf Energy: Wolves don’t show up often in traditional decks, but when they do, they carry a message of shadow, strength, and sacred connection to the wild self. The Moon (Rider-Waite-Smith & Traditional Decks) In many decks, The Moon card features both a dog and a wolf, standing at the liminal edge between domestication and wilderness. The wolf represents our primal instincts—the parts of us that howl when we stray too far from our truth. Strength (Desert Illuminations Tarot) This version of Strength honors the myth of the Red Wolf, a spirit guide who teaches resilience, surrender, and the power of inner will. This card reminds us that strength doesn’t always roar, sometimes watches from the shadows, and survives through trust. Ten of Pentacles (Anima Mundi Tarot) In this card, a Red Wolf rests with its pups, embodying themes of legacy, family protection, and the abundance that comes from shared responsibility. Knight of Pentacles (Anima Mundi Tarot) A Gray Wolf teaches us how to move with consistency and intention. No rush, just steady progress rooted in loyalty, craft, and care. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Spy Master, a card of knowledge and distrust. A striking synchronicity, as the card features a raven, reminding us of their mythic partnership with wolves. This oracle offers a message of caution: “Don't let the pursuit of knowledge become a search for flaws. See the whole picture—flaws and all.” Reflective prompts on this card: Where might I be overly focused on what’s going wrong instead of what’s growing? Who or what do I need to forgive so I can move forward with clarity? What alliances in my life could be deepened through shared vision and mutual respect?

Tarot and Crows

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the sacred bond between the tarot and our animal allies. In this episode, we talk about the crow—a bird of intelligence, adaptability, and mystery. From mythic trickster to messenger of transformation, the crow calls us to use our voice, sharpen our perception, and honor the magic in the unseen. What we explore in this episode: Crow symbolisms in myth and magic How crow energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the crow: see beyond surface appearances and embrace shadow as part of growth Crow Symbolism in Myth & Magic Crows—along with their raven kin—are members of the Corvus genus and among the most intelligent animals in the world, capable of using and even creating tools. They’re adaptable, highly social, and deeply intertwined with human history, thriving in both wild and urban environments. Spiritually, crows are often seen as: Messengers between worlds Symbols of transformation & rebirth Keepers of mystery & shadow wisdom Guardians of ancestral memory Teachers of adaptability & cleverness In many Indigenous traditions, crows appear as tricksters, shapeshifters, or bringers of insight. In Greek myth, they’re linked to prophecy and divine communication. In Celtic lore, they are battle omens and guides of the soul. Ravens, the crow’s larger relatives, share similar magic and carry an additional underworld connection—often accompanying deities like the Morrigan or working alongside wolves in mutualistic hunting partnerships. Tarot Cards Featuring Crow Energy: While not common across all decks, crows appear in several key tarot archetypes—especially those grounded in the physical world. Their energy pops up symbolically, even when they’re not pictured directly. Maiden of Swords | Page (Goddess of Love Tarot) A flock of crows forms a heart in the sky, representing curiosity, perspective shifts, and the freedom to see from multiple vantage points. Seven of Swords (Anima Mundi Tarot) A raven appears here as a symbol of stealth, cunning, and discernment. This card asks you to examine your own intentions and those of others, and to ensure that your actions align with integrity. Balance | Justice (Goddess of Love Tarot) Depicted with Persephone, this card embodies duality, integration, and moving between light and shadow—much like crow and raven energy.

A figure gazes out over the horizon, contemplating future paths. This card mirrors crow wisdom: pause to plan, weigh your options, and don’t be afraid to choose the road that challenges you—it may lead to the richest rewards.

What “two worlds” am I navigating right now, and how can I integrate them?

Tarot and Bats

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! In this episode, we talk about bats—mysterious and often misunderstood creatures of the night. They symbolize transition, awareness, and the courage to navigate the dark. Bats teach us that we can still move through uncertainty if we trust our intuition. What we explore in this episode: Bat symbolisms in myth and magic How bat energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the bat: trust your senses and face the dark unknown Bat Symbolism in Myth & Magic Bats are sacred pollinators, voracious insect-eaters, seed-spreaders, and cave-dwellers. Across cultures, bats carry powerful and paradoxical symbolism. Like moths and owls, bats are nighttime messengers, carrying deep truths that can’t be seen in the daylight. In Chinese folklore, they represent blessings, longevity, and happiness. In other traditions, they are guardians of ancestral memory, guides of the unconscious, and symbols of rebirth and transformation. In Western culture, they’ve been feared for their associations with death and the underworld, but this only emphasizes their connection to rebirth, metamorphosis, and the power of the unseen. They’re often unfairly linked to fear and darkness, but their symbolism holds rich spiritual messages: Renewal & energetic restoration Deep intuition & clarity Shadow work & facing the unconscious Trusting inner truth over surface appearances Tarot Cards Featuring Bat Energy: While not common across all decks, rabbits appear in several key tarot archetypes—especially those grounded in the physical world. Their energy pops up symbolically, even when they’re not pictured directly. Eight of Swords (Anima Mundi Tarot) A flying fox bat hangs mid-air, caught in the illusion of entrapment. This card invites us to see how our own thoughts may be limiting our freedom, and how clarity begins when we turn inward. The Devil (Therapist Tarot Deck) With bat-like imagery, this card examines how we may be bound to patterns, grief, or habits that no longer serve us. It asks: What makes you sad? What is it time to grieve? What should you stop tolerating? Wheel of Fortune (Desert Illuminations Tarot) A bat appears among other creatures on the cosmic roulette wheel. This card reminds us that change is inevitable, and that adaptability and perception are our greatest allies. The Hanged Man (Wild Unknown Tarot – symbolic reference) Like a bat hanging upside down, this card represents perspective shifts, spiritual awakening, and surrender to mystery. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From It’s Grow Time oracle deck by Chantel Davis Gray, I pulled “I release what is no longer serving me. My energy is sacred.” This affirmation is a perfect echo of bat wisdom. This reminds us that the shadow isn’t something to fear, but a space to shed, reflect, and renew. It invites us to honor our energy as sacred and release anything weighing us down. Reflective prompts on this card: What are you ready to release? Where are you being called to rest and restore? How can you trust your inner senses even in the dark?

Tarot and Foxes

In this episode, we talk about foxes—intelligent and resourceful creatures who’ve earned a reputation as sly tricksters and silent observers. With their cat-like grace, clever survival strategies, and sharp perception, foxes appear in myth and magic as guides through the unknown and symbols of feminine cunning and adaptability. Their energy reminds us that survival can be curious, clever, and even playful. Fox Symbolism in Myth & Magic Often seen as cunning shapeshifters, they straddle the line between seen and unseen, known and mysterious. In Japanese mythology, foxes (kitsune) are shapeshifting messengers of the gods, blending wisdom and trickery. Some are protectors, and often serve as messengers for the kami Inari and symbolize transformation, sensuality, and deep intelligence. But they can be mischievous spirits meant to teach a lesson too! In Celtic and Druidic tradition, foxes are guides through those in-between spaces of dusk, forest, and dream. Their presence offers safety in mystery and counsel in transition. In various Indigenous stories, foxes appear as tricksters or teachers, helping humans learn balance through humor, stealth, or strategic interference. Fox energy represents: Playfulness & curiosity Seduction, enchantments, & mystery Strategy, evasion, or intellectual agility Messengers & shapeshifters who move between worlds Tarot Cards Featuring Fox Energy: Foxes appear most often in animal-based decks, where their archetypal energy reflects new beginnings, adaptability, and strategic magic. The Fool (Anima Mundi Tarot & Desert Illuminations Tarot) Both decks depict a fox stepping playfully into the unknown—alert, but open. This reflects the Fool’s capacity to trust instinct, take risks, and adapt as needed. The fox’s light-footed path mirrors the Fool’s invitation to journey lightly. The Magician (Therapists Who Tarot Deck) Fox energy shows up as the Magician’s mental agility and intuitive focus. As a shapeshifter and manifestor, the fox embodies personal power that’s grounded in cleverness, timing, and a deep understanding of tools—both physical and magical. Fox (Druid Animal Oracle) A guide for those walking between worlds. The fox in this oracle teaches when to speak, when to stay silent, and how to navigate diplomacy without falling into deceit. This card calls us to move through life with both grace and discernment. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Adventurer, a card of responsibility and expectations. This card speaks to the burden of others’ expectations and the fatigue of feeling like you must carry everything yourself. Like the fox, you don’t have to rush. Break things down into smaller parts. Observe the terrain before leaping. Ask for help, after all, there’s no prize for doing it all alone. Reflective prompts on this card: Where are you trying to do everything alone? What expectations have you internalized that don’t belong to you? Where can you shift your approach by being just a little more playful, observant, or unexpected?

Tarot and Owls

In this episode, we talk about the owls—elusive birds of prey known for their silent flight, sharp perception, and wisdom. They have long been associated with intuition, death and rebirth, and feminine magic. They show us the power of observation and the necessity of listening in the dark. When owl energy appears, we are asked to slow down, sense more deeply, and trust our inner knowing. Owl Symbolism in Myth & Magic Owls appear across cultures as both revered and feared. They are often portrayed as guides of wisdom, messengers of death, and symbols of protection. In Greek mythology, owls were sacred to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy. Their ability to see clearly in the dark made them symbols of truth, intellect, and guidance during difficult times. In Indigenous North American traditions, owls can represent protection, ancestral spirits, or even warnings—depending on the tribe and context. Some Siberian and Inuit shamans viewed owls as spirit guides or soul carriers between worlds. In Celtic and Irish folklore, the owl is tied to Cailleach, the Crone goddess, death and rebirth, and sacred feminine mystery. Medieval European traditions often saw owls as omens or witches in disguise. Owls represent: Deep intuition and the wisdom of silence Seeing what’s hidden, especially in shadow or darkness Death, rebirth, and the unseen world Feminine power, psychic perception, and stillness Protection, boundaries, and independence Tarot Cards Featuring Owl Energy: Owls aren’t present in every deck, but when they do appear, they tend to highlight themes of hidden wisdom, insight, and truth-telling. High Priestess (Sasuraibito Tarot)A soft, intuitive figure sits with an owl perched in her lap. The owl symbolizes hidden knowledge, calm presence, and sacred mystery. High Priestess (Anima Mundi Tarot)A barn owl soars through the dark, holding scrolls in its talons. This card evokes the secrets of the unconscious and calls you inward to trust your intuitive senses. Queen of Swords (Anima Mundi Tarot)Depicted as a Eurasian Eagle Owl, this Queen is perceptive, clear-headed, and fierce. She reminds us to speak truth with clarity and to separate emotion from discernment when needed. Owl Medicine (Native Spirit Oracle)A card of intuition, feminine knowing, and hidden perception. This owl invites us to move inward, to speak only when needed, and to trust what we know—even if others don’t see it yet. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Orator, a card of communication and confidence. The Orator reminds us that it’s okay to need time to find the right words. Practice, scripts, and rehearsal don’t make your voice less authentic—they help you shape your truth with intention. Like the owl, let your silence be full of sight. And when it’s time to speak, let your words land with clarity and magic. Reflective prompts on this card: Where are you hesitant to speak your truth? What would support you in being more confident or expressive? Can you honor your inner knowing, even if it takes time to put into words?

Tarot and Bees

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! In this episode, we talk about bees (specifically honey bees)—social insects that thrive in interdependence, joy, and fierce devotion to purpose. They are woven into folklore, magic, and medicine across time and place. From the queen to the forager, every action supports the whole. Honey bees remind us that sweetness comes through effort, community, and alignment. It also challenges us to know our role and to value ourselves as part of the greater hive, honoring both our individuality and our interconnection. Let’s dig into their lore, their tarot appearances, and the lessons they bring when they show up in your life (or your deck!) Honey Bee Symbolism in Myth & Magic Bees have been revered, romanticized, and ritualized across centuries and continents. From sacred omens to industrious workers, they’ve buzzed their way into mythology, medicine, and magic. Their honey has sweetened offerings to gods, sealed spells of prosperity, and soothed wounds of both body and spirit. In ancient Greece, they were associated with the Oracle of Delphi and the priestesses of Artemis. In Egyptian myth, bees were born from the tears of Ra. In Celtic mythology, bees are associated with the goddess Brigid. In Druidic lore, bees symbolize unity and service. Their collective nature models harmony and purpose, reminding us of our role in the greater web of life. Magically, bees represent: Seasonal celebration and abundance Sacred work and the harmony of roles Community and cooperation Communication, especially messages from spirit Feminine power, collaboration, and industrious joy In magic and witchcraft, rabbit fur may be used in spellwork for prosperity, quick change, or protection. Their burrows remind us to dig inward—to build shelter, to rest, to incubate what matters. Tarot Cards Featuring Honey Bee Energy: While not common across all decks, bees appear in several key tarot archetypes—especially those grounded in the physical world. Their energy pops up symbolically, even when they’re not pictured directly. Ace of Pentacles (Sasuraibito Tarot) A card of tangible beginnings and grounded abundance. Bees here echo themes of prosperity, natural rhythms, and sustainable effort. Three of Pentacles (Anima Mundi Tarot) Featuring the Western honeybee, this card emphasizes teamwork, recognition, and the synergy of co-creation.

Plants beloved by bees and associated with Empress energy: Phacelia tanacetifolia (Bee’s Friend / Purple Tansy) Bee Balm / Wild Bergamot (Monarda spp.) Blue Tansy and other members of the borage family These plant allies invite themes of abundance, attraction, and harmonious natural cycles. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: From It’s Grow Time oracle deck by Chantel Davis Gray, I pulled “I am not for everyone, and not everyone is for me.” This feel good card affirms that authenticity matters more than approval. Like bees drawn only to certain flowers, not everyone will be your people—and that’s okay. Bee medicine reminds us to serve our purpose with passion, not perform for popularity.
