Tarot for Transformation

What we explore in this episode: My personal journey with tarot and how it transformed my practice over time Reflections on Tarot for Change by Jessica Dore and how tarot can be more than just an intellectual pursuit — it’s an embodied, lived practice A preview of my upcoming 12-week live course based on Tarot for Transformation by Dreya Blume Why the major arcana provides a powerful roadmap for self-discovery and integration The importance of collective energy and community support when working with tarot for transformation In this episode, I want to take you on a special journey, using tarot as a tool for transformation. We’ll explore what it means to work with tarot beyond simple divination, how it can support deep self-discovery, and why I’m so excited to invite you into a new offering: a live, collective tarot for transformation journey starting this summer. Tarot as a Tool for Deep Change Tarot has always been more than a deck of cards for me. It’s a mirror, a trusted guide, and an invitation to slow down and listen to the voice within. When I first started reading tarot, I was like many people — flipping through guidebooks, cross-referencing keywords, trying to "get it right." Over time, I realized that tarot isn’t about right or wrong; it’s about relationships. It’s a practice of showing up, again and again, to ask: What do I need to know? Where am I being led? This shift toward an intuitive, embodied tarot practice has transformed not just my readings but how I move through life. It’s taught me to trust my inner knowing, to see challenges as invitations to grow, and to approach life’s twists and turns with more compassion and curiosity. Inspiration from Dreya Bloom Tarot for Transformation by Dreya Blume (formerly Andy Matzner) uses the major arcana to guide us through deep self-discovery. In this book, Dreya outlines three essential steps for living a more authentic, fulfilling life: 1️⃣ Discover who you really are beneath all the social and familial conditioning. 2️⃣ Clarify what you truly want from life. 3️⃣ Learn and integrate essential life skills (like setting boundaries, processing emotions, and cultivating self-compassion). The major arcana offers archetypal energies that help us work through these stages. By engaging with these cards, we can explore different parts of ourselves and begin to shape a life that feels true and alive. Three Reflective Questions to Get You Started In today’s episode, I pulled cards to explore these questions, and I invite you to reflect on them too: What excites you about what lies ahead? What concerns might come up as you start this journey? How does it feel to step into uncharted territory? This summer, I’m inviting you to join me for a 12-week live course based on Tarot for Transformation! We’ll spend three months together, working through the major arcana as archetypal guides. Each week, we’ll: Focus on one major arcana card and the life themes it highlights. Explore journaling prompts and exercises from Dreya Blume’s book. Share experiences and support each other in a safe, witchy, and affirming space. Participate in live one-hour calls (with replays available if you can’t join live). This is not just about learning tarot — it’s about using tarot as a vessel for real, meaningful change in your life. If you've ever longed for a supportive community to explore big personal shifts, or if you’re ready to commit to discovering your most authentic sel

Tarot and Deities

What we explore in this episode: How to think about deities as archetypes or energy rather than rigid figures Insights from Bewitching the Elements on the divine feminine spirit A step-by-step guide to a nine-card elemental spread An invitation to explore your own spiritual connection through tarot In this episode, I’m sharing my reflections on tarot and deities: how we might invite the divine into our tarot practice and connect with different aspects of spirit through the elements. When we choose to work with a specific goddess, we’re seeing spirit distilled into a certain archetype. Venus might represent love, Kali transformation, and Hekate for thresholds and magic. These archetypes can be powerful guides during different phases of our lives. Tarot becomes a bridge to these divine energies. It offers a mirror, reflecting where we’re being called to grow, shift, and soften. The cards can guide us deeper into our connection with spirit, whether we frame that as the goddess, the universe, or simply our higher self. Elemental Tarot Spread: This spread connects you to the elements — Spirit, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water — and helps you explore where you’re being supported, where you can grow, and what wisdom to carry forward. How to prepare: Find a quiet, comfortable space. Center yourself with a few deep breaths. Shuffle your deck while thinking about connecting to the elements and your inner guidance. 1.Where am I being asked to witness the abundance and miracles in my life right now? 2.What are my emotions trying to tell me? 3. What is keeping me fueled and passionate? 4. Where am I supported and safe? 5. Where am I able to be my fullest self and be present? 6. Where am I living in alignment? 7. Where am I being called to live more in alignment? 8.What element can I call in to find more balance? 9. What wisdom should I carry with me moving forward? Tarot Spread Anima Mundi Tarot Deck: 1: I pulled the Two of Pentacles reversed. This reminded me to recognize the multiple paths to abundance and not get stuck trying to balance or control it all. 2:Temperance appeared upright, inviting me to find balance and not stretch myself too thin. A gentle call to go with the flow. 3:The Ten of Wands reversed suggested that my fire is being fueled by overcommitment and the weight of too many responsibilities, and that I need to avoid burning out. 4: The Hierophant told me to lean into structures that already work for me rather than constantly reinventing the wheel. 5:The Five of Swords reversed encouraged me to embrace open, honest communication, even when it means navigating conflict. 6: The Four of Wands reversed showed me where I’m struggling with stability and connection, nudging me to seek community and shared joy. 7: The Strength card, reversed, pointed to self-doubt and the need for inner courage and compassion. 8: The Six of Cups reversed called me to release nostalgia and unrealistic expectations, and to focus on presence and emotional growth. 9: The Ace of Cups reversed reminded me to open my heart, express my emotions, and embrace new beginnings with vulnerability.

Tarot and Sex Magic

What we explore in this episode: An introduction to sex magic: what it is, how it works, and why it’s so potent Ways tarot can amplify and focus your sex magic intentions A five-card tarot spread (from Gabriela Herstik’s Sacred Sex) to help uncover your unique path of sacred sexuality 5-Card Finding Your Path of Sacred Sex SpreadWhat You’ll Need: Your favorite tarot deck A journal to capture your insights Optional: candles, crystals, music, or anything else that helps create a safe, inviting space Instructions: Set your intention. Before shuffling, I take a few deep breaths and focus on my question: Which path of sacred sex is right for me? You can make it more specific if you like — for example: “How can I embody my erotic power? Or what wants to be awakened in my sacred sexuality?” Shuffle and cut your deck. While shuffling, I hold my question in mind and let my body relax. When I feel ready, I cut the deck however feels right. Pull five cards. I usually lay them out in a straight line from left to right, but feel free to arrange them however feels intuitive. Here’s what each card represents: Card 1: What is my inspiration for my path of sacred sex? Card 2: Where in myself can I connect to this? Card 3: How can I begin exploring this unique path? Card 4: What do I need to keep in mind as I do so? Card 5: What theme or message can I carry with me? Reflect and journal. Once the cards are out, I take time to look at them together and notice immediate thoughts, body sensations, emotions, and any symbolic meanings that arise. I write down everything that feels important, even if it doesn’t make complete sense at first. Integrate the messages. I close my eyes and spend a few moments imagining the cards’ messages weaving into my body and spirit. Sometimes I’ll pull a final clarifying or “closing” card, or turn this into a short meditation or movement practice to ground the insights. Optional: Make it a ritual You can deepen the experience by lighting candles, wearing something that feels empowering, playing music that helps you connect to your body, or adding affirmations or breathwork before or after your reading. Journal Prompts After your reading, you might explore: What surprised me most about these cards? Where do I feel these messages in my body? What desires or emotions came up that I want to honor more fully? Here’s what came up today: The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: 1: What is my inspiration for my path of sacred sex? I pulled the 5 of Pentacles reversed — a sign that I’m moving out of pain and isolation and stepping into heart-led healing. 2: Where in myself can I connect to this? 8 of Swords reversed — clarity is coming in, and I’m seeing the truth more clearly than before. 3: How can I begin exploring this unique path? 4 of Swords — by resting, integrating, and taking the time to truly listen to my body and heart. 4: What do I need to keep in mind as I do so? Crone of Cups reversed — to watch out for getting stuck in fantasy or nostalgia, and to stay grounded in what’s real. 5: What theme or message can I carry with me? Crone o

How are oracle and tarot different?

Today’s question: How are oracle and tarot different? If you’ve ever wandered into a witchy bookstore or scrolled through spiritual corners of the internet, you’ve probably noticed there are so many types of decks out there. Tarot, oracle, affirmation, runes, hybrids—you name it. And one of the most common questions I get is: “What’s the difference between tarot and oracle cards?” In this episode, I’ll unpack how tarot and oracle cards differ, what makes each unique, and why you don’t have to choose between them. Tarot’s Structure vs. Oracle’s FreedomTarot is built on a fixed system: 78 cards, divided into the Major Arcana (22 archetypes) and Minor Arcana (four suits, each Ace through 10 plus court cards). This structure creates a shared language across decks, making it great for learning patterns, spreads, and archetypal themes. Oracle, by contrast, is entirely freeform. Decks can have 39 cards, 44 cards, 60 cards—whatever the creator decides. Each oracle deck carries its own rules, symbolism, and design. That freedom allows for creativity, thematic depth, and fresh perspectives. Tarot is a system with structure. That consistency is why tarot is so widely taught, written about, and recognizable. I often describe tarot as a map—a framework you can return to again and again to navigate your inner landscape, archetypes, and life lessons. Oracle decks are the free-spirited cousins of tarot. That freedom allows oracle decks to be wildly diverse. I would describe oracle as more of a conversation starter. It opens the space for intuition, creativity, and journaling without needing to memorize a system. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to choose. Tarot and oracle complement each other beautifully. Use Tarot when you want structure, archetypes, spreads, or deep study. Use Oracle when you want a quick hit of inspiration, journaling prompts, or a deck that speaks directly to a specific theme in your life. Use Both when you want tarot’s clarity and oracle’s creative voice in the same reading. 💭 Today's Tarot Pull: Wild Kuan Yin Oracle: The Velvet Goddess Edition The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle It’s Grow Time deck Norse Goddess Rune Oracle Play & Joy - learning to manifest through pleasure Boundaries & Renewal - tending to your own city first Connection & Reflection - asking for feedback and allowing yourself to be seen Community & Collective Consciousness - weaving your unique thread into the whole Reflective prompts on this card: Where could I invite more play into my rituals or daily practice?

Tarot and Spells

What we explore in this episode: How tarot cards can support and strengthen your spells Using tarot archetypes to embody qualities you want to call in (e.g., The Empress for nurturing, The Magician for new beginnings) Choosing cards to set the mood and anchor your intentions Creating a simple fire ritual for healing, inspired by the Ten of Cups, The Empress, and the Queen of Pentacles Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington Ten of Cups — representing community, emotional fulfillment, and shared healing. The Empress — embodying nurturing, abundance, and gentle growth. Queen of Pentacles — grounding, comforting, and supportive earth energy. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the ways tarot can amplify and support spell-work. We explore how to weave tarot cards into your spells to focus your intention, call in specific energies, and deepen your connection to the magic you’re creating. Tarot doesn’t just help us understand our inner world—it can help us shape it. In spell-work, tarot cards act as powerful focal points for our intentions. Each card carries an archetype, an energy you can call on to support your magic. Want to invite abundance and nurturing energy? Work with The Empress. Need courage for a fresh start? Turn to The Fool or The Magician. When woven into your rituals—whether you're lighting a candle, writing intentions, or creating moon water—tarot cards can add clarity, focus, and symbolic depth. Think of them not just as tools, but as allies walking alongside you on your magical path. Fire Ritual for Healing What you’ll need: A small piece of paper Pen or pencil A pinch of dried or fresh thyme A safe container to burn paper (cauldron, fire pit, or fire-safe dish) Optional: a candle or charcoal disk Steps: Write your intention for healing on your piece of paper — this can be for yourself, someone else, or the Earth. Light your fire safely, focusing on your intention. Place the paper into the flames and say: "I now send healing to [name/intention]." As the flames burn, sprinkle in thyme and say: "Time heals all wounds. May this time heal [your intention]." Visualize the smoke carrying your healing energy where it’s needed, and thank any guides, ancestors, or elements supporting you. Today's Tarot Pull: Daily Pull from The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, I pulled The King of Chiles (reversed). This reminds us that our creative and fiery energy might be low right now, and that’s okay. It’s an invitation to rest, heal, and nurture ourselves before stepping boldly forward again.
