For David Lynch: January 20, 1946- January 16, 2025I have met with the shapeshifter, I've seen their magic: misdirection, illusion, and the many ways these can be used. Is illusion always a negative thing? -Blood Moon Tarot '7 of Dreams' by Sam GuayAquarius is Fixed Air and corresponds to Swords cards 5-7 and its King. Natives of this sign are visionary, defy traditional ideas and the status quo, possess exceptional out-of-the-box problem solving skills, and pair uncanny rationality and logic with effortless imagination and creativity. *Episode Art: Foreground Image- Blood Moon Tarot 7 of Dreams/ Background Image- Esmerlize King of SwordsAcknowledgments & Mentions:Black Ink Tarot, Evvin Marin; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; Blood Moon Tarot, Sam Guay; The Crone Tarot, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince; Mary-El Tarot, Mary White; Raven's Prophecy Tarot, Maggie Stiefvater; The Little Sister Tarot, Ginny Thonson; Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Witch Sister Tarot, Julia Jeffrey; Gallery of Hallucinations Oracle, Patrick Valenca (Deviant Moon Inc.)

Blessed Winter Solstice (in the Northern hemisphere)! Capricorn, last of the earth elementals, is of cardinal triplicity, connecting it to the initiatory cards of its corresponding Tarot suit: 2-4 of Pentacles/Disks and the Queen.Famous for their persistence, discipline, and resourcefulness, Capricorn is arguably the most down to earth of all the signs. The qualities of the sure-footed mountain goat remind us to stay the course in times of difficulty with calm presence oof mind and integration with our natural surroundings.‘We humans are also animals, and we deny our animal nature and needs at our cost. Perhaps we need to dance in the forest, feel the earth under our feet, the sun on our face, pay attention to nature, take time to feel its different textures on our skin, be still, and breathe in the scent of the earth.' -Julia Jeffreys*Episode Art: Left: Oriens Tarot, Right: Witch Sister Tarot*Special Note: Please forgive Eliza's continued refusal to learn to pronounce or understand the proper usage of the Greek word ‘chimera'. The correct pronunciation is, in fact, KY-MER-AH and its meaning is an amalgamation of animal parts into one creature.Acknowledgments & Mentions: The CroneTarot, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince; Witch Sister Tarot, Julia Jeffrey; Oriens Tarot, Ambi Sun; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; Blood Moon Tarot, Sam Guay; Black Ink Tarot, Evvin Marin *Disclaimer: Passages may be truncated or modified for the sake of brevity.8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

‘I Am Sagittarius'I don't know no shameI feel no painI can't see the flame-Sinead O'ConnorSagittarius is the final fire sign of the zodiac, of mutable quality, and associated with Wands cards 8-10 and Knight. These Jupiter ruled creatures are wild at heart, truth-seeking, and uncompromisingly authentic. They keep us curious, questioning, and continually nudge us to leave our comfort zone. *Episode Art: Forager's Daughter Tarot, Blood Moon Tarot, Tarot of the Witch's GardenAcknowledgments & Mentions: Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; Blood Moon Tarot, Sam Guay; The Crone & Dark Goddess Tarots, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince; Mary-El Tarot, Mary White; The Little Sister Tarot, Ginny Thonpson; Tarot of the Witch's Garden, Natasa Ilincic (ills.)/Guidebook by Sasha Graham; Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Witch Sister tarot, Julia Jeffrey; Grease, The Joker; Outlander Disclaimer: Passages may be truncated or modified for the sake of brevity.8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

Welcome to the 8th House, Scorpio's lair, associated with Tarot minors 5-7 of Cups and its King. This fixed water sign shares ‘Spooky Season' with Halloween, Samhain, All Soul's, Dia De Los Muertes, and the thinning of the veil. Scorpio teaches that when we walk alongside fear, navigating our own darkest shadows, we discover an uncanny power to transcend the sharp pain of grief and loss, and move towards deeper connection with Spirit.'I'm the cobwebbed stairsthe ancient bonesI'm the shadow rippling cobblestonesI'm the stagnant swampthe black lagoonI'm the branches scratching at the moonI'm the funeral servicethe unknown mournerI'm the demon cowering in the cornerI'm the sexton's spadethe new thrown clayI'm what's left when they walk awayI'm the ebony coffinthe satin liningthe pale, thin lips in the back room dyingI'm the walking deadthe fly by nightI'm the last of the fading lightI'm the unbarred doorthe open encasementI'm the steps leading down to the basementI'm the four post bedthe let down hairI'm the cross that you forgot to wearI'm the highest voltagethe shining slabthe crack of midnight in the doctor's labI'm the night beforethe morning afterthe echoing of the baron's laughterI'm Jonathan HarkerI'm Lucy's trancethe elegant count's hypnotic glanceI'm the wooden malletthe sharpened stakeI'm the precautions you forgot to takeI'm the mummy's cursethe passing bellI'm the fortune they wouldn't tellI'm pyromania, TransylvaniaI'm out of breathI'm worse than deathI'm the late night airexhilaratingI'm with you in the darkness, waiting'Silent Scream, T.S.O.L.*Episode Art: Guardian of the Night Tarot, Supra Oracle, Mary-El TarotAcknowledgments & Mentions: Aliya & Madeline; Faith, Hope & Carnage, Nick Cave; Die Wise: A Manifesto of Sanity & Soul, Stephen Jenkinson; 36 Secrets, T.

Libra is the bringer of the fall equinox and denotes serenity, beauty, and balance. Associated with the mentally and emotionally wrought Tarot cards 2-4 of Swords and its Queen, we are reminded to cultivate inner sanctuary through life's difficulties.To feel at home in the world, and to know that the land and the sky nurture and guard us, that we are held and protected. Perhaps we need to stand still for a moment to allow ourselves to feel the gift of peace that is ours. -Julia Jeffrey*Episode Art: The 2 of Swords from The Fountain Tarot superimposed over Esmerlize's 4 of Swords*Correction: Eliza here.

'I Am Virgo'Join 8th House Healers for our latest astrological discussion as we unveil the many luminous treasures of mutable earth sign Virgo. Sojourn through the Tarot- from material realm to the continuum of spirit- in the Pentacles cards 8-10, the Knight, and Virgo's corresponding Major card, The Hermit.Hermit wisdom overlaps significantly with deep-diving, service-oriented Virgo as detailed in Evvin Marin's instant classic, Fortune's Inkwell: An Interrobang Tarot Guidebook. Virgo/Hermit energy as they tell it speaks to "Truth-seeking, interiority, quiet, observation, contemplation, personal gnosis, immersion, ardent curiosity, spark of holy madness. Scientist, archivist, philosopher, researcher, mystic, lover of wilderness, the highly sensitive person. Take time alone. Take distance from others to learn what you are made of. Enjoy your own company. After deep reflection, return and discourse. After self-discovery, find new connection. ~Evvin Marin (*abridged)*Episode Art: Forager's Daughter Tarot (top), The Fountain Tarot 9 (left), Esmerlize (background), and The Otherkin Tarot (right)Acknowledgements & Mentions: Fortune's Inkwell: An Interrobang Tarot Guidebook, Evvin Marin; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; Guardian of the Night Tarot, MJ Cullinane; Ravyness Drakon Tarot & Dream Raven Tarot, Beth Seilonen; Shadowscapes Tarot, Stephanie Pui-Man Law (Guidebook- Barbara Moore); Tarot of the Witch's Garden, Sasha Graham (Art by Natasa Ilincic); Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Blue Joy: Memoirs of a Dangerous Bang-Up, Deb Guerdat; & Mr. Rogers' 'I like to take my time and do it right'.8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

‘I Am Leo', fixed fire sign of the zodiac, ruled by the sun... and the heart. Tarot correspondences are Wands cards 5-7 and the King with themes of courage, faith, and fortitude.Je n'ai pas peur…“I do not fear, for my road is made open to me; I have God, who will know how to clear the route.

Bringer of Summer, Cancer is the sign of cardinal water. Cancer natives are gentle, emotionally accessible, nurturing, intuitive, and highly creative. Nick Bantock writes about ‘The Poet' archetype in his Archeo Oracle guidebook, which brilliantly portrays this dreamy archetype of the zodiac:The Poet lets imagination run free. They concentrate and distill, making visible the ethereal, bringing focus to beauty, inviting us to pause and consider. An elegant romantic, they merge rich experience with the unexpected, synthesizing the essence of every moment, making the world more vibrant. They help us filter thoughts and feelings to reveal our most noble selves.The Poet is a lyricist and champion of higher ideals. They will never let anything become ordinary, and through their eyes we see the greatest of spiral galaxies set within the smallest of seashells. They are searching for the quiet truths, fiercely hacking away at the tarmac and the weeds, attempting to reveal the peace hidden beneath the city's sidewalks.We require poets and artists to keep from stagnating. Each day we must fight not for power or wealth, but for the words and marks that articulate the sharp taste ofour existence. *Episode Art: White Witch Tarot, Maja D'Aoust; Esmerlize Tarot; Interim Tarot, Linda Benjamin*Afterthought: Eliza realized she should have responded to Sarah's question, “Why wouldn't the third decan of Cancer be represented in the 3 of Cups card?” with the reminder that because we remove the Ace, decans 1-3 correspond to Cups cards 2-4. Then, when we are talking about fixed sign decans 1-3 they correspond to cards 5-7, and mutable ones 8-10.Acknowledgments & Mentions: Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Blood Moon Tarot, Sam Guay; Mary-El Tarot, Mary White; Dark Goddess Tarot, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; https://www.carmensorrenti.com; Outlander; Southern Gothic Oracle, Stacy Williams-Ng; Esmerlize Tarot8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

I Am Gemini…The third sign of the zodiac is the perceiver of input, conductor of thought and communication, nimble overseer of networks, systems, and interconnectedness. Known for its versatility, the sign of mutable air is associated with the mind, and along with sibling air signs Libra and Aquarius, corresponds to the Swords suit- undeniably the most difficult in all the Tarot. Gemini rules Swords numbered cards 8-10 which deal with themes of paralyzing anxiety, overwhelm, and difficult endings. Perhaps, though, the entrapments of our mental prisons only seem to be restricting us... Perhaps reality is only a projection of our most troubled thoughts... As the Ace of Wings reminds us in The Pholarcos Tarot. "Allow for expansion—the importance is knowing your questions. Life will respond. Synchronicities will smile at the interest shown." - Carmen Sorrenti*Episode Art: The Fountain Tarot (Jonathan Saiz, ils.); The Southern Gothic Oracle (Stacy Williams-Ng); Carnival at the End of the World Tarot (Kahn & Selesnick)Acknowledgments & Mentions: Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Mary-El Tarot, Mary White; Tarot of the Divine, Yoshi Yoshitani; Southern Gothic Oracle, Stacy Williams-Ng; Carnival at the End of the World Tarot; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; https://www.carmensorrenti.com; Fortune's Inkwell: An Interrobang Tarot Guidebook (Black Ink Tarot), Evvin Marin https://www.evviemarin.com/ (Buy on Amazon Books: https://a.co/d/8fUKvfR); Witch Sister Tarot, Julia Jeffrey; A Course in Miracles, as channeled by Dr. Helen Schucman8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

Happy Spring and welcome to Season 5: ‘The Tarot Minors & The Zodiac'! A special shout-out to all the Aries in our lives: Eliza's niece Aliya, her grandmother Bea, Mazzy pup, Sarah's mom Nancy, and both her in-laws, Megan and Brian. That's a lot of fire energy in our midst!Although we parted from the airwaves last December, having completed The Fool's Journey through the Tarot majors, inspiration struck- we're back to cover the minor arcana and their astrological associations. First up is the sign of Aries, which represents the cardinal fire element and corresponds to the minor suit of wands, cards 2-4, and the queen.We hope you'll bear with us as the first half of the episode involves much reflecting and reacclimating after our long winter's absence. We talk about everything from dream visitations to Silvia Moreno-Garcia's book, Gods of Jade and Shadow, to Eliza's MSW capstone on autism in adults, to her mom's memoirs, (https://a.co/d/dzkMzx8), to Eliza's new deck collaboration with Maria Vaccarino of Concertina Art and everything in between. (See acknowledgements for more details).Because the content gets somewhat complicated to explain, we have laid out the twelve zodiac signs and their corresponding Tarot cards in the order they will appear in our upcoming series below. A massive thank you to Susie Chang (36 Secrets) and her work in this area.Pictured: Esmerlize TarotMarch/ Aries Decans 1-3 (Cardinal): Wands 2-4, QueenApril/ Taurus Decans 1-3 (Fixed): Pentacles 5-7, KnightMay/ Gemini Decans 1-3 (Mutable): Swords 8-10, KingJune/ Cancer Decans 1-3（Cardinal): Cups 2-4, QueenJuly/ Leo Decans 1-3 (Fixed): Wands 5-7, KnightAugust/ Virgo Decans 1-3 (Mutable): Pentacles 8-10, KingSeptember/ Libra Decans 1-3（Cardinal): Swords 2-4, QueenOctober/ Scorpio Decans 1-3 (Fixed): Cups 5-7, KnightNovember/ Sagittarius Decans 1-3 (Mutable): Wands 8-10, KingDecember/ Capricorn Decans 1-3（Cardinal): Pentacles 2-4, QueenJanuary Aquarius Decans 1-3 (Fixed): Swords 5-7, KnightFebruary/ Pisces Decans 1-3 (Mutable): Cups 8-10, KingAcknowledgements & Mentions: Gods of Jade and Shadow, Silvia Moreno-Garcia; 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, (also see Tarot Correspondences) T.

I Am The World/DancerThis final episode is dedicated to Madeline Jazz who (like in the Cosmic Dancer song) “danced herself right out the womb”… Happy Birthday (December 10th)

There are forces guiding you at this time. Depending on your belief system, this might be your higher self, God, the Universe, or something else. It does not matter how you label it, what matters is heeding the call. While the Fool is a broad opening to possibilities, Judgement is an invitation onto a specific path. If you have been feeling pulled towards certain actions or decisions or ways of being, this card could be a sign that you're moving towards a magnificent purpose. It is time to do what you know you're meant to do. There are many cycles of ushering out old and welcoming in new throughout tarot. Judgment is one of these cards, offering a chance for rebirth. There is a mystical realm that exists alongside the ordinary world. Step into this portal. Absolve yourself of the past and witness what you are becoming. - The Spacious Tarot*Episode cover art features: Mystic Faerie Tarot, Linda Ravenscroft; Tarot of Physics, Dan Horn & Corrine Kenner; Dust II Onyx: A Melanated Tarot, Courtney Alexander; The Crow Tarot, MJ CullianeAcknowledgments & MentionsGifts Differing: Understanding Personality, Isabel Briggs Myers with Peter B.

Rise and Shine!!! You Are The SunIn the quest that is your life, you have left behind some capacity for happiness, some simple wholeness that you can call back to you now. After all the good that you have been told you can't have, and can't be, it's time to say you can. After all the suffering in the world, it's time not to add to it one more ounce. When the Sun comes out, it's okay to be happy. More than that - it's a good thing. When the Sun shines, everyone benefits. Seek now for what brings you joy. Act now as if that's all that matters. Joy is the radiance that comes from expressing yourself, from singing your soul, from living with true passion. Give to it with both hands. - Ellen Lorenzi-Prince, Tarot of the Crone*Episode cover art features: Paulina Tarot; The Brady Tarot; Children of Litha Tarot; and Leonora Carrington Arcana (Majors) TarotR.I.P. to the beautiful and radiant Suzanne Somers… 10.17.1946~10.16.2023Acknowledgments & Mentions: Cyndi Lauper; Stephen King's Fairytale; The Wizard of Oz, T.

'I Am The Moon'... with Special Guest, Madeline Jazz Harvey‘Prayer for Darkness' by Deb GuerdatGo in, go in my child. Away from your savage cities of fire and stone. Wrap the sacred darkness around you like blankets and rest, sleep. And before the new tendrils stretch inside the dark seed. And before the new hatchling stirs inside his dark shell. Look up, sweet child, look up. And see how brightly the stars shine above you in the black sky. The joy, the wonder, the music. And you will remember why you are here. And the beautiful place we've been given.*Episode cover art features: Cosmic Tarot, Norbert Losche; Ravyness Drakon Tarot, Beth Seilonen; Tarot of the Witch's Garden, Sasha Graham/ils.

Dedicated to Deborah Guerdat 6.29.1948- 7.24.2023Deb's Obituary: https://www.goesfuneralcare.com/obituaries/Deborah-Guerdat/#!/Obituary Deb's Celebration of Life: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vx1qgnT1n3AHealerBeing able to call on her nurturing support is fundamental to your survival. She's always close by, but if you are unwell and continue to ignore her wise promptings, your pain will be exacerbated.The Healer kneads your muscles. Her hands are soft and strong as she releases the dark cells of trauma long held within your body. She smells of lemongrass and tamarind, and you can feel the warmth of her breasts pressed gently against your back. She absorbs and absolves the burden of guilt and sadness that tortures you; your chest opens and you can breathe deeply. She asks you the questions you need to answer.When you are exhausted from striving but continue to push yourself, she encourages you to put down your tools and rest. When you cannot sleep, she closes your eyes. And if you are prepared to listen, she will teach you how to let misfortune harmlessly pass by. And when the time comes to let go of your life and step into the fire ring, she will take your hand and accompany you. Stepping through the ring of healing flame, she will enfold you in her arms to cauterize your wounds. Go to her; she will relieve you from your hurt.-The Archeo, Nick BantockAcknowledgements:Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; Eliza's (Esmerlize Wisdom of Field & Forest) Tarot, Emily Dickinson, Fred Rogers, Sinead O'Connor8th House Healers Podcast is Eliza Harris and Sarah Cole-McCarthy.

“Difficult feelings require expression, not suppression. Keen your grief. Speak your rage. Forge your purpose. Pull the personal pain out of your soul for the fuel to make something tangible from it. Show the world what it is, and what it should be. Bring your regular practice to another level through the implementation of a grander vision and a deeper desire. Find inspiration in the elemental world. Observe the will and the dance of Fire. Sense the mystery and the wisdom of Water. Bring balance into your life. If you feel too withdrawn, add activity. Stretch your legs, your arms, your neck, your mind. If you feel too busy, add quietude. Turn off the music, the program, the monologue, the lights. Balance is not a static but a living process.It is a measured flow, a graceful dance performed every day.” -Ellen Lorenzi Prince, Dark Goddess TarotAcknowledgements & Mentions: 78 Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollack; Dark Goddess Tarot & Tarot of The Crone, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince, Guardian of the Night Tarot, MJ Culliane; The Pacific Northwest Tarot; Pholarcos Tarot, Carmen Sorrenti; Interim Tarot, Linda Benjamin; Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges; The Druidcraft Tarot8th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reservedFind us on Facebook and Instagram, purchase Eliza's Tarot on her Etsy shop and sign up for Sarah's presentaf.club.

We're baack… all hail The Sunset. Season 4 begins with The End, ‘I Am Death' as Sarah and Eliza join minds in contemplating The Great Mystery.XIII - SANTA MUERTEA profound transformation, a renewal, a true and proper revolution. If it is life that generates death, than death generates life. We are connected to all that surrounds us, to the people who have come before us and to those who will come from the cradle to the tomb, from the coffin to the womb, in a continual exchange and a continual regeneration not of opposites but of complementary elements. Santa Muerte brings with it new projects, changes, cuts and the necessary abandonment of what we keep stationary and entangled, like the past or suffocating ties. These changes however are not always pain-free but can bring with them trauma, anger, violence and loss including an immobility when we refuse to take on these transmutations.The advice of the dead: Accept the changes that are offered in front of you, without fear of cutting ties and cutting yourself off from your old positions, old ideas or preconceptions. A mutation is imposing itself. -From Santa Muerte Tarot by Fabio ListraniAcknowledgements & Mentions: Intro by Krizstina Lazar, (excerpt from 8th House Interview 5/9/22) The Wildwood Tarot, Talk Death/ Understanding Autism & the Hyperfixation on Death, The Witches of Eastwick, The Buddha Dharma, Duhkha (suffering).

Maria Belmonte left the funeral industry some years ago to practice acupuncture. Although Maria looked blood, guts, and death in the face on a daily basis as a mortician, she found that the scariest part of the work was the "good ol' boys club" mentality; her skills and intelligence were routinely dismissed. The most toxic thing about the work environment was not the formaldehyde in the embalming fluid, but again, the treatment she received as an Asian woman. The funeral industry proved brutal on her small frame. Maria developed fibromyalgia and a host of other health problems from chronic overwork. Maria cares deeply for her patients. Chinese medicine has provided Maria with a gentler means with which to express her compassionate healing skills set on others. Perhaps, like all of us, she just needs to remember to save some healing energy for herself.

Arwen Lynch Poe is a medium, Tarot reader, prolific writer, creative consultant, and professional “joy seeker” who encourages others to find their own joy. Arwen came to Tarot out of a need to find a divinatory tool for her spiritual practice. Her first deck was the Thoth but it didn't quite resonate. She discovered The Herbal Tarot and her intuitive abilities took off. In this featured interview with Eliza, Arwen recounts childhood encounters with unexplained phenomena, and the many ways she received affirmations about her psychic gifts along her very unique path to Spirit.Find all things Arwen at: tarotbyarwen.comOriginal interview recorded on April 25, 2022Acknowledgments & Mentions:The Herbal Tarot; Tarot for Yourself, Mary K.

Claudia, also known as ‘The Death Faerie', is a spirit medium, death doula, and coach. A fascinating woman who survived an abusive childhood, she moved to England at age three where she hung out in cemeteries and talked to spirits. She sees- or rather feels- faeries, dragons, angels, guides, and aliens and describes how each energy has its own weight and quality. Because of the amount of messages she has encountered in which crossed over loved ones use symbols to communicate, she finally realized that she didn't need to "learn" prescribed systems of knowledge. Instead she created and used her own dictionary of symbols. In their conversation, Claudia helps Eliza make sense of the passing of a loved one years before and reassures her of the role she played in helping his spirit find peace.Find Claudia at: thedeathfaerie.com and follow her on Instagram at: @thedeathfaerie Acknowledgements & Mentions:Pop Culture References: E.T The Extraterrestrial, Eleven (Stranger Things), Nirvana, Sex Pistols, In The Shadows, Ghost, James DeanOriginal interview recorded on April 28, 20228th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reserved Podcast webpage: 8thHouseHealers.comWork with Eliza/buy her deck: 8thHouseHealers.com/ElizaWork with Sarah: 8thHouseHealers.com/Sarah We'd love to hear from you!

Caroline Yongue (Savana Amata) is a Buddhist minister and founder of the Center for End of Life Transitions and Carolina Memorial Sanctuary- both in Western North Carolina near Asheville. In her conversation with Eliza, the two discuss breathing space for anxiety, fear, overwhelm, and grief, focusing our awareness, sensory consciousness, and home funerals. Buddhists believe that rather than a soul, that karma, consciousness, and awareness live on after the brain dies, and that consciousness takes a 49 day journey through the realms of the death bardo. It is throughout this ordeal that important choices must be made, choices that can be guided with the help of the living.

Wishing a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Donnaleigh and safe passage to her beloved friend and colleague, Rachel Pollack, on her journey o'er the veil. Godspeed, Rachel xThis episode is dedicated to them both and to their continuing bonds of friendship.Donnaleigh LaRose is a longtime reader of Tarot, Lenormand, Oracle, and stones. Eliza discovered Donnaleigh's podcast, Beyond Worlds, some years ago as she embarked upon her own journey into the Tarot. The analytical discussion and deep dives into each card, other divinatory approaches, applications, techniques, and alternative interpretations found on Beyond Worlds not only set Eliza's path of unending discovery of Tarot into motion but ultimately inspired her to start her own podcast, 8th House Healers, with co-host, Sarah.Donnaleigh has so much wisdom to impart; this episode teems with fascinating topics: paroidea (seeing faces and forms in everyday objects), scrying, premonitions, symbols and signposts, meaning-making, the afterlife, continuing bonds with the dead, the survival powers inherent in our own intuition and above all… the vital importance of paying attention.Beyond Worlds: blogtalkradio.com/beyondworldsAcknowledgments & Mentions:Monica Bodirsky, Enrique Enriquez, Mary K.

Associated with Pisces (Neptune), 'The Hanged Man' in Tarot denotes spirituality, limbo, liminality, sacrifice, surrender, martyrdom, allowing, acceptance, forgiveness, nature taking its course, inaction, perspective, vision, and reflection.In this episode, Sarah and Eliza discuss what it means to practice presence in the in-between, trusting our knowing in times of unknowing, waiting, the wounds of trauma begetting preparedness, cycles of birth, death and rebirth. Eliza recounts her own alchemical lesson as learned from her beloved Frank rat from beyond the veil…*Announcement: Your hosts will be taking an indefinite hiatus from regular installments, and leaving the middle leg of The Fool's Journey, well, *hanging*.

Join Eliza & Amanda as they discuss topics inspired by the Tarot- like Amanda's own numerological system she calls “Tarot Math”. Amanda shares how synesthesia informs how she understands her experiences, the label of 'autism', and the weight that can accompany labels in general. Eliza & Amanda touch upon the grief of losing the sense of smell from having Covid and also being neurodivergent (unbeknownst to Eliza they have synesthesia and Autism Spectrum Disorder in common).Amanda's space for supporting Indie tarot decks not only helps to keep the storytelling tradition of the Tarot alive but reminds us of the ever-evolving nature of the Tarot itself, and that it's meaning comes from many individually spoken interpretations of life rather than just one person or system of thought or belief.Amanda is the owner and founder of Indie Deck Review.

In today's episode, Eliza talks with Megan on her role and career choice supporting children and families in high-stress healthcare settings amidst scary or painful symptoms, unknown procedures, unexpected deaths, etc. Megan came into this work as one who experienced a sudden and unexplained prolonged illness on the edge of her thirteenth birthday. She recounts her experience and interactions with healthcare workers which continue to inform her professional role today. Her story is one of remarkable resilience—making a full recovery from coma & paralysis to answering a call to give back to children & families needing the same type of support she and her family could have benefited greatly from where she was in their shoes.Note* This interview was originally recorded on March 5, 2022.

Today's episode starts with a live remote (meaning the sitter was not here in person) Tarot reading for Erin! We also want to take this opportunity to say Happy, Happy Birthday! I guess our delayed publishing of this episode had a serendipitous purpose after all, hehehe. Erin was so gracious to want to share her response via an audio recording which we'll feature at the conclusion of the reading, before journeying on to the archetype of Justice.After embodying the Wheel of Fortune, we found our true north--our knowing of who we are, where we want to go and what we wanna do. We made an internal commitment to stay the ever-changing course with that truth in tact, but it may be best if we're willing to keep the exact "location" of our true north at least a little bit flexible. Otherwise, we may find ourselves creating unnecessary resistance each time we are confronted with beliefs or values different than our own. We never know who we'll meet or what we'll experience and learn on the way to wherever it is we feel like going in this lifetime.Acknowledgements:The Jungian Tarot by Robert Wang, The Brady Tarot by Emi Brady, Tarot of The Dark Goddess, Tarot of The White Witch by Maja D'Aoust, The Spacious Tarot, Guardian of The Night Tarot by MJ Culliane, Thoth Tarot, 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack, Medicine Woman Tarot by Carol Bridges, Relax & Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times by Judith Lasater, NASW Code of Ethics https://www.socialworkers.org/About/Ethics/Code-of-Ethics/Code-of-Ethics-English Special thanks to our first sitter, Erin Vincenz, WTF Tarot Spread creator, Evvie/Evvin Marin of Interrobang Tarot https://www.interrobangtarot.com, and Nicolas Bruno's The Somnia Tarot8th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reserved Podcast webpage: 8thHouseHealers.comWork with Eliza/buy her deck: 8thHouseHealers.com/ElizaWork with Sarah: 8thHouseHealers.com/Sarah We'd love to hear from you!

I am a sturdy soul-- and there ain't no shame in lying down in the bed you made. Can you fight the urge to run for another day? You might make it further if you learn to stay.I wrapped your love around me like a chain, but I never was afraid that it would die. You can dance in a hurricane . . . but only if you're standing in the eye. ~ Brandi Carlile "The Eye"Along the second leg of the Fool's Journey and after encountering what it means to develop inner strength and self-reflection, The Wheel of Fortune helps us realize that we ourselves are the eye of the storm of our own life. We are not always in control and the only known constant is change. We can view the spinner of the wheel as our relentless enemy or our greatest and most loving teacher. In fact, maybe how we interpret our experiences--through our intellect and past experiences-- is all we ever really have control of after all.Acknowledgements:Carol Bridges Medicine Woman Tarot, Mary El Tarot by Marie White, Dark Goddess Tarot by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince, Linestrider Tarot by Siolo Thompson, The Druidcraft Tarot by Philip Carr-Gomm, The Jungian Tarot by Robert Wang, The Herbcrafter's Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert/ Guidebook by Latisha Guthrie, Turn, Turn, Turn by Pete Seeger/The ByrdsEliza mentions a song that popped into her head near the beginning of the episode.

Is this my guide? The simple answer may be this: if you believe it to be so, it is so. Do you trust your own intuitive knowings, especially when it comes to making that next step toward presenting your most authentic self to the world? This is where the gifts only you have the power to possess are waiting for you to discover them. From 78 Degrees of Wisdom (Rachel Pollack): Primarily, the card means a withdrawal from the outer world for the purpose of activating the unconscious mind. The Hermit signifies a teacher [who might be an occult teacher, a therapist, our own dreams, or even a spirit guide evoked from within the self] who will show us how to begin this process, and will help us find our way.

Dedicated to Olivia Newton John 9.26.1948 - 8.8.22Like all the archetypes discussed on this show, the philosophy of the Tarot tells us Strength is an inherent quality in all who ride the Wheel of Life.

We're all just walking each other home. ~ Ram DassOur will is an ever-evolving compass pointing in correlation with our thoughts and actions. The Chariot is the movement and control of the elements once our will has taken hold.Once we commit to a goal we have a choice to rest in the belief it is possible and we already have all we need to make it so--even if its just curiosity at first.In this episode, Eliza introduces Hettie, her family's newest fiery addition, and we discuss how we've felt the wisdom of The Chariot at work in our lives.Acknowledgments:The Time Traveller's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger; Tarot of the White Witch, Maja D'Aoust; Otherkin Tarot, Siolo Thompson, Tarot of the Crone, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince; Medicine Woman Tarot, Carol Bridges… Spanish Castle Magic, Jimi Hendrix8th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reserved Podcast webpage: 8thHouseHealers.comWork with Eliza/buy her deck: 8thHouseHealers.com/ElizaWork with Sarah: 8thHouseHealers.com/Sarah We'd love to hear from you!

Happy Birthday, PRINCE Rogers Nelson! We love you and celebrate your artistry- and legacy- in ‘I Am The Lovers'. The Lovers. Within what may be considered a theory of psychological development, otherwise known as the Tarot, the Lovers archetype represents, among many other interpretations, the ability of the mind to be aware of & in constant relationship with yet another—more idealistic and wise self—lurking somewhere out there in the ether, heaven, dark matter; No one really knows where consciousness calls home, ya know?But we digress. Must be the Gemini in us. See you in there!Acknowledgments: Prince, The 'Two-Spirit' people of Indigenous North Americans-The Guardian, Michelle Marks of Temple Love Yoga Cherishing Couples Retreat, Sarah Powers 'Selfing', Love Song of the Dark Lord (Krishna and consort Radha), Linda Goodman's Star Signs, Tarot of Physics ‘Fusion', JFK, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Esmerlize Wisdom of Field & Forest Tarot **Corrections- Child, not son, of Hermes and Aphrodite- Sarah's North/ True Node is in Gemini in the 8th House (she does not have Gemini in her North Node, please excuse Eliza's zodialogical dyslexia)**8th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reserved Podcast webpage: 8thHouseHealers.comWork with Eliza/buy her deck: 8thHouseHealers.com/ElizaWork with Sarah: 8thHouseHealers.com/Sarah We'd love to hear from you!

When it comes to sharing our perspective with the world through our actions, words, facial expressions--what part of us is responsible for gauging its authenticity? We are, in fact, the only being--besides maybe the mind behind all minds, whatever that turns out to be--who truly understands the intentions behind our own words and actions. In this episode, we explore the gifts accompanying a healthy relationship with the inner Hierophant and the challenges that arise when our actions don't quite match our heart's intent. Sometimes the greatest teacher is taking the road less traveled and welcoming the difficulties that arise therein.From Mary-El Tarot's Landscapes Of The Abyss, (2nd Ed.) ‘The Hierophant': There is an undeniable darkness to this card, this and all of the 5s and it is not without reason. On a journey from 0 to 10, 5 lies exactly in the middle, the farthest you can be from your divine origin and your divine destination. It is the Earthly manifestation of Spirit; it is the manifestation of Zero, not as the whole universe but as a singular point, one individual, separated by layers of flesh and space. You could call it Hell, or the pit, or the black tower or the dark night of your soul. Here you will dive down into the jet black pit of Earth completely separate from [Source], and face your deepest fears and your shadows . . . so too will you find your darkest self. And if successful, you will see it for what it is, embrace it, and love it as part of yourself, and you will become more whole and powerful and illusions about the Earth will begin to melt away.Acknowledgements: The Medicine Woman Tarot (Peacemaker= Hierophant) by Carol Bridges,; Claudine @thedeathfaerie, Weston of Root Lock Tarot Podcast, Mary El-Tarot 2nd edition by Mary White, The Fonz, The Dark Crystal, Glinda of ‘The Wizard of Oz', Baba Yaga as The Hermit in The Dark Goddess Tarot by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince8th House Healers Podcast is:Eliza Harris: Owner, Host & Content Creator and Sarah Cole-McCarthy: Owner, Host & Executive Producer/EditorAll rights reserved Podcast webpage: 8thHouseHealers.comWork with Eliza/buy her deck: 8thHouseHealers.com/ElizaWork with Sarah: 8thHouseHealers.com/Sarah We'd love to hear from you!

Have you checked-in with your inner Emperor lately? They are the protector of your most precious knowings. They are the ever-constant gravitational force making it possible for us to freely create. In this episode, we converse on topics inspired by the Emperor archetype. Eliza surprises Sarah with some numerology-inspired synchronicities. The Extra Terrestrial (ET) himself is spontaneously channeled (it's quick--who can catch it!?). "You define what you see, many times without thinking. Realize, you have choice in your definition, in your response, to any situation.
