What does it truly mean to find balance in your life? In this episode of the GRACED Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth Su, creator of The Adventure Tarot, to explore the lessons of the Temperance card—finding balance, healing burnout, and embracing self-care. We also dive into the importance of letting go of perfectionism, setting boundaries, and discovering belonging—whether in our relationships, careers, or personal growth.If you liked this episode, check out the previous GRACED podcast episode with Amanda Yates Garcia: https://youtu.be/vcosFLJ1qlk✨__________What We Talk About:00:00 Episode Preview00:16 Opening00:51 Introduction01:18 Giveaway01:35 Interview Begins with Elizabeth Su02:07 Prioritizing Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Wellness03:29 Social Obligations vs. Genuine Desire06:48 Navigating the Pain of Upsetting Others08:31 Embracing a New Version of Yourself09:55 Finding Belonging Amidst Rising Anti-Asian Hate15:12 The Alchemy of Shifting Beliefs and Prioritizing Self-Care22:38 Rebuilding a Relationship With Self24:58 Radical Self-Love26:26 AD - Join our Tarot for Alchemy Course https://learntarot.mysticmondays.com/28:32 Transforming Emotions Into Growth31:54 Seeing Each Other Fully35:37 Learning Your Needs40:14 How the Adventure Tarot Took Shape43:09 Going Beyond Diversity44:47 Overcoming Perfectionism Through Self-Worth49:54 Fast Five Questions52:06 Collective Reading from the Adventure Tarot by Elizabeth Su55:43 Closing Statements57:32 End of Episode – Make Sure to Leave a Podcast Review!58:25 End Card✨__________Check out the Mystic Mondays App:https://www.mysticmondays.com/pages/app/Check out the Create Your Deck Club:https://cydc.mysticmondays.com/create-your-deck-club✨__________Read the full show notes and transcript on the Grace Duong Blog:http://www.graceduong.com/podcast✨__________Episode Resources:Elizabeth's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/heyelizabethsuElizabeth's Website:https://elizabethsu.com/Work with Grace:http://www.graceduong.com✨__________

Today's guest is Amanda Yates Garcia, a writer, public witch, and host of the Between the Worlds podcast. In today's episode, we dive deep into transformation, magic, and the mysteries of the Death card in tarot.

In this, the second of two solo episodes with host Amanda Yates Garcia on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the mythologies of the Knight of Cups. Specifically, we focus on the Celtic legend of the Grail Knight Percival, his travels through the Forest of Arroy (the Forest of Adventure), and his encounter with the Fisher King. We talk about the Well Maidens, and the Wasteland. We describe the pursuit of the Grail as one of the founding myths of Western Civilization, because it describes the desecration of the sacred, but also prophesies what medicine must be found in order to restore the world to right order. We give study questions, and also rituals you can use when themes related to the Knight of Cups show up in your reading, or your life.

How can witchcraft help us participate in re-enchanting the world? How do we reclaim our strength and power to enable us to listen to the messages from the spirit of the earth? What is the danger in magic?To many in the magical world, my guest in conversation today, Amanda Yates Garcia, needs no introduction. Amanda is the author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch - one of the most dearly beloved text in the community. Gorgeously written, Amanda's book has accompanied many, myself included, through powerful rites of passages - ones that our overculture and conventional education systems never prepared us for. Amanda is also the host of the incredible podcast Between The Worlds. In our conversation, we dove right into the deep end, discussing Amanda's creative process, what her witchcraft practice means to her, the connection between capitalism and depression, and what it means to re-enchant the world and to re-connect ourselves with the spirit of earth. The depth of Amanda's contemplation and the fullness of Amanda's presence are so deeply inspiring to me, and this whole conversation had me at the edge of my seat. This conversation is a must-listen. It's my deep honor to share this conversation and Amanda's brilliance with you.Here's Amanda's bio:Amanda Yates Garcia is a writer, witch, and the Oracle of Los Angeles.

For our Season 2 finale, please welcome Amanda Yates Garcia aka the Oracle of Los Angeles. In one of my most enchanting conversations, we speak about her book “Initiated,” being born into witchcraft, the trauma of colonization, surviving a legacy of trauma, and using witchcraft as a tool for healing. Amanda also talks about her own excellent podcast (which I can't recommend enough) “Between the Worlds,” where she interviews new guests each week on the topic of divination, tarot, and magic. I don't like to play favorites, so I won't, but there's so much good stuff packed into the hour we're together that you don't want to miss. Plus, it ends with an exercise from Amanda about the ways we can incorporate sex magic into our sex lives. Learn more about witches and how any of us can use witchcraft to create the lives we want, in this week's episode of LaidOPEN Podcast.

Is that astrology? Lol."[11:40] "How do I know when it's a good time to sign a contract for housing?"[19:24] "What does it mean if someone has Chiron at 0 degrees in Cancer?"Resources I mentioned: Amanda Yates Garcia's Lion Gate Portal newsletterDrew LevantiSabian symbolsChandra symbols (as interpreted by Ellias Lonsdale)Feel free to jump around within & between episodes to listen to the answers to the questions you're interested in!

And so much more!Danica is an online pagan educator and life and business coach. She is known for her podcast Fair Folk, a project dedicated to sharing the sacred song and folk traditions of Europe.

Today we're talking about the 8 of Pentacles, all about mastering your craft and makin' those coins. When the 8 of Pents comes up, you're being called to know your craft so well, to be so confident in it, that you can innovate. You're not checking to see what other people are doing or if you're getting it right. You're paying attention to the materials and listening to what wants to emerge. Whether that's in your practice as a witch or a musician, or a podcaster or whatever you're doing. Your real work and practice begins when you're able to innovate according to what wants to be done, not what what is imposed by the outside.Join us as we discuss how to find your flow with artist, astrologer and tarotista, Alejandra Luisa León is an artist. She began collaging as a way to process grief, and The Lioness Oracle Tarot was the result. Since then she has hand collaged and published two other decks: The Stars Divine (an Astrology deck) and Vision of the Muse. On top of running her online business, she also gives readings and teaches. She resides in Oakland, California. We know you're going to love her as much as we do.

Dear Listeners we're so excited to dive with you into this episode with one of our favorite and dear guests, Chiron Armand. Chiron is is a shamanic practitioner holding initiations in Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Quimbanda, and is a trained hoodoo root doctor in the Southern Conjure tradition. He's also the author of Deliverance!: Hoodoo Spells of Uncrossing, Healing, and Protection and Clearing Spaces: Inspirational Techniques to Heal Your Home. AND he holds an MA in Performance Studies from New York University and a BA in Ritual Anthropology and Queer Studies from Hampshire College. In short, Chiron is brilliant, thoroughly educated and initiated, and also kind, adorable, and super fun to talk to. We love him so much and know you will too.Today we're talking about the Spirits of the Land, and the Spirits of Places. We talk about ancestral relationships to the land and how they show up in your childhood. We talk about techniques for communicating and forming bonds with the spirits of the land, and how to do that even if you're living in a big city where you feel like any land spirits may be long gone. We discuss how the ocean can heal our relationships, and how the mountains can lead us to deeper integrity and purpose — but that we can't approach them in an extractive way, wanting something. Instead, we need to approach the spirits of the land in an attitude of romantic reverence.Stay tuned to find out how.To find out more about our ACE OF PENTACLES: ABUNDANCE MAGICK WORKSHOP either scroll down or visit our website. www.betweentheworldspodcast.com/shopQuestions to ask yourself if you're worried you're failing:by whose standards am I failing?who benefits from my believing myself a failure?who benefits if I love myself more in all my failure? Truly, like which groups of people or beings benefit from your resistance to imposed notions of success?how can you throw your failure back in the face of the status quo, or whomever it is that says that you're failing? Like truly, what would it look like to thumb your nose?ask yourself, how can I open up a dialogue here, instead of operating on a dominator model?*********************************Find out more about our special guest, Chiron Armand: writer, shamanic practitioner, and decolonial creative....

Many tarotologists say the 6 of Pentacles is one of the most complicated cards in the Minor Arcana. It's a card about exchange, giving and receiving, but as we know all too well, that shizz can bring up a lot for people! In this episode we talk about knowing your value (and how if you're over giving, you probably don't); guilt and being of service; leaky boundaries, how to set clearer ones and defend them; gift societies; obligation; Marcel Mauss; myths and fairytales; how the moon is not a vending machine (hey, hey CA Conrad); what the Cameron Crowe film Say Anything tells us about tarot; how to find TRUE abundance and what to do with it once you've got it... all with our illustrious guest, Liz Worth!A bit more about our guest...

In the 2 of Swords, a woman has to make a big decision without having all the information she needs. She's paralyzed by the thought she might make the wrong choice, and so she waits. The wisdom of this card teaches us how to move forward even when we feel caught in indecision. We could be deciding where to live; whether to break up or hook up; which next project to begin; or where we should focus our energy. No matter what we're deciding about, this card has some potent medicine for us.Our special guest today is Chiron Armand, a shamanic practitioner with initiations in Haitian Vodou (Houngan Asogwe) and Brazilian Quimbanda (com licensa). He is a trained hoodoo root doctor in the Southern Conjure tradition and is the author of "Deliverance!: Hoodoo Spells of Uncrossing, Healing, and Protection and Clearing Spaces: Inspirational Techniques to Heal Your Home."

Welcome back to Between the Worlds, Season 3! This season we’re tackling the suit of swords, which deals with two basic themes: truth and conflict. In this episode we discuss the Ace of Swords, going deep into the mythology of the Arthurian Legends, thunder gods, fairy women, gifts from the underworld – AND how all this relates to making choices and finding your life's purpose. We can't wait to get back into the magic with you! P.S. We also give a brief note about the end of our old podcast, Strange Magic.

Pour water into bowl; add yeast and stir until dissolved. Add milk, butter, salt and sugar. Stir until well blended.Step 2. Sprinkle in 3 Cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until flour is evenly moistened. Add 4th cup of flour and beat until dough is smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes--rest when you get tired). Mix in 5th cup flour to make a stiff dough.Step 3. Measure 6th cup of flour; sprinkle about half of it on board. Turn dough out onto heavily floured area of board. Keep a light coating of flour on dough as you begin to knead.Step 4. Fold dough toward you with your fingers; push away with the heel of your hand. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat folding-pushing motion, adding flour to board as you knead. Kneading is finished when dough is nonsticky, smooth and satiny.Step 5. Put dough in greased bowl; turn over to grease top. Cover bow with clear plastic wrap or damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (80 degrees) until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours). Test by inserting two fingers into dough--if indentations remain, dough is ready to shape.Step 6. After dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles, then turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Knead dough briefly and shape into smooth oval.Step 7. Divide dough in half by grasping dough in center and squeezing.Step 8. Roll out each half into a rectangle about 6 by 16 inches. Mix together cinnamon and sugar for swirl. Sprinkle half of mixture evenly over each rectangle. Beginning with the narrow side, roll each half tightly into a loaf. Seal ends and seam by pinching with your fingersStep 9. Let rise, covered, on greased cookie sheet for half an hour. Cut one half into half again and, of the two quarters, cut one into six pieces for legs, arms and ears of the goddess / teddy bear / patriarch. Cut a small piece off of the large (undivided half) and use for boobs / snout / penis. That is, the large half is the body, the quarter is the head, the six pieces are shaped to form arms and legs and the small piece is for the boobs / snout / penis. Pinch pieces together, cover, and let rise another 15 to 20 minutes. Place raisins or walnuts for eyes or pierce the patriarch with cloves.Step 10. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until loaves are nicely browned and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and turn loaves onto racks to cool.**********************************To find out more about the host, Amanda Yates Garcia...... sign up for Amanda's newsletter, CLICK HERE.... order Amanda's book, "Initiated: Memoir of a Witch" CLICK HERE....

The 9 of Wands is the feeling that comes when you feel like you've been struggling forever and you just don't know if you can take one more blow. The good news is, the 9 of Wands also offers some wisdom on how you can reconnect with your power source, feel rejuvenated, and remember why you started this journey in the first place. In today's episode of Between the Worlds we discuss all of this with activist, Akashic records reader, and decolonial scholar Leah Garza.

In this episode, host River Rose considers what good news may be available to us this week. She also aggressively asks the Tarot to tell us something good. Like a the close friend who tells us like it is but who may not tell us what we want to hear, the cards reveal the Three of Pentacles reversed, the Devil, and the King of Wands reversed. With the cards showing a community divided, and an underground resistance to amoral power and to destructive energy, they are telling us to dig deep within ourselves and to do some work to create something good out of a less than ideal situation. Lots of cultural references to inspire you are mentioned in the episode: Alexander Hamilton, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Dolly Parton, William Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri, Luigi Pirandello, Amanda Yates-Garcia, Chaka Kahn, and more! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Witchcraft, astrology, tarot...magical pursuits have exploded in popularity over the last several years. Just in time for Halloween, we talk to activist witch Amanda Yates Garcia, also known as The Oracle of Los Angeles, to learn more about what it means to practice magic and how we can bring it into our work for justice. This is a deeply inspiring conversation about the power of imagination, dismantling systems of hierarchy with models of shared leadership, the hard work that is needed to make our dreams reality, the importance of being connected to the earth, embodiment and pleasure, and much more.
