I've been trying to narrow down my topics about witchy stuff. Should I offer a review of the book I'm reading, the Witches' Self Care Book? Should I talk about tarot cards, when there are other, bigger and better podcasts about tarot out there? Then I decided, I should go into my own magickal journey and tell you how I've ended up here, in this place. I first started in college with The Book of Black Magic by Aleister Crowley. I remember getting it at a yard sale when I was in my teens. At the time, I was being bullied in school and was looking for a way to get the bullies to stop. I was ready to try anything, and Black Magic seemed to be the way to go at the time. I tried to read it, but it was too difficult for me at the time, so I remember hiding it away—so well, I can't find it even now. That led to my first tarot deck, the Aquarian Tarot, which I still have. I remember buying it when I was fourteen or fifteen—I say fifteen for ease of counting—at a place called the Curly Caterpillar, which is no longer there; it's a coffee shop now. I also remember locking myself in my room with that and Eden Gray's book on tarot, trying to figure out the meanings of the cards. I practiced bridge shuffling for hours, both a regular deck and a tarot deck. Eventually, I found my way into witchcraft. First I started with Ceremonial magick, but that was too high-brow and stiff for me. I went to a couple of coven-meetings which was Gardnerian witchcraft, which is a lot of Ceremonial Magick trappings with a goddess base. My last contact with a group was with a small coven out of Woonsocket, where I went to someone's Wiccan initiation. I decided covens were not for me. Next, I kind of put my magic away for years, reading some things, writing about magic. At first, I chose Wicca, but I'm not that deep into the nature of things to stick with it. Nature awes me, true; but I'm too much of a city girl to go traipsing through the woods to find a perfect spot to worship the gods. Years have gone by, and tarot cards and the gods remained with me. Athena and Hermes mostly (though Hermes scares me because he's the trickster god. I'm always afraid he'll twist me around every which way before it turns out okay). I have statues of Athena and Hermes, and Hekate and Hades for shadow work—when I stop being too scared of that to actually delve into the Shadow. I've read and studied, but as for practical stuff, I do a lot of little things, like to have a good parking spot or to get somewhere in a hurry. I've performed rituals before I go out and hawk my books, with mixed success. I have done protective rituals, and banishing rituals, rituals for mindfulness and circles for creating sacred space. The last time I did any worship was over thirty years ago, in a grove in the woods. My religion, if you want to call it that, is a lot about paying it forward. I try to be kind, I give complements when I can, and I believe that when I'm in need, then it'll come back to help. When Hermes has a hand in it, it might take a while or it might come out better than I expected. So that's where I am today, surrounded by tarot cards, books, and cats. Next time I'll try and think of something a little more useful than just my journey down the path.

This episode was recorded during the Spring of 2020, several weeks into the worldwide COVID19 pandemic. Now in my fifth year of studying the Tarot, I've found it to be a profoundly helpful guide during times of elation, crisis, and everything in between. As we enter Taurus season, we explore the card associated with this astrological sign--The Hierophant--and delve into its symbolism and how it can help guide us alongside Nine of Swords and The Tower cards as layering components to The Hierophant to support us during this turbulent time. We also explore the ebb and flow patterns of the Tarot, helping us navigate and balance our mind, body and spirit through the cyclical nature of Life. Much gratitude to organizations offering mental health support during the COVID19 crisis: Headspace is offering a wide range of free COVID19 coping tools. NYS Office of Mental Health offers specific services during COVID19 and an Emotional Support Hotline: 1-844-863-9314 As mentioned in the episode, I'm thankful for several people who inspire me through their teachings including: Tarot for the Wild Soul hosted by Lindsay Mack Cosmic Cousins hosted by Jeff Hinshaw Ghost of a Podcast hosted by Jessica Lanyadoo The Enchanted World created by Amy Zerner and Monte Farber The Lightseers Tarot by Chris-Anne I'm also grateful for the book "Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness" Rachel Pollack, available here on Amazon.

In this episode we wanted to honor the life of the late artist and tarot deck designer, David Palladini, so we talk a little about his life and career and do a full review of the Aquarian Tarot. Holly realizes we rarely say our podcast name and it becomes a running joke through the entire episode...WHOOPS! Our card of the day unsurprisingly reads the gals and exposes personal struggles they've been going through recently. For our listener questions we talk about reading reversals and do a reading about choices within a friendship. Deck of the Week: Aquarian Tarot by David Palladini Join our Wildly Tarot Facebook Group to interact with us between episodes! You can follow us on Instagram, and while you're there also follow Holly and Esther to see our favorite cards from this week's deck! Go forth and Tarot Wildly!
This episode may start out with a bit of silliness as a nod to National Knock Knock Joke Day, but the main topic of the day is the reverent observation of Samhain. This most sacred and solemn of the Pagan holidays occurs at the time of the traditional Celtic new year, and for Pagans today it is a time to remember those who have died. For many, the day is a time for communing and celebrating with loved ones who have passed and for seeking insight through divination. It is a time for quietude in the dark time of the year in the Northern hemisphere, a time for reassessment, and for looking forward to renewal. Wendy Sheridan, Mary McGinley, and Robin Renée each talk about which Samhain customs speak to them most and how they navigate enjoying the secular version of the celebration, Halloween, in the same time frame. Robin shares a Samhain poem that you can read on her website, and the three co-hosts interpret readings using handmade Viking runes, The Shakespeare Oracle, and The Aquarian Tarot. Wendy gives little-known information about the artist behind the classic Rider-Waite Tarot, Pamela Coleman Smith. In keeping with the Samhain and Halloween theme, October 31st is also National Magic Day and National Increase Your Psychic Powers Day. It is also Girl Scout Founder's Day. In the news, there is "creativity" involved in voter suppression and there are dueling hexes and prayers at work fighting a political fight in the metaphysical realm. Birthday shouts go out for Peter Jackson, Ethel Waters, Al Paxton, John Candy, Michael Landon, Neal Stephenson, Bernard Edwards, Willow Smith, and Piper Perabo, who Mary is happy to have worked with on a very funny play by George Bernard Shaw. Corrections: Mary and Wendy discuss how they were both right in Episode 21 about aspects of the plot of Sophie's Choice. They each had selective memory, combined with some conflation with Hobson's Choice. Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween! Things to do: Read: "Pamela Coleman Smith and the Erasure of Black Women in Metaphysics" VOTE on Tuesday, November 6th! httpss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC-H9gYFWGc
