Together, they explore how creating space, asking better questions, and learning to trust subtle inner signals can shift how you navigate decisions, career changes, and personal growth—reminding listeners that self-trust is a skill you can practice.If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

It's like, the universe slapped me in the face. It is like really, it is kind of like that, because Tarot never really tells you anything new. It just echoes what you already know and maybe what you're ignoring.Lesley Logan 0:14  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:53  Be It babe, just having the best day recording for you. I just have to say this, like, it's been one of the most wonderful day recording. But I also just want to say, like, this is a topic that, like, I was like, oh, I wonder how we could talk about this on the Be It pod. And then it got to like, you know, I really am interested in this. And then also it became even more important as we got into this conversation. So Frances Naudé is our guest today, and we're going to talk tarot, and even if you think you don't need to know about tarot, that's not what this episode is about. This episode is about how can we trust ourselves more? Can't be it till you see it if you don't have trust in who you are. And we talked a little bit about confidence and just really understanding, like what, what is going on inside of ourselves? And I just think that this is the most informative episode when it comes to self-trust and confidence that I've had in a long, long time. And I really can't wait for you to hear it. And there's also a history of where tarot came from that blew my fucking mind. Blew it, blew it. So here is Frances Naudé. Lesley Logan 1:56  Okay, Be It, babe. This, this topic I'm super excited about when one of our dear friends, friend of the pod, has been on the pod before, Kelly Hartling told me about this, when I was like, yeah, I am yes, how quickly can we get this person on? So this is the first time Frances Naudé and I are meeting, but this, this is something I'm very excited to talk about. So Frances, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Frances Naudé 2:19  Yes. Hello. Thank you for having me. As you said, I am Frances. I am a Reiki Master, energy healer, a tarot card reader. I am the creator of the Four Noble tarot deck, and I am a spiritual channel and spiritual mentor. So essentially, my purpose, my sole purpose here, is to help people heal and align and live their most authentic and joyful lives, and I do that through energy healing, which also supports the physical body, as well as tarot card readings. And the way that I work with tarot is very much in the present moment, while you know, fortune telling may have its place for me, I believe in free will, and so I prefer to focus on empowering people, helping them understand their own intuition, what I call their spiritual team. So bringing in all the good beings that surround you all the time, and allowing allowing that messaging to come through and really up level your human form and your human life here that we chose to have. Lesley Logan 3:16  Okay, so excited about this, because okay, so there's this person that I am. I have bought tarot decks. I don't really know what I'm doing with them, but I they're so beautiful, and they're so pretty and, like, I have friends like, oh, I drew a card today. I'm like, yeah, I'll do that. I'm gonna draw a card. And then I'm like, what does this card mean? I don't know what it means. All I know is it's either right side up or it's upside down. And then I'm like, okay, Google, watch us mean, and then it gives you a meaning. And I'm like, I do with that, though. So can you tell us a little about, can we go into that? Because I think, like, first of all, for the people are like, this is a double woo, LL, like, I'm not really sure. I don't call it a double woo anymore. I actually think it's another way, to me, I've seen people use it as like, not therapy, but a way to meditate, or way to explore, a way to understand themselves, or to ask themselves a different question for the day. So that's why I don't think it's a double woo. But what are we supposed to do with tarot?Frances Naudé 4:13  Yeah, so tarot, it does. I mean, you can work with it so many different ways. There are thousands of decks out there, and like, my number one thing is, if you want to work with tarot, use a deck that you like, not the deck that someone told you to use. Because your intuition, whether you are like, really great at listening to it and you totally understand it, or whether you're like, I don't, I kind of know, but, you know, I have a gut feeling, but I don't really work with it every day, it's still working right. So you are going to be drawn to a deck, whether it's the artwork, the colors, the whatever. And so work with that deck. Now your deck hopefully comes with a guidebook, and so with that, as you mentioned, or like Google, like, yeah, if you're Googling, that's great, you know, because tarot does require some study. You know, tarot cards, each one, there's 78 and each one has this specific definition from deck to deck, guidebook to guidebook, they will change a little bit, but they should have that like basic core every card means the same thing. Now, with my deck and the guidebook that I wrote, slash channeled, and when I say channel, if anyone is new here, this does sound very woo, but it is what I now super duper with all of me trust to be 100% true, and all of us can do this if we want to. We were designed as humans to do this. It's just we've been programmed to not but channeling is receiving from energy, God, universe, spirit, whatever it is that you believe in. So I channeled that and wrote the guidebook. And for me, as you said, sometimes you read it and you're like, okay, so what do I do? This guidebook and as well as many out there, I'm not just saying like, oh, buy mine, you know, they should hopefully be actionable as well. So this is how you're feeling, and here's what you can do with it. But there is also a way to rely on your intuition, right? So it's like, you pull a card and you're like, I don't know what this means. Let me look it up. And then maybe the death or the guidebook that you have says, you know, this means that you are overwhelmed, and you're like, well, duh, I'm overwhelmed. Then that could be a moment for you to check in and be like, okay, well, what's overwhelming me? What can I do about that? And so that's why it's really great. If you're newer to tarot, you know, to study the guidebook that you're working with, and also work with other people who can, like read for you, because they can kind of even just getting a reading one time. They can show you how to, sort of like work with the information that you're given. But tarot, it's a tool that's ultimately the way that I use it, at least it's a tool to gain information about myself through my own intuition from, again, what I call spiritual teams. Or it's just, like, as much as I really believe in the sacred nature of it, it's really fun. You know, people hire me for events all the time, and like, well, like, I'm the party trick, you know, and it's like a fun thing to do, but I really do believe that it is so informative if you allow it to be, and it really can be whatever you want it to be, it's like meditation, right? If you want to meditate and have some really big, profound experience, that's what it's going to be for you. Or if you want to do a one minute visualization, that's what it's going to be for you. It doesn't really matter what you're doing, it's how it's serving you and how you're working with it, and what you're receiving from it.Lesley Logan 7:25  Yeah, because the way you're describing it, too, is it's almost like, instead of like, letting the card tell you how you're feeling or what you should be doing, it's a, it's a, it's asking you, ideally, to go within and explore. What does that mean, and where is this coming from, and what, what does it mean for me? So you, you're not going, oh, I have to follow this card, because that's what it says today. And instead, it's like to follow myself. And what is this card kind of asking me to focus on today, because there's so many different things we could focus on in the world at one given time. So, like, it's kind of giving you a thing to think about.Frances Naudé 7:57  Exactly and it's funny too. Like, if you get on, you know, like the tarot side of Instagram, or TikTok or whatever it is, there's these memes, and it'll be like, you know, even in comparison to oracle cards. So if anyone listening is like, well, wait, I have an Oracle Card Deck. What's the difference between Oracle and tarot? Okay, very briefly, tarot again, 78 cards. There's always going to be 78 cards, and every card should have a similar meaning between decks Oracle, fair game and typically, Oracle cards are also channeled by the author, but they're a little bit softer and lighter. Oracle cards are very actionable. That was actually my inspiration when writing my guidebook was like, exactly what you said, What do I do? So I wrote it similar to an Oracle Card guidebook rooted in tarot, so it was very actionable. But going back to the meme having that differentiation, the Oracle card, it'll be like, oh, I pulled an Oracle card today, and it's like, universe gave me a hug, and then it's like, oh, I pulled a tarot card today. It's like, universe slapped me in the face. Really, it is kind of like that, because Tarot never really tells you anything new, it just echoes what you already know and maybe what you're ignoring. A lot of times, when I do readings for people, you know they're like, I knew that. And I'm like, I know you did. You just needed a complete stranger who knows nothing about your life to tell you that you can trust yourself. And my favorite thing ever, as much as I love my clients, is when I don't see them for a while because I'm like, you're doing it. You are doing the thing, right? It's like, when you graduate from therapy and your therapist is like, you can come once every three months now, or whenever you feel like it, instead of weekly, like you've learned the tools. So it does provide information in terms of, like, if I ask, you know, what's the energy of the situation, or should I take this path or this path? Though spirit will never give you a clear answer. It's always going to be your choice, but they can kind of show you, like the energy of this decision A versus decision B, and then it's like, okay, so what do you want with that? Um, so ultimately, yeah, it's information, at least the way that I work with it. And again, there are many ways to work with it, but for me, it really is all about empowerment and helping people be able to, like, navigate their own inner world and inner wisdom and then apply that forward.Lesley Logan 10:14  Okay, so excited. Okay, so I guess two, two questions. And I hate when I do two at the same time, but I'm gonna do it. One, where did tarot come from? And two, how did you get into it? Because if you're so passionate about it. Like, clearly, like it, there's some, there's something there, so, but I do, like, you know, like, I know Joe Pilates created Pilates. Like, who is Mr. Taro, or Mrs. Taro, or they tarot. Like, where did it come from?Frances Naudé 10:38  Yes, okay, so many origin stories of tarot, but what I have learned, and what I teach to my students, is that tarot actually originated, oh, I can't say originated, but very early on, was used in the church. Tarot was also a game. So tarot cards, it was like the game Tarot. I have no idea how that game works. It is a game. And then people started receiving, like, the same information through the imagery, and then started using it. I don't love this word, but like the occult, if you've ever seen that, to me, that feels like, really, like heavy in a way, but that is the history of it. And then it was often adopted by the church. But what I understand from this is that people were playing tarot, using tarot, and when the printing press was invented, it became really widely spread, right? So in the tarot deck, there, this will make sense why I'm saying this in a second, in the tarot deck, there are five suits, so the first four we call the Minor Arcana. And those resemble a playing card deck, right? So diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, we have swords, pentacles, cups and wands. Then we have the fifth suit, which is the Major Arcana. The Major Arcana are like names, so it's like The Moon, The Hermit, The Empress, like they are themes. And back in the day, many people would have artists, so wealthy people who could afford to hire an artist, would have like images drawn for their major suit, for their major death, right? But if you wanted a tarot deck, you had to commission it. You had to find an artist who could do the drive. So then come the printing press. We didn't have to do that anymore, right? So decks were more readily available, which means that this tool was more readily available. The Church didn't like that, because it was putting power in the hands of the people instead of going to whatever your religious leader was. And so they took it back and they demonized it, right? Like many organized religions, tarot is evil, tarot is paganism. Tarot is.Lesley Logan 12:51  Oh I was raised with that. It was terrible, terrible, yeah. Frances Naudé 12:51  Totally, when I do events, people look at me and like, some people are like, oh, I'm so excited. And some people are like, and they like, walk away.Lesley Logan 12:59  I'm going straight to hell. It's happening. Frances Naudé 13:03  Yeah, I'm like, I swear I'm normal, and this is fun. But so that is, like one of the, or two of the origins, well, I guess, like a one very convoluted world of tarot, um, and then over time, obviously, you know, people were still practicing it. It was just seen. It was, it was the church was successful, because if you had tarot cards, you were going against the church, right? So it became this, like, kind of dark thing. And then we had the original tarot deck, which is the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck. This is still widely available. Obviously, it's been like, modernized and the colors have popped, but I think it's like, like, you can get it on Amazon or bookstores or anything like that. And if anyone is looking for it, it's R-I-D-E-R dash W-A-I-T-E and I will say, if you are learning tarot to become you know, like a seasoned professional, I would recommend starting with that deck. The imagery in that deck is super, super, like every single little image represents something. So if you want to really, like deep dive into tarot study Rider-Waite and then you can start using whatever deck you want. But that's like the OG deck, okay? And then how I began working with tarot. Honestly, it's like, so I don't remember exactly, you know, it's kind of like, it's, it's foggy when you look back, because you pick something up and you're like, this is never gonna like, this isn't anything. This is just a fun thing. And then you're like, oh, this is my job now. But I started, so I started with energy work. Well, I started with, well, I started in corporate, then I was deeply unhappy. So I started taking night classes, and I got my health coach certification, and that was like, closer to the thing. Whatever the thing was, it was closer, but it wasn't quite it. Then I did my yoga teacher certification. I'd always been a dancer, and I was like, I love, you know, the body and all of that. I'm going to do yoga thinking it was more exercise. But then my favorite part of yoga teacher training was the philosophical side of it, and you're learning all the yogic principles and all of that, and that really led me down the path of energy. So then I started studying Reiki, and then from Reiki, I started studying tarot. And I was, like, such a dork. I like, printed out every single description, and like, studied and was highlighting and all of it. And now I'm, like, actually so grateful for my past self for doing that. Because now, if someone were like, you need to study the definitions of 78 tarot cards, I'd be like, there's just no, I don't have time for that. But at the time, it was like, I was like, eating it up, like anything that I could get. And then, yeah, I just started taking clients, not ever thinking it would be anything. And I was working multiple jobs at a time, and because I eventually left corporate, and then I was had a bunch of side gigs, and also doing, you know, Reiki and tarot. And then one day, I was like, oh, my God. Why am I so overwhelmed? Like, why am I so tired? I was like, oh, because you're doing, like, seven things and I was so blessed that I was able to finally build up my clientele where I could let those other pieces go. And it was such a dream come true. I couldn't believe that this was like my full time gig after many, many, many years, but it was, yeah.Lesley Logan 16:13  I love I love that it was a nonlinear way for you. Because I do think everyone has to hear that, whether you're into the tarot part of the story or not. Like, just knowing that we all end up somewhere where we think it's supposed to be because of what we were told, which, you know, as you start to the more you start to hear stories of what like we're told is going to make us happy. And then then you hear, like, just the things that, like, some things were available, and then someone decided that they're not available anymore. And like, you know, like you start to realize, like, oh, it's not bad that you started in corporate, because it led you to where you are, and it allows you to recognize people, and also some people will always be in corporate, and that's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. But like, no one's journey to figuring out what they want to be and what they're really called to do is linear. It happens to be like, oh, what's down this door? Oh, I really am interested in that. Hold on, what's this over here? And I just think that that's so fascinating. Okay, so I love that you said, like, if I started to pick up trying to learn 78 decks, 78 cards, right now, I probably wouldn't. I'm like, right here going, how long would it take me to learn 70? Because it's actually quite funny, because I teach Pilates teachers every year I work with Pilates teachers who already be teaching, but I'll teach them over 500 exercises every year, right and, and I don't think I quite understood, like, what I was embarking on when I became a Pilates instructor. And I think today, like, wow, could I learn 500 right now? Like, learn them the way I learned them? But if somebody does want to pick this up as a hobby or just something that they're like, wanting to explore more. Obviously, you gave us that original deck that could be a great one. And also, like what your intuition is like, you know what you like, but what do you do? Do you draw one a day? Do you do it when you meditate? Do you do it when you need it? Like, how do you use it? Frances Naudé 17:54  Yeah, so for someone who wants, like, daily use for themselves, I would say, just do it when you feel called. I love pulling a card a day. It's a great way to get acquainted with the deck. You can read from the guidebook. You can Google like you're learning as you go, right? Because that that's the whole point. And even if you don't memorize it, that's okay, you're still receiving the information. So I think one a day is awesome if you have a meditation practice or you want to create one, you can add that in so like pull a card, see what it says. Meditate for five minutes, what's coming through for you? You know what? What did you receive from that 10 minute practice? That's what I love about tarot is especially for people who have limited time, whether you have kids or you have a demanding job, or you struggle to focus for a while, or whatever it is, it's so tangible that you can actually, like, take it in these bite sized pieces, and then maybe one day, you're like, I want to pull three cards, or I want to pull 10 cards. So that's option one is kind of just pulling to see what comes through. The other is, if you're in an area where or a time in life, we're like, I need guidance, like, I need some info. I need some some clarity. That's a great time to pull tarot, right? And you can literally ask the cards your question. Now I hesitate with yes no's, so reframing your questions is important. So for example, let's say it's like, should I take this job? Yes or no? maybe I would change it to, what is the energy of taking this job, pull a card. What is the energy of rejecting this job? Pull a card, and you can see energetically which one is lighter. If you get two cards that are light, that's universe being like both both options are a great choice for you, and it's just gonna lead down a different path. You know, that's something I've learned in this work, is if you are being presented with options, there's no right or wrong choice, there's just different paths. And so this is about really like listening to what path you want, right? Maybe, like, option one, the card that you get is, like, you know, I don't know, very warm, like the Sun card, right? That's warmth, that's growth. It's, you know, it feel, it feels like summer, so there's a lot of energy in it that. But maybe, and then maybe the other card is a little bit more money focused, right? Like, 10 of pentacles, that's money, that's family, right? So you're like, oh, I can have abundance and a family. I want that. But then if you're someone who's like, I want to be a CEO, maybe you run down, you go down that Sun path, right? So it's, it's highlighting options for you. So I think number one, to answer your question, it's, yeah, a daily practice pulling a card. That's great. You'll learn as you go. Number two, ask them questions. If you have them, one of my favorite questions, which is still very broad, and this is always how I start my personal readings for myself, is, what do I need to know right now? Like, what do you what do you want to tell me right now? What do I need to know right now? If I have specific questions, I'll ask them. But usually the what do I need to know right now is pretty like they will point out your stressors, or, you know, where you're feeling lack of clarity, or whatever it may be. And then I think for people who want to, like, really dive in, there just is no other way but to study like you just you got to study, and you have to practice, practice with yourself. But the best way to learn to read tarot cards is to actually practice on other people, because that pressure of like, oh my god, someone's waiting for me to tell them something. It's forcing you to get out of your own way. It's forcing you to shut that brain off and just dive in. I imagine it's like teaching your first Pilates class where you're standing out there and you're like, oh my god, oh my god. There are all of these people staring at me, waiting for me to tell them what to do like I just got to go that's similar with tarot. And once you do like those first five to 10, you learn to trust yourself, and then it makes reading cards for yourself a lot easier. I always like to tell people reading cards for yourself in the beginning is way harder than reading for other people. So if you really want to start like developing this practice, do it for other people and trust yourself. And then final piece, final tip for if you're learning cards, is find a deck whose imagery speaks to you because the imagery is informative of the message. So I'll show you an example, or I'll give an example here. Let's say, okay, this card, I'll describe it. This is 10 of swords. Okay, so it's this woman sitting on a tombstone. I know it sounds really intense, but there's ivy growing all over it. There's the 10 swords, which is representative, you know, of of the of the card. And then there's a moon there. And this card is all about completion, right? This is about ending of cycles. This is about death, right? And not physical death, but, you know, the death of something. And so if I were brand new to tarot and I looked at this card, I would probably be like, oh, okay, that's a tombstone. So she's alive, though something changed. She's like, you know, I would get something from this. So that's a really beautiful way to learn with tarot, is like, reading from the imagery itself, and then, like, really trusting yourself. That was a lot of insight, sorry.Lesley Logan 23:13  Frances, you're, it's so fun because, like, it's all the questions, like you're answering questions I didn't even know I had, but also the overarching theme I'm getting from all of this, and I think that, like, it's so funny, I kind of feel like I was, like, part of my life was stolen from me by being told that tarot was, like, paganism is that like, it continues to ask you to trust what's coming up for you? Like, even, you know, like, even if you're reading for a friend, you're asking them the question. It's like, you know, like it's, you're looking at the card, but you're asking them the question, like, oh, something's coming to a completion. Like, it's not, it's, it's not someone else telling you something, it's asking to go within. And I think, like in today's world, with everything that's going on, there's so many things asking us to focus on all this other stuff that we're not, very few people are focusing on themselves and how they actually feel and what their energy is. And so having a practice, even if it's once a week or once a day, to like, go, what is this telling me right now? Oh, this is about overwhelm, or this is about abundance. Oh, I do have a lot in my life right now, like just having that moment to check in and with ourselves, like some of us need that physical thing to do that.Frances Naudé 24:25  Yeah, 100% that's that's what I do. Like again, when I don't see clients, I'm like, oh my god, I miss them, but I'm so happy because that means that they've been able to trust themselves intuition or gut feelings or inner wisdom, whatever it is that you want to call it for yourself, it is so silenced by noise. And so social media, TV, like, how many as we wake up, we roll over. Instagram, yeah, we wake up, we roll over, put on the news. We wake up like, you know, we just like, get in this cycle. And so, as you said, yeah, this. 510, minutes. Sometimes you don't even need to pull the card. It's literally just the sitting down. It's like, oh, I've given myself this 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes of space. Like, what's coming up in here? And it is, and it's, it's, but this is the thing, because you said this, and I'm going to highlight it, it's listening. But the key point is trusting and learning how to trust your intuition is, in my opinion, like the secret sauce to life, because if we, it sends us down some wild path sometimes, like the scariest ones, the riskiest ones, but it's always the ones who, where you're like, yeah, this is it. And it lights you up. And even going back to, like, what you said with, you know, like, if I were to go back and teach five or learn 500 things, like, think about yourself at that time, me too. Like, learning the tarot, it's like, oh my god. Like I was so jazzed to learn that, like, I couldn't wait to, and now it's become a part of you. So there's that integration, but that lighting up like, that is your intuition talking, even though it's probably a little scary too, it's like, that is, it's never gonna steer you down the wrong path. Lesley Logan 26:15  Yeah. But also, like, how, like, you just said, like, it's trusting your intuition. Like, by the way, if, you're unstoppable, if you can trust yourself. And that's like, now, like, I have so many different thoughts and like about like, of course, people don't want us doing that. They because then we don't listen to them. We don't listen to what they think that we should be buying or or believing or doing, you know, because otherwise you are, you're following someone else's path versus the one that's your own. Oh, this is deep, okay, I do want to ask you this. It's been on my heart this whole show, because it's like, it's be it till you see it. And part of that is like acting like the person that you want to be and becoming that person, all that stuff. But along the way, there are some certain people's paths of being until you see it, that could get some interesting eyes. I cannot imagine that you would tell people at a family reunion, I'm becoming a tarot reader, and people don't go, what? Like was it, was your family like, yeah, you do you, babe. Or were people like, are you okay? Are you sure? Like.Frances Naudé 27:17  Yeah. So, oh, the things I've had said to me or about me, those are the funniest ones where I'm like, okay, I had friends parents call them, like, is Frances, okay? You know? Because, like, sometimes I would channel live on Instagram, and people would be like, like, has she gone off the deep end? Like, are we good here? I've had a lot of people. The ones that hurt me the most were actually friends, or like people in our friend group, I say, I mean, my husband, it was mostly his friends. So I shouldn't care, because as much as I love anyone of any gender or or no gender, I really don't care what a 25 year old dude thinks about me, but it still hurt. And what it showed me was like, I guess, like my own fears and like my own (, because I had a lot of those specific people be like, honestly, telling me I was ripping people off, like having people pay money for a placebo effect and like that just like, broke my heart because I was like, I, this is life changing. Like, this helps people. And fine, you don't have to be the person that it helps. I'm not going to ever force anyone, but don't, like, bash it till you've tried it, essentially. So those ones really hurt. The Frances, you're crazy. I would just kind of laugh along and be like, yeah, for sure. You know, like, my first disclaimer when I tell people what I do is, I promise I'm normal. Because you tell somebody you're a tarot card reader or you're a Reiki healer and you work within people's energy, they're like, that's not a thing. And I'm like, I understand that it's hard to understand, but it is. But my family, specifically, you know, my mom was always super supportive. She went on a very long, like, religious and spiritual journey throughout her whole life. She and I are pretty aligned on our beliefs. I wasn't raised with this, but it's funny. In retrospect, I look back and I actually think my grandmother, she never really talked about it, but she always had crystals, and was, like, really educated, and love reading books about philosophy and the brain, and so I think now I wish, and I have a great relationship with her, you know, on the other side, and it's, it's lovely, but I do sometimes wish that I could be an adult with her still outside, so I could, like, have these conversations with her. I'm sure some of them would be like, Frances, no, and then some of them would be really interesting. My dad was the funniest one because he he never was not supportive for him. It was more, am I going to be okay financially, like, business-wise, right? Like, am I am I okay? But now he'll kind of ask me questions about little things, or if he has, like, a minor injury or something he'd like, can you give Reiki, and then he'll, like, go tell all of his friends that his knee feels better or something. And, you know, it's and like, even my husband, he's funny too, with it. Like, I know they kind of believe it. They just don't, I know they believe it. They just don't want to admit they believe it. But like, before, when he was still growing in his career, anytime he had an interview or something, he'd be like, can you can you give me Reiki like the night before? And so I know that they feel it and they receive from it, or with tarot, even, like I read my husband's cards every once in a while, or even, you know, it's funny, my tarot cards have told me twice that I was pregnant and they were right both times, you know. So even for our family, and family planning like that has been really cool. So I think the more people receive from it themselves, the more that they understand it. But I definitely get a lot of looks and a lot of words, and I've learned to let it roll off, but it's part of it's part of it. When you do something different. I'm sure you've experienced that, too. Lesley Logan 30:59  Oh, I mean, 100% and I think, like, the interesting thing about what you said is, like, the things that sting are the things that you kind of have a worry of, like, are people going to think this, right? And of course, then that's the criticism that you hear the loudest, even if it was from the people who are the quietest voices in your life. Like, if they were to say, you have nice hair, you probably wouldn't even remember, like, it'd be, you know what I mean, if it was a compliment, because it's like, oh, okay, that's, you know, like, it's not like that you don't listen to them, but they don't act. Their opinion doesn't really mean anything. But when they say the thing that you are like, internally worried that people would think about you, that's where we can get hung up. But it also sounds like, you know, in being it till we see it, and whatever our dream is when we do something that is outside of society's norms of what our career should be, you kind of just have to believe in yourself and like, trust that as people see the results of it, whether it's in what people you're doing with other people or themselves, that they kind of buy in. And you have to, you can't wait for them to you have to do it. You have to keep going and showing them this is what it is, and believing in yourself to make it happen. Yes, no, I have a as a Pilates instructor. I do travel the world, which doesn't make sense, because people literally on a plane, they're like, What are you doing? Like, oh, I'm gonna go to Poland for the weekend. And they're like, to do what? Like, I have to teach. And they're like, teach about like, it's just not gonna make any sense. I'm gonna teach Pilates. And they're like, don't they have Pilates in Poland, I'm like, correct, which is why I'm yes, I I don't know how to explain to you that I have this weird role in the industry, because it doesn't make sense to people, but also, like, it's why we do what we do. It's not because it's weird, but it's because we're so called to do it, and people want to be around that. And so it's just really cool. Thank you for sharing all the different parts of that story, because I do think it can be hard to change the career, to do the thing like, to go from the stable corporate job to like, yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna change people's energies for a living. Like that can make people go, oh, okay. Are you okay? Are you okay? But we have to, we have to be okay with it is the ultimate thing, because other you can't otherwise, you're not going to make it. You know, I firmly believe that, like neither one of us would be here if we had actually waited for other people to deem us sane. It's a good idea. Frances Naudé 33:15  100% and it's one of those things too. I mean, even going back to everything, you say, be it till you see it, see it. It's like, it's not that you're in the beginning, especially and even now. Like, there's times I'm like, what am I what am I doing? Like, what do I do? Like, what am I doing? Okay, I guess I'm doing like, it's it has been almost a decade, but it's like, it's not that you have the confidence, it's that you trust so deeply that what you're doing is what you're supposed to be doing, that you do it scared anyways, and that builds the confidence, right? It's like, okay, well, yes, that was a good class, or that was a good day, or that was an amazing session, or this person told me for the first time, or they told me that this was the first time they've ever felt seen or understood by anyone. And I'm like, the first time in your sometimes, what, 72 years like, I work with people of all ages that you felt seen like that? It's not for me. It's like, wait, I think I'm I think I'm helping people. I think maybe I can do this. And it's not that I, you know, you go into that that session being like, yes, I'm fantastic. You know, you hope that you you gain that confidence along the way, but it really is about like doing it scared because everyone is gonna problem. Most people will tell you not to, and even the people that are encouraging. You can feel their doubt. You know, you can feel that they're like, I hope this works for you, not you got this. You can do this. So it's like, you have to be that for yourself, right? And I remember too for me, I was like, well, this is either going to happen or it's not. But it's either going to not today, or it's going to not ever, and it is going to happen at some point, but those are the only two options. So I'm either going to choose that it's not or I'm going to keep walking this path, hoping and encouraging myself and showing up for myself and these people and making it happen. And if universe comes in the way and stops me and I fall on my butt. Okay. It wasn't supposed to happen, but I would rather it's kind of like I better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all and then never to have loved at all. Yeah, right, like I'm rather going to go down this path. Then maybe the reason I not do it because I listen to all of these people and all of these old stories and everything else, like, makes no sense. And this is also what I've learned through channeling. God is literally begging you to just listen to yourself, to just do the thing that's like one of the main sole reasons that are that we choose to, if you believe in this, that you choose to incarnate in human form, is to get to do stuff, spirit, doesn't we I mean, I'm sure it does. I know that it does things, but it doesn't have this vessel. We don't get to be on this amazing, beautiful planet, connecting with other people like we chose to be here, and that was always a driving factor to me, is, like you chose to be here, what are you going to do with this life? Are you really going to waste it doing something that you didn't want to do, you know. Lesley Logan 36:24  And like, you just, what it brought up for me is, like, better to have loved than than and lost and never have loved at all. Better to go down the path. And why do we consider it a failure, right? Unless, instead of like, oh, it actually led you to this. Like, if you hadn't gone to corporate, you wouldn't have been interested in health coaching, because you're like, I hate this. And then with health coaching, you're like, oh, I really like this yoga. And I didn't hear you once say, well, I failed as a yogi, but I really like the philosophy. I didn't hear that at all. I heard you say that led me to this, and this led me to this. And I think it's a way of us reframing, like, what is failure as a instead of like, what is it actually guiding us towards? Everything we do, everything we learn from it, is guiding us to the next thing, and it's giving us the knowledge we need to do whatever we're supposed to be doing, you know, like, so, I mean, I just think that that's just a takeaway from your story is, like, really, truly, how can we, how can we actually just reframe that everything is just part of the path. It's all part of the journey. Frances Naudé 37:16  Stepping stones, and even using that, like, applying that forward, like, if you look back at your life, you like, if people are in a state of feeling stuck or lost or confused, it's like, okay, well, what can I learn like if I look backwards, what are the things like okay this led me to. This led me to. This led me to this. Was I operating from a place of excitement, or was I operating from a place of fear or escapism, trying to get out of something, right? And so it's like, I work with so many people who have regret, and they're like, why didn't I do this? Or I feel so lost, or I don't know. It's like, let's not, you know, bash yourself for any past decisions. Let's learn from them. Exactly as you said, it's like, I literally see it in my mind's eye as stairs like you want to stay on this stair. This isn't the destination. It's up there. So we have to go, and it's going to be hard and we're going to get tired, but, like, really using it as a tool to learn from whatever it is that you've experienced.Lesley Logan 38:14  Yeah, oh my god, this conversation has been so fun. I'm just so grateful that we connected. Like, I've I really have wanted to, like, have this as a topic and as more personal, but also, like, I feel like, even though the the topic is tarot, the true actual thing is, like trusting yourself, just like just trusting yourself. And if we can do that, we can, we can be it till we see it on anything. Frances, I could talk to you forever but I want to take a brief break and then find out how people can find you, follow you, and work with you. Lesley Logan 38:42  Okay, Frances, where do you hang out? Where can we send people? They're ready to nerd out. They want, they want to understand how to trust themselves. Where they where can they go? Frances Naudé 38:52  So I'm on Instagram and Tiktok and YouTube and all the places it's @FrancesNaude, F-R-A-N-C-E-S-N-A-U-D-E and francesnaude.com is my website. I do sessions for people all over the world remotely, and I also have a small studio space in Orange County, California. So if you are nearby, hit me up and we can meet in person. But yeah, in the in the online space, I do free tarot card readings every Monday on YouTube and share all kinds of stuff on Instagram and trying to get on TikTok. But I'm not gonna lie, I am definitely a millennial, so.Lesley Logan 39:30  I see you. I feel you. The girl I just interviewed before this. She's like, I post on there, but don't DM or comment. I won't respond. And I was like, yeah, my team keeps threatening to do it. And I was like, I just can't, like, there's just I can't do it. YouTube and Instagram are enough, and maybe one is a dying breed, and it's I'm okay, but my people are there because they don't want to do it. You know, so I feel you, millennials unite. Okay. You've given us so much already, but bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it to be it till they see it. What do you have for us? Frances Naudé 40:00  As mentioned, learn how to hear and trust your intuition that is going to be that is going to lead you down the best path in any way, if you're in a challenging situation, if you are feeling inspired do that. And so may I give a brief practice for how to do that, because. Lesley Logan 40:02  I would love one, because there are perfectionists listening and they would like the step by step plan, please.Frances Naudé 40:25  Okay, amazing, amazing, amazing. So, yeah, someone telling you, trust your intuition is like someone saying, just be positive, right? It Like It's, it's a great piece of guidance. But how do we do that? So my practice is choose something that you do every single day that's a decision. Okay? So whether it is picking out like, let's say you love a certain flavor of tea, and every morning you like to make your tea, you're going to pick your tea bag, right? They're all the same. What tea bag? What is the tea bag that you're choosing? And then pause once you grabbed it and check in with your body. What does that feel like in your body? You can do this at the grocery store, right? You need, I don't know, five oranges and there's 100 in front of you, right? Which are the five that you're picking? Logic is going to come in a little bit. Maybe that one, the skin is broken, or that one's dirty, or whatever. But between 10 perfect oranges and you're only buying five, when you grab the orange that feels right to you, stop for a second. What does that feel like in your body? What does that feel like in your energy? What does that feel like in your head? Start to practice. I actually practice this with my underwear when I'm choosing my underwear every day, because I know that it's something that I'm going to be doing every single day. What is the underwear? And it's so funny, sometimes I'll touch this black pair and it's not the right one. And so I touch the other black pair. I'm like, yeah, this is the one. There is no I'm like, fathomable reason why the underwear is the right underwear. They're the exact same. But that is my daily practice, because then, when it comes to big decisions, you've already built that muscle. You already know how to use it. You already know how to trust it. Your intuition often will not make logical sense and it will not be loud. People always expect these really big like moments or like the clouds part and the sun shines through. Intuition is really quiet. So step three is, or item number three with that is, it's going to be quiet, but now it's, we have to make space for it. That is the piece to be able to hear it, right? It's, it's so important. So even going back to tarot or meditation or walking outside, or whatever it is, you have to make space to hear your intuition, because, again, building that muscle. When things are loud, you want to already have it built right? It's kind of like. Lesley Logan 42:55  Yeah, I hear you. It's just like it when, when there's so much noise around you, if you aren't attuned to that quiet voice, you're not going to hear it. You have to like, yeah, yeah. That makes so much sense to me. And you are correct. I can think of two times three actually. Now I think three times my life where I heard that intuition, and it is so, so quiet, so quiet. And if you aren't you might could miss it. You can go, what is that? You know?Frances Naudé 43:23  And it also feels, I also like to tell people, your intuition often feels like a thought, but how to be able to differentiate it is, you'll be like, either, yes, it'll be very quiet, or you'll be like, where did that come from? Like, why was I thinking that, right? Oh, and I was saying, like, intuition often leads you down the scary path. Yeah, you know that that the because, it has to. It's expanding that comfort zone. It's getting that wider. It's also going to challenge your beliefs, your old stories that were probably not even written by you, and your fears, right? It's expanding you wider. It's getting you out of that comfort zone. And so as you are learning to work with your intuition, I also encourage you to learn you can choose the word that fits for you. I call it your highest self, but this could be your true self. This could be your soul self, whatever the word is for you, the place that exists without ego. And when I say ego, I mean the human brain, so fears, worries, anxieties, etc. And without we talked about this a lot, without the other, so, other people's stories, other people's fears. A lot of us have other people's fears, specifically our family members, going back, sometimes generations. We don't even know we have them. I work a lot with this in Reiki, where they're not ours. It doesn't even apply to us in our in our situation, but we've been conditioned so making sure that you know who that highest self is, that soul self is. I am Frances, and I, you know we're talking in present tense so I live an intuitively aligned life, which means I let joy lead I do not let fear get in my way, and I live in unity with all that's around me, right? And so if I can identify those three pillars to what my soul self is, every decision I make should be aligned with those three things, and then combine it with that intuitive strength, you're just walking that aligned path like no matter what, it's going to be scary, there's going to be challenges. We're still human. But that is truly like, what I've learned through my personal practice, through working with other people, is that key. So, if nothing else, learn how, like, start developing that intuitive muscle, because it is imperative for daily decisions, and also those, those big ones when they come.Lesley Logan 45:52  Yeah, oh gosh, so good. You're so good. Frances, thank you so much. I can not only imagine, like, how many people down the road are like, thank God I heard that, because I can now say that you trust yourself, and I think that's one of the biggest gifts we can give people today.

On New Year's Day, Cyndera Quackenbush welcomes Julienne (Jules) Givot back to the Archetypal Tarot Podcast to revive a long-standing tradition: a collective archetypal and tarot reflection for the coming year. The episode serves as a contemplative portal blending tarot, archetypal psychology, lived experience, and cultural reflection after a difficult and grief-laden 2025. The core archetype drawn for the year is The Amateur, selected from the Identity Pursuit archetype board game (no longer in print). Rather than framing the future through mastery or expertise, the hosts explore the Amateur as a figure of humility, love, experimentation, and community. Light aspects of the Amateur: Doing something for love rather than reward or compensation Following the heart without needing certainty or expertise Allowing messiness, openness, and shared learning Creating the path by walking it, together Shadow aspects: Undervaluing oneself or one's work Exaggerating or misrepresenting skill or authority Cultural dangers of “false experts” and influencer culture lacking depth, lineage, or accountability The Amateur becomes a response to collapsing patriarchal systems, toxic productivity, and ego-driven power structures. In a time of upheaval, the hosts argue that not knowing—and admitting we don't know—is both honest and necessary. Community Over Heroism A recurring insight is the movement away from the lone hero narrative. Healing and survival are framed as collective, relational processes, not individual burdens. The Amateur archetype supports community-based learning, mutual care, and shared responsibility, especially amid political violence, war, and systemic injustice. Cyndera shares personal experiences offering donation-based tarot readings illustrating how amateur energy can reduce pressure, invite openness, and foster authentic connection—while still raising questions about value, sustainability, and self-worth. Two additional archetype cards pop out in the podcast! Listen in to hear all about The Poet and The Victim. Tarot Card for 2026: Judgment Cyndera draws Judgment from the Major Arcana, using Natasia Rowland's Tarot Emblemata deck. Key interpretations: Awakening after devastation Truth revealed; what was hidden can no longer stay hidden Liberation from old constraints (symbolized by broken shackles) A collective rising—not individual salvation Judgment is framed not as punishment, but as reckoning, clarity, and rebirth. It echoes upcoming astrological themes (notably the Fire Horse year) suggesting that small sparks from 2025 may explode into unavoidable illumination in 2026. The hosts close by weaving the Amateur and Judgment together: It's okay not to know. It's not all on our shoulders. Love, community, creativity, and faith (in whatever form) are sustaining forces. The future is not about perfection or mastery, but participation. Mantra for 2026: Be amateurs. Love what you do. Rise together. 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10. After the recording of the podcast (on January 1) a rainbow was visible in Joshua Tree, CA. Is it possible that collectively we can welcome a “10 of Cups” kind of year?

Happy Winter Solstice, Enchanted Sister.

Join Jeff Hinshaw as we explore the rare and powerful alignment of the Sagittarius New Moon with the Galactic Center at 28° Sagittarius. This final New Moon of 2025 invites us to plant intentions that reach beyond the personal, tapping into collective consciousness, cosmic vision, and universal belonging. Through astrology, somatic practices, music, and storytelling, we dive into ways to embody this expansive energy in both personal growth and relational connection. Overall Episode Themes: Universality, cosmic belonging, expansive vision, relational transmission, integration of astrology, tarot, art, music, science, and ritual. Emphasizes releasing limiting beliefs and tapping into a field larger than personal will.   Main Topics Discussed: 1. Sagittarius New Moon & Galactic Center Sagittarius New Moon: Marks the close of Sagittarius season and approaches the Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere). Galactic Center: Rotational and gravitational center of the Milky Way, astrologically at 27° Sagittarius. Known as a cosmic amplifier, transmitting universal truth, insight, and awakening. Current Alignment: New Moon at 28° Sagittarius (~1° from the Galactic Center) amplifies themes of collective vision, meaning-making, and cosmic orientation. Ritual & Reflection Practices: Embodiment/Somatic Connection: Breathwork, lengthening spine, and stretching inner horizons during meditation. Seed Planting & Intention Setting: Use mantras like “I expand. I envision. I arise.” and pull a tarot card for each intention. Personal Reflection: Jeff shares how his own chart (Uranus, Ceres, Saturn near the Galactic Center in 11th house) connects his work to cosmic and collective themes. 2. Steven Spielberg's Chart: Galactic Center in Action Birthdate: December 18, 1946 Key Placements: Sun in Sagittarius conjunct Galactic Center Scorpio Moon conjunct Chiron (5th House) Cancer Rising Black Moon Lilith conjunct Sun Interpretations: Sun GC: Cosmic storytelling, transpersonal vision.

Interview with Hannah Ramone On this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Seattle-based queer pop singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music teacher, and astrologer Hannah Ramone. We listen to four of Hannah's songs, “Had It Lost It,” “Clarity,” “Fight Your Devil,” and “Taught Me to Love”.  These songs serve as touchstones for depth, healing, collaboration, and truth-telling, all while exploring Sagittarian themes of meaning-making, collective vision, and creative fire. The conversation moves fluidly between Hannah's musical journey and astrological practice, tracing early beginnings in a deeply musical family, a lifelong relationship with songwriting as vision and ritual, and the Virgoan devotion required to bring inspired Sagittarian ideas into form. We hope you enjoy!!       Cosmic Cousins Links Cosmic Cousins Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey

Welcome to Day 1 of the Twelve Days of Yule here at The Sisters Enchanted!

On this weeks' episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw first guides you through a deep dive exploration of the current transits connected to this Gemini Full Moon.  Then, Jeff is joined by one of his cosmic siblings, the incredibly talented Gemini, Mary Evans of Spirit Speak. Together, they flutter into the mutable magic of Gemini through storytelling, curiosity, and duality. Mary and Jeff explore Gemini archetypes across astrology, popular culture, and personal experience, including butterfly symbolism inspired by Dolly Parton's “Love Is Like a Butterfly.” The conversation also delves into personal and spiritual experiences, from Mary's childhood encounters with death and spirit guides to reflections on how these formative experiences shape creativity, art-making, deck creation, and teaching. Mary is the founder of Spirit Speak Tarot, and the creator of six tarot and oracle decks, so naturally the conversation also explores tarot and divination.  This includes Temperance and the Lovers, reflecting Gemini's adaptability, duality, and relational dynamics. She also discusses her work with children and adults through school programs, art workshops, and community-based “Witch Craft" arts and crafts nights, highlighting the spiritual and creative development fostered through art. And towards the end of their conversation, we listen to the song "Oh My God" by Gemini Ryan Allen Gray's, providing a lens on Gemini themes of queerness, religious trauma and integration of self. Listener questions spark final discussions on fashion as archetypal expression, navigating 2025 as a Hermit Year, and twin/soul-sibling dynamics. Recorded for the Gemini Full Moon, this episode is a playful and illuminating journey through mutable skies, offering insight, inspiration, and guidance for creating in a world of multiplicity. __________________________________________________ The Online Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Online Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived! For years, this pilgrimage has unfolded as an intimate passage through the 22 archetypes, guiding seekers into embodied relationship with the tarot's deepest teachings. This year marks a powerful turning point: for the first time ever, participants are invited to step not only into the role of seeker, but also into the role of facilitator and practitioner. This expansion represents a widening of our circle, a passing of the flame, and an opportunity to carry this sacred storytelling lineage into your own communities. Whether you've walked the Fool's path before or you're stepping into it for the very first time, you are warmly invited to apprentice yourself to mystery in a whole new way. I'm honored to be joined by two extraordinary guest co-facilitators — Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul and Mary Evans of Spirit Speak Tarot — who will support and enrich this year's journey with their unique perspectives and magic. The journey begins in January of 2026!   Cosmic Cousins Links Cosmic Cousins Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey

On this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by the radiant co-hosts of The Universe Called podcast — Courtney Sauls and Natalie Burtney. Together, we drop into the deep waters of the Scorpio New Moon, exploring its themes of emotional alchemy, intuition, and rebirth — especially poignant as this is the first Scorpio New Moon since Pluto's definitive arrival into Aquarius. In our conversations we explore  the intersection of astrology, identity, yoga, creativity, and collective change. Courtney shares about her work in I Am an American via Los Angeles and how acting, embodiment, and shadow work weave through her Scorpio Rising experience.  Natalie opens up about her Scorpio Moon and its connection to artistic cycles, trauma-informed yoga, and we listen to a song from her music project with her partner Smoke Red Sun. Together we explore Pluto in Aquarius, the shifting landscape of creative industries, and how breakdown often precedes innovation. We close with Scorpio New Moon practices, from somatic rituals to intentional releasing, along with reflections on yoga, nature, and how to honor transformation in both quiet and cathartic ways. It's a rich, soulful conversation that I'm so excited to share with you. __________________________________________________ The Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived!

Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom™ Podcast with Cub Kuker (Episode 584)Today, I'm revealing the forbidden biblical magic story code hidden within the number 22.This ancient code has been used for centuries to craft timelines, realities, movements, and entire narratives. It's the very same code that was used to write the Bible you were raised to believe—yet never taught how to truly decode.What I'm about to share bridges the so-called “forbidden” mysteries of scripture with the hero's journey—and even the fool's journey of the Major Arcana in the Tarot. You don't have to use this for divination, but understanding it is essential for any true initiate seeking to uncover the hidden structure of truth itself.

This week, partnerships and values are highlighted in the Libra New Moon. Neptune backstrokes into Pisces. The Sun enters Scorpio and squares Pluto and gets to work uncovering what we've been hiding underneath the surface. Mercury identifies our biggest dreams as it meets with Jupiter and lays out a practical path to success with Saturn. And a listener question about finding community, especially in the realms of astrology and spirituality. Plus: Passing it down, the universal dream, and empowering by strengthening!

The Devil from Tarot's Major Arcana is one of the more magnetic, complex and shadowy archetypes from the deck, and Hannah Levy thinks it is high time we tune into their compelling frequency. Hannah is a writer, and the editor-in-chief of The Rebis, is a print-only tarot themed literary journal of creative writing and art. The theme of this year's journal is The Devil, with creative contributions navigating themes of addiction, sexuality, liberation, and more. Tune in for Hannah's creative take on working with tarot, their story of upstarting a literary journal, and meditations on The Devil archetype. ❤️‍

Tarot Emblemata is a magical and mystical tarot deck based on the 1551 book of emblems by Claude Paradin. Renaissance emblems are intimate illustrations with accompanying mottos that allegorically and symbolically express sentiments, concepts, societal concerns, and parables. These Renaissance emblems are a didactic genre of interpretive art and, within them, author and creator Nitasia Roland has discovered that their enigmatic imagery and “mottos” correspond dynamically and align perfectly with the seventy cards of the Major and Minor Arcana of the tarot.Among the many ancient and iconic images this deck portrays—plumes, helmets, swords, gemstone rings, coins, wands, clouds, wreaths, flowers, animals, and trees—Roland sees the evolution of tarot's wands, swords, cups, and coins, as well as evocative glimmers of the Major Arcana archetypes. Both secular and religious, Renaissance emblems were meant to crystallize virtue or vice and cover every sphere of early modern knowledge: ethics, natural philosophy, politics, science, religion, love, war, and everyday life, very much in the same way that modern tarot imagery provides insight and clarity today.The Tarot Emblemata deck will help readers expand on their path of embodiment, spiritual gnosis, inspired destiny, and empowerment. The accompanying guidebook presents tarot interpretations and elucidations on the symbolism of the emblems. Tarot Emblemata features a ribbon lift and gilded cards. It is an accessible deck for beginners and those familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith system, while more experienced readers will enjoy a new and refreshing perspective. Find the deck and Natasia:Tarot Emblemata Deck: https://amzn.to/4mRCHWGWebsite: www.uraniapress.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nitasia_roland/ and https://www.instagram.com/urania_press/Nitasia Roland is a poet and writer of nonfiction with a focus on dovetailing the wisdom and practices of Western Esotericism, magic, myth, and mysticism.

Virgo Season 2025 Cosmic Energy Report Astrology and Tarot from two grounded Earth signs! We're here to show you the energies so you can embrace them in your own way. Show Summary: Welcome back to Spirit Crumbs! This Virgo Season energy report brings us into the threshold between summer's fullness and autumn's refinement. After Leo's fiery blaze, Virgo steps in with grounded clarity, reminding us that not everything can (or should) be carried forward. Emily and Andrea explore why this particular Virgo Season feels like alchemy in motion. With a Pisces eclipse stirring the collective waters, Mercury cazimi bringing mental clarity, and September's skies bubbling with planetary tension, the season asks us to release perfectionism, honor joy as a survival skill, and trust the soufflé to rise in divine timing.

My guest on the show today is John Pistelli, proprietor of the Grand Hotel Abyss Substack newsletter and its affiliated lecture course, The Invisible College. John is also the author of the novel Major Arcana, which was originally serialized on Substack. It was then picked up and republished by Belt Publishing, an indie press (now under the auspices of Arcadia, a larger indie press) founded to promote voices from the Rust Belt. We talk a lot of about John's novel, which I enjoyed immensely, but we talk more about what the novel represents, and has led to, in terms of the arc of John's career and his public reputation. In a very modest way, he's blown up over the last year or two. He's one of the presiding sages of Substack. He's been mentioned, mostly favorably, in the New Yorker. He's been criticized respectfully in the Wall Street Journal and somewhat derisively in Compact magazine. I ask him: What has that felt like? Is there discomfort in being the center of some attention when his sense of himself as a literary figure was forged as someone on the margins. Is he enjoying the attention? What does he make of the criticism he's received? What was it like to travel to New York to launch the book? Was it as romantic as he made it sound? This is a public episode.

Episode Sponsor: Ritual and Shelter Recording Location: San Diego, California Episode Overview Welcome to a transformative journey through the archetypal wisdom of the tarot's Major Arcana, perfectly timed with the extraordinary cosmic energies of July 2025. In this special episode, we explore how four planetary retrogrades, the Sirius Gateway, and Uranus entering Gemini create the ideal conditions for deep spiritual transformation. Join us for an immersive guided meditation that takes you through Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey using all 22 Major Arcana cards, from The Fool's innocent beginning to The World's cosmic completion.   This episode also introduces our Summer Bootcamp for Emotional Eating, showing how cosmic timing supports practical healing work around food, body image, and self-worth. Whether you're new to tarot or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers profound insights into the universal patterns of growth and transformation that guide every soul's journey.   What You'll Discover In this episode, you'll learn about the unprecedented cosmic alignment happening in July 2025 and how it supports your personal transformation.   We dive deep into the connection between Joseph Campbell's monomyth and the tarot's Major Arcana, revealing how these ancient wisdom traditions tell the same story of soul evolution.   I offer a  guided meditation that takes you through each archetypal stage of the Hero's Journey, allowing you to embody the wisdom of all 22 Major Arcana cards.   You'll also discover how this cosmic timing perfectly supports practical healing work, particularly around emotional eating patterns and body image challenges that often surface during summer months. The episode bridges the mystical and the practical, showing how spiritual insights can transform everyday struggles into opportunities for growth and empowerment.   Whether you're dealing with food and body issues, seeking spiritual guidance, or simply curious about the deeper patterns that shape human experience, this episode offers tools and insights that can shift your perspective and support your journey toward wholeness and authentic self-expression. Key Themes Explored Cosmic Timing and Spiritual Transformation: We explore how the current planetary alignments create optimal conditions for inner work and spiritual awakening. The multiple retrograde energies invite deep reflection and review, while the Sirius Gateway offers high-frequency light activations that enhance intuition and spiritual connection. Uranus entering Gemini brings innovative thinking and breakthrough insights to our spiritual practice.   Archetypal Wisdom and Personal Growth: The episode reveals how the 22 Major Arcana cards represent universal patterns of human development and spiritual evolution. Each card corresponds to a specific stage of the Hero's Journey, offering guidance for navigating life's challenges and opportunities. We explore how these archetypal energies live within each of us and can be consciously accessed for healing and transformation. Integration of Mystical and Practical: Rather than keeping spiritual insights separate from daily life, this episode shows how cosmic awareness can inform practical decisions about health, relationships, and personal growth. The connection between the meditation and the emotional eating bootcamp demonstrates how spiritual work supports tangible healing in our relationship with food and body image.   Summer as Sacred Mirror: We examine how summer's call to greater visibility and vulnerability mirrors the cosmic invitation to reveal our authentic selves. The season's challenges around body image and self-confidence become opportunities for spiritual growth and the integration of shadow aspects that may have been hidden during other times of the year.               This transitional section prepares listeners for the guided meditation by explaining the connection between Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and the tarot's Major Arcana. Both tell the story of the soul's evolution from innocence to wisdom, from separation to wholeness, from unconsciousness to cosmic awareness. We explore how this meditation isn't just a relaxation technique but an archetypal initiation that allows us to consciously experience each stage of the universal journey that every human soul takes. The cosmic timing couldn't be more perfect for this kind of deep inner work, with retrograde energies creating the ideal container for reflection and transformation while the Sirius Gateway's light codes support spiritual awakening. Practical guidance is offered for getting the most from the meditation experience, including finding a comfortable position, ensuring uninterrupted time, and setting intentions for the journey ahead. The section emphasizes that this is experiential wisdom rather than intellectual understanding, inviting listeners to feel and embody each archetypal energy rather than simply thinking about it.   The Hero's Journey Meditation (26:00 - 52:00) This is the heart of the episode: a complete guided meditation through all 22 Major Arcana cards, structured according to Joseph Campbell's three-act Hero's Journey framework. The meditation is divided into Departure (Cards 0-VII), Initiation (Cards VIII-XIV), and Return (Cards XV-XXI), with each section building upon the previous one to create a complete transformational experience.     The episode concludes with guidance for integrating the meditation experience into daily life. We explore how the 22 archetypal energies are now available as inner resources and guides, and how the cosmic timing continues to support the implementation of insights received during the journey.   Practical suggestions are offered for working with specific archetypes that may have resonated strongly during the meditation, as well as trusting that the wisdom received will emerge naturally as needed in daily life. The closing emphasizes the connection between personal transformation and collective awakening, showing how individual healing work contributes to the larger shift in consciousness happening on our planet. Final reminders about the Summer Bootcamp registration and other resources are provided, along with gratitude for the shared journey and encouragement to continue using the cosmic energies for ongoing growth and transformation.   Resources Mentioned Summer Bootcamp for Emotional Eating •Dates: July 22-26, 2025 •Format: Free 5-day program with optional VIP experience •Focus: Gap tapping technique for transforming food and body image patterns •Registration: Links provided in show notes and host's bio •Alignment: Perfectly timed with cosmic energies for maximum transformation Cosmic Events to Track •Mercury Retrograde in Leo: July 17 - August 11, 2025 •Saturn Retrograde in Aries: Ongoing through 2025 •Neptune Retrograde in Aries: Ongoing truth-revealing energy •Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Healing pause and integration period •Uranus in Gemini: Long-term innovative thinking and communication shifts   Meditation Resources •Complete 30 minute Hero's Journey meditation included in episode •Can be repeated for deeper integration and ongoing transformation •Best experienced in quiet, uninterrupted space •Suitable for all levels of tarot and meditation experience Further Learning •Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" for monomyth understanding •Major Arcana study for deeper archetypal wisdom •Cosmic timing and astrological awareness for spiritual practice •Gap tapping and emotional eating resources through bootcamp       Personal Empowerment: Learning to work with the gap between current reality and desired outcomes through gap tapping provides practical tools for transformation that honor both spiritual and psychological aspects of growth.     https://terriannheiman.com/the-empowered-spirit-show#/

Summer Series - The Tarot: Your Inner Guide   Episode Summary In this episode, host Terri Ann Hyeiman kicks off a new summer series on the Tarot. She begins by discussing the current global climate, urging listeners to focus on freedom, love, and raising their consciousness rather than getting caught in fear and drama. The episode emphasizes summer as a time for introspection, rest, and connecting with your inner self. Terri Ann introduces the Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and intuition, not just fortune-telling. She debunks common myths, shares its history from a 15th-century Italian card game to a mystical tool, and explains the structure of a Tarot deck. The episode concludes with a collective Tarot reading for the month of July, using both the "Empowered Spirit" and "Wild Unknown" decks to provide clarity and guidance for the upcoming full moon.   Key Takeaways Focus on Freedom and Love: In challenging times, it's crucial to focus on what brings you freedom and happiness. Contribute to a collective consciousness of love to raise the global vibration. Embrace Summer's Energy: Summer is a season for rest, relaxation, and introspection. It's an opportunity to nurture the seeds of intention planted in the spring and connect with your soul. Process, Don't Suppress: Be mindful of how you handle your emotions. Instead of using distractions like food, shopping, or alcohol, learn to process your feelings to foster spiritual growth. The Tarot as a Tool for Intuition: The Tarot is an oracle that can help you bypass your logical mind and tap into your intuition. It's a way to understand yourself and your path on a deeper level. Anyone Can Read Tarot: You don't need to be a gifted psychic to read Tarot cards. It's a skill that can be learned by anyone willing to tune into their intuition. The Hero's Journey in Tarot: The structure of the Tarot, particularly the Major Arcana, mirrors the "Hero's Journey," representing the cycles of growth, challenges, and lessons in our own lives. July Collective Tarot Reading Theme for July: The reading points to a period of re-evaluating what truly brings you happiness and freedom. It's a time for creative new beginnings and connecting with the divine feminine and Mother Earth. Empowered Spirit Deck Reading: Focus (10 of Earth, Reversed): Are you truly happy with what you've built? A call to review your life and possessions to ensure they bring you joy, not just accumulation. Influences: The Son of Water suggests being mindful of people-pleasing tendencies. The Empress encourages birthing new creative projects and connecting with nature. The Strength card (reversed) calls for stepping out of your comfort zone to build the life you desire. Wild Unknown Deck Reading: Focus (The Lovers, Reversed): A message about understanding the duality of love within yourself. It's about being true to your own path to attract what aligns with you. Influences: The Four of Swords warns against mental chatter and self-doubt. The Daughter of Wands encourages seeking inspiration and embracing innocence. The Fool signifies taking a leap of faith and stepping into a truer version of yourself.

Gemini Season May 20th - June 20th 2025 This episode offers our Gemini season Tarot forecast plus tarot associations for Gemini - The Lovers - and Air (Swords). This episode may have more significance for Gemini natives (Sun, rising, or moon in Gemini). Gemini in the Tarot, in the Major Arcana - the big energetics - karma and soul based lessons and narratives is represented by The Lovers - this card offers us the reminder that all things based in love, honest and authentic communication in right partnership will lead us where we need to go. It reminds us that to attract or support balanced relationships we must first be in right partnership and balanced relationship to ourselves. When we learn how to fall in love with our own soul, including our shadows.…navigating relationships with others becomes much clearer and far more rewarding. The Lover's card is NOT exclusive to our love life.The misconception of this card is that it always means amorous love. It does not…I don't even do love readings lol This card will, however, be reflected in our partnerships… friends, work, amorous…but its medicine always resides in our personal reflection work with ourselves….rooted in our shadow work and healing. And above all COMMUNICATION because, Gemini. If we can love the darkest parts of ourselves…well, then…engaging with others is muuuuch easier. And if we can communicate our limitations, our constructive boundaries, our capacity and willingness to love, what we can and can't do, where we are willing to try and grow….well, we'll have healthy relationships with people that can grow with us and support us or we'll know clearly when to part ways with those who aren't or simply can't at that point in time. And you can start to see others from spaces of capacity, bandwidth or growth vs being stuck in ego, victim, or trying to make others understand, or be someone or something they don't have the resources to be at this point in time. A harmonized Gemini is a healthy and glorious site to behold. Gemini Offers us two sides of the same coin. It offers us the yes and. It says duality IS the gig in this messy earth school experience. Honor it, play with it, talk through it, honor the full spectrum of it, and above all be willing to shift, grow, expand, and change as information + decision and experience influence you. Because synthesized information is what exalted Gemini is all about. Wisdom. This is what we're doing it for. To become the elders. Gemini is a mutable Air Sign. Air in the tarot is represented by swords in the minor arcana - the minor arcana is our day-to-day human experience. Smaller energy. our intellect, acumen, thought process, words, and around here our subconscious processing. What we think, read, listen to, who we talk to….all contribute to our whole. It teaches us that by shifting what we consume, the words we speak…we can shift our consciousness, invoke healing and progress. This season invites us into books, podcasts, documentaries, courses that present NEW ways of thinking about well, everything. Education is power. Curiosity and expansion rule. Plus, our single card tarot reading for the spirit in which to move through Gemini season!
