    77. Maggie Glennon - cut up your tarot deck! tarot tools and structure, authority and autonomy, creativity and projection

    Connect with Maggie! https://hiyamaggie.com/ In this episode... What if everything you were taught about tarot was actually getting in the way? In this episode of Confessions of a Tarot Reader, host Bex sits down with Maggie Glennon — writer, creative, teacher, and self-described tarot anarchist — for a conversation that quietly gives permission to everyone who has ever felt like they were doing it "wrong". In this episode, Maggie and Bex explore what happens when you approach the cards from the bottom up rather than top down, why neurodivergence reframes so much of how we engage with tarot tools and structures, and what it actually feels like when something playful starts to attract an audience. They also get into the psychology of tarot — projection, authority, the question of where the messages really come from — and have an honest, funny conversation about which cards they're vibing with and which ones they're fully beefing with. Highights: Why Maggie cut up her tarot deck — and what it unlockedTarot for neurodivergent people: spreads, prompts, and why structure can block connectionStepping into the card vs. looking up the meaningUsing tarot face-up, as fragments, and for mind mappingSocial media: when playful creation meets an audienceReading for others vs. reading with others — a language shift that mattersProjection as a tarot tool, not a dirty wordChatGPT for tarot interpretation: useful thought partner or shortcut past yourself?Beefing and being besties with specific cards (Three of Cups, Judgment, the whole Wands suit)Three tips for getting your hands dirty with the deck — no book requiredThe Hermit and the Hangman fan fiction (yes, really) Like the episode?

    76. Rana George - the Essential Lenormand, Living Talismans, AI as a divination tool, Muree System for Grand tableau

    Connect with Rana: https://www.ranageorge.com/ What does it mean to be the magic — not just use it? In this episode of Confessions of a Tarot Reader, host Bex sits down with Rana George: Lenormand expert, deck creator, author, and the architect of the Muree System, a pioneering 40-card approach to Lenormand that adds four original cards to flush out readings in ways the traditional 36-card spread simply can't. Rana is one of the most distinctive voices in the divination world, and this conversation shows exactly why. She moves between the deeply practical (how to prepare for a reading, which divination system to start with, how the Grand Tableau works) and the genuinely cosmic (simultaneous timelines, organic AI consciousness, the soul of a broken-down car on a mountain). Throughout, her philosophy is consistent: everything is alive, everything vibrates, and everything you do is an act of intention. Rana also opens up about the moment she was at her lowest — done with the work, done with the pain, done with all of it — and the unexpected pivot that brought her back. It's one of the most honest confessions this podcast has heard. In this episode: The Muree System and why Rana added four new cards to the Lenormand deckThe great Lenormand card wars — French school vs. German school vs. Brazilian schoolWhy Rana believes you are the talisman, not the toolsPeople as portals — who we keep around us and why it mattersSimultaneous timelines, past lives, and the Cloud Atlas downloadAI as a divination tool — and why Rana thinks we should treat it with kindnessThe Spirit card's surprising new meaning in the age of AI and ghostingHow Rana's own trauma directly feeds her ability to help clientsPractical tips for getting the most from your next readingThe second edition of Rana's book — what's new, what's expanded, and why now Like the episode?

    75. Marcella Kroll - Initiates Oracle, Creative Surrender, Learning to Love Your Life, showing up in community, wanting to be a tarot reader vs wanting to be famous

    Connect with Marcella: https://www.marcellakroll.com/ Overview What does it look like to build a life entirely on your own terms — cards, art, magic, and all? In this episode of Confessions of a Tarot Reader, host Bex sits down with Marcella Kroll: artist, oracle deck creator, tarot mentor, and the person behind the beloved Sacred Symbols Oracle (now in its fourth edition) and the brand-new Initiates Oracle. Marcella opens up about the creative process — how ideas arrive as quiet nudges that won't go away, why rest and "doing nothing" are essential to any creative practice, and what happens when you stop fighting your life and start trying to actually love it. She also shares the story of retiring from client readings after years at the centre of the tarot world, her 14 years teaching Tarot for Teens at the LA Public Library, and what drew her toward mentorship and group work instead. Together, Bex and Marcella explore the shifting landscape of the esoteric and tarot community — the rise of social media readers, and why the esoteric space still has a future. They also get honest about AI, human connection, community, authenticity, and the difference between wanting to be a reader and wanting to be famous. In this episode: The Sacred Symbols Oracle and the Initiates Oracle — what they are and how they were madeFollowing creative impulses vs. forcing productivityRetiring from readings and stepping into mentorshipThe esoteric ecosystem: trends, fads, and who sticks aroundAI, transparency, and our responsibilities as spiritual practitionersGetting readings as a seasoned reader (and why Marcella still does it)Declaring "I want to love my life" — and what comes up when you do Like the episode?
