BTW 83: Queen of Cups' School of Art, with guest Diana Rivera
In the Queen of Cups tarot card, we see a Queen gazing intently into a lidded golden goblet. By the power of their attention and care, whatever is in the goblet is infused with magic. Like the sea itself, the essence of the suit of Cups is to ebb and flow. This Queen teaches us to pay attention to our cycles and rhythms. When this card comes up in a reading, something mysterious is rising up from the well of creativity inside you, called to new life. Our guest today, creativity expert Dr. Diana Rivera is here to help us take our creative powers seriously and bring our creative babes into being.

BTW 82: Knight of Cups - Finding Your Holy Grail - (Part 2) Mythologies of the Knight
In this, the second of two solo episodes with host Amanda Yates Garcia on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the mythologies of the Knight of Cups. Specifically, we focus on the Celtic legend of the Grail Knight Percival, his travels through the Forest of Arroy (the Forest of Adventure), and his encounter with the Fisher King. We talk about the Well Maidens, and the Wasteland. We describe the pursuit of the Grail as one of the founding myths of Western Civilization, because it describes the desecration of the sacred, but also prophesies what medicine must be found in order to restore the world to right order. We give study questions, and also rituals you can use when themes related to the Knight of Cups show up in your reading, or your life. Join us!

BTW 81: Knight of Cups – Finding Your Holy Grail (Part 1)
The Knight of Cups is guided by visions. They’re spiritual, on a quest for meaning and purpose. This person is an artist, a poet, they’ve been wounded, they’ve become wise, they’re pursuing their dreams. If you get this card in a reading, it’s an invitation to get curious about your inner world and and the inner world of others. In this, the first of two Amanda solo episodes on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the basic meaning of the Knight of Cups, correspondences, pop culture references, and all the reasons why you don't want to date this Knight if they come up in reverse. Join us!

Customer Reviews
I’ve been listening forever
Figured I should finally start rating the podcasts I love
I can’t believe how much I have learned here
I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2021 when I was really just starting to pull cards regularly. I remember feeling so overwhelmed with how much there was to learn. Flash forward to now and this podcast has taught me so much about tarot, history, mythology, archetypes, and exposed me to some pretty cool people as well. Between the Worlds has given me the most amazing foundation to draw from in my tarot practice and I could not be more grateful. Thank you Amanda and Carolyn!
Great Representation in the Spiritual Community
Amanda & her team do a great job in being inclusive and transparent in the spiritual community. The topics range and are very interesting. Very relevant and current. The podcast dives into the essence of being a Witch. Thank you for being so open on the guests that come on!
