    Welcome back to Exploration Arcanum. I’m Jason. In this interview, I speak with Emrys Abner about his book on Solomonic Pentacles and the wider tradition of Solomonic magic.

    Episode 28: M. Kyndyll Lackey

    Welcome back to Exploration Arcanum. My name is Jason.Today, we’re exploring the space where sound meets symbol—the music of Maynard James Keenan and the rich, archetypal world of the Thoth Tarot Deck. My guest, Kyndyll Lackey, has practiced tarot for over 20 years, blending Hermetic philosophy with a deep emotional connection to music.For Kyndyll, tarot isn’t just about answers—it’s about narrative. And music is the emotional language that brings those stories to life. Every one of Keenan’s songs—whether it’s Tool, A Perfect Circle, or Puscifer—can be mapped to the cards, each one a mirror of archetype, emotion, and story.From live shows that feel like initiations to playlists that read like spreads, Kyndyll’s work invites us to feel the tarot as much as understand it. I want to thank Kyndyll for coming on the show. I'll put links to her work and website in the description below. Links:M.
