The story of a 20-year witch, one very old fear, and the wild pull that said yes anyway For most of my life, tarot scared me. I grew up hearing from the pulpit that these cards were dangerous, dark, and a one-way ticket to hell. Even after 20 years of witchcraft, Reiki, and divination, that old message was still lodged in me. Then, about a year ago, my wild soul said yes, let’s try this. In this episode, I’m telling you how I went from fear to becoming a tarot reader, and why launching Tarot & Life Clarity feels like such a full-circle moment. You’ll walk away with three things: A new way to think about the difference between tarot and oracle cardsA tarot pull on divine timing, and what the 2 of Swords has to say about feeling like you’re “behind”A gentle permission slip to follow the thing you’re drawn to, even if it scares youAnd because it’s Samhain season, I’m sharing a cozy, magical book recommendation at the end. IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT: Growing up in an evangelical church and what I was taught about tarotLeaving the church at 17 and finding my way to witchy practice at 26Why a fear can stay lodged for decades, even when you’ve done so much healingWhat changed when I started pulling one card a dayThe difference between tarot (a system of archetypes) and oracle cardsThe moment I pulled a card for a life coaching client, and how it changed my workHow a Tarot & Life Clarity session worksTarot pull: What do we need to know about divine timing?
