    Episode 7: Tarot Birth Cards

    Hey all and welcome back to The Alchemical Mermaid Podcast (TAMP). It's been a while, huh? I apologize for disappearing and reappearing almost 2 years later, but A LOT has happened (which I very briefly touch on in the podcast). In season 1 of TAMP, we're talking about all things tarot. If you've ever been curious about tarot, new to the practice, or even if you're a seasoned veteran, I promise you'll find a nugget of insight in this podcast. In episode 7, we talk about "Tarot Birth Cards". Each of us have 2 or 3 cards in the major arcana that have a profound effect on our lives. They may be the theme of our life, be an innate part of us (and therefore can affect the way we practice our magic), or even help us understand our unconscious self. So, how do we find out what our birth cards are? All you need is a pen, paper, your birth date, and this podcast where I'll teach you how to calculate your tarot birth cards and how to solve any issues that may arise. You never know what gem you're gonna discover in this episode. I do hope you enjoy listening and decide to follow/subscribe to the podcast for future episodes. I look forward to hearing your feedback, opinions, stories and more too. Do send me an email at alchemicalmermaid@gmail.com and follow me on instagram @alchemicalmermaid. Let me know in the poll which way you used to calculate your birth cards too! Till next time! xxx Seraphina

    Episode 6: Fool's Journey (Version 2)

    Namaste and welcome to the Alchemical Mermaid Podcast. In season 1, we're talking about all things tarot. If you've ever been curious about tarot, new to the practice, or even if you're a seasoned veteran, there just might be a nugget of insight in this podcast just for you. In episode 6, we continue to look at the infamous "Fool's Journey". I was meditating one evening, wondering about the journey the fool takes through all the trumps when my higher self came through and explained it to me in a way that blew my mind. So, what's this version 2 of the “Fool’s Journey”? How different is it from Version 1? (Hint: very different). Find out in this 6th episode of The Alchemical Mermaid Podcast. You never know what gem you're gonna discover in this episode. I do hope you enjoy listening and decide to follow/subscribe to the podcast for future episodes.

    Episode 5: The Fool's Journey (Part 2)

    Namaste and welcome to the Alchemical Mermaid Podcast. In season 1, we're talking about all things tarot. If you've ever been curious about tarot, new to the practice, or even if you're a seasoned veteran, there just might be a nugget of insight in this podcast just for you. In episode 5, we continue to look at the infamous "Fool's Journey". When it comes to narratology, we know of the Hero's Journey. That adventure the hero must go through in order to save the day, rescue their love interest, or find themselves. By the end of this journey, the hero would be a completely different person and pretty likely a better version of their original self. The same can be said about the Fool's Journey. We as the Fool must travel across the trumps in order to reach our goal: to be at one or become trump 21, The World. So, what's the journey? What are the challenges the Fool must go through? What roles do the trumps play in the Fool's Journey? Find out in this 5th episode of The Alchemical Mermaid Podcast. You never know what gem you're gonna discover in this episode.
