41. Interview with Crone of Wands + Solstice Magic‪!‬ Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

It’s all about the solar (and Wands) fire this week on Tarot for the Wild Soul! Lindsay’s guest on the podcast is the lovely Christianna Wincek, aka Crone of Wands! Christianna is a witch who utilizes Tarot, herbs and magic as tools for reclaiming, harnessing and honoring personal power through self healing. Together, we dive into Christianna’s journey into claiming her calling as a Tarot reader and plant witch, her healing journey through childhood trauma, growing up religious when you’re a witch, and (of course), the Queen of Wands.
