    The moon, the cards, and the seasons are all lining up to tell us it’s time to focus on ourselves and stay committed to what lights us up, even when we aren’t feeling as productive or creative. This week we’re talking about how to take care of yourself as you start to feel the summer fade and fall take hold. Tune in—this is one of our best! This week we used the White Light Oracle by Alana Fairchild, the Gothic Tarot of Vampires by Lo Scarabeo, and the Soul Truth Awareness deck by Brianna Hovey.

    Ep. 29: It is Time to Make a Move

    Oh man the cards definitely have opinions on what we’re talking about today!

This week we used The Starseed Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell and Yasmin Boland’s Moonology Deck.

    Ep. 28: It is Okay to Ask for Help

    We’re talking about stress this week (and, let’s be honest, probably for the next few weeks). The cards were a great reminder that we need to remember to ask for help when we need it. This week we used the Work Your Light deck by Rebecca Campbell and the Crystal Spirits Deck by Collette Baron-Reid.
