    The Story of Your Life as Told Through the Major Arcana

    I love tarot and have been reading cards for myself since I got my first deck way back in 2008 in a little cabin-like shop in Big Sur California… back when I had no idea what I was doing, but was also extremely fired up to find out. It was exciting - that first tarot deck. And a little bit dangerous. It seemed so very… OCCULT. Which, of course, was part of its appeal. I was a little bit afraid of it, like I was doing something wrong or crossing some kind of line. I had, at that point, been into many different new-agey things over the years, but something about tarot… There was a stigma around it that still lingered within me as a result of probably some funky combination of religious programming and the way tarot was portrayed in the media. When I was growing up, tarot had a reputation for being this dark, edgy, spooky thing. Which now is laughable, because tarot is so not scary. It’s a deck of cards. It’s practical, wholesome and definitely not evil. I suspect the cultural taboo around things like tarot is really just fear - a fear we won’t even acknowledge is there… and that is the fear of knowing ourselves… of finding out who and what we are beyond this life… tapping into the mystery within and without. And maybe it’s not even us who is afraid of ourselves. Maybe it’s the people around us who are afraid of what it might mean for them should we come more fully into our power. “If you choose to forget all other things, remember only this and you will never fail: you are awesome, in the most total sense of the word.” -Kim Huggens, Complete Guide to Tarot Illuminati This is a public episode.

    You Don't Have To Go Big To Keep Stepping To The Edge...

    Today is Thursday, April 2nd 2026, which means yesterday was Fool’s Day! And I mean that in a Major Arcana-esque way. Energetically we are in the Season of Foolishness, Aries Season, a season for bursting forth with fresh energy, launching new things with perhaps more passion than foresight and getting busy with that infamous phenomenon known as spring fever. I recently- just in passing online- picked up on someone using the word “libido” to describe the energy needed to maintain a creative career, and I thought : Yes! That is so Aries… the creative libido that gets things started. And then my next thought was a question : How do we cultivate that libido year round in order to not only finish what we start in Aries season but also to feel alive and fresh in our work each day? And that question came with a clear answer : We step to the edge. We start each morning by asking ourselves : Where is the next edge? Where is my next creative growth edge? What scares but also excites me? What on my current plate of potentials will require me to grow if I choose to go there? And then we dare ourselves to go there. The Fool’s season is the perfect time to get into this habit, to practice following your passion and getting into action without overthinking it, to make moves daily and keep stepping to the edge… _ *Listen to The Jo DeVoe Show right here on Substack or wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts.

  3. How The Queen Archetype Has Changed Over The Years

    How The Queen Archetype Has Changed Over The Years

    Something weird and cool happens when you work with an archetype for many years. It starts to change along with you. This makes sense if you look at archetypes as universal patterns of energy that are uniquely expressing through the different parts of your personality. As you grow, they grow. This is particularly true if you find one lurking in the shadows and decide to raise it up with care. It is then that the light of your awareness draws it toward the surface to be expressed and integrated into the wholeness of your being. In this episode of the podcast, I am specifically talking about my personal journey with The Queen, but I hope you’ll be able to hear me in this broader context. You contain multitudes, and deliberately working with an archetype like The Queen is one bite-sized way to explore that without getting overwhelmed by your various dimensions. The Queen, when seated in her wisdom and benevolence, has the power to safely lead the other parts of you to the light as well. She’s responsible like that. As such, The Queen is “able to respond” to any sub-personality that wants to make itself known from within and to anything that presents from without. I hope it goes without saying that I love her. I love her, because she is me. *This SALE ENDS on Sunday, September 7th at 9pm Los Angeles time… GET $50 OFF Queen : 5 Weeks To Reclaim Your Personal Sovereignty when you enter this code at checkout : QueenageSummer This is a public episode.
