In this season finale of Root Lock Radio, I reflect back on the demonstration reading in episode 7 and highlight some of the skills and decisions I used in that reading. I then tie together some major themes of season 3, including the use of Beacon Cards and a focus on Strength. I also give a glimpse into a new course I am working on, as well as season 4 of the podcast.

In this episode, I take you behind the curtain of my Year Ahead Birthday Tarot Readings with a demonstration. Drawing on the submission of a Root Lock Radio listener, I share an 11-card tarot reading that includes both Beacon Cards and cards drawn from the deck. This serves to demonstrate some of the specific skills I use in tarot readings (which I will recap in S3E8) and also to show you what a year ahead reading from me entails.

In this episode, I take a look at the 8, 9, and 10 of wands cards and how they represent experiences of anxiety and hypervigilance that can be difficult to manage with techniques like meditation. Instead, we look to the suit of pentacles as offering grounding resources for moments like these. We also take a look at the trait of narcissism, which is often viewed as the lower expression of the fire suit.

In this episode, I draw on an IFS-informed way of working with the court cards to examine how to work with the Queens. I offer a refresher in how to use the court cards from this perspective (first introduced in season 2, episodes 2 and 9). I also offer a simplified update of this concepts. Then, we take a look at each of the four Queens in the tarot.

In this episode, I ask for your questions regarding working with clients professionally (for a future episode). I then dive into the STRENGTH card and investigate how tarot urges us to consider an alternative version of what "strength" means by incorporating more spiritual and feminine energies. I also discuss why this card highlights the importance of Pamela Coleman Smith as a tarot trailblazer, by comparing her image to that in the Marseille deck. I then look at each of the 8 cards of the minor suits and how they echo this message of STRENGTH. www.rootlocktarot.com Music provided by: Shenandoah Davis www.shenandoahdavis.com Jeré www.soundcloud.com/jerejerejere Support RLR and join the discussion forum: www.patreon.com/rootlockradio Buy the Root Lock Radio Season 1 Companion Guide or the Root Lock Tarot Book of Spreads: www.rootlocktarot.com/books Sign up for the Root Lock Tarot email list: www.rootlocktarot.com/contact Follow Root Lock Tarot on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rootlocktarot I hope you find the links between tarot and psychotherapy concepts useful.

In this episode I will introduce the concept of "beacon cards," which are cards calculated using the numerology of any given date. I will talk about the many uses of beacon cards, including how to integrate them into tarot readings. I will also introduce my upcoming Year Ahead Birthday Readings, which will soon be available on my website. www.rootlocktarot.com Music provided by: Shenandoah Davis www.shenandoahdavis.com Jeré www.soundcloud.com/jerejerejere Support RLR and join the discussion forum: www.patreon.com/rootlockradio Buy the Root Lock Radio Season 1 Companion Guide or the Root Lock Tarot Book of Spreads: www.rootlocktarot.com/books Sign up for the Root Lock Tarot email list: www.rootlocktarot.com/contact Follow Root Lock Tarot on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rootlocktarot I hope you find the links between tarot and psychotherapy concepts useful.

This episode is the season 2 finale of Root Lock Radio! In this episode, I review the content of the past ten episodes to establish key themes and takeaways from this season of the podcast.

In this episode, I make a couple of announcements, including an update on the forthcoming Root Lock Tarot Book of Spreads. I then dive into a look at the page cards from the IFS-informed approach to the court cards introduced in S2E3. I cover the age, gender, and focus of the page archetype and then look at each of the four pages as an archetypal inner child. I include upright and reversed interpretations.

In this episode, I will revisit the concept of reading reversals in tarot and offer some ways to develop your reversal-reading toolkit. I discuss how reversals present an alteration or disruption of the energy of the card and how reading reversals is a process-based skill, rather than one based in memorization. I will then cover three pathways that a reversed card may present (disconnection, resistance, or release) with an example of each. I will then discuss some reversal interpretations of cards from the major arcana that I have developed over the course of my tarot practice. Enjoy!

In this episode, I will explore the various ways a tarot deck can have a life of its own. I will explore how to interpret "jumpers" (cards that jump out of the deck) "repeaters" (cards that keep showing up across readings) and the value of keeping a tarot journal or log. I will then tell two slightly eerie – and totally true – stories about cards that incurred damage in my tarot deck and why I started embracing damaged cards.

In this episode, I will work to reframe the 8, 9, and 10 of swords cards. Although the imagery on these cards is dark and ominous, I view them as invitations to feel and heal. To explain this, I will draw on concepts from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and the book 'It's Not Always Depression' by Hilary Jacobs Hendel to distinguish between inhibitory emotions and core emotions. I will then connect these concepts to the imagery in the 8-10 of swords cards. We will then turn to the 8-10 of cups cards to define the healing invitation of these challenging swords cards. Enjoy!
