In this episode, I’m talking about the Norse Goddess Rune Oracle, created by Rebecca Joyce Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod—a deck rooted in rune wisdom, divine feminine power, and Northern mythic storytelling.This is one of my newer decks, and the way I tend to learn a new deck is simple: I use it. Constantly. I pull cards for myself. I pull cards for the podcast. I live with it long enough that it starts to reveal what it’s actually good at—and what it isn’t trying to be.My Story with This DeckI found this deck at the Haunted Farmer’s Market in South Tacoma, which honestly feels like exactly the correct place to meet a deck like this. It has that “I found this in a liminal space on purpose” energy.I’ve also been in a phase lately where I’m really drawn to decks that teach me something—decks with their own structure, their own cultural roots, their own lore. And this one doesn’t just give you a message. It gives you a whole world.Style:Visually, this deck is striking—bold and dramatic without being chaotic. It’s matte, thick, and substantial in the hands.The edges are painted red, as a nod to the practice of “blooding” the runes—an old method of activating runes through blood as an offering and an infusion of power. It has its own complete divination system built around the Elder Futhark runes, with a Norse goddess assigned to each rune.Structure:What I love about the structure is that it’s a complete divination system without trying to “tarot-ify” itself. It stays faithful to runic wisdom, but still gives you a deck format you can shuffle, spread, and read.This is an oracle deck and it’s built around Elder Futhark runes and Norse goddess archetypes.There are 39 cards total:cards for the runes themselvesplus cards for the Merkstave (the “dark staff” meanings—alternate/reversed rune meanings), which are included as their own separate cards to remove ambiguityIf you don’t use Merkstave meanings, you can literally remove those cards and work with only the upright rune set.Imagery:On the front, the background feels like muted wood or carved texture—so your eye goes straight to the goddess imagery. Each card tends to show the goddess plus key symbols from her story, with the rune embedded into the visual field, so you’re learning the rune through repetition.What I use it for:I love using this in conversation with others, especially people who enjoy mythology, archetypes, witchcraft, or spiritual storytelling. It gives you so much to work with.I reach for this deck when I want:a reading that feels mythic and archetypalguidance that’s directa divination tool that feels seasonalsomething that connects me to divine feminine powerWhat I don’t use it for:This deck is powerful, but it asks you to engage. It rewards attention. And it’s not a “pull one card and move on” kind of deck—unless you’re okay with being haunted by the card all day (which I often am).I don’t usually reach for this deck when:someone wants the familiar Rider–Waite–Smith structuresomeone is brand new to divination I need a very practical, straightforward “daily logistics” kind of answerSomeone doesn’t want mythology, unfamiliar names, or a guidebook-heavy experience💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod, I pulled the Hagalaz | Hel: Chaos, Destruction, Renewal (Upright).If things feel like they’re falling apart, it may be because something is being cleared. Not to punish you, but to realign you.Reflective prompts on this card:Which color feels restorative to me right now?Where could I invite this hue into my day (body, space, altar)?How can I simplify my magic to make it sustainable and joyful?Ways to Connect & SupportGet my⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠ + magic straight to your inbox.Join us for our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rd, 2026!Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, I’m talking about a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, plant magic, and earth-based practice: The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, written by Latisha Guthrie with artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert. This deck doesn’t just show you plants, it invites you into a whole world of herb-craft, kitchen witchery, and ancestral plant relationships.My Story with This DeckThis deck has been on my radar for a long time.Back in Season 11: Tarot and Plant Allies, I didn’t yet own a botanical tarot deck. I was constantly looking up plant correspondences online, and the Herbcrafter’s Tarot kept popping up in my research. I found myself returning to its imagery over and over as I prepared those episodes.I’d been searching for a plant-based tarot deck for years, but most of the ones I found either didn’t name the plants clearly or didn’t quite click with how I like to work. After leaning so heavily on Herbcrafter’s imagery for that season, I finally took the hint and bought the deck as a gift to myself.Style:This is a traditional tarot deck, but translated through an herbalist’s worldview. The vibe feels like standing in a kitchen with herbs hanging from the rafters, tea simmering, and baskets piled with plants from the garden. Structure:The Herbcrafter’s Tarot follows the Rider–Waite–Smith structure in terms of card count, but it reimagines the suits and court cards through an herbal lens.Instead of the traditional suit names, the deck uses the elements:Air (Swords)Fire (Wands)Water (Cups)Earth (Pentacles)The guidebook also adds an extra layer that makes this deck feel like a full practice: each card has a short mantra-style line, an image description, a message, and crafting suggestions—ways to actually work with the plant through syrup, oxymel, jelly, teas, bath blends, or other forms of herb-craft.Imagery:The imagery is one of my favorite parts of this deck, because it doesn’t just show a plant floating in space. Sometimes the plant is wild in its natural environment. Sometimes it’s been harvested and laid out beside jars, spoons, bowls, candles, or baskets. Sometimes it’s shown as food or medicine. Every card gives you options for how to actually work with the plant—something you can make, infuse, steep, craft, or ritualize.What I use it for:I reach for this deck when:plant ally work and earth-based spiritual practicereadings that focus on healing, nourishment, and slow transformationsituations where I want the next step to be tangible (something I can craft, brew, cook, or tend)learning herbs through tarot, or learning tarot through herbsritual-based reflection—pulling a card and letting it become a week-long practiceWhat I don’t use it for:I don’t reach for this deck when:someone wants classic Rider–Waite–Smith imagery with people and familiar tarot scenesa querent wants something very “straightforward tarot” without botanical symbolismsomeone feels disconnected from plants, cooking, crafting, or nature-based metaphorsomeone is from a context where these plants feel unfamiliar, and they want symbolism that’s more culturally immediate for them💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, I pulled the Six of Fire Nasturtium (Reversed).Let yourself celebrate what you’ve done. Let your people celebrate you, too. Call the circle. Gather the joy. Let it count.Reflective prompts on this card:What have I done this year that I’m minimizing or skipping over too quickly?Where am I craving celebration, but waiting for “perfect” before I let myself have it?Who are my people right now, and what kind of circle do I want to build or return to in 2026?Ways to Connect & SupportNewsletter: Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxJoin us for our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rdBe a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today, I’m talking about something a little different from tarot and oracle: It's Grow Time Deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray. This is a 48-card affirmation deck created specifically for do-good, feel-good business owners—and honestly, it’s one of the most practical decks in my collection.My Story with This DeckI got this deck directly from Chantelle during its early launch, and what made it extra special is that I already knew Chantelle through some shared community connections. We had done a virtual coffee date, and I later invited them onto the podcast, so this deck feels very relational for me.What I love most is that this is Chantelle’s first deck, and it was created from their own lived experience as a designer and business owner who supports other heart-centered entrepreneurs. It doesn’t feel generic or overly spiritualized—it feels grounded in real-life business rhythms, burnout, growth, fear, joy, and momentum.Since getting it, I’ve used it in my own business planning, in group settings with other business owners, and even as a gift for fellow entrepreneurs who also love tarot and oracle. It’s one of those decks that just fits into real life.Unlike tarot or most oracle systems, these categories are intentionally separated. It’s warm, friendly, motivational, and realistic in a way many oracle decks aren’t. The tone is compassionate but not fluffy. Every card either helps you feel good or do good, and both sides support sustainable business growth.Style:This is an affirmation and action deck, not tarot and not a traditional oracle. The energy is supportive, practical, encouraging, and grounded in everyday business realities. It’s about momentum, self-trust, care, and sustainability—not hustle at all costs.Structure:The deck has 48 cards, split into two types: Feel Good cards (affirmations) and Do Good cards (gentle action prompts). You can use them together or separately.Imagery:The aesthetic is bold, clean, and fun—hot pink, black, white text, and simple graphic symbols. It feels modern, playful, and affirming without being overly busy or symbolic.The backs of the cards alternate between:Three hearts + “Feel Good”Three stars + “Do Good”The front of the cards is either:Pink for Feel GoodBlack for Do GoodWhat I use it for:This is a beautiful deck to bring into community spaces—retreats, coworking sessions, networking events, or even tabling at business-focused gatherings. It’s approachable, supportive, and easy for people who may be intimidated by tarot.It's one of my favorite decks to use when I’m:navigating business overwhelmfeeling stuck or discouragedplanning my next stepsrunning group gatherings with other business ownersdoing quarterly or seasonal business reflectionhosting networking or creative planning sessionsWhat I don’t use it for:This deck is intentionally niche—it’s made for business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs. If someone is not connected to business or creative work, some of the prompts may not feel as relevant, though many are still universally affirming.I don’t reach for this deck when:someone wants a traditional tarot readingthe question is deeply emotional, spiritual, or shadow-focusedI’m working with complex spreads or symbolism💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From It’s Grow Time deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray, I pulled Do Good: “Schedule a virtual coffee or tea chat.”This card is an invitation into connection, momentum, and relational nourishment. It's a reminder that growth doesn’t have to happen alone.Reflective prompts on this card:Who have I been thinking about lately but haven’t reached out to?What kind of support or connection would feel nourishing right now?Where might collaboration or shared energy help me move forward?Ways to Connect & Support:Newsletter: Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on January 3rd!

Today, I’m talking about The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fenn Inkwright — an oracle-meets-storytelling deck built around a walled city, its people, and the roles they play. It’s part divination tool, part worldbuilding engine, and part love letter to fantasy and tabletop role-playing games.My Story with This DeckI found this deck while I was traveling, and I wasn’t even looking for an oracle deck at the time. I had gone into a bookstore hoping to find something botanical or nature-based, and instead, this deck practically insisted on being seen. The imagery stopped me in my tracks.At first glance, it felt theatrical. Dramatic. Heavy with story. And once I learned that the entire deck was structured around a walled city—the Citadel—made up of different social roles and districts, I was fully hooked.What surprised me most was that this deck didn’t feel soothing. It felt activating. Challenging even! Like it wanted to show me who I was becoming, beyond what I was feeling at the moment. The Citadel is an oracle deck with a strong narrative flavor. The deck blends the energy of role-playing games, fantasy fiction, and divination.Style:Each card represents a role or archetype within the city. Instead of traditional tarot minors and majors, you’re stepping into a living setting: a fantasy citadel with its own politics, social structures, and tensions.The cards themselves are visually striking: black backgrounds, rich red linework, and metallic foil details (more copper-gold than bright yellow). The corners of each card are cut off, which sounds small but makes the deck feel distinct in the hand and surprisingly satisfying to shuffle.Structure:This is an oracle deck, not a tarot deck—but it still has a clear internal structure. The city of The Citadel is built in four concentric districts, each represented by a suit:The Court is the heart of power, leadership, completion, and responsibility.The Academy holds learning, innovation, and inner development.The Crowd represents labor, community, family, and survival.The Troop moves around—artists, travelers, performers, and those who live between identities.Imagery:The imagery focuses more on symbolic scenes and hands than on detailed faces. This creates a feeling that you’re looking at illuminated panels from a fantasy codex or in-game artifact rather than a traditional oracle. The vibe is theatrical, slightly dramatic, and very immersive.What I use it for:I want a story-driven readingI’m exploring identity, roles, power, or communitySomeone I’m reading for is into D&D, RPGs, gaming, or fantasyI want to pull a single archetype to flavor a tarot spreadI’m doing creative or narrative workBecause it includes upright and reversed meanings, I also like using it as a standalone oracle for deeper reflection. What I don’t use it for:This is not a soothing deck—it’s a catalytic one, working with roles, friction, becoming, and consequence. I don’t usually reach for this deck when:someone wants a classic tarot readingthe question is very practical or yes/noa person feels overwhelmed by symbolic complexitythey want soft, emotional, or gentle imagery💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Miser (Reversed)The Ten of Wands reminds us that even magic can become heavy if we overcommit. Color Magic doesn’t need to be elaborate or exhausting. Let it be a gentle, sensory ritual that supports rather than overwhelms.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I holding too tightly out of fear?What would shift if I softened my grip?Where does control feel like protection where does it feel like a burden?Ways to Connect & Support:Newsletter: Get my⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠ + magic straight to your inbox.Local?

Today’s episode explores the bold, neon-soaked magic of the Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsey D'Amour Williams—a Rider–Waite–Smith–based deck infused with Southwestern desert energy, historical figures, cactus medicine, and yes… aliens!My Story with This DeckI found this deck at Crescent Moon Gifts in University Place, Washington, after one of my tarot socials. I was looking for something new, and this one immediately stood out—bright colors, bold lines, and a vibe that felt both mystical and mischievous.At first glance, I didn’t even notice the aliens. I was drawn in by the desert imagery, the cactus symbolism, and the intense psychedelic color palette. Then, when I got it home, I started working with it and realized just how layered and strange it really is—in the best way!It quickly became one of my go-to “bright energy” decks when I want something that still reads cleanly with Rider–Waite–Smith structure, but doesn’t take itself too seriously.This deck is vibrant, weird, and energetic. It’s playful without being shallow, grounded without being heavy. It carries a sense of humor, possibility, and movement that makes readings feel lively rather than solemn.Style:This deck is bold, psychedelic, and deeply rooted in Southwestern desert mythology. The color palette is electric—neon pinks, turquoise, lime green, and glowing gold dominate the artwork. Aliens, desert mesas, peyote-like cactus imagery, and surreal spiritual motifs give the deck a playful, high-strangeness feel that still holds real depth. It feels rebellious, magical, and chaotically alive.Structure:The Desert Illuminations Tarot is rooted in the Rider–Waite–Smith system, but reinterprets the symbols through the land, myth, and culture of the Southwestern United States. It stays structurally close to traditional tarot, but the suit names are transformed to reflect desert culture and elemental energy:Pentacles - CactusWands - ChiliesSwords - DaggersCups - Mystic JugsThe deck includes a detailed guidebook (codex) with full interpretations, sample spreads, and a special Cactus Spread unique to this deck.Imagery:The cards are saturated with movement, heat, and surreal symbolism. Everything glows. Psychedelic skies, radiant desert plants, neon spirits, cowboys, and cosmic imagery blend in a way that feels both ancient and futuristic. The art is loud in the best way—impossible to ignore and rich with visual metaphor.What I use it for:It’s especially great for creative questions, personal growth, and moments when someone needs encouragement without emotional heaviness.What I don’t use it for:I usually don’t reach for this deck when:the question is emotionally heavy or tendersomeone needs very soft, gentle imagerya quiet, grounding tone is requireda client prefers classic, muted traditional deck💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams , I pulled the Nine of Jugs (Reversed).This reversal reminds us that fulfillment isn’t only something waiting at the finish line. Sometimes it’s already here, but only if we allow ourselves to acknowledge it.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I minimizing my own accomplishments?What joy have I postponed until “everything is finished”?What would it look like to celebrate right now, even imperfectly?What abundance is already present that I’m not fully acknowledging?Ways to Connect & SupportNewsletter: Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxLocal?

In this episode, I’m talking about the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle – Velvet Goddess Edition by Alana Fairchild, with artwork by Wang Yiguang. This is my very first oracle deck, and it has become a tender, powerful companion for seasons of deep inner work, grief, and gentle transformation.My Story with This DeckI found the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle in one of those tiny, overflowing witchy shops in Beacon, New York—crystals packed on every surface, herbs in jars, shelves stacked to the ceiling. I’d been half-looking for a new tarot deck, but nothing was quite landing.Then I saw this huge, deep purple box with “Wild Kuan Yin Oracle: Velvet Goddess Edition” on the front.I picked it up. Put it back. Circled the store. Came back to it. You know that feeling when a deck just won’t stop calling you? That was this one.This is also my first oracle deck, which makes it extra special. It really did open something in me about working with cards outside the structure of tarot—more fluid, more intuitive, more like receiving a blessing or a healing session than “getting an answer.”This is an oracle deck, not a tarot deck, so it does not follow the Rider–Waite–Smith system. It feels less like “here’s what your card means” and more like “here’s a doorway into healing with this energy.”Style:The Velvet Goddess Edition absolutely leans into its name. The whole experience is lush:A large, royal purple box with a matching velvet drawstring bag for the cardsA substantial guidebook (almost 300 pages) printed in rich purple ink44 oversized oracle cards that give the artwork plenty of space to breatheEnergetically, the deck is all about the Divine Mother as wild, loving, and fiercely compassionate. The tone is deeply comforting, but not fluffy—more like a wise aunt who will stroke your hair and tell you it’s time to stop abandoning yourself.Structure:It reads almost like a combination of an oracle deck, a devotional text, and a trauma-informed healing guide. You could easily pull one card a week and have plenty to work with.Imagery:The artwork by Wang Yiguang is rich, painterly, and deeply atmospheric. The palette is saturated but soft: earthy browns, deep reds, cool blues, and luminous light. It feels like stepping into a dream where time moves differently. Most cards are oil paintings inspired by Tibetan landscapes, animals, and figures.What I use it for:I reach for the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle when I—or someone I’m reading for—needs deep, gentle, spiritually rooted support rather than quick answers.Each card often becomes a full practice: reading the message, doing the healing process, and sitting with the imagery. One card can easily be a whole afternoon’s spiritual work.What I don’t use it for:I don’t usually reach for this deck when:someone wants a fast, straightforward answerI’m doing a quick, multi-card spread or “light” check-inthe querent is expecting a traditional tarot structureI’m reading on a tight time budget💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Wild Kuan Yin Oracle: The Velvet Goddess Edition by Alana Fairchild , I pulled the “Harvest Mother Watches Over Me.”This is a reminder that sometimes the most important work isn’t new action—it’s slowing down and letting things settle so wisdom can crystallize.Reflective prompts on this card:Where have I been moving so fast that I haven’t actually processed what I’ve experienced?What needs to be harvested from this past season of my life—insights, lessons, boundaries, grief, celebrations?If I trusted that a loving, maternal presence was watching over me, what would I allow myself to release?Ways to Connect & Support:Newsletter: Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our next event, New Year Full Moon Healing Circle on 1/3 from 2-4pm!

Today, I’m talking about the Therapist Who Tarot deck, created by therapist and tarot teacher Dreya Blume, with watercolor imagery by art therapist Rebecca Bloom. This is a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, self-inquiry, and healing work, and it has a very specific role in my collection.My Story with This DeckI found this deck in a very on-brand way: at a Therapists Who Tarot retreat in spring 2024, led by Dreya and Rebecca. Each morning, we dove into how to ethically and thoughtfully bring tarot into therapy sessions—how to document it, talk about it with clients, and integrate it into our clinical work. In the afternoons, we shifted into art: cutting, gluing, painting, and making our own collage tarot cards while learning about the symbolism of the deck.It was one of those rare experiences that felt both deeply professional and deeply witchy.By the end of the retreat, I knew I wanted a tangible way to carry that learning and that community forward, so I bought the Therapist Who Tarot deck directly from them. This is the deck I think of as “therapist brain meets tarot brain”—in the best possible way.Style:The Therapists Who Tarot Deck is warm, approachable, and deliberately reflective. It doesn’t try to be mystical or intimidating. It feels like a deck made for real people having real feelings—something you’d use in a session, a journal practice, or a quiet moment when you’re trying to understand yourself a little better.Structure:The deck follows the familiar Rider–Waite–Smith structure, but with a couple of intentional shifts. Pentacles become Spirals, a symbol rooted in nature and growth, and Pages are renamed Daughters, while Knights, Queens, and Kings stay the same.There’s no traditional guidebook. But beginners can still use this deck as a gentle, introspective tool rather than relying on memorized meanings. Each card invites you to interpret it through three elements:the artworkthe single keywordand the reflection questions printed on the backImagery:Everything is painted in watercolor, giving the deck a soft, fluid quality. Figures are often implied rather than detailed—shapes, silhouettes, and gestures that feel human without being literal. The color palettes vary, and each suit has a distinct border color to anchor the imagery.What I use it for:I reach for the Therapist Tarot Deck when I want tarot to feel like a reflective conversation rather than a strict “prediction.” It’s especially supportive when I’m doing work that’s adjacent to therapy, journaling, or emotional processing.What I don’t use it for:There are a few instances where this deck isn’t my first choice:when someone is brand new to tarot and really wants clear, traditional meanings and reversalswhen we’re doing a big, structured spread that leans heavily on classical symbolismwhen a querent wants a very mystical, archetypal, or ritual-heavy feelwhen I need detailed upright/reversed interpretations directly from a guidebookIt’s not the deck I’d hand someone who says, “I want the cards to tell me exactly what to do.” It’s more for, “I want to better understand how I’m feeling and what I might need.”💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Therapists Who Tarot Deck, I pulled the Four of Wands (Reversed).In reverse, the heart of the Four of Wands asks us to consider where support, stability, and celebration live in our lives—and where we might be blocking ourselves from fully stepping into them.Reflective prompts on this card:Is there a community I miss, or one I’m afraid to fully show up in?Who feels like “home” to me right now? How can I honor that?Is there a milestone, shift, or small victory I haven’t allowed myself to celebrate yet? Why?Ways to Connect & SupportJoin my newsletter to get my⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠ + magic straight to your inbox.Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Local?

Today, I’m talking about a very specific kind of portal: The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair. This isn’t just a deck; it’s an entire ritual system for working with Venusian energy, erotic embodiment, and the divine feminine in all her messy, sacred, sensual glory.My Story with This DeckI didn’t stumble on this deck by accident—I sought it out.I’d been following Gabriela Herstik on Instagram for years, reading her work on witchcraft, sex magic, and goddess devotion. I’d read her books, seen her sacred slut coven offerings, and watched her lean more and more deeply into Venusian, erotic, and ritual work. So when I heard she was creating a tarot deck specifically centered on the erotic divine feminine, my ears perked up.The Goddess of Love Tarot felt like the natural next step in her body of work—and in mine.When the deck arrived, it was immediately clear that this wasn’t “just another tarot.” The book is substantial—closer to a short occult text than a little white booklet. It felt like being handed an entire love-and-lust-centered magical curriculum wrapped in pink and roses.This is one of the few decks I use not just as a reader, but as a student and practitioner. I reach for it when I want to reconnect to my own sensuality, creative power, and softness—not as something passive, but as something sacred and potent.Style:This deck is unapologetically Venusian. Pink ink, red borders, roses everywhere, statues of goddesses and sacred feminine figures, dolphins, oceans, soft bodies, altars, and lush textures. Even the guidebook is printed entirely in pink, which makes it feel like an object of ritual all on its own.Structure:The structure is rooted in the Rider–Waite–Smith system, but intentionally reimagined through a divine feminine lens.The book also weaves in a wide range of goddess traditions—not just Greco-Roman, but Sumerian, African diasporic, Hindu, Egyptian, and more. You’ll meet figures like Inanna, Oshun, Kali, Lilith, Isis, Mary Magdalene, and beyond. It’s very much a global, intersectional approach to the divine feminine.Imagery:Everything leans sensual and evocative: flowing hair, soft curves, lush flowers, water, fruit, silk, and light. Even the borders and color choices feel intentional—reds and pinks that echo flesh, blood, desire, and heart energy.What I use it for:This is a deck I reach for when the question or situation is explicitly about love, lust, desire, or relationship to self as a sensual, embodied being. It’s also powerful for creative work and magic that centers the body, pleasure, and Venusian themes.What I don’t use it for:This is not my default deck for every querent or every situation. It’s a powerful ally, but it asks for consent, readiness, and a certain openness to the erotic as sacred.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck, I pulled The Empress (Upright).The Empress in this deck is Venus herself—oceanic, lush, radiant, and deeply in love with the act of creating beauty. She’s the embodiment of pleasure as nourishment, desire as a compass, and creativity as a living, breathing force.Reflective prompts on this card:Where in my life am I being invited to receive more pleasure instead of rationing it?What wants to be created through me right now—creatively, emotionally, or erotically?How can I soften into beauty, rather than treating it as a reward I have to earn?What would it look like to treat my desires as sacred guidance instead of something to apologize for?Ways to Connect & SupportGet my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxJoin our last ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full Moon Circle of 2025Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today, I’m sharing a deck that feels like a deep exhale: The Anima Mundi Tarot. This deck came home with me from Salem, Massachusetts, during a witchy retreat with my coven in 2022, and it’s been a steady presence in my readings ever since.My Story with This DeckI found the Anima Mundi Tarot on a trip to Salem with my coven—the Dirty Hoe Coven, to be exact—during our very first retreat together. I was determined to bring home a deck that felt like a true souvenir of the trip. After wandering through several metaphysical shops and running my hands across more decks than I could reasonably justify, this was the one that spoke to me. The colors, the animals, the moodiness—it felt like a quiet, grounded invitation. At the time, it became my third-ever tarot deck, and it opened up an entirely new way of reading for myself and others.This deck holds the memory of that trip—walking cobblestone streets with my coven, sharing meals, doing spells together, and laughing until my stomach hurt. Whenever I pick it up, I feel that same warmth and belonging.There’s a softness to the artwork of this deck that makes it approachable even for people who are totally new to tarot. It’s intuitive, friendly, and gentle while still carrying depth.Style:The Anima Mundi Tarot has a moody, earthy aesthetic that feels like stepping into a dusk-lit forest. The palette is subdued—blacks, browns, charcoals, muted blues—and the card backs feature a delicate floral design overlaid with the triple moon. It feels witchy without being theatrical, and natural without losing its enchantment.Structure:This is a traditional 78-card Rider–Waite–Smith deck, structured exactly as a beginner would expect. The major arcana keep their standard names, and the suits follow the usual associations. The guidebook is small but incredibly usable, with upright and reversed meanings for every card, plus a note about the specific plant or animal featured. It also includes simple spreads, which makes it beginner-friendly.Imagery:The imagery is entirely flora and fauna—no humans anywhere in the deck. Each card features an animal or plant chosen intentionally for its symbolism. Some of the major arcana include iconic PNW symbols. The art is painted in acrylics, which gives it a warm, organic feel.What I use it for:I reach for the Anima Mundi Tarot when I want something approachable, intuitive, and nurturing—especially for querents who are brand new to tarot. The animal symbolism gives people something to connect to immediately, even if they’ve never seen a tarot card in their life.This deck feels steady, calm, and welcoming. It reads beautifully for personal reflection or for people who might feel intimidated by more intense imagery.What I don’t use it for:Because this deck doesn’t include human figures, I don’t usually use it for relationship-specific questions or readings where interpersonal dynamics need more literal representation.I also tend to avoid it when:someone wants dramatic symbolism or a highly visual RWS clonethe reading calls for shadow work with sharper edges a querent needs a strong visual anchor for archetypes like The Emperor, The Lovers, or The FoolBut overall, the deck is versatile and reliable—one of the most adaptable decks in my collection.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden, I pulled the Knight of Wands (Upright).This card carries fiery momentum. It invites you to move boldly toward something new, to trust your instincts, and to let excitement be the spark that moves you forward.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I being asked to take action instead of waiting?What excites me right now, even if it scares me?How can I channel my energy into something purposeful today?Ways to Connect & SupportGet my FREE 2025 5-card Tarot Spread by Joining my newsletter listBe a Guest on my PodcastJoin us for our last Full Moon Circle of 2025 on 12/7

This season is all about introducing you to the decks I love, the ones I rely on, and the ones that have shaped my tarot practice. Today, I’m talking about the Ophidia Rosa Tarot by Leila + Olive. I followed the artist online for years, and when I saw them teasing images of this deck—botanical, moody, hand-drawn, and unapologetically natural—I was immediately drawn in. I ordered it as soon as it was released. It’s floral, intuitive, shadowy, and deeply symbolic. But it’s also one of the more enigmatic decks in my collection. Unlike many of my tarot decks, the Ophidia Rosa Tarot didn’t come into my life through a shop or a moment of serendipity... I found it online. I was following Leila + Olive on Instagram somewhere around 2019 or 2020, and I remember seeing a preview of the artwork: matte illustrations, botanical borders, coiled serpents, mushrooms, vines, petals. It was instantly magnetic.But reading with it? That was another story! This deck speaks quietly. Symbolically. Poetically. It does not hand you the interpretation, it wants you to meet it halfway. You have to come in already knowing the tarot or be willing to sit with ambiguity. The Ophidia Rosa Tarot is one of the most artist-driven decks in my collection. Everything about it is informed by botanical symbolism and the language of plants.Style:The Ophidia Rosa Tarot carries a soft, botanical, witchy aesthetic—matte card-stock, muted golden edges, and delicate linework. The coiled snake on the card backs sets the tone for a deck that feels earthy, mystical, and rooted in plant magic.Structure:This deck follows the traditional Rider–Waite–Smith system. The major arcana use standard names and Roman numerals, and the four suits remain intact. The guidebook is intentionally sparse, offering only short poetic lines rather than explanations, so it’s best suited for readers who rely on intuition or already know the tarot archetypes well.Imagery:Every card is built from simple botanical illustrations—vines, blossoms, stems, mushrooms, and serpents. Wands appear as branches, Pentacles often as mushrooms, Swords as thorned stems, and Cups implied rather than literal. The imagery is symbolic, minimal, and atmospheric, inviting you to interpret rather than be instructed.What I use it for:The Ophidia Rosa Tarot is a deck I reach for when I’m craving something intuitive, poetic, and atmospheric. Because the guidebook is sparse and the imagery leans metaphorical rather than literal, this deck shines in practices that invite spaciousness and contemplation. It’s a deck that asks you to sit with it, breathe with it, and let the meaning rise on its own time. If you love symbolic or herbal imagery, this deck feels like opening an old garden gate and wandering inside.What I don’t use it for:This isn’t the deck I reach for when someone is brand-new to tarot or feeling overwhelmed. The imagery is beautiful, but it’s subtle—there aren’t clear cues for beginners, and the booklet won’t walk anyone through the cards in a structured way. The Ophidia Rosa Tarot is gorgeous, but it’s not a starter deck. You bring more of yourself into the reading than the deck gives back—and for intuitive readers, that’s exactly what makes it so magical.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Ophidia Rosa Tarot deck by Leila & Olive, I pulled the Five of Cups (Upright) - “Growth to the sun, too high to hold on.”This card reminds us that disappointment isn’t failure—it’s information. Sometimes something stops blooming not to punish us, but because we’re meant to plant ourselves somewhere new.Reflective prompts on this card:What emotional story am I ready to set down, even if it feels tender to release?What am I gripping too tightly that might be healthier to let go?What expectations have grown “too high to hold on”?Ways to Connect & Support

Welcome back to Every Day Tarot and to Season 19, where I’m diving into something I’ve wanted to explore for a long time: different tarot decks and how to use them!Today, I’m talking about The Sasuraibito Tarot, a deck that holds a very special place in my heart. This was the first tarot deck I ever owned, and in many ways, it’s the deck that taught me how to read tarot. It’s moody, modern, a little goth, a little Buddhist, and deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest—the place I call home. If a tarot deck could be a friend you’ve had since your twenties, this would be mine.My Story with this DeckI still remember the first time I saw this deck. There was a little boutique I used to walk past on my way to work in downtown Seattle—one of those handmade clothing shops where everything is beautiful and expensive, and you go inside even if you know you can’t afford anything. I was drawn in by the window displays long before I ever stepped inside.One day, tucked between racks of hand-sewn dresses and local jewelry, I noticed this single tarot deck—just one, not a whole collection. I picked it up, put it back, picked it up again. It felt like the deck was waiting for me, even though at the time I wasn’t actively looking for one.When I finally bought it, I didn’t know that this would be the deck that carried me through the years right before grad school, during huge transitions, heartbreaks, and new beginnings. I was wandering in a very literal sense—trying to figure out who I was becoming—and the name Sasuraibito translates to “wanderer.” It fit me more than I realized at the time.Style:It has a dark, slightly goth aesthetic—black borders, rich colors, a death moth on the back of the cards. But it’s also soft in places. Human. Tender. The imagery feels like it belongs to the world we live in right now, not a medieval fantasy.Structure:This is a Rider–Waite–Smith format deck through and through. No renamed cards. No rearranged suits. But with a twist: the minor cards spell out their numbers rather than using Roman numerals. (Bless. Truly.)Imagery:The deck is filled with Pacific Northwest vibes—mountains, hikers, tea, cozy interiors, rainy moods. The people in the deck are diverse in race, gender presentation, and expression. There are queer folks, androgynous folks, people with multicolored hair, people who feel like they might actually live down the street from me.The guidebook is written by the artist themselves, which I adore. Sometimes they explain exactly why they drew something a certain way, and it feels like getting a personal behind-the-scenes tour of their creative mind. It’s such a cohesive experience.What I use it for:This deck is the one I reach for when I want clarity, honesty, or a grounding visual cue. It’s vivid and expressive, and the interpretations are strong without being harsh. What I don’t use it for:This deck isn’t always my go-to for people who are brand-new to tarot and feeling nervous about it. The imagery isn’t frightening—but it is moody, and some people need something gentler at first. In those cases, I tend to reach for my Anima Mundi deck or other softer, earth-based decks.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington, I pulled the Three of Swords (Reversed).The Three of Swords speaks about heartbreak, grief, and the experience of being hurt or even hurting someone else. Reversed, this leans into forgiveness, healing, and moving on—making space for understanding and integration after the storm.Reflective prompts on this card:Where in my life am I still carrying an old heartbreak that wants acknowledgment?Am I holding onto a story of being “wronged” that’s ready to soften or shift?In what ways might I be unintentionally wounding myself or others, and what would repair look like?Ways to Connect & Support:Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we talk about the power of silver—the color of moonlight, reflection, intuition, and the liminal spaces between worlds. Silver invites you to listen inward, honor your instincts, and walk with your inner light even when the path ahead is not fully visible.What we explore in this episode:What silver is in color magic, and how it differs from greySilver’s connection to the Moon, winter, and liminal thresholdsDay-of-the-week and seasonal correspondences for silverHow “moon energy” and silver show up in tarot and oracle symbolismUnderstanding Silver in Color MagicSilver is essentially metallic grey—a tone that resembles polished silver metal. What makes silver unique isn’t just its color, but its shine and reflectivity. Where grey can feel flat or neutral, silver feels alive, shifting, and responsive to light.In color magic, silver is associated with:The Moon and lunar deitiesIntuition, dreams, and psychic sensitivityThe subconscious, mystery, and the unseenReflection—self-inquiry, journaling, and emotional processingProtection from harmful or draining influencesThreshold spaces: endings, beginnings, and journeys through the unknownSilver is the color of Monday | Moon: dreams, intuition, emotional safety, and spiritual growth.  Silver pairs especially well with winter and deep night. It’s softer than gold’s blazing radiance, where gold beams outward, silver invites you inward—toward your inner landscape, your instincts, and your emotional tides. To align with silver’s magic, consider practices that honor stillness, reflection, and gentle inner listening. Silver is powerful magic for:Dreamwork and moon ritualsAncestral or spirit communicationIntuition-building practicesEmotional protection and energetic boundariesNavigating transitions and big inner decisionsTarot, Symbolism, and the Power of SilverSince metallic ink can be hard to reproduce, silver often shows up symbolically in tarot and oracle decks through:Moonlight, stars, and night skiesWater, glass, and reflective surfacesCool palettes like blues, greys, whitesAnimals and figures associated with nighttime, intuition, or liminalityBelow are some of the cards discussed in this episode and how they embody silver energy.The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington Knight of Cups - Silver energy here represents quiet introspection, emotional sensitivity, and moving through the world guided by feeling and intuition.The Star - This is a silver starlight of hope—soft, subtle, but steady enough to navigate by.Nine of Swords - Silver shows up as the sharp edge of the mind, late-night spirals, and worries that feel louder in the dark.Seasons of the Witch Samhain OracleJourney - Silver appears as the glow of the unknown road ahead, the underworld journey through inner terrain—grief, transformation, and becoming.Protection - Three veiled figures stand like guardians or ancestors. This card brings silver as spiritual warding and ancestral shielding, reminding you that you are watched over as you move through liminal space.Wolf - A wolf howls at the moon while figures kneel near a hearth.

In this episode, we talk about the power of gold—the color of sunlight, harvest, sacred wisdom, and the kind of abundance that’s earned slowly over time. Gold invites you to honor what you’ve built, what you’ve learned, and how you’re shining right now.What we explore in this episode:What gold means in color magic and how gold functions as a “solar + harvest” currentHow gold connects to seasonal and sabbat correspondences in witchcraftThe way gold shows up symbolically in tarot and oracle imageryUnderstanding Gold in Color MagicGold is not just “money vibes”—it’s legacy energy. It’s the color of a full grain silo, a well-stocked pantry, the glow of candles on a ritual altar, the golden hour before sunset, the mead of poetry, and the wisdom that comes from living through multiple cycles.Either way, magically speaking, gold is almost always associated with:The Sun and solar radianceAbundance and rewardHarvest and “earned” wealthHonor, recognition, and prestigeEnlightenment and illuminationDivine inspiration, poetry, and sacred knowledgeGold is the color of Sunday | Sun: vitality, visibility, confidence, solar magic. Perfect for honoring your life-force, success, and joy.Gold doesn’t always show up in the simple “one color per planet/day” lists. Think of gold as the color you reach for when you want your magic to be bright, blessed, and built to last. It has strong intuitive ties:Harvest & gratitude ritualsLong-term prosperity and sustainability (not just quick cash)Creative recognition, visibility, and sharing your workIllumination in study, writing, music, and poetrySolar offerings and working with deities of light, truth, and inspirationTarot, Symbolism, and the Power of GoldBecause not every deck can print literal metallic ink, gold symbolism often sneaks in as yellow, wheat, hair, light, mead, or glowing objects. In the decks you mentioned, gold shows up through harvest, hair, vessels, and sacred tools.Norse Goddess Rune OracleJera | Goddess Sif - Harvest, Reward, Yearly Cycle - Gold here represents earned abundance, patient growth, and the wealth that comes from the land.Wunjo | Goddess Lofn - Joy, Happiness, Peace - Gold in this card says: "Joy is sacred." Honor the pleasure of simply being.Kenaz | Goddess Gunnlǫð - Torch, Enlightenment, Passion - Here, gold = inspired fire. It's the glow of candles, the warmth of shared stories, the alchemy of word and song.Seasons of the Witch Samhain OracleDivination - A figure sits with cards, candles, and what looks like a golden box or gilded deck. Shedding light on what is hidden.The Witch - Surrounded by abundance and crowned in luminous hair. Gold marks the alchemy of self.

It represents the energy you build over time through repeated acts of magic.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Botanist (Reversed).The Botanist is usually the one who studies, nurtures, and understands growth—a caretaker of plants, cycles, and ecosystems. In reverse, this card suggests that you might be hovering, managing, or “fixing” others in a way that creates stress for them and for you.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I trying to micromanage someone else’s growth instead of trusting their path?What would it look like to offer support without control?Where can I turn that golden, nurturing energy back toward my body, my home, or my projects?Ways to Connect & Support:Join my Newsletter list to get my⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠ + magic straight to your inboxBe a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we talk about the power of brown—the color of soil, tree bark, cacao, roots, and so much of our embodied, earthly life. Brown invites you to reconnect with your foundations: your body, your home, your long-term growth, and your relationship to the land.What we explore in this episode:How brown is created in color theory, and where it shows up in nature and everyday lifeWhat color magic is and how brown works as a grounding, root-level energyWays brown shows up in tarot symbolism through roots, wood, soil, and plant alliesUnderstanding Brown in Color MagicBrown is a darkened or desaturated shade of orange, often created by mixing many colors together. It’s one of the most common colors in the natural world—showing up in soil, bark, seeds, nuts, coffee, cacao, animal fur, and human hair and eyes.In color magic, brown can represent:Grounding and stabilityHome, hearth, and domestic magicEndurance and long-term commitmentsRoots, ancestry, and land-based wisdomSlow, sustainable growthPracticality, work, and responsibilityEmbodiment and connection to the physical worldBrown isn’t always a “flashy” spell color—but it’s the one you reach for when you want something to last, to be real, and to be rooted in the body and the earth. When working magically with brown, you might focus on:Grounding and centering practicesLong-term projects and slow growthCreating or tending a home or hearth spaceCommitments that need patience and resilienceDays of the Week & BrownBrown doesn’t have a traditional, fixed day-of-the-week association in many common correspondence lists. However, you can intuitively place brown where it makes sense for your practice:Tuesday (Red | Mars): if you’re working with brown as a deepened, earthier extension of red or orange, especially around courage + survival.Sunday or Monday: if you blend brown with golds, creams, or whites as “warm earth” or “home-light” energy.Or simply as your “Hearth Day” color—whichever day you clean, cook, budget, meal-prep, garden, or tend your home.Tarot, Symbolism, and the Power of BrownIn tarot imagery, brown often appears through wood, soil, bark, roots, and plant material. It points us toward themes of embodiment, time, and structure—the unglamorous but sacred work of staying alive and building a life.The Herbcrafter’s TarotThe Hierophant (The Healer | Kindness) - Brown imagery here is about drawing wisdom from what has survived, not just what is written.The World (Success) - Brown shows that true “world” energy includes the body, the land, and your lived reality, not just spiritual ideals.Queen of Cups (Calm | Harmony) - Brown suggests emotional maturity that’s grounded, not floaty or detached.Therapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca BloomSeven of Earth (Oak) - Brown bark, acorns, and wood point to legacy, stewardship, and trust in time.The Hanged One (Burdock) - Brown here symbolizes the inner work that happens underground, unseen, but vital. Seven of Fire (Cinnamon) - Brown reminds us that heat and spice can be grounded, embodied, and rooted in tradition.The Hierophant (Cacao) - Brown cacao beans and drink remind us that wisdom must be taken in slowly, with respect.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle, I pulled Third Harvest (Upright).This is a card of preparation, gratitude, and stored abundance. It asks you to look at everything you’ve grown, gathered, and built and recognize that it’s enough to sustain you through the “winter” seasons of your life.Reflective prompts on this card:What have I harvested this year—skills, relationships, healing, money, art, insight?Where can I pause and really acknowledge how far I’ve come?What “stores” (rituals, people, tools, savings) can I lean on when my energy dips?Ways to Connect & SupportJoin my Newsletter list to get my⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠ + magic straight to your inbox!Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we talk about the power of pink—a tender, powerful tint of red that lives at the crossroads of softness and strength. Pink invites you to explore emotional love, care, romance, and the nuanced spectrum of femininity, while also honoring your own delight, sensitivity, and sweetness.Understanding Pink in Color MagicPink is a pale tint of red, originally named after the "pinks" flower (Dianthus). As a color name, pink is relatively new compared to many other hues, emerging in the late 17th century.Historically, pink was not always coded as a "feminine" color. In the early 20th century, light red (close to what we now call pink) was sometimes seen as a strong, masculine shade. Over time, cultural narratives shifted, and pink became heavily linked to girlhood and femininity, especially in Western contexts.Pink is not traditionally assigned to a single chakra, but in color magic it acts like a bridge between two ends of the spectrum:Red (Root chakra):Fire, blood, survival, passion, creation and destructionGrounding, physical embodiment, primal life forcePurple or white (Crown chakra):Divine connection, higher wisdom, soul energySpiritual insight, source, and transcendencePink can be seen as a heart-led blend of these energies: love that is embodied but also aspirational; devotion that holds both tenderness and intensity.In color magic, pink is often worked with for:Emotional love and romancePartnerships and intimacyFriendships, goodwill, and social warmthPeaceful connection and reconciliationEmotional healing and gentle self-compassionNurturing and care, for self and othersTarot, Symbolism, and the Power of PinkPink shows up in tarot wherever emotional love, tenderness, pleasure, or receptive power is being emphasized. In many decks, it appears as blossoms, fabrics, skies, or background tones that soften or deepen the mood of a card.The Herbcrafter’s TarotThe Empress (Rose) - While roses are often associated with red, many are pink, and the card’s imagery leans into love, sensuality, beauty, and protection (thorns).Nine of Cups (Nine of Water | Peach) - Peach blossoms are a vivid pink, representing sweetness, ripeness, and emotional fulfillment. Knight of Cups (Adelita of Water | Ocotillo) - Pink here speaks to a guarded but generous heart: strong boundaries with a vibrant, loving core. The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams Pink appears throughout the deck in sunsets, clothing, and surreal desert symbolism, where it often signals:Emotional intensity without losing playfulnessDeep feeling inside dynamic or chaotic situationsHeart energy woven into fire, air, or earth experiencesHigh Priestess in a pink gown or pink-toned skies behind figures can highlight intuitive knowing, the sacred feminine, and where the heart is involved—as healing, longing, risk, tenderness, or devotion.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Goddess of Love Tarot, I pulled two cards: the Five of Wands and the Maiden of Cups.The Five of Wands carries the firepower of Mars. Pink here reminds you that even conflict in relationships can be held with care, clarity, and a willingness to communicate instead of defaulting to petty tactics or defensiveness.The Maiden of Cups is: vulnerable, dreamy, and wildly open-hearted. Pink in this card highlights the courage it takes to say what you feel, to risk softness, and to let yourself be moved by beauty and affection.Reflective prompts on this card:Where am I being invited to soften without abandoning my boundaries?How do I express what I am truly feeling, even when it makes me vulnerable?In what ways am I fighting for love, and in what ways am I just fighting out of habit or fear?How can I invite more tenderness, sweetness, and playfulness into my relationships—including my relationship with myself?Ways to Connect & Support:Join my Newsletter to get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inbox

In this episode, we talk about the power of orange—the color of creativity, change, sensuality, and the spark that brings new things into being. In tarot, orange is a natural fit for cards that speak to motion, creativity, risk, and the tension between transformation and control.What we explore in this episode:How orange connects to the sacral chakra, creativity, and sensual energyThe fiery, transformative side of orange in tarot archetypesWhere orange can support ambition, risk-taking, and disciplined follow-throughUnderstanding Orange in Color MagicOrange lives between red and yellow on the visible spectrum. In traditional color theory, it is a secondary color, created by mixing red and yellow paints. In light-based models, it is a tertiary color that emerges between the primary beams of red and green.Orange carries both the heat of red and the optimism of yellow. It is the moment when the fire is high, the project is underway, and you are asked to decide how you will use that power.Because of this connection to ripeness, warmth, and seasonal change, Orange often carries associations with:Harvest and autumnJoy, amusement, and playExtroversion and unconventional expressionFire, energy, and activitySensuality, taste, and aromaIn color magic, orange is often connected to the sacral chakra, the seat of:Sexual energy and sensualityCreativity and artistic expressionThe womb and all that is waiting to be createdFlow, movement, and emotional fluxTransformation through pleasure and changeFrom a witchcraft and spell-craft lens, orange can be worked with for:Strength and vitalityAttracting opportunities and successEncouragement, confidence, and clearing the mindCareer goals, selling, and legal or justice-oriented mattersAction, ambition, and general success magicTarot, Symbolism, and the Power of OrangeOrange often shows up in tarot where movement, drive, creativity, or intense desire is at play. It marks places in the deck where you are being invited to act, to transform, or to engage with your own power in bolder ways.Page of Wands - Orange emphasizes inspiration, the urge to try something new, and the first brave steps into creative action.Four of Pentacles - Here, orange shows up as the shadow of fire—greed, clinging, and the fear of loss. The Chariot - Orange here amplifies drive, ambition, and the will to move. Five of Swords (Destruction) - In the Five of Swords, orange energy highlights destruction, sharp words, and the kind of mental or relational “fire” that can easily get out of hand. Daughter of Swords (Curious) - The Daughter of Swords asks: What makes you feel awake and mentally engaged? Orange here is the creative, experimental side of intellect.Seven of Spirals (Effort) - Orange in this card connects the “spark” of wanting change with the grounded effort required to cultivate it over time.💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle, I pulled Voices (Upright).Voices is a card of encouragement and inner knowing. It reminds you that spirit speaks in many languages - wind, plants, animals, repeating symbols, songs that get stuck in your head at exactly the right moment. The message is not "try harder"; it is "listen differently."Reflective prompts on this card:Where have I recently noticed a sign, symbol, or pattern that felt meaningful, even if I brushed it off?How can I make more space in my day to listen?What question would I like to ask Spirit, my ancestors, or the land right now?How can I stay open to the answer arriving in unexpected ways?Ways to Connect & SupportNewsletter: Get my⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 2025 5-Card Tarot Spread PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + magic straight to your inboxBe Our Guest! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out my form to Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we talk about the power of green—the color of growth, life, and living, breathing abundance. Green invites you to ground, soften, and remember that you are part of a larger, living ecosystem.Understanding Green in Color MagicIn nature, green is most present in chlorophyll—the pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize and turn sunlight into energy. It is the color of leaves, grass, new growth, and many of the environments we move through every day. Historically, green has also been connected to wealth, merchants, and bankers, which is why it still shows up in associations with money and prosperity.In the chakra system, green is tied to the heart chakra—our capacity to love, grieve, heal, and hold ourselves and others with compassion.In color magic, green can represent:The earth element and nature magicFertility, growth, and new opportunitiesHealing, balance, and courage of the heartProsperity, work, and long-term stabilityLuck and positive change in directionGreen is the color of Friday | Venus | Freyja: the day of art, love, beauty, pleasure, and creative fertility. Many witches work with green on Fridays for:Money magic and prosperity workFertility in all forms - creative, emotional, and physicalLove spells, music, and pleasure ritualsHeart-healing and reconnecting with joy in the bodyTarot, Symbolism, and the Power of GreenBecause green is so strongly tied to the earth and to the heart, it appears often in tarot cards that speak to growth, embodiment, practicality, and emotional resilience.The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D.
