The deck of the Week is the Guardians of the NIght Tarot by MJ Cullinane.

Apologies for the late release of this episode, there was a death in Esther's family so we are grateful for your patience. In this episode we mention the 100 Day Dress challenge Esther is doing along with the no-clothing-buy Esther and Holly are doing together!  The first question of the episode asks about when would be a good time to become a dog parent. (When this happens, we absolutely demand dog tax pictures!) Our section of question, is a longer one about the multiple decisions our querent has available to them during their Chariot year where they have many paths open to them but they're unsure which direction to go in. 

Our deck of the episode is the long awaited Motherpeace Tarot, the last deck that we have a chapter dedicated to in our book! We go over why this deck is so important to the legacy of tarot but also where we have apprehensions about personally using this deck in our own practice.

We did our annoucements at the front end of the episode since we have so many friends whose projects we wanted to hype! Our questions for the episode involve our first querent wanting to know how they can engage with their writing and our second querent asks about the best living situation for them and their wonderful cat, Cheese.

In this special Creators Corner episode of Wildly Tarot Podcast, I sit down with Beck, owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe in Hanover, Pennsylvania, to talk about their recent lawsuit filed against the local sheriff  and how Beck's business was targeted under an outdated 1861 law that prohibits fortune telling for profit. We dive into the details of the sheriff's behavior, how this law (potentially) impacts tarot readers in the area, and the constitutional challenge Beck's lawsuit raises, arguing for free speech and religious rights. This is a conversation where law nerds and tarot lovers will find common ground, and it’s not one to miss!  Beck also shares their personal journey of opening the shop, navigating small-town politics, and the unexpected challenges they faced and what it means for them to continue to fundraise and build a sanctuary in Hanover. You can find their Go Fund Me and lend your support them here! Also sign the Change.Org peition to overturn the much outdated law that the sheriff cited in their conversation with Beck! (International Signatures Welcome!!)  Follow Beck on Instagram (The Serpent's Key Shoppe as well!) to keep up with their court case, their cool ass shoppe, and for updates as they move forward with The Sanctuary.  Follow Ettie on Instagram and buy a personal reading from them in the Wildly Tarot Shop, and for bonus content support the podcast on Patreon!

In this episode of Wildly Tarot Podcast, Ettie teams up with the amazing Meg (@3am.tarot) to share a candid and heartfelt chat about growing up amidst Christian fundamentalism and their shared trauma of being raised in that culture. Together, they unpack how those experiences shaped their paths to self discovery and their relationship with tarot. Especially with the Devil card.

The listener question this week comes from Greg, who is looking for guidance on reconnecting with their distant partner. Meg's talen in creating spreads on the fly is unmatched as they build a reading to help support Greg as he works on communicating with his partner.

The deck of the week is the Starlore Arcana by Nitasia Roland with the mass market edition published by Weiser Books . This is a cartomacy-oracle deck with antique celestial vibes based on constellation illustrations from the early 1700s. (Ettie and Meg compare Indie and Mass Market editions of the deck.)

In this episode we go straight into banter, so good luck if you're a new listener and have no idea who we are and what our podcast is about. (haha) Our questions of the episode involve a listener who wants guidance for avoiding Autistic Burnout and our first question in a year asking for romance advice!  Our deck of the episode isn't a normal review you would expect from us, but more of an introduction/celebration of Seaborn Kipper by Siolo Thompson and Thomas Witholt (Hermitsmirror).

This episode has so much joy, so prepare yourself for laughter! Our first question asks about moving through grief through the loss of a spouse. Some resources that Holly mentioned are "The Hot Young Widow's Club" and  Nora McInerny's Ted Talk. Our second question asks about how our listener can prepare for physically moving to a new country and adjusting to life there. Our third question asks what we mean when we say that a deck is "WooWoo" vs saying that a deck is "Esoteric.  Our deck of the episode is Ragnarok: Twilight Tarot from Montrio Studio. This 80 card deck has really cool Green UV Ink embedded into the cards that corresponds to the card elements.

(Apologies for Esther's mic issues, all of the mics were actively dying during recording and we didn't realize until later what had happened.) 

Our Handy-Dandy-Form didn't have any question submissions for this episode, so Holly sat Esther down to do a reading for her trip to Thailand and how meaningful it's going to be.

Then to build on that Esther has had writer's block surrounding a mantra for her tattoo that she'll be getting on the trip so we talk through things and use the fab Compendium of Constellations to build one!

In this episode Esther and Holly begin the episode by admitting to past oversights and committing to supporting the Black community long term by being more intentional about supporting Black tarot and oracle deck creators in the future. As well as vocally and monetarily supporting organizations on a monthly basis. The querents for this episode ask questions about how to stop the cycle of choosing emotionally unavailable men and entertaining a job offer and what it would look like if they chased after that opportunity.  Our deck for the episode has been replaced by a brainstorming session about our deck parameters and how we as a podcast can be more inclusive of things our listeners want to hear about the decks we review. If you have any ideas or opinions about our parameters, please email us at wildlytarotpodcast@gmail.com

Welcome to Wildly Tarot Summer Camp!!

Well it's finally here, the much anticipated episode where we review Thoth tarot. However, we start this episode like every other summer camp episode by doing a longer reading. As a surprise to probably no one we decided to forego the Celtic Cross spread for the week and use the Spread Machines Oracle deck by Fablesden which ended up being the best idea ever!! 

Then we dive into Thoth Tarot by Lady Freida Harris and Aleister Crowley! It's been a deck we've avoided reviewing because of the legacy of Crowley being a garbage person, (We mentioned Last Podcast on the Left's episodes about Crowely and you can find them here: Episode 1 Episode 2 ) but as we wrote the chapter for our book, "The History of Tarot Art" we discovered the story of the artist, Lady Freida, and fell in love with Thoth. So join us for some Crowley ranting and fangirling over Lady Freida.

Our opening banter is still us continuing to enjoy the "Idiots to lovers" trope in Romance, referencing a book (or two) that have hit that sweet spot recently. Our first question of the episode is more of an update from a listener!! (We love those!) Our second question is from Stephen Hanrahan asking the cards if starting an OnlyFans (or something similar) is a good direction to go towards since Instagram isn't the best platform for artists. 

We're back with our first deck review of our Fall series talking about a Hoi Polloi clone called Moon Baby Tarot!  Yes, we know it's a short episode. Yes, we know next time to do 3 questions when we do an RWS adjacent clone.

If you haven't already ordered a copy of our book, you can do so now at your fave book retailer and also remember it makes a great Christmas gift so add it to your wishlist! Our first question of the episode asks what to do when a deck you really love is really difficult to read as a beginner. The second asks about a thruple of cards that keep following our querent around and we dig a little deeper using tarot to get to the bottom of what they mean.  The deck of the episode is Starchild Tarot (Akashic Edition)! We swear we've reviewed Danielle Noel's Tarot book in the past (because we both love it) but of course we cannot find any trace of the episode where we gushed about it. Finally though, here is an episode dedicated to reviewing one of their decks and we couldn't be any more excited!

In this episode, Esther and Holly dress for the episode by wearing giant floral dressing gowns to celebrate Golden Girls tarot! Our first querent for the episode asks about temporarily moving back in with their parents who won't allow tarot, crystals, or anything remotely occult-ish into their home. Our second question is giving advice to get more clarity from a reading about getting through an emotionally difficult time.  Our deck for the episode is the exciting, vibrant, and brilliant Golden Girls Tarot!

For this episode of Creator's Corner I had a personally transformative conversation with Lane Smith, author of "78 Acts of Liberation: Tarot to Transform Our World" . This book by Lane was unexpectedly impactful as I read it and then even moreso in sitting down with Lane and gaining deeper understanding directly from them about things. Especially in how to take my own practice from the singular 'fool's journey' to a more community aligned 'tarot sphere' where we're interacting fluidly with the cards at any given moment. This conversation is one I've been returning to over and over the past few days and chewing on things discussed in the book and with Lane. It's stayed with me in good ways that have influenced me to change and shift things in my own personal practice and perspective. You can follow Lane on Instagram or find more resources from them on their website. You can pre-order their book here!

Happy Pride Month, everyone! For the first time in awhile we're doing 2 questions and a deck review!! The first question from our listener asks about how they can help their daughter pursue hobbies that would fit her personality and style of interacting with the world around her. CONTENT WARNING: Our second question is a bit spicy from a listener asking for sex and relationship advice with a little clarity from a spread she previously did about the sexual frustration between she and her partner. 

Our deck for the episode is The Guided Hand Tarot by Irene Mudd which is a deck that appears in the Ephemera section of our book but we have never reviewed on the show!
