Happy Spring and welcome to Season 5: Tarot Minors & The Zodiac!

Although we parted from the airwaves last December, having completed The Fool’s Journey through the majors, inspiration struck- we’re back to cover the minor arcana and their astrological associations. First up is the sign of Aries, cardinal fire element which corresponds to Wands cards 2-4 and the Queen. We hope you’ll bear with us as the first half of the episode involves much reflecting and reacclimating after our long winter’s absence.

I Am The World/Dancer

This final episode is dedicated to Madeline Jazz who (like in the Cosmic Dancer song) “danced herself right out the womb”...

Happy Birthday (December 10th) 🖤

It’s the end of the line for our Fool in this bittersweet finale... Hosts Sarah and Eliza look back on the Tarot archetypes they’ve come to know more intimately, and reflect on all the ways they’ve grown as individuals and as co-creators through their Journey together...

’The World represents wholeness and completion. At the culmination of a long journey, everything has come together in a meaningful and fulfilling way. Each element is in balance with its opposite, and synchronicities have all lined up. You have found your place within the world, and have gained a deeper understanding of its influences on you, as well as your effects on it. The result is a sense of belonging and purpose.’ - Jessica Lei Howard, Forager’s Daughter Tarot

‘If we are living fully, we will touch and change the world, and it will do the same for us, constantly, in tiny ways, and sometimes in profound and enormous ways. Every time we put ourselves out into the world wholeheartedly we become more. We are more alive and grow less afraid to raise our voices in the great song.’ - Julia Jeffrey, Witch Sister Tarot

I Am Taurus

Happy Taurus Season & Earth Day (every day) as we welcome the most grounded, embodied, and sensual of the earth signs to grow our pentacles suit discussion. Taurus is fixed Earth, ruled by Venus, and corresponds to Pentacles cards 5-7 and the King. We are so excited to have Evvin Marin’s new book release as a regularly featured resource from which to share. Check out their Fortune’s Inkwell: An Interrobang Tarot Guidebook in the show notes. Remember, too, you can catch their conversation with Eliza from Season 4: Episode 16 which aired on May 11, 2023.
