Welcome to the Blooming Wand podcast! I'm Emily O'Neal, evidential psychic medium, intuitive healer, and coach. Here on this podcast, I guide you on a journey of self-reflection using the wisdom of the tarot.
As a way to honor the flux and flow of life, on each full and new moon, I pull three cards which inspire an intention and affirmation to illuminate your path. Think of them as themes to guide you as we move through the coming days.
Grab your journals, light a candle, and settle into the present moment. Let's delve into the enchanting archetypes of the tarot, uncovering the magic and messages they hold for all of us.
Plus, I'll occasionally be joined by special guests who share their unique perspectives on spirituality, self-care, personal discovery, and navigating the complexities and wonders that life brings.

Blooming Wand
01/23/24 • 13 min
The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Wild Unknown Tarot, and we pulled the Four of Wands, the Daughter of Wands (aka Page of Wands), and The Hermit. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.
- Intention: Time spent in quiet reflection allows for internal processing and integrating experiences. It creates sacred space where we can identify what’s working for us and what needs adjusting. That knowledge can then transform and inform our perspective moving forward.
- Affirmation: I prioritize quiet reflection so I can commune with my inner flame.
- A theme that immediately comes to mind when I look at these archetypes is the concept of the inner flame. This is a topic I love, and I’ll loop back to it shortly, but for now, let’s explore the cards one by one.

December 12th New Moon Intention and Affirmation
Blooming Wand
12/08/23 • 28 min
The new moon is here so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Vintage Wisdom Oracle deck and the Smith/Waite tarot, and we pulled the King of Wands, Intention, and the Knight of Swords. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.
Intention: Depending on what’s going on in our lives, taking mindful action can be tough. In times of crisis, stress, or challenge we may feel the need to take immediate, and well-intended, action. While there are certainly moments where swift responses are needed, I’ve found that taking a moment to reflect is wise.
- A tool that’s been helpful for me is working with intention. I’m always refining my intentions but mostly they are to be kind, honest, authentic, loving, honor nature and the earth, etc. When I’m finding mindful action difficult, I stop and look to my intentions. Is my desired action in alignment?
- With that said, you know what? Every time I think about intentions, those quotes about how good intentions pave the way to hell always come to mind. I did a quick internet search and sure enough, there are quite a few quotes from well-known writers talking about the dangers of good intentions.
Affirmation: I hone my intentions often to ensure they are aligned with core values and minimize harm to self and others.

Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.
Intention: When was the last time you thought about what was truly important to you? The practice of zeroing in on essentials enhances our awareness and shows us where we can lean in or let go. It involves peeling back layers to uncover the values, relationships, and aspirations that truly resonate with our core being.
Affirmation: My intuition guides my understanding of what is essential and aligned with my deepest values and aspirations.

- Intention: Sometimes life is overwhelming. With so much going on in the world today I feel like many of us are experiencing some level of exhaustion, upset, and fear. Pair that with personal challenges and you have a perfect recipe for feeling like everything is falling apart.

October 28th Full Moon Intention & Affirmation
Blooming Wand
10/23/23 • 11 min
The full moon is here so I have new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Vintage Wisdom Oracle deck and the Star Seeker tarot, and we pulled Nature, The Emperor, and The Ace of Cups. Be sure to look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.
- Intention: Incorporating nature into self-care practices is beneficial for many reasons. More and more these benefits are being backed by not only anecdotal evidence, but science as well. This moon cycle let’s explore how nature nurtures us. Perhaps in doing so we can rekindle a desire to nurture nature in return.
- Affirmation: Nature nurtures me, and I nurture nature in return.
Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels. The sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world prompts a relaxation response in the brain, leading to decreased cortisol levels and a sense of calm. But it doesn’t stop there.

Intention: Fear and hardship are two things we’ve all faced. Take a moment to reflect on times you’ve encountered each. How did you respond? What worked well? What didn’t? What would it look like to address fear, challenge, and hardship with confidence?
Affirmation: All is well, all will be well.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that challenges and failures (perceived or otherwise) are opportunities to learn and grow. I can see that much of my personal development is the result of encountering opposition and struggle. None the less, I often find embracing change difficult. Here are a few things I’ve found helpful.

Feeling like an imposter in your own success story? You're not alone. Join me, Emily O'Neal, as I unravel the mysteries of self-growth using the wisdom of tarot.
With the guidance of The Wheel, the Seven of Pentacles, and the Six of Wands, we explore the cycles of change, the virtues of patience and perseverance, and the sweet taste of personal triumph. These cards offer not just reflection, but a roadmap to recognizing and celebrating our milestones, no matter the size. Through intention-setting and affirmations, we'll harness the power of these insights to boost your confidence and motivation, all while confronting the sneaky specter of imposter syndrome.
Together, let's face the challenges of low self-esteem and the societal pressures that often lead us to undervalue our achievements. I'll share personal stories of battling feelings of inadequacy and the journey toward embracing our worth. As we wrap up, we'll turn to a heartfelt unity prayer, fostering community and shared purpose during these troubled times. Our collective spirit of stewardship, love, and empathy can illuminate our paths and provide comfort for those in need. Embrace the guiding light of hope and love, and let's honor the bonds that connect us all. Tune in and embark on this reflective journey with me.
