Episode 51: Tarot, Tradition, and the Witch's Path with Christopher Penczak
04/23/25 • 66 min
In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by the brilliant and prolific Christopher Penczak—author, teacher, Witch, and co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft tradition. Christopher has written many excellent books on modern Witchcraft, magickal practice, spirit work, and personal transformation. His work has been foundational for many practitioners over the years, and it was wonderful to sit down with him for this conversation.
In our discussion, we explored a wide range of topics, including his background with tarot, his insights into developing skills as a reader and practitioner, and of course his experience as a respected teacher and leader within the wider Pagan world.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of his work or just discovering it, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
