EP38 Psychology, self-care and tarot with Andy Matzner

Mystic and mind focused. 

Andy and I talk about the apparent divide between psychology and tarot reading. Perhaps it is mostly an illusion. We talk a lot about self-care and what it is like to help people for a living.

EP37 Science, intuition and tarot with Mary Greer Pt. 2

This is part two of my interview with Mary Greer. Part one can be found here.

One of the greatest things about Mary Greer is that she is always looking to learn more. Whether it is from other readers or other styles of divination she is always looking to grow and expand her practice. This also means she is always exploring what is at he cutting edge of reading. Mary and I spent almost two hours talking about science, guiding people through readings, intuition versus psychicism, and so much more.

You can find Mary online at her website and on Facebook.

EP35 How do we fix the world?

One question. How doe we fix the world? We have to start by working on ourselves. Bruce and I talk about the process of freeing ourselves from the internalized crap that we might have picked up just by being alive. We discuss how to work on ourselves and get clear of our scripts and about the role we might might play in the world to help it move forward.

EP34 Validity, lineage, and authenticity with Fabeku Fatunmise

Who knows the truth?

Fabeku and I try to tackle the perennial problem of finding validity. The search for the origins of tarot often falls prey to wondrous fabrications trying to justify its validity. On a personal level it is easy to fall into the same trap. Who or what can we trust to tell us we are on the right track. Can we, with confidence, trust others to tell us we are on the right track at all?

Heads up – there are a few swear words in this one.

EP33 Soul Searching? Try Google with Luca Shivendra Om

Romanticism, Google, and Storytelling

Luca and I have a wonderful talk about meaning, technology and the internet and falling in love with tarot. We discuss how storytelling relates to card reading and in some ways this episode is more of a story than most. It is longer and more slowly paced tan my average instalment. My advice is make a cup of tea and find some time to sit back. It is well worth the time.

You can find Luca online here.
