Ep 190Thoth Tarot

E

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 book, The History of Tarot Art: Demystifying the Art and Arcana, Deck by Deck, is available for pre-order!

Ep 188Sola Busca

E

Welcome to Wildly Tarot Summer Camp!! Per usual with our summer camp episodes, we begin by using the Celtic Cross spread to answer a question from Jenna, but per usual we went with a bit of a modified version from Theresa Reed's book, "Tarot: No Questions Asked." since we felt her version was a bit more suited to our needs. We also talk about one of our favorite decks and chapters in our book, Sola Busca Tarot! So dive right into this summer camp fest with us and let's go waaaay back and hang out with a bunch of esoteric nerds for awhile.

Ep 184Divinity and Divination

E

In this all questions episode, Esther and Holly start to talk about the summer solstice but then it quickly spirals into something totally different and just a teeny bit censored.
