Ding-dong, class is IN SESSION! In this episode, Madi takes us on a little survey on the cryptic and mysterious origins of these staples to the occult. We look at where the oldest tarot deck came from, and the MASHcore games played with them. We learn that tea leaf reading is called "tasseomancy" and we love that almost as much as the Victorians did. THEN we dive into the REALLY FREAKING FASCINATING (and ancient) origins of palm reading and leave you with a call to action to support your female palmists!

Basic Witch 101: History of Tarot, Tea Leaves, & Palmistry

Madi and her Batch of Bards give you a hot, fresh cup of history gossip. Madi, Betsy, Coco, Chris, Gabby and Taylor take turns telling each other (and YOU!) all of the fun, juicy details of history, and skip anything that isn’t spill-worthy. We research people, places, things, and events from all around the world, and even sling some of the world's finest Folktales your way every third episode. At the end of each episode, catch a FreshCup with Betsy, where we take to the internet for just a quick little sip of contemporary tea before the blooper reel plays. Just some good 'ol historical story telling; that's the tea at Spill the Mead.
