Mel and Susie get interviewed for the first time! about the Fortune's Wheelhouse podcast.  Our host is Ryan Peverly of the Occulture podcast, which is - as you might guess - a show about the culture of esotericism.  It's a wildly diverse production that includes magicians, alchemists, writers, bloggers, creatives and practitioners of all stripes. Ryan's style is probing yet irreverent, and you'll see that he has a gift for asking questions that draw out thoughtful answers. If you've ever wondered about how we got started in tarot, or how Fortune's Wheelhouse began, our theories about what's going on in the oracular moment, or what it sounds like when we use esoterics in a reading, you won't want to miss this one!

Friends, we have arrived at our destination. After completing the planetary, numeric, zodiacal, and elemental series, Mel and Susie decided to record one final episode to mark the conclusion of the Fortune's Wheelhouse podcast: we decided to give the gift of divination to each other, reading about what turned out to be similar concerns for each of us. Fortune's Wheelhouse will remain available on all podcast streaming services, for anyone to refer to whenever they like. Our books and decks will still be out there. You’ll still be able to find Mel at tabulamundi.com and me at tsusanchang.com.  You’ll still be able to buy Fortune’s Wheelhouse merchandise at our RedBubble store, which is at www.redbubble.com/people/wheelhouse93/shop. And everyone is still free to join the Fortune's Wheelhouse Academy group on Facebook. Thanks to all of you, for being our heroes of the astral world. By going on this journey through esoteric tarot with us, sharing it with others, and incorporating it into your own praxis, you complete the circuit of knowledge that Fortune’s Wheelhouse represents.  As above, so below.  As within, so without.
