Lex Ritchie (they/them) is the tarot reader and folk magician behind Day’s Eye Tarot. A chronically-ill, neurodivergent, queer mystic, they approach tarot as a radical practice rooted in the hidden-in-plain-sight tradition of cartomancy of the working-class and backcountry kitchens of their ancestors, a skill gained through connection, practice, and cunning. They use tarot as a folk art to help you discover and nurture the root of your own authority to think, act, and create in and for your own life so that you can take the kind of intentional action you need to achieve your dreams.  

In this episode, Lex and Eryn talk about:
