Got thoughts? Let us know!

This week's episode is all about Tarot and Oracle decks. Shéa and Amy delve into the difference between the two before interviewing Cartomancer Extraordinaire Delle!

So grab a cocktail (might we recommend an Empress Gin French 75 or a Bergamot Old Fashioned?) and settle in!


Y'all - the references here are bananas. We talked about so many books and card decks and other things - hopefully, we didn't miss anything.
