The Yarn Tarot is an inclusive tarot deck, both in its illustrations and interpretations. So this week, we’ve gathered together the illustrator and editor of this fiber industry favorite deck for a dual interview about this project!

We dive into how each suit was chosen to be interpreted, how Katie and Jacob were paired together for this project, and of course the magical and making backgrounds of both guests!

Katie Ponder (Illustrator) and Jacob Seifert (Editor) are two folks behind the Yarn Tarot! Katie’s style is both fresh and contemporary with references to art deco with a touch of Gothic inspiration. Jacob, along with working at Sixth & Spring Books, is a knitter, book and horror enthusiast, and game designer at @sledgehoggames.

Do you have this deck? Are you intrigued to learn more? We’d love to hear your feedback via email: [email protected] or visit www.knitaspell.com to use our contact form.

We talked about Boundaries & Spiritual Hygiene WAAAAY back in Episode 10. Today, we're doing a featured focus on one of these powerful tools: cleansing washes and spiritual waters!

For those of you who we're 'woo' people, these are similar to modern cleaners but are made with specific ingredients and intent! We chat about why making your own washes are super powerful, how to use them in every day life for support and also as part of the blocking and finishing process in your making.

Do you know of another type of spiritual water that we didn't cover? Drop us an email at [email protected] or via the contact form on our website: www.knitaspell.com

When Jim & Katie need an expert on crystals, rock or gems, they turn to the Mineral Master himself: Nicholas Pearson of The Luminous Pearl! Nicholas has published 7 books, including Crystal Basics, and was enlightening in this week's episode regarding crystals of protection.

Have you ever wondered if changing the shape of a crystal/gem also changes the energetic qualities? How about why modern day protection stones tend to be black in color? Or, why stones or gems would be used for protective qualities in the first place? And what the heck is labradorescence? You're in luck! All these answers and more are answered in this week's super stimulating episode!

Circle casting is a BIG topic in the magical world. But did you know it can also be embraced within your making? Katie talks about the parallels between circle casting and casting on, plus working with Double Pointed Needles as representations of the elements, and more! Jim dives into details of how circle casting within his tradition is done what many might consider 'backwards'.

Divination can help us gain insight into any question and into ourselves! Pulling tarot cards, throwing runes or bones, scrying, reading tea leaves, palms and just a few of the seemingly endless methods of divination. Even poo, YES POO! Best of all, you don't have to be 'psychic' or 'magical' to use them successfully.

Along with a background on the topic, Jim and Katie also share their strongest and weakest divination methods, along with tools they've made themselves.

Have you made your own divination method or tool? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us an email at [email protected] or visit knitaspell.com to contact us. Feel free to include a video or audio file of your message - we may air it on a future episode!
