Oracle Soup Podcast

Originally podcast on November 22, 2013...Gina and Katrina both taught at TarotCon-USA in Dallas last month (October 2013) and had the opportunity to include James Wells in a warm and empowering conversation about Tarot circles. Lots of wisdom sitting around this table. We cover circles as a symbol and as a way of being creative together.

As promised, here is the recipe James offers to our Oracle Soup listeners…enjoy!

Curried Red Lentil Soup:

* Sauté 2 chopped onions, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 chopped celery stocks in some heated olive oil.

* Stir in a tablespoon (or more) of curry powder (I also like to add a touch of my own garam masala mix to it from time to time). Let cook until spices become fragrant.

* Add 2 cups of red lentils. Stir to coat them.

* Add 8 cups of water or stock. Bring to the boil.

* Reduce the heat, put the lid on, and simmer for an hour to 90 minutes.

* Add salt and pepper to taste and the juice of half a lemon.

What is an archetype?

1. A prototype.

2. Platonic philosophical idea, pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing.

3. Jungian term, collectively inherited unconscious idea or image, usually present in individual psyches.

4. Constantly recurring symbol or motif, such as in art or mythology.

How can we utilize these ideas with our readings? The Oracle Soup Sisters begin a conversation on this expansive topic.

What is divination and how does it differ from prophecy? What is an oracle? Now what is psychic or intuitive?

These basic distinctions are explored in depth by the Oracle Soup kitchen sisters, Gina & Katrina.

Pull up a chair for a heaping helping of this chewy topic!

Where is the boundary between friend, family, co-worker or client when it comes to being a reader? Can you say “no” to friendly requests for free readings when you are a professional?

Gina and Katrina don’t tip toe around the kitchen when it comes to sharing their experience and advice on these sticky topics.
