In this week’s episode, Rose Red and Jaymi chat with Shelley Carter who curated the fabulous The Tarot Lovers: Works of Heart art exhibit which opened this past weekend in Ontario. This wonderful art installation features works from both the tarot tribe and artists around the world. Shelley shares stories of the art (as well as some images, which you can find on the Facebook page) and describes the process of going from creating the Elora Tarot to curating an art exhibit.

Rose Red and Jaymi talk pop culture and dark arts with Emily Carlin this week. Emily shares her 13-tile, "bone" tossing, pop culture divination technique as well as describing her background on delving into the darker side of magic. Look for her Defense Against the Dark book on amazon.com and read more about her pop culture experiments at her blog, Exoteric Magic. You can find Emily at the occasional festival, or in and around Seattle. Connect with Emily by emailing her at [email protected].

Love is in the air, have you had your inoculation yet? This week Rose Red and Jaymi chat about one of tarot’s top draws: romance! Listen in as they discuss their favorite spreads, suggest ways to get the best out of your romantic and couple readings this season, and discuss some ancillary topics around relationship questions and what clients bring to the table.

Blue moons occur every 2.5 years! They’re full moons occurring twice in the same month. Luckily for us, January 2018 has its own blue moon. Join Rose Red and Jaymi as they discuss their thoughts about the full moon and what readings or rituals they’ll do during this special time. Some of our fabulous tarot and astrology peeps who share their wisdom on these events include Ethony Dawn and Theresa Reed. Are you doing something? Let us know in the comments or on our Facebook page.

Rose Red and Jaymi discuss dealing with dishonest querents. We’re talking about skeptics, people that are dishonest about what they want, and folks that look for their own meanings in a reading. Shout out to Andrew McGregor for suggesting this topic. Reach out and join the discussion on our Facebook page or our Twitter feeds @RoseRedTarot or @jaymi_elford.

Rose Red and Jaymi chat with the purveyor of creative decks, Maree Bento. Maree is the creator of the Antiquarian Lenormand and Tarot decks and a wonderful reader. She stops by to chat about her creativity, inspiration and informs us about her upcoming project, the Divine Muses Oracle. In this episode, we mention a few decks including Pixie’s Astounding Lenormand, Pam’s Vintage Tarot, and the Esslin decks.

Our favorite jet-setting tarotista, Mary K Greer,  takes some time out of her busy schedule to chat with Rose Red and Jaymi. Mary’s a very busy instructor in 2018. She’ll be teaching at PantheaCon, and at the now sold out Readers Studio in New York. She’ll be traveling back to China to teach at least twice more. And she’s running a wonderful tour of Britain and Scotland with her “Tarot Magic in Merlin’s Britain and Scotland” program. (Sign up by the end of November 2017 to secure your spot!) Mary also gives us many tales about Pamela Coleman Smith, as she is in the process of writing a book with US Games, Inc. about the artist extraordinaire herself. This book is due out in 2018, as well. The girls have decided that Mary is welcome to tell more tales at any time!

Rose Red and Jaymi catch up with the Metaphysical Men: Fred West and John Hijatt. This dynamic duo runs the Divination Suite every year at PantheaCon in San Jose, where attendees hang out and chat about all things divination. The guys are also very active in the divination scene; John is working on self-publishing a 35-card Christmas Oracle deck (due out this winter season). He also records the Heathen-based podcast, Gifts of the Wyrd, and teaches rune/oracle classes at their local metaphysical shop. While Fred organizes the San Diego Cartomancer Collective, which connects readers to one another. Accessible to all levels, share spreads, techniques, and learn from one another.
