Tarot Visions

Happy Holidays Tarot Readers!  For this episode of Tarot Visions, we are joined by new Tarot author Angelo Nasios to talk about his forthcoming book Tarot - Unlocking the Arcana. Angelo discusses his process for creating this epic volume of Tarot knowledge and what he hopes his readers will learn from it.

For more from Angelo, check out his YouTube page. You can also pre-order Tarot - Unlocking the Arcana from Amazon, or Schiffer.

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!  Did you miss us?  In this quick episode we continue our court card series and look at the Queens - especially those of the Rider Waite Smith deck.

Step into the parlor and join us for some fun with the Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards, the Lenormand's spooky American cousin.  We explore the history of the deck, discuss a few of the controversies surrounding it and try it out for a reading.  

*Disclaimer* We recognize that the word gypsy is considered in the modern day to be racist and we discuss this in the episode - but we apologize to anyone who is offended by its use.

Oh, dear.  Rose Red and Charlie are just about at wits end in their adventures with the Tarotnomicon.  While it's all fun and games to summon Tarot celebrities from the dead, they may have gotten themselves into more trouble than they can handle.  Perhaps the "Wickedest Man in the World" Aleister Crowley can help them out... if he's in the mood.

Special thanks to Nathan Wetzel for this one!

Rose Red and Charlie just cannot seem to leave well enough alone, can they?  Despite the fact that their sanity seems to be ready to give way, they once again make use of the dread Tarotnomicon to summon the ghost of a departed figure from Tarot's past.  This time they have chosen to speak with Pamela Colman Smith (Pixie to her friends... and therefore not Rose and Charlie).  Will she reveal the information they are seeking?  Will Rose and Charlie learn not to mess with dark forces they can't comprehend?  Probably a no on both accounts.

Many thanks to the lovely Thena MacArthur for her help with this one!

In what is probably an ill-advised move, Rose Red and Charlie have decided to once again use the Tarotnomicon to summon forth the spirit of a Tarot luminary.  This time their chosen departed diviner is Arthur Edward Waite, creator of the famed Rider Waite Tarot Deck. What will this long-dead master of magic be able to tell them about his deck and the Tarot in general?  It remains to be seen.

Special Thanks to Rydell Downward for this episode.

Egad! Rose Red and Charlie have happened upon a copy of the Tarotnomicon, a legendary spellbook of untold dark powers, and without a second thought have chosen to use it to conjure forth the spirit of a long-dead Tarot luminary.

For their first foray into the necromantic arts, they have summoned Bianca Maria Visconti, for whom the first known Tarot deck was a wedding present. What will they learn? What secrets has she kept hidden within her grave?  Will they survive the experience with their minds intact? Will you!?!

Major thanks to our friend Anastasia Haysler for this one.

For this week's quick little episode Rose and Charlie take a deep dive on reading cloths.  What make for a great reading cloth and what is going to leave you feeling... frayed.  Sorry... had to.

Rose and Charlie continue their miniseries on the court cards with a look at the Tarot knights.

This week, we have the distinct pleasure of speaking with the lovely Alana Fairchild.  Alana is the creator of several fabulous oracle decks including the Kuan Yin Oracle, the Isis Oracle, the Mother Mary Oracle, and more.  We discuss how her decks actually function as self-contained spiritual systems complete with divinatory advice, affirmations, and even rituals as well as how to create the oracle deck that you have been dreaming of.  

Special Bonus: Alana was kind enough to allow us to play the first guided meditation from Isis: Power of the Priestess Healing Meditations which we believe you will find transformational.  We sure did!
