This episode ventures further into my life with magic and explores the 2's in the Minor Arcana. 

Welcome everyone to The Aquarean Podcast. If you’re new here, I’m Vanessa, a psychic, Tarot reader, astrology and occult enthusiast, and you're host as we explore everything mystical and magical. This first series of The Aquarean focuses on Tarot, its history, and practice. Later in the series, we'll interview tarot authors and Tarot deck creators, but for now, we're still learning how to read the cards. This episode ventures further into my life with magic and explores the 2's in the Minor Arcana.

This episode is a little different. Along with the definitions for the Aces, I'll also be going into my life as a psychic and how my relationship with magic began. Feel free to use the time stamps to skip ahead for the definitions, but if you feel called to listen to my story, I hope it empowers you to love yourself just as you are.

Continuing our journey through Tarot, this week's episode looks into the element that provides the energy to each suit (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth) and different ways to decipher the numbers. I've found that only memorizing the cards weakens your intuitive muscle, so practicing patterns first gives our intuition the strength it needs to communicate alongside the varied definitions.

Welcome to the second episode of The Aquarean podcast. The last episode explored the history of Tarot, where it came from, and how we use it today. Now, we begin to learn how Tarot works. When inspired to read Tarot, most of us jump straight into memorizing the definitions (myself included), but that generally causes more confusion. We could find ourselves quitting after just a couple of months. If we approach Tarot as a multi-layered system, it makes the process of learning easier. First, we need to establish Tarot's inherent patterns. In this episode, we'll learn these basic foundational cues that our intuition needs to build the language for Tarot.

Welcome everyone to the very first episode of The Aquarean Podcast, Season 1, "The History of Tarot". Tarot, seems to be shrouded in mystery, but in fact it has a well documented and fascinating past. In this episode, I'll answer commonly asked questions such as, "How old is Tarot and where did the cards originate?", "When was it introduced to main stream society?" and "Is there truly magic in the cards?" Listen to find out.

Hello everyone and welcome to The Aquarean Podcast. I'm Vanessa, a psychic, tarot reader, astrology and occult enthusiast, and your host as we travel through everything mystical and magical. I created this podcast to weave the many stories and experiences around our most popular mysteries, from their place of origin to their modern expression. It's obvious to me that humans need their natural connection to magic now more than ever and I'm excited to offer what I've learned along with fascinating and eye-opening interviews from experts and practitioners from all over the world. I hope to foster a deep understanding of where we come from and how we can express our own intrinsic and ancestral magic today.

These esoteric topics are so vast and their practices so personal it would be impossible and utterly confusing to address every mystery without some organization. Therefore, I've decided to create multiple series that focuses on a different topic moving backward in time so that we fully explore and digest each of them one by one. Our first topic will be the tarot, a fairly new, but widely adored practice of divination and soul searching. In the first episode, I will convey the history of the tarot, how it came to be and how we use it today, followed by episodes that teach you how to read the cards (so if you have a tarot deck that you haven't used since you bought it, get ready to pull it out). Once we've covered the tarot in practice, we'll move on to exciting interviews with tarot readers and tarot deck creators. I've personally studied the tarot for over 20 years and have been a professional tarot reader for about 6 years, so this topic is very close to my heart. Near the end of each series, I will announce the next topic so we can collectively prepare for each magical road ahead.

This podcast will be available every Wednesday at 7:00amm EST beginning November 2, 2022. Please be aware, The Aquarean is not on ANY social media platform, no Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube, so if you enjoy this podcast, please subscribe and share the magic.

I'm so excited to share this important and fascinating journey with all of you as we weave together the story of magic. As above, so below, blessed be.
