The Smart Witch Podcast

In this episode, we talk about the six of pentacles of the tarot as the card that teaches us how to infuse our relationships and connections with integrity and intention. We unpack the pentacles of the tarot as more than money, and then discuss how the Six of Pentacles is uniquely transactional and capable of teaching us how to create systems, boundaries, routines and language with which to keep our relationship dynamics clean and fulfilling.

In this episode, we dive into the art of crafting and manufacturing questions for the tarot that set us up for responses which are empowering, rewarding, clear and actively helpful. I share a few of my favorite ones, teach you how to create your own, explore common mistakes beginners make when trying to intiate dialogue with the tarot that leave them either confused or disempowered, and we discuss why formulating empowered, specific, thoughtful and self-aware questions is actually the secret to cultivating a personalized and satisfying tarot practice.

In this episode, I give my thoughts on a wonderful question I received from a listener who wanted to know how to realistically go about cultivating a personalized, eclectic practice in the absence of any specific elder, mentor, teacher or influencer. I tackle some big points in this episode including my controversial thoughts on hereditary witchcraft and working in a coven, why I think it’s actually a blessing not to have a mentor or any living relatives who practice, how the word “witch” itself is not necessarily one size fits all and most importantly, how to maintain a sense of connection to other witches while still honoring and creating a unique and individual practice that is ever-changing.
