What if tarot isn't just a deck of cards, but an entire language for communicating with higher consciousness? In this episode, we sit down with Kelly O'Hearn who discovered tarot during a personal crisis and spent three years in secret learning to speak its language—not through books, but through direct dialogue with guides and her higher self.

Kelly shares her conviction that tarot is fundamentally a communication system, one that allowed her to receive messages about her past lives, who she is now and what life dynamics are currently playing out in her present world. Using what she has learned and who she has been before coming into this life, these channeled insights became the foundation for her novel Arcanum series. With two books published (In the Temple Shadows and Whispers in the Forest) and a third in progress, Kelly discusses how learning tarot's language opened creative and spiritual pathways she never anticipated.

For anyone curious about tarot as a communication tool, the intersection of channeled wisdom and creative writing, or how spiritual practice can transform into art, this conversation offers a unique perspective on speaking the language of the cards.

KELLY O'HEARN

When Kelly O'Hearn first stepped off the train in the city of Florence, Italy, as a 20-year-old, she had the overwhelming instinct that she had been there before. In a place famous for its maze of medieval streets, O'Hearn navigated the city as if she had lived there for a lifetime.

Born in New York City, O'Hearn first put her intuitive skills to work as a professional wine taster, instructor, and sommelier in the elite institutions of New York, Portugal, and Aspen. After raising her two children and enduring a personal health crisis, in 2012, she was drawn to begin reading the tarot cards, an ancient practice which does not presume to "predict the future" but offers a collection of stories, perspectives, and self-reflections that can guide one to become one's most authentic self.

While most people were baking sourdough or riding their Pelotons during the Covid pandemic, O'Hearn used the tarot cards to channel her own past lives. Weeks of readings, all captured on video, yielded six storylines of herself as several powerful women over the millennia and around the globe: the same one soul, over time, persevering against all odds in the quest for happiness and the love of a soul mate. This time-bending saga inspired O'Hearn to conceive of a series of novels titled Arcanum.

O'Hearn is in high demand for her readings, with clients on every continent but Antartica.
