Guest Host: Meaghan

In this episode, Clo explores the powerful tension — and partnership — between the Magician and the High Priestess. One is the tarot’s master of tools, action, and manifestation. The other is the keeper of intuition, inner knowing, and the space between. Together, they show us how to move through life with both clarity and trust.

Joining Clo is special guest Meaghan, a Somatic Sexologist and Intimacy Coach who helps women reconnect with the pleasure, power, and wisdom of their bodies. Her work blends psychology, the Somatica® Method, sensual embodiment, and womb alchemy. She’s the perfect guide to explore how we balance doing with listening, action with intuition, and effort with surrender.

• What the Magician teaches about tools, action, and creating momentum
• What the High Priestess reveals about intuitive wisdom, silence, and inner truth
• How these archetypes work as partners rather than opposites
• The tension between “doing” (study, technique) and “knowing” (intuition) in tarot
• How these energies show up in real life: relationships, career, creativity, and personal growth
• Meaghan’s grounded insight on recognizing when it’s time to act vs. when it’s time to listen

Note: The full, extended version of this episode — including deeper teaching, journaling prompts, and bonus discussion — is available exclusively to Patreon subscribers.

Every journey has a heartbeat between the leap and the landing — the moment after we say yes but before anything makes sense.

In this short episode, Clo explores the sacred space between The Fool and The Magician — the pause where instinct turns into intention.

If you’ve been in that strange limbo between starting and seeing results, this is your reminder that the silence isn’t failure — it’s integration.

You’ll learn how to:
🜂 Honor the pause after your leap
🜃 Take one small grounded action to activate momentum
🜁 Read a simple 3-card spread to find your next step

1️⃣ What energy am I still carrying from the leap?
2️⃣ What first action wants to happen next?
3️⃣ What supports me as I build momentum?

Pull these cards quickly — no overthinking.
Let the story tell itself.

SHOW NOTES — Bonus Episode: The Fool’s Journey (Backstory)

Welcome to a special bonus drop of This Ain’t Fortune Telling. Today I’m giving you the backstory that every tarot learner needs to know before we begin card-by-card next week.

This is the Fool’s Journey — the true narrative the Major Arcana is telling.

This is how tarot mirrors a human life.

From innocence — to initiation — to power — to ego — to collapse — to death — to rebirth — and finally: integration.

We walk through the Fool’s key milestones, the teachers he meets, the tests he fails, the illusions he falls for, and the awakenings that reshape him.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have the actual map that makes the whole thing make sense.

So next week, when we begin with Card Zero — The Fool — you’ll already know the shape of the road he’s stepping onto.

Today: no predictions, no spreads — just context. And context is queen.

Host: Clo
Air Date: October 31, 2025

Welcome to This Ain’t Fortune Telling! In this first episode, Clo sets the tone for the entire series — tarot without the fortune-cookie nonsense. Recorded on Samhain, the witch’s New Year, this solo episode dives into endings, reflection, and the magic of beginning again.

Clo shares why she created this podcast, how her own tarot journey transformed from “please just tell me what to do” to “I’m learning to read my own damn energy,” and why tarot isn’t about predicting your fate — it’s about understanding yourself.

She also walks listeners through a Samhain spread designed to help you release what no longer serves and step into the season ahead with clarity and courage.

• What This Ain’t Fortune Telling is really about
• Why tarot is a tool for clarity — not prophecy
• The energy of Samhain: endings, renewal, and honest reflection
• Clo’s personal story: from seeker to self-truster
• A live Samhain card pull
• A peek at what’s coming in Episode 2: The Fool and His Journey

• The Fool — the card of new beginnings and brave leaps
