RLR S3E2: Reframing Strength Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, I ask for your questions regarding working with clients professionally (for a future episode). I then dive into the STRENGTH card and investigate how tarot urges us to consider an alternative version of what "strength" means by incorporating more spiritual and feminine energies. I also discuss why this card highlights the importance of Pamela Coleman Smith as a tarot trailblazer, by comparing her image to that in the Marseille deck. I then look at each of the 8 cards of the minor suits and how they echo this message of STRENGTH. www.rootlocktarot.com Music provided by: Shenandoah Davis www.shenandoahdavis.com Jeré www.soundcloud.com/jerejerejere Support RLR and join the discussion forum: www.patreon.com/rootlockradio Buy the Root Lock Radio Season 1 Companion Guide or the Root Lock Tarot Book of Spreads: www.rootlocktarot.com/books Sign up for the Root Lock Tarot email list: www.rootlocktarot.com/contact Follow Root Lock Tarot on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rootlocktarot I hope you find the links between tarot and psychotherapy concepts useful.

RLR208: Reversals, Revisited Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I will revisit the concept of reading reversals in tarot and offer some ways to develop your reversal-reading toolkit. I discuss how reversals present an alteration or disruption of the energy of the card and how reading reversals is a process-based skill, rather than one based in memorization. I will then cover three pathways that a reversed card may present (disconnection, resistance, or release) with an example of each. I will then discuss some reversal interpretations of cards from the major arcana that I have developed over the course of my tarot practice. Enjoy!

RLR207: It's Alive! Interpreting Jumpers, Repeaters, and Damaged Cards Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I will explore the various ways a tarot deck can have a life of its own. I will explore how to interpret "jumpers" (cards that jump out of the deck) "repeaters" (cards that keep showing up across readings) and the value of keeping a tarot journal or log. I will then tell two slightly eerie – and totally true – stories about cards that incurred damage in my tarot deck and why I started embracing damaged cards.

RLR206: Card Reframe: 8, 9, and 10 of Swords Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I will work to reframe the 8, 9, and 10 of swords cards. Although the imagery on these cards is dark and ominous, I view them as invitations to feel and heal. To explain this, I will draw on concepts from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and the book 'It's Not Always Depression' by Hilary Jacobs Hendel to distinguish between inhibitory emotions and core emotions. I will then connect these concepts to the imagery in the 8-10 of swords cards. We will then turn to the 8-10 of cups cards to define the healing invitation of these challenging swords cards. Enjoy!
