BTP87: The Antiquarian Tarot with Maree Bento Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

On today's Biddy Tarot podcast, I'm speaking with Maree Bento, the creator of the Antiquarian Tarot.

The Antiquarian Tarot features handmade collage art with an antiqued aesthetic that brings together beautiful 19th century photographs & older artwork into a modern usable deck. Each card was lovingly and attentively crafted to form a functional working deck as well as an engaging work of art.

The deck includes two bonus significator cards and draws inspiration from both the traditional Rider-Waite deck and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

I met Maree at the Northwest Tarot Symposium this year and I just loved the unique look of this deck.

In this episode, you'll learn:

All about the Antiquarian Tarot
The process for releasing this Tarot deck into the world

BTP85: Tarot and Mindfulness with Lisa Freinkel Jul 31, 2017

Show notes

In this podcast, we chat with Dr. Lisa Freinkel, PhD, a professor, dean and vice provost at the University of Oregon who founded the University's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program. I first came across Lisa's work at the Northwest Tarot Symposium where she taught a session on using Tarot to build a mindfulness practice.

I first came across Lisa's work at the Northwest Tarot Symposium earlier on in this year, 2017. At the event, she taught a session on this topic. I was super, super fascinated by how we could incorporate more of mindfulness in our Tarot practice. And vice versa—how does Tarot help us become more mindful?

In today's conversation, you'll hear Lisa talk more about mindfulness and how you can bring the techniques of mindfulness into your Tarot practice. The really neat thing is it's not complicated. It's not complex; you don't have to master all of these different steps or processes. It is, in fact, very simple and really about just bringing your attention back into the now.

BTP84: Coming 'Home' to Ourselves: Reconnecting with Our Inner Wisdom Jul 24, 2017

Show notes

This podcast episode is different from all the others I've done. Instead of having a distinct structure, I wanted to get real with you. I wanted to get into a space where I could share some of the thoughts that are prevalent for me right now.

This podcast is about coming 'home' to ourselves using the Tarot and reconnecting to our inner wisdom.

You see, before religions were invented, we HAD to rely on our own innate wisdom to guide us through life. But now, instead of learning how to trust ourselves, we've put so much of our trust into other people—our experts, our authorities, our religious figures, and so on.

And we can certainly see this in the Tarot space. We see folks going to Tarot readers and expecting to get all the answers or a silver bullet to solve their problems.

What I want is to bring that trust back into ourselves, reclaiming our own inner wisdom, and knowing that we have all the answers within us. And I think Tarot can certainly guide us in that way.

So join me in this extra special podcast episode, where I talk about this concept of coming 'home' to ourselves and how we can use Tarot and our own inner wisdoms to guide us in life.

BTP83: From the Archives: My Never-Fail 3-Card Tarot Spreads Jul 17, 2017

Show notes

This week's podcast episode is a popular one from our archives. It's the only 3-card Tarot spreads you'll ever need for your Tarot readings

When I first started learning to read Tarot, I felt overwhelmed by complicated Tarot spreads like the 10-card Celtic Cross or the 13-card Horoscope spread.

So I went on a mission to find the very best 3-card Tarot spreads to keep it simple, but also get deep insight into my life with Tarot as a guide.

In this episode, I'm going to share my very best, never-fail 3 card Tarot spreads. Plus, as a special treat, I'm going to do a couple of sample readings with these spreads so you can get a sense of how they work.

Here's what I'll cover:

How keeping it simple with just 3 cards can give even more insight than more complicated Tarot spreads
How to handle a general reading with ease and grace
How to uncover the dynamics of a relationship with just 3 cards
What Tarot spread to use when faced with a difficult decision

BTP82: Modern Tarot with Michelle Tea Jul 10, 2017

Show notes

Today, we're speaking with Michelle Tea, author of the book Modern Tarot, Connecting with Your Higher Self through the Wisdom of the Cards. (Published by Harper-Collins). With her unique insight, inviting pop sensibility, and wicked humor, Modern Tarot is a fascinating journey through the cards that teaches how to use this tradition to connect with our higher selves.

Michelle and I share the same desire to bring a modern approach to Tarot. Whether you're a committed seeker or a digital-age skeptic—or perhaps a little of both—Tea's essential guide opens the power of tarot to you. Modern Tarot doesn't require you to believe in the supernatural or narrowly focus on the tarot as a divination tool. Tea instead provides incisive descriptions of each of the 78 cards in the tarot system—each illustrated in the charmingly offbeat style of cartoonist Amanda Verwey—and introduces specially designed card-based rituals that can be used with any deck to guide you on a path toward radical growth and self-improvement.

In this podcast episode you'll learn:

Michelle's philosophy on modern Tarot and how it can become more mainstream
Her vision for Tarot in the future
Her process for writing her book Modern Tarot
