In this episode, Risa settles into the incomparably delightful and utterly comforting no-BS vibes of The Theresa Reed aka The Tarot Lady. In this joyful conversation with the coven, Theresa shares her understanding of the cycles made visible by astrology that give her hope even in these often dark times. She offers tips for picking up messages from the songs in the air, and practical means of adapting your learning of the messages in Tarot to different kinds of brains and memories. In her frank, unfiltered, and loving way, she offers exceptional advice for folks learning divination, and for anyone trying to balance life against burnout. "As a Catholic schoolgirl with a superstitious mother and a grandma who felt omens like other folks feel arthritis, it’s not too surprising that Tarot, astrology & other intuitive arts would become my driving fascination — and my life’s work. I picked up my first Tarot deck at age 15, and kick-started my career by performing readings on my little sister (most of her questions were about the cute boys in class. Some things never change.) Thirty years later, I’ve done readings on thousands of clients — from police officers to recovering addicts to new mothers to angst-ridden teens. I’m fascinated by the complexity of individual cause-and-effect, and I’m devoted to helping people make better decisions — and lead happier lives. I believe that nothing is fated, that everything is fluid — and that the cards have the power to inspire courageous, life-affirming action. But only if you honor your emotional & intuitive reactions for what they really are — a quiet, guiding intelligence."
