Today’s guest is Amanda Yates Garcia, a writer, public witch, and host of the Between the Worlds podcast. In today’s episode, we dive deep into transformation, magic, and the mysteries of the Death card in tarot. Amanda and I discuss what it means to surrender to change, the power of initiation, and how embracing death—both literal and metaphorical—can lead to personal and collective rebirth. She also shares her experience with loss, her perspective on witchcraft as a tool for shaping change, and how magic can help us navigate an ever-evolving world.
