🎙️ Episode 1 — Samhain: Shadows, Endings & New Beginnings

Host: Clo
Air Date: October 31, 2025

✨ Episode Summary

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.
