In this Creator's Corner, Ettie sits down with Lori Lytle, Author of "Talismans & Tarot" to interview Lori about her practice and her book and all of the love and intentionality she infused in her book. It was such an honor having Lori on this episode to discuss the book itself, it's creation process, and how practically talismans have made a difference in her own practice. You can follow Lori on Instagram or find her on her website, Inner Goddess Tarot. Also check out her Universal Consciousness Tarot while you're purchasing her book!

In this quick review, Ettie talks about Talismans & Tarot by Lori Lytle . This charming book (no pun intended) integrates the use of tarot with the creation of personal magical objects to enhance one's intentions in their magical practice. Talismans & Tarot not only provides substantial resource for all 78 cards, but serves as a guidebook for creating a talisman from start to finish with thoughtful ritual suggestions, consecration and working with them. This book was provided by Weiser Books, but the review and thoughts contained in it are honest. Hang out with Ettie every Thursday and Saturday evening on Twitch to talk tarot and play games with tarot; Locally check out their classes at The Chattery teaching tarot classes in October!

I am so thrilled that my favorite drag artist, Stella Boheme, has joined me again to release an early sneak peak and discussion about their upcoming book Read Like a Queen : Real-Life Insights to SLAY Your Tarot Practice ! Stella, a long time Wildling, has given we Wildlings the first chance to pre-order their book! I've linked to Red Feather's page directly as many people are boycotting Amazon and other box shops at this time. I mentioned it in the podcast, but please pre-order if you are able! Pre-order numbers matter a lot to publishers so showing up to support one of our own would honestly be so amazing. I do want to apologize to Stella for the quality of this recording. We had every intention to release a video episode and they got all glammed up just for technical problems to complicate things so the video portion of things and my audio (as you'll be able to tell) were victims of Mercury in the Gatorade again. [Side Note: Thankfully now I have an alternative so this won't happen again] So all of that to say, I hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we had fun recording it and getting the first peek into how to read like a drag queen which I am already certain just from the snippets I've been privy to will absolutely be one of the books that goes on my beginner readers list. Also while you're here, Book Stella for a reading on their website and go follow them on Instagram to take a break from the doom scrolling.

This week, Wildly Tarot is going a little off the rails when Charlie, a mentalist, tarot reader, and Ettie’s very own D&D Dungeon Master joins the podcast as guest co-host! Charlie brings a totally different perspective to the cards, blending mentalism and tarot in a way that’s both thought-provoking and delightfully outside the norm. We chat about the idea that all tarot is valid (a novel concept we know) and how Charlie forged a personal relationship with tarot after coming to it through some pretty unconventional paths. We also tackle a listener question about how to reconnect with your magic after getting burned by big spiritual predictions, for example, TikTok astrologers and tarot readers swearing that Trump wouldn’t take office. Plus, we nerd out over the major arcana in the Tarot de Marseille and why this deck still holds its own centuries later.
