THE STAR: Naked in the Water w/ Chantal de Felice
What happens when the tower that has confined you for decades finally falls? Artist Chantal de Felice spent twenty years as the primary caregiver for her mother who struggled with mental illness. When her mother passed in 2020, Chantal found herself suddenly free – and completely unprepared for that freedom. This conversation explores what happens when we're given a second chance to discover who we are. After her mother's death, Chantal sold her car, gave up her studio, and became what she c...

Pulling Cards for Listener Questions: Seeking 'Holy Strangeness' Yet Avoiding the Cards & Dreaming of Floods
In this episode, I pull cards for a community member's quandaries and questions. This seeker writes that they SEE the cards sitting there across the room, but can't bring themselves to reach for the deck, shuffle it up, and commune with the magic. The drudgery of work is draining their energy, when all they want is a life "dripping with wonder and holy strangeness." (Ugh, don't we all!) I talk about how this is a really common experience for magical people trapped in the mundanity of 'c...

5 THINGS: Creativity & Academia
✨ If you're finding this in June... CHECK OUT THE SUMMER SYNERGY SPECTACULAR — to support and celebrate 8 years of Typewriter Tarot! ✨ In this episode, I share five key insights about the impact of academia on our creativity, particularly within fine arts graduate programs. I attended one myself — a LOOONNNNG time ago — but I've also worked with a number of creative people who have also been through such programs (so, I've got lots of anecdotal evidence). I share my own experience going...

5 THINGS: Capitalism & Creativity
In this episode, I dive into the HUGE topic of Capitalism and how it impacts our Creativity. I share 5 BIG THINGS I see within this tense relationship between the two, and what that often means for us as Creative Spirits. Let's explore... how Capitalism infiltrates our thoughts, beliefs, aspirations, and the way that we create — often without us even realizing it... what could it be like if Capitalism were not such a giant pair of handcuffs on our Creativity... and how we can open thing...

THE TOWER: Reaching into the Fire w/ writer Robin Gow
In this episode, we explore The Tower (no one's favorite card to receive!). The Tower is a card that can shake things up, to put it mildly, and bring about great change. My guest is rather familiar with The Tower's energy and impact, and shares about their personal experiences with this card as we explore this archetype of disruption, awakening, and reorientation. My wonderful guest is Robin Gow, a trans poet, writer, activist, educator (and demonologist!) whose YA novels include Gooseb...

5 THINGS: Creativity as an Energy
In this episode, I talk about one of the foundational beliefs of my work — that creativity is an energy, not a personality trait, nor an exclusively human feature. I explain 5 elements, aspects, or implications of this belief and what it means for us as creatively inclined humans. I'm curious to know... does this resonate for you? Does it change the way you think about creativity? Expect a few more "5 Things" episodes about things like Creativity & Capitalism, Creativity & Acade...

Using Tarot to Make Decisions — Part 2
This is a follow-up on a previous episode (Using Tarot to Make Decisions — Part 1), where I talked about how I used Tarot as part of my process for making a big decision. I ended that episode giving y'all the impression that I'd gone with the option that appeared to be "less glorious," and a little softer. But after sharing that episode out, THINGS CHANGED! And I changed my mind. So, it feels only right to share what happened next, how it turned out (so far), and how, with some hi...

The Magic, Art & Myth of Plants w/ Artist Kevin Jay Stanton
In this episode, I talk with artist and illustrator Kevin Jay Stanton, creator of the Botanica Tarot, a deck comprised of 78 gorgeous paintings depicting a different plant for each archetype. Kevin's work on this deck included extensive research into the natural history, cultural associations, and mythologies associated with each plant, and these are included in the guidebook to inform the seeker's experience with the cards.

Reading & Soul-Searching Octavia Butler's Parables in Times of Crisis
Recorded on an auspicious Martin Luther King Day that coincides with the inauguration of a new and former extremist US president... in the wake of the LA wildfires and the acceleration of climate collapse writ large, we turn to the novels of Octavia E. Butler, the groundbreaking Black feminist sci-fi writer whose work is rooted in the aspirations, truth-telling, and hopes of Afrofuturism. In a wide-ranging conversation with two of my favorite Afrofuturists — writer Evan Narcisse and liberato...

The Year of The Hermit
It's the year of The Hermit (because 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9, The Hermit's number). And it's sure to be a wild year all around — politically, environmentally, technologically. So, what wisdom does The Hermit have to offer us as we head into the unknown? In this episode, I share three key themes from the Hermit workshop I hosted last week in the Creative Magic Collective. Presented as Hermit principles or philosophies, I invite you to think about how these might apply to your life in the coming yea...

Using Tarot to Make Decisions — Part 1
In this episode, I share how I recently used Tarot to help me make a decision that felt risky and challenging, and how I fell into a hierarchical paradigm with the cards... but discovered later there was more nuance to what the cards offered (like always!!!). I use this story to share some thoughts about why we might consult the cards when we face big choices, how to regard the cards that show up, the goodness of calling in additional sources of information, allowing for time, choosing...

TEMPERANCE: Tending Our Aliveness w/ Natalie Ross
To explore the Temperance card, I connected with Natalie Ross, a trauma-informed marketing coach and the creator of one of my favorite podcasts, the now-retired-but-still-available "Earth Speak," which aired from 2016 to 2023. In this episode, Natalie and I dork out about the art on both the Smith-Waite and the Gentle Tarot decks, analyzing the visual elements and parsing out themes and messages: earthy-ness versus the celestial, homeostasis and flow, balance, surrender, and peace.

For an exploration of The Hanged One, I had to talk to Amelia Hruby, creator and host of the podcast Off the Grid, a show for small business owners who want to leave social media without losing all their clients. These days, the prevailing logic is that ANY and EVERY successful business MUST have an Instagram account. But Amelia's made it her mission to show us what else is possible — something The Hanged One is in the process of realizing. This 12th card in the Major Arcana is about steppin...

DEATH: How Do We Want to Live? w/ Mara June
I've deferred The Hanged One episode briefly (it would normally appear here), because this conversation on the Death card unexpectedly took on much bigger dimensions in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which devastated huge areas of Western North Carolina less than two weeks ago. My guest for this episode is Mara June — death doula, grief alchemist, and community herbalist who lives in Asheville, NC. Mara experienced the storm firsthand.

Why You Need Alone Time so You Can Deal with LIFE TIME
In this microdose episode (un-edited and ALMOST under 30 minutes!), I follow up on our Hermit and Wheel of Fortune conversations to explore why it's so important to seek out and enjoy solitude. I talk about solitude as a place to center ourselves, discover what's true for us, commune with Spirit and Creativity, and just be in our own energy. I also talk about how solitude helps us navigate when the Wheel of Fortune injects change into our lives. Rather than simply reacting, or responding ...
