Tarot is so popular in witchcrafting circles, they’ve become a beautiful cliche. We have inside jokes about particular cards, and some artists have whimsically created depictions of the Happy Squirrel to give cardslingers everywhere a giggle.

Join us on today’s podcast as we discuss these questions, and provide our favorite methods for both learning tarot, AND using the cards in unconventional ways as part of our workings.
