The importance of collective energy and community support when working with tarot for transformation
In this episode, I want to take you on a special journey, using tarot as a tool for transformation. We’ll explore what it means to work with tarot beyond simple divination, how it can support deep self-discovery, and why I’m so excited to invite you into a new offering: a live, collective tarot for transformation journey starting this summer.
Tarot as a Tool for Deep Change
Tarot has always been more than a deck of cards for me. It’s a mirror, a trusted guide, and an invitation to slow down and listen to the voice within.
When I first started reading tarot, I was like many people — flipping through guidebooks, cross-referencing keywords, trying to "get it right." Over time, I realized that tarot isn’t about right or wrong; it’s about relationships. It’s a practice of showing up, again and again, to ask: What do I need to know? Where am I being led?
This shift toward an intuitive, embodied tarot practice has transformed not just my readings but how I move through life. It’s taught me to trust my inner knowing, to see challenges as invitations to grow, and to approach life’s twists and turns with more compassion and curiosity.
Inspiration from Dreya Bloom
Tarot for Transformation by Dreya Blume (formerly Andy Matzner) uses the major arcana to guide us through deep self-discovery. In this book, Dreya outlines three essential steps for living a more authentic, fulfilling life:
1️⃣ Discover who you really are beneath all the social and familial conditioning.
2️⃣ Clarify what you truly want from life.
3️⃣ Learn and integrate essential life skills (like setting boundaries, processing emotions, and cultivating self-compassion).
The major arcana offers archetypal energies that help us work through these stages. By engaging with these cards, we can explore different parts of ourselves and begin to shape a life that feels true and alive.
Three Reflective Questions to Get You Started
In today’s episode, I pulled cards to explore these questions, and I invite you to reflect on them too:
What excites you about what lies ahead?
What concerns might come up as you start this journey?
How does it feel to step into uncharted territory?
This summer, I’m inviting you to join me for a 12-week live course based on Tarot for Transformation!
We’ll spend three months together, working through the major arcana as archetypal guides. Each week, we’ll:
Focus on one major arcana card and the life themes it highlights.
Explore journaling prompts and exercises from Dreya Blume’s book.
Share experiences and support each other in a safe, witchy, and affirming space.
Participate in live one-hour calls (with replays available if you can’t join live).
This is not just about learning tarot — it’s about using tarot as a vessel for real, meaningful change in your life.
If you've ever longed for a supportive community to explore big personal shifts, or if you’re ready to commit to discovering your most authentic self, this journey is for you.
You can sign up to receive more information (no FOMO!). We’re planning to begin at the end of August, so there’s plenty of time to get ready.
July 10, 7:00 PM | Thresholds Collective, South Tacoma
Join us to celebrate the full moon in sacred community! We’ll gather to connect, reflect, and honor our cycles under the moonlight together.
