Hello, beautiful souls. Join Elaine, the Arcane Oracle, as she answers commonly asked questions about tarot in this short and illuminating episode. Elaine introduces herself as a tarot reader and astrologer with over 20 years of experience and thanks her gracious hosts at the EyeOpener Society.
Elaine explains how tarot functions as a communication channel to the spirit realms: a symbolic, eloquent language of 78 cards (and reversals) that translates subtle energies around a question. She outlines why tarot is an effective divination tool and how it taps into present and past energies to reveal likely future trajectories.
The episode covers the role of free will—how tarot can predict likely outcomes based on current conditions, but those outcomes can change when choices, actions, or mindsets shift. Elaine emphasizes the empowering idea that you can change your fate.
Elaine also discusses the origins of tarot, tracing its beginnings from the late-medieval card game Taroki through controversial theories about ancient Egypt to the 19th-century Golden Dawn’s integration of tarot with hermetic Kabbalah, astrology, and ceremonial magic—the Western esoteric tradition Elaine follows.
Listeners will learn about tarot as a medium for spirit communication: connecting with your spirit team (guides, guardian angels, ancestors), channeling messages from loved ones on the other side, and using tarot for mediumship, ritual work, and investigating paranormal activity—always guided by clear intention.
This concise episode offers clear, practical answers about how tarot works, what it can (and can’t) predict, its historical context, and how to use it for spiritual guidance and mediumship. Elaine closes with warm New Year wishes for 2026 and provides information for listeners interested in personalized, in-depth readings at elainesarcanetarot.com or via text at 765-739-0278.
