This episode is a subjective guide to picking Tarot cards that will speak to you. I'm answering seven common questions about Tarot decks for beginners:

Does your first Tarot deck need to be gifted to you?

Should your first deck be the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck?

Do you need to choose a deck that comes with a guidebook?

What books should you read if you're looking for a more comprehensive understanding of the Tarot?

Do you need to follow one teacher or "school" of Tarot?

What's the most important when choosing your first Tarot deck?

How to choose a Tarot deck if you're on a budget?

You can also read this episode as a blog post here.

This is another "...and More" episode of the podcast. My guest today is Etai Nahary, Intuitive Human Design guide and teacher, a dear friend and fellow multipotentialite who's talking about his passion: Human Design from the perspective of True Sidereal Astrology.

Etai created my Human Design chart which you can see in the blog post here. In this episode, we are discussing the intricacies of being a Reflector (me) and a Projector (Etai) when using True Sidereal Astrology approach vs. being Generators if looked through the lens of Tropical Astrology (prevalent in the Western world). We also discuss the way we see Human Design and Tarot as tools for self reflection rather than a prescriptive view of our makeup and our future.

Welcome to the third and last part of the audio unboxing of the My Friend Fire deck by Mari in the Sky - a companion deck to Mari's beloved The Gentle Tarot.

If you haven't listened to Part 1 and 2 yet, go back to the previous episodes and start there!

Is "audio unboxing" a thing? Apparently, now it is!

We're delving deep into beautiful imagery of the last two parts of the deck: Reflection and Transformation suits. Can we talk about images without video? Well, that's what we do at the Tarot & More podcast!

If you have your own My Friend Fire deck, take it with you for the ride. If not but you'd like to, you can buy it from Las Vistas Tarot & More (if you're based in England, Scotland, Wales, Australia and New Zealand at the moment!). If you are elsewhere (well, first of all, hello!!) - there are retailers around the world who stock Mari's decks and Mari sells them as well, of course.
