Midnight Magic Tarot
Sunday May 21, 2023
Sunday May 21, 2023
Our banter for the episode includes wearing curlers in public and Convincing Esther to move to the West Coast when getting back to the states. Our question of the episode our listener asks about pivoting to a new career in Wedding and Event planning. Somehow this lead to talking about trying to remember the plot of "While You Were Sleeping" the "erotic thriller" with Sandra Bullock. We then discovered that we both mis-read and therefore misunderstoof the plot for "One Last Stop" by Casey McQuinston. The deck Holly pitches to Esther in this episode to add to her collection is the Midnight Magic Tarot. (Which Esther will purchase after the big move...)

Whoops!

We have a lengthy catch up about our various travels so if you prefer to skip the banter, you can go to around the 23 minute mark and start there. . We have four questions from listeners this episode that include, a question about creating a tarot persona, building a self love mantra, how we use Memento Mori and the expansion packs, as well as an encouragement for Empress during their first pregnancy.

In this episode, Holly and Esther catch up on how her hiking trip to Thailand went and preparations Holly is making for her trip to Ireland and England.
Our questions of the episode involve the transition to a new job role that's a bit out of our listener's comfort zone. As well as a listener wondering what to do with friends who have gone "Q-woo" and pursuing new friendships.

To the point she brings out her entire collection of "Tumble Bugged" decks and extras she's hoarded from this artist.

Building a Tattoo Mantra for Esther with Compendium of Constellations
Saturday Feb 18, 2023
Saturday Feb 18, 2023
(Apologies for Esther's mic issues, all of the mics were actively dying during recording and we didn't realize until later what had happened.)
Our Handy-Dandy-Form didn't have any question submissions for this episode, so Holly sat Esther down to do a reading for her trip to Thailand and how meaningful it's going to be.
Then to build on that Esther has had writer's block surrounding a mantra for her tattoo that she'll be getting on the trip so we talk through things and use the fab Compendium of Constellations to build one!

Sunday Oct 09, 2022
In this episode we immediately get down to business because *someone* has jury duty. In our first question of the episode, a listener asks how to connect with their Grandmother using tarot so we pull out "Ancestral Tarot" by Nancy Hendrikson and use a spread she created to connect with our beloved dead. Our second question of the episode asks what our listener can do to expand and become more confident in their practice.
Our deck of the episode welcomes a new format we will periodically do where we take turns trying to convince the other to buy a deck they haven't acquired yet. This week, Holly is trying to convince Esther to purchase "The Tarot of Curious Creatures" by Chris Anne. While everyone knows how much we both love Chris-Anne, Esther isn't too keen on art with weird faces...so listen to find out how she reacts to this recommendation from Holly!

Our opening banter is still us continuing to enjoy the "Idiots to lovers" trope in Romance, referencing a book (or two) that have hit that sweet spot recently.

Sunday Sep 18, 2022
In our review-less episode we (totally on purpose *cough*) start out by giving listeners a sneak peak in what goes into our choosing a deck to review each week. Then as banter we talk about the "Neutral Shift Cycle" concept and how it's opened our eyes to so many trends from our lifetimes.The first question from our listener, combines things she is working on in therapy and asking us how to expand on those ideas and concepts. Our second question, from Natalie, allows us to be a little more indulgent in pulling cards for each other asks us to elaborate on why we're so great. Our final question is from a listener who is trying to balance supporting their husband and taking care of themselves in the process.
On the Patreon this week is the first episode in our Charmed Season Two review. (Episodes 1-11)! We love the tone of season two so much and are thankful that we decided not to just skip the seasons.

So check that out if you're interested!) We also go into exploring other woo-woo areas that may come up in their journey.
The second question of our episode our listener asks about staying with her current company and potential career opportunities or starting to see what else is out there.
The Highlights of our Hiatus were: Life Line Tarot , Pink Sugar & Black Salt Lenormand, Stray Cat Tarot, Aibo Dog Tarot, and Circular Rider Waite Smith, Weiser Tarot. A collaborative card game called Quicktionary (Upon Holly's suggestion, Esther has already purchased a copy!) As for books here we go: Raising a Sensory Smart Child, Heartbreaker, The Scoundrel Falls Hard, How the Wallflower was Won, Scandalized, People We Meet on Vacation, Hook, Line and Sinker.
Also, sending love out to the family of Norbert Loesche, creator of one of our favorite decks, Cosmic Tarot, for their passing during our hiatus. We wrote a chapter in our book about his deck, and are so thankful for his impact on our tarot practice through his artwork.

Thursday Mar 31, 2022
Holly and Esther immediately start recording after seeing each other because they both already have different thoughts about our deck of the episode! Holly also explains why her coffee delayed her appearance for their recording. (We are a pro-coffee and pro-union podcast in case that needed to be clarified.) Our questions for the episode involve whether our first querent should continue seeing a psychiatrist now that they've found a therapist. Our second querent asks how to tell a partner that they're wanting to break up and other big life questions that comes with making that decision. And finally, for our deck of the episode, The Good Karma Tarot, you find out reasons why Esther low-key/high-key doesn't like the deck and Holly enjoys it!

Holly shares about her new hair gloss treatment that made her beautiful red hair more vibrant and we talk about how we narrowly avoided our "Oops All Oracle" episode becoming an "Oops all Black and the Moon Oracle" episode.
Both questions for the episode are a little similar, previously we've answered questions for both questions and so there's a return to ask where the relationships stand now and how to proceed forward. Unsurprisingly, Compendium of Constellations and RECLAIM Oracle do not hold back!
The Oracle deck we're reviewing this episode is Amor Et Psyche by Rachel Paul using art from Georges Barbier to create an unique oracle deck that follows the journey of love using stunning art that draws on ancient Greek myth and imagery.

The banter of the episode involves Holly and Esther talking about their much anticipated D&D game and teases for a possible future game for Patrons. Our first question of the episode asks about their career as the breadwinner of their home and how they can find a career that meets their needs both emotionally and monitarily. Our second question asks about using oracle decks in readings and we go on a ~slight rant about how Oracle decks are treated in the tarot community and about how we incorporate oracle decks into our readings!
The decks we talk about in this episode come from the second half of the contemporary section of our book: Golden Girls Tarot , Le Beau Monde Tarot , Kaleidadope Tarot, TV Series Tarot, Antique Anatomy Tarot, Our Tarot, 5 Cent Tarot, Next World Tarot, Black Power Tarot, Fifth Spirit Tarot, and The Numinous Tarot.

We open our episode talking about the new Coffee/Baba Yaga tattoo Esther is getting and how things we were warned about in our childhood are absolutely not as relevant as we expected them to be. Our questions this episode ask about a job that possibly could be too good to be true for our first querent and our second question asks why we personally don't read reversals on the podcast. The decks we talk about in this episode come from the first half of the contemporary section of our book: Impressionists Tarot , Japaridze Tarot , Golden Tarot of Klimt, Moonchild Tarot , Dust II Onyx Tarot, and Guided Hand Tarot.

Apologies for the late release of this episode, there was a death in Esther's family so we are grateful for your patience. In this episode we mention the 100 Day Dress challenge Esther is doing along with the no-clothing-buy Esther and Holly are doing together! The first question of the episode asks about when would be a good time to become a dog parent. (When this happens, we absolutely demand dog tax pictures!) Our section of question, is a longer one about the multiple decisions our querent has available to them during their Chariot year where they have many paths open to them but they're unsure which direction to go in.
Our deck of the episode is the long awaited Motherpeace Tarot, the last deck that we have a chapter dedicated to in our book! We go over why this deck is so important to the legacy of tarot but also where we have apprehensions about personally using this deck in our own practice.
