Wildly Tarot Podcast

Astrosoul Oracle Deck

This month Wildly Tarot has donated to this much is Rachel Cargle's The Loveland Foundation that an is organization committed to showing up for communities of color in unique and powerful ways, with a particular focus on Black women and girls. This episode is a little more heavy handed on the spiritual and astrology side than the tarot side! Don't worry, tarot is involved, but a deep discussion about ancestors and colonization comes before the tarot enters the discussion. Insta posts mentioned by Esther were by Jessyka from Haus of Hoodoo and Michael from Oldeways. 
Our deck of the week is the beautiful astrologically based Astrosoul Oracle Deck  by Anandamana on Instagram! Holly and Esther rave about this minimalist deck with the perfect amount of navy and gold inlay. We also discuss in-depth the difference between matte card stock and rose petal card stock finishes.

Deck Parameters

Wildly Tarot Book Club: Queer Cosmos

In our inaugural episode of Wildly Tarot Book Club we review Queer Cosmos by Colin Bedell. We were generously given review copies from Cleis Press and were extremely excited to talk about this work and to dip our toes deeper into the world of astrology. 
From the publisher: 
Queer Cosmos is a contemporary, fresh look into astrology, personal insight, and relationships for the LGBTQ+ community! Astrologer Colin Bedell from Cosmopolitan and QueerCosmos.com has brought together fifteen years of research, client interviews, and astrological mastery to create a spiritual guide for not only resistance and resilience, but also personal insights and relationship compatibility.Unpacking complex issues like shame and worthiness, Queer Cosmos explores Astrology as an antidote to feelings of hopelessness and provides language for authentic practices of self-expression. Leaving behind gender-normative pronouns and assumptions, Queer Cosmos explores more nuanced patterns of the archetypal energies expressed in queer experiences.After all, the only way to forge deep, meaningful relationships is to first forge a relationship with yourself. Drawing on research from experts in the field like Dr. Harville Hendrix, Brene Brown, and Esther Perel, Bedell goes deep to provide practical relational theory that can empower readers to find successful and healthy relationships.
