Postcards from the Liminal Space

Since it has been two weeks since Esther and Holly have talked to each other, our excitement causes us to be all over the place this episode! A listener question surprisingly puts us through a gauntlet of MATH WORDS you guys, BUT we power through and were able to deliver a coherent reading about their PHD pursuits. We also answer a listener question about sharing with their partner and how to encourage them to open up about the deeper things within them. Our deck of the week is the quirky, super woo-woo, and in your face oracle deck, Postcards from the Liminal Space by Bakara Wintner and Christian T. Berry from Everyday Magic.

Earth Bones Tarot

While Esther is away the Holly and our guest co-host Kylie (@thearchivistwitch) will play! Upfront, some content warnings for this episode! We talk about death, grief, cancer, terminal illness, suicide, depression, suicidal ideations, menstruation, and how we are personally dealing with the waves of grief. Kylie introduces us to Matt, her fiance that she lost to cancer this past April, and how tarot (and therapy) has helped her with connecting to Matt and moving forward beyond the grief. Holly and Kylie each walk through the spread we mentioned in our Tarot for Troubled Times episode and share how it helped reveal truths to them about themselves and processing their grief.Along the way there is sadness, laughter, and honoring the lives of those we have lost by "Moving Forward, Not Moving On" and the book The Hot Young Widows Club. We finish out our episode by reviewing the extremely loved (by Kylie especially) Earth Bones Tarot deck by Alchemi_Soul on Instagram! Michalea is a goddess damn genius and is completing their second edition of this deck that will soon open for pre-orders. So as Kylie would say, "GET ON IT!"

She Wolfe Tarot

In this episode Holly and Esther were inspired by our listener question about using only majors in spreads so we decide to do a  Summer Solstice/Litha spread from BujoWitchcraft using ALL MAJORS!

Tribute to an Aquarian

Our card of the day unsurprisingly reads the gals and exposes personal struggles they've been going through recently. For our listener questions we talk about reading reversals and do a reading about choices within a friendship.
