My Dad Story (and the Stones that Launched a Thousand Card Images)

Asha Frost, a member of the Chippewas of unceded Nawash First Nation (present day Ontario, Canada) shares with Cyndera about her Oracle deck and recently released book, You are the Medicine: 13 Moons of Indigenous Wisdom, Ancestral Connection and Animal Spirit Guidance. When so much traditional knowledge, life and livelihood has been lost through colonization, where can we even begin to pick up the pieces? New hope is found in the great gift of Frost’s Oracle, illustrated by Steph Littlebird. Steeped in Ojibway teachings, Asha has retrieved this wisdom from ancestors and from her own bones, to share with both indigenous and non-indigenous seekers. She instructs her audience on how to approach and use this medicine respectfully, with the true belief that these teachings can guide each of us back to our own unique medicine. How might the world transform if we are to walk in our own gifts, tailored from our own healed ancestors? While revealing traditional insights, Asha’s work is also immensely inclusive for our modern world. Asha embraces two-spirit folks in her work and introduces guides that are non-binary in both her imagery, stories and language. A whole-hearted gift from a rainbow healer, podcast listeners will love Asha Frost and for the visionary work that lies within her words and Oracle. ASHA FROST (she/her) is an Indigenous Medicine Woman and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. As an energy healer, homeopath, and mentor, Asha has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation with her ceremonies, teachings, and speaking events. Asha lives on Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee Territory, with her husband and two beautiful children, with whom she co-creates a better world for the seven generations to come.

Melissa Townsend: A Talk on Tarot & the Sutras

The Rider-Waite-Smith deck has been known as the preeminent Tarot deck that first illustrated the entire Minor Arcana along with a re-imagining of the Major Arcana that has influenced hundreds of deck on the market today. This podcast interviews Weiser author and editor Judika Illes and researcher/artist/designer Kathryn Sky-Peck about their recently released Weiser Tarot that features Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith's original line art with freshly watercolor painted cards. The Weiser Tarot presents a fresh face that embraces figures on a varying spectrum of skin tone and gender orientation. The creators' process with this landmark deck inspires all of us to come to this antiquated deck with fresh eyes and to "examine each card one by one, prior to considering the interpretations of others." The 78 pieces of art, originally drawn by Smith, "open our intuition and imagination to explore our hearts and minds" (Illes 2022). More about Judika Illes: Born in New York City, Judika Illes is a lifelong lover, student, and practitioner of the magickal arts. She is the author of numerous books devoted to magic spells, witchcraft, saints, spirits, and the paranormal including the best-selling Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells and Encyclopedia of Spirits. Her other books include Pure Magic: A Complete Course in Spellcasting, Magic When You Need It, Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, and Daily Magic, a perpetual calendar of spells, rituals, and feasts. Judika is also the curator of two books of occult fiction. Someday she will publish some occult fiction of her own. Judika is a certified aromatherapist and has been a professional tarot card reader since 1988. Judika has worked as an editor for Weiser Books since 2015. Before that, she worked for The Witches’ Almanac.  She teaches about spell-casting and other topics in the US, internationally, and virtually. Her website is under construction, but Judika is easily found on-line at Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJudikaIlles  Instagram: @judikailles and Twitter: @JudikaIlles More about Kathryn Sky-Peck: Kathryn Sky-Peck has been a life-long student of the esoteric arts. Currently Creative Director at Red Wheel/Weiser, she has been with Weiser books off and on since 1981 when she first began working with the publisher. She is an award-winning poet, a fine artist, and—when the grace of youth allowed it—a modern dancer. She sees all these art forms interconnected, finding color and movement in words and music in poetry. She has been the sole proprietor of Sky Peck Design for the last 27 years, where she maintains a select group of clients, most notably The Witches Almanac and Ibis Press. In her role as book development director at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, she authored Who Has Seen the Wind? and The Poet’s Delay, both compilations of poetry based on the museum’s art collection. She loves the anonymity of being in the background, from where she’s had the honor to work with, support, and learn from some of the occult world’s best-known authors. Not on social media, she lives at the edge of a New England wood with her cat Milo.

Tarot for Kids with Theresa Reed aka The Tarot Lady

The Archetypal Tarot Podcast explores the universal human patterns of the archetypes of the Tarot uncovering provacative mythology for the 21st century

The ATP is one of the absolute best tarot resources out there! The personable and charming hosts present big ideas in a way that is approachable and mind-expanding at the same time, relating the tarot cards to a variety of contemporary and historical figures and events. There are few tarot books, websites, or other types of resources that have deepened my understanding of the major cards more than this podcast. Thanks Julienne and Cyndera! --Weston, host of the Root Lock Radio tarot podcast

Wonderfully insightful!

I found this podcast whilst looking to get some basic knowledge of the Tarot. Couldn&#39;t believe what I&#39;d stumbled across! Julienne and Cyndera draw on myth, archetypes and Jungian psychology to produce an incredibly in depth walk through of the Major Arcana. At the same time, they pitch this in a down to earth style that is accessible to anyone, whether you&#39;re familiar with these kind of concepts or not. They&#39;re also incredibly fun people to listen to - so I think this has to be both the most educational and enjoyable Tarot podcast on the net.

The world seems to be turned upside down, and many of us long for a way to navigate the chaos.  This two part series discusses 4 archetypes universal to everyone that form the core patterns of survival.  Each of these patterns can give us a place to stand amidst the chaos.  If we are open to observing what archetypal patterns are emerging for us we can better navigate our lives and interact positively for ourselves and our community.  First off, what is an archetype?  Archetypes are universal patterns of talents, motivations and behaviors.They contain a dialogue of how and why we use our energy the way we do.Archetypal patterns are a way to learn about the truth and possibilities of our lives. Every character archetype has an empowered or light side as well as a disempowered or shadow side.  Archetypes are both universal and personal.   More on archetypes can be found on Julienne's website:  archetypist.com The core survival archetypes are:  The Child, The Victim, The Saboteur and The Prostitute.  Part 1 delves into The Child and The Victim and Part 2 will cover The Saboteur and The Prostitute.  Each are their own distinct template but for the core 4 survival archetypes but it's useful to also bring in their strongest corollary archetype.   The Child   Corollary archetype:  Sovereign (or King/Queen) responsible for self, has wide care and concern for others.  Is willing and able to respond to the needs of others.  Empowered attributes: Imagination  Sees things afresh  Willingness to try something new The rejuvenating power of play Connects with nature  Curiosity - being curious keeps you open - seeking wisdom vs simple answers even if unsubstatiated - these often concretize - become a protected belief because we are not able to let in opposing or new ideas.    Dismpowered attributes: Naiveté - believing because we want a simple answer. Blind trust / handing our power over to another for protection Temper tantrums Refusal to follow guidance because it’s uncomfortable “You’re not the boss of me!”  Attendant archetypes:  Seeker, Detective, Guide, Artist, Student Victim / Warrior Empowered attributes: Creates, holds and protects boundaries Uses discernment before engaging in battle Seeks not to hurt others but protect Acknowledges that wounds connect us to each other fostering understanding &amp; compassion  Alerts us to when we are in danger Dismpowered attributes: Refusal to move toward healing Hands power over due to woundedness / helplessness  Seeks attention through complaining without movement toward resolution Engages in blame but not toward healing  Attendant archetypes: Judge, Hero, Mentor, Liberator  R.A.I.N.  process to working with archetypes adapted from work created by Tara Brach Recognize the pattern at work in any situationAccept situation with CompassionInvestigate how to move forwardNavigate to next right action or connection  OR  Non-attachment - let go

Survival Archetypes: Guides to Navigating a Pandemic Part 1

It has been a time of darkness, literal darkness, as California in the past weeks have been plunged into power outages, fears of fire, evacuations and unspeakable loss because of those fires - once again.  As the smoke thickens and we face a “new normal,” we seem to be seeing even less clearly around us and are uncertain in these darkening times. True Light, when it comes, is unexpected and often fleeting. More and more we ask, what is our path as a human race? What is our place here on this earth? What can I in my one life do to contribute?  This podcast explores the quest for purpose through a recent reading. The querent asks how she can find her path again and what's important to her amidst a chaotic daily family life. This question is a meaningful personal plea that has collective significance.  Here is how you can get an online reading from anywhere in the world: First Visit storythroughstone.org/readings Purchase the reading using the PayPal button. Readings are usually $75 but with your $30 discount they will only be $45 by Typing in Promo Code STONESEASON.

The Soul Purpose Podcast

Amidst this pandemic we are feeling all the feels. It’s exhausting, it’s confounding, it’s scary and undoubtedly it’s changed life as we know it forever.  In this episode we dive into the archetypal catalysts of three tarot cards, Death/Rebirth, Judgement and The World. We unpack how these relate to the corona virus pandemic and how they can provide insight into our individual and collective opportunities for a pretty big leap in evolution.  We present questions that can help us process what is going on and discover our part in this evolutionary process.  We finish with an idea for an exercise to open ourselves and attune to the inspiration of beauty even in these dark times. Note This recording contains coarse  language as well as humor.  If the idea of death, is overwhelming for you, consider saving this episode for later.  We don’t present anything graphic but we do reference metaphorical death and rebirth as a part of the evolution/growth process. If that's too much right now, we get it - all of our feelings and experiences are heightened as we navigate this crisis and the last thing we want is to make it worse. We send you aloha and compassion.  We named the episode Wide Open based on the title of a painting created by Cyndera's friend Angela Han.  The painting itself was inspired by a song of the same name written by Cyndera and her husband, Joro.  Both song and painting were created in the last month amidst the covid-19 pandemic. Look for a bonus episode with more info. We hope you find inspiration and hope you’ll reach out to us on social media or by email.  For a photo of the painting and links and references visit the show page here: https://archetypaltarot.podbean.com/e/wide-open-three-archetypal-processes-of-evolution/ Journal / exercise / exploration or card spread prompts:  Death-Rebirth  Endings, cycles of transformation, change, new beliefs, new awareness , renewal  (Reversed) not wanting to move on, clinging to the past, fear of change, sentimental, end of hope, forces of destruction  Question: What are you letting go of now and how does that inform your dream of the future?   Judgment self realization and understanding, spiritual awakening, knowing motives, transparency, a reckoning, epiphany  (Reversed) hiding - shadow material  Question: What part of yourself in this crisis needs to be “un-judged” by acceptance in order to feel more whole?   The World  Completion, wholeness, new levels of consciousness, (Reversed) short cuts, a need to follow through, unmet dreams, a need  to stay focused to complete a task.   Questions: What does your beautiful future look like?  Are you able to envision a future where our world has evolved SO much for the better?   Beauty Journal Hat tip to the Metaphysical Milkshake podcast and Dr. Rhett Diessner for this idea. Every week make note of something beautiful in each of these four categories: -A beautiful design -Something beautiful in nature -Something morally beautiful -A beautiful idea  References, Resources &amp; Links: ✨ Angela Han, artist https://www.angelahanart.com/  IG&amp;FB @angelahanart  ✨ Local Futures ✨  The Sunrise Movement ✨  Michael Meade - A Time of Transformation series ✨ New York Times article on St. Rosalia patron saint of plagues ✨ This Jungian Life episode 106 When Everything Changes ✨ Metaphysical Milkshake podcast episode on Beauty   Film &amp; Television with Utopian themes Star Trek  Black Panther  Tomorrowland  Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Avatar Cloud Atlas The Last Station  La Belle Verte The Biggest Little Farm (documentary) The Seventh Seal  "Wide Open"  a painting by Angela Han.

Wide Open: Three Archetypal Processes of Evolution

Happy New Years to our Archetypal Tarot Podcast listeners!  As per the Archetypal Tarot tradition, co-hosts Julienne Givot and Cyndera Quackenbush got together over the phone and picked a card for the new year. This time we picked one from the Rider-Waite Major Arcana and one from the Mana Cards, to bring a bit of Mainland and Island Wisdom together for our New Years reading. Themes emerging include Strength, Winds of Change, At-One-Ment and yelling at CNN...  Poem by Hafiz and Story of Maui from Catherine Kalama Becker &amp; Doya Nardin's Mana Cards (as is the above image)

2020 Podcast

Cyndera &amp; Julienne discuss the the Corona Virus pandemic through the lens of the archetypal stories of the tarot.  Keeping in mind that we drew The Strength card as our focus for 2020, we pull in a few more that we see in evidence during this crisis and discuss how this archetypal view can guide and possibly bring something new to the world during the darkest time.    Tarot Cards / archetypal stories discussed are:  STRENGTH, HANGED MAN, HERMIT, TOWER, DEATH-REBIRTH We are careful in our discussion to honor what unfolds with compassion (and especially self compassion) and not castigate people for not approaching the hardships with a purely spiritual view.  All of our capacities are needed at this time even if it means standing in the closet and screaming obscenities to re-set ourselves for the road ahead.  We also discuss ways to use time away from regular routines to re-connect with friends, spend time in nature, bring life to new projects and observe the process of creativity as fomented by BEING (Yin/Feminine) and then brought to life by DOING (Yang/Masculine). References: As usual we recognize our podcast friends, colleagues and sheroes for their thoughtful contributions and ideas.  ✨ Rash of Stay Woke Tarot reminds us of compassion for ourselves and not feeling ashamed of a less than spiritual approach.  ✨ Award winning author, academic and bad@ss goddess, Naomi Klein ✨ Cyndera's first ever certified Story Through Stone Reader, Desiree Ammons of Sukha Self Care.  ✨ Ke'oni Hanalei of Pohala Hawaiian Botanicals references the lessons of Hawaiian Fern Medicine, particularly Laukahi - Divine Magnetism. ✨ Author, card-slinger and all around bad@ss of tarot, Melissa Cynova turned us on to The Lightseer's Tarot by Chris-Anne which are the images we focus on.

CoronArchetypes: An archetypal discussion about WTF is going on.

How might we liberate our card readings to reveal not only personal insights but also deepen our dialogue with the Earth itself? This question began with a reading for a young woman in Spain, asking if she should leave for London to study acting. The story that resulted, "The Gift of the Oyster" revealed a surprising chain of synchronicities that lead Archetypal Podcast host, Cyndera Quackenbush, to connect more deeply with the surrounding environment and its shelled companions.  Do you have a grit of sand you would like to explore as a possible pearl in a Story Through Stone Reading? We are still accepting questions and readings to be featured on the Podcast, which you can submit by becoming a Patron and e-mailing tarotpodcast@gmail.com. Make your tiny, or not so tiny pledge at tiny.cc/tarot and warmest thanks to our current patrons!

Gifts of the Oyster: Stories and Synchronicities 

Special Summer Travel Edition! Cyndera makes her way to Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, and reflects on two contrasting yet complimentary archetypes - the Pillar and the Mermaid - and how both are present in the images of the Tarot. Stories emerge from Cyndera's own childhood as the failed Delphi of the Desert, and she also offers a creative retelling of the Contest of Athena and Poseidon inspired by her trip to the Acropolis. Questions, Readings and their stories will resume in the next podcast! You can still receive a reading by becoming a patron at tiny.cc/tarot and e-mailing tarotpodcast@gmail.com with your question.
