BTW 72: The Queen of Swords Says You CAN Handle The Truth

When the Queen of Swords comes up in your readings a truth is coming. Ultimately, you will be better off for knowing it. You'll be stronger, clearer, wiser. And maybe a little... uncomfortable? Join us today for this Amanda solo episode where she talks about the Queen of Swords as liberator and also manages to cover Medusa, Artemisia, Lady Hawk, a Berber Warrior Queen, mic drop moments, and debates about whether or not you should move to Portland. Join us!

TAROT FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOP

If you want to go deeper in your tarot practice but aren't sure where to start, join us for this powerful workshop!

Tarot is a witchy way to develop your intuition and find your magic. Every part of your life that involves decision making can be supported by tarot. When we listen to our intuition, we listen to our authentic self. Our heart knows the answer and it can guide us.

Topics include:

• consecrating your decks
• card meanings, and strategies for reading them
• "scary" cards and letting go of superstition
• understanding the Celtic cross spread
• creating your own spread
• a meditation for understanding confusing cards
• a song and gesture to invoke clarity and protection during your readings
• an online workshop and more!

Whether you're just acquired your first deck, or you've been reading for decades, you are always a student of the Tarot. Join us!
