This episode is our first interview! I had an amazing conversation about creativity, intuition, and unlearning with Quinn Kavanaugh is an artist, channel, and tarot enthusiast from Kansas City, Missouri. Quinn works in astrology, intuitive readings, lithomancy, and helps folks connect back to nature, to their intuition, and personal power. Quinn's practice is rooted with plant medicine, tarot, oracle decks, numerology and astrology.
In the chat we talk a bout our experiences within the arts, visual interpretation of the tarot, Institutional unraveling, and academic vs. intuitive tarot. We also talked more in depth about the July cards for Persistent Bloom and Quinn's shares are wonderful. Excited for you to listen to the whole conversation. So here it is.

This episode explores the two cards for July 2022, The Magician and the High-Priestess, plus a few bonus minor arcana cards. The Eight of Swords, the Four of Cups, and the Ace of Pentacles. This month is about figuring out how to create the situations to make what we want to happen, happen. Getting our supplies together for connecting to our intuition, figure out the instructions it has in store for us. Mel shares the garden of their supplies for 2022 as a source of inspiration. Plus, as usual monthly Bloom Prompts for musicians, artists, and movement practitioners.

This episode explores the two cards for May 2022, The Moon and the Four of Swords. Our deep emotions are rooted by the shadows of institutions we investigate this and more surrounding the Moon card and the present moment. The need for rest is continually present as we process these feelings, and the Four of Swords illuminates the varied paths to do so. This episode includes two spells from the Words as Wands Deck from Women of Rivers and two monthly Bloom Prompts for musicians, artists, and movement practitioners.

This episode explores the concept behind Persistent Bloom as a project, dives deep into the two cards for April 2022 - the Two of Wands and the Three of Wands - and includes monthly Bloom Prompts for musicians, artists, and movement practictioners. These two cards often overlap. Wands symbolizing our inner fire, our passions. They both also symbolize the imagery of passing through a portal.
