Have you ever pulled a Major Arcana card and noticed its message playing out in your life for days—or even weeks—after?
Here’s why…
Each of the 22 Major Arcana archetypes highlight major themes that occur throughout our lives.
When we tap into those themes, we start seeing how they show up for us in reality… which helps us see ourselves more clearly.
And when we’re able to feel seen and witnessed through the lessons of the cards, we can then take action to make positive change.
Healer and Tarot practitioner Chelsey May Orsmond has built a thriving business around helping people transform their lives through Tarot in this way.
In our conversation together, Chelsey shares with me how she harnesses the Major Arcana as a potent tool for personal growth and development.

If you've ever experienced burnout…
Or feel like you're constantly striving because you think you have to hustle to achieve your goals… I have some good news!
There’s a better way.
You don’t have to push hard and force your way to success, despite what society tells us. In fact, we can actually achieve a lot MORE by harmonizing with the natural rhythms––like the seasons, the menstrual cycle, and the monthly lunar cycle.
Because when we do this, we feel calmer, more balanced, and have more energy.
And what do all of these cycles have in common?
They have periods of GROWTH followed by REST.
As humans, we are not immune to these cycles (as much as we hate to admit it!).
So the natural cycles encourage us not only to take action… but also to take intentional rest so we can bring our goals to life in a more sustainable way.
For years, I’ve been manifesting with the guidance of the lunar cycles. And I love this practice so much that I’ve created a Tarot spread around manifesting with the moon!
Tune in for:
- [2:11] How to manifest FAST using each of the 4 unique cycles of the moon

Sometimes, our soul’s desires just won’t leave us alone until we listen to them.
This was what happened for Certified Biddy Tarot Advisor Monica Vejar when she first discovered Tarot as a teen.
Having grown up in a religious household, she thought Tarot was “wrong” and “evil”... but she kept feeling a strong pull to keep learning about it.
Once she started actually working with the cards, she realized they could be an important ally for personal growth and mental health.
Now, Monica reads Tarot for hundreds of people to help them overcome their own struggles––and is even working with her best friend on a podcast about Tarot and mental health.
And it all happened because she was willing to listen to her inner wisdom over her limiting beliefs.

Do you feel like you’re here for a reason - but aren’t sure what it is? Nicole, a Certified Biddy Tarot Advisor, felt the same way for most of her life…
Until her mother’s passing in 2021, when she underwent an intense and introspective spiritual awakening. During this time, Nicole remembered that when she was a little girl, she wanted to be a school teacher. And after her awakening, she stepped into a role as a spiritual teacher.

In recent years, I’ve moved away from doing traditional spreads when reading for myself. More and more, I’ve been creating almost a ritual around each card in order to integrate the energy of that card in a powerful way.

Every time we do a Tarot reading, we have a choice.
We can think of a spread to use. Maybe we look into our book and go, “OK, what’s a funky little spread I could do?” Or we jump onto Pinterest perhaps and look up Tarot spreads, and think, “Well, which one will I use today?”
Or we can start creating our own spreads. And this is clearly my favourite way, because it allows you to focus on the heart of the question. So today’s podcast is all about creating your very own Tarot spreads.

Let’s get into it!
Today, we’re speaking with Lauren Aletta from Inner Hue. Lauren is the creator of two Tarot decks: the Lumina Tarot and the Connected & Free Alchemist’s Oracle.
Now, I am a big fan of modern-looking Tarot decks. I believe that modern decks created by independent artists help bring new people to Tarot – and I’m all about bringing Tarot into the mainstream.
Lauren recently sent me both the Connected & Free oracle deck and the Lumina Tarot. The Connected & Free deck is designed to support you in connecting with your own inner wisdom, soul guidance and natural intuitive abilities to navigate the landscape of life. It has 50 oracle cards held safely together in a cute rustic mandala drenched brown box with the 133pg Guidebook that offers not only each card’s meaning but also crystal suggestions for an added energetic boost. Within the 50 cards are also 8 chakra cards to potentially highlight any energetic blocks or expansions are occurring. This is the second edition of the Oracle cards.
The Lumina Tarot is also now on its’ second edition – and it melds animal magick, archetypal energy and symbolism together in potent visual imagery that will support you in accessing your own intuitive abilities. It comes with a 185-page guidebook and offers both yin & yang, light & shadow.
I know these decks have been quite popular on Instagram because they’re just gorgeous!
Let's get into it.
On today’s episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast, we’re talking about significator cards and how you can start using them in your Tarot readings.
Now, I have to be honest: I do not use significator cards in my readings unless I’m doing maybe the Celtic Cross, where it’s actually part of the reading, because I find that the Tarot reading in and of itself gives me enough information. However, I know that for a lot of people who are learning to read Tarot or doing some more work with Tarot, this whole idea of significators certainly comes up at one stage or another. And I know many of you have questions around what they are, how you can use them, how you choose them, who chooses them, and so on.
Today’s episode is really about giving you all of that information, so you can play around, have a go with it, and decide if using significator card is right for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- All about significator cards
- Why you’d want to use a significator
- How to choose a significator
- How to connect the significator in a Tarot reading
On today’s Biddy Tarot podcast, I am speaking with Ben and Noa Knafo, who are behind the Visionary Card deck, and really, this is just a small, small sample of their amazing intuitive artwork that they create.
Now, Noa is the artist, and Ben is the maker and the doer, getting it out into the world. Noa’s art focuses on spirituality and on how the world is right now, but in ways that we cannot necessarily see. Her paintings contain certain energies which allow viewers to experience these realities in similar ways, each in their own personal ways.
Her Visionary Cards are extremely unique. Each card comes with its own description that links to a knowledge hub, where you are invited to not only read further into each meaning, but also to become part of the meaning by adding your own insights.
I’m super excited to talk to Noa today about the process of creating this deck, and her beautiful artwork. Now, let’s get into it!

In this podcast, we chat with Dr. Lisa Freinkel, PhD, a professor, dean and vice provost at the University of Oregon who founded the University’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program. I first came across Lisa’s work at the Northwest Tarot Symposium where she taught a session on using Tarot to build a mindfulness practice.
I first came across Lisa’s work at the Northwest Tarot Symposium earlier on in this year, 2017. At the event, she taught a session on this topic. I was super, super fascinated by how we could incorporate more of mindfulness in our Tarot practice. And vice versa—how does Tarot help us become more mindful?
In today’s conversation, you’ll hear Lisa talk more about mindfulness and how you can bring the techniques of mindfulness into your Tarot practice. The really neat thing is it’s not complicated. It’s not complex; you don’t have to master all of these different steps or processes. It is, in fact, very simple and really about just bringing your attention back into the now.
This podcast episode is different from all the others I’ve done. Instead of having a distinct structure, I wanted to get real with you. I wanted to get into a space where I could share some of the thoughts that are prevalent for me right now.
This podcast is about coming ‘home’ to ourselves using the Tarot and reconnecting to our inner wisdom.
You see, before religions were invented, we HAD to rely on our own innate wisdom to guide us through life. But now, instead of learning how to trust ourselves, we’ve put so much of our trust into other people—our experts, our authorities, our religious figures, and so on.
And we can certainly see this in the Tarot space. We see folks going to Tarot readers and expecting to get all the answers or a silver bullet to solve their problems.
What I want is to bring that trust back into ourselves, reclaiming our own inner wisdom, and knowing that we have all the answers within us. And I think Tarot can certainly guide us in that way.
So join me in this extra special podcast episode, where I talk about this concept of coming ‘home’ to ourselves and how we can use Tarot and our own inner wisdoms to guide us in life.
This week’s podcast episode is a popular one from our archives. It’s the only 3-card Tarot spreads you’ll ever need for your Tarot readings
When I first started learning to read Tarot, I felt overwhelmed by complicated Tarot spreads like the 10-card Celtic Cross or the 13-card Horoscope spread.
So I went on a mission to find the very best 3-card Tarot spreads to keep it simple, but also get deep insight into my life with Tarot as a guide.
In this episode, I’m going to share my very best, never-fail 3 card Tarot spreads. Plus, as a special treat, I’m going to do a couple of sample readings with these spreads so you can get a sense of how they work.
Here’s what I’ll cover:
- How keeping it simple with just 3 cards can give even more insight than more complicated Tarot spreads
- How to handle a general reading with ease and grace
- How to uncover the dynamics of a relationship with just 3 cards
- What Tarot spread to use when faced with a difficult decision
Today, we’re speaking with Michelle Tea, author of the book Modern Tarot, Connecting with Your Higher Self through the Wisdom of the Cards. (Published by Harper-Collins). With her unique insight, inviting pop sensibility, and wicked humor, Modern Tarot is a fascinating journey through the cards that teaches how to use this tradition to connect with our higher selves.
Michelle and I share the same desire to bring a modern approach to Tarot. Whether you’re a committed seeker or a digital-age skeptic—or perhaps a little of both—Tea’s essential guide opens the power of tarot to you. Modern Tarot doesn’t require you to believe in the supernatural or narrowly focus on the tarot as a divination tool. Tea instead provides incisive descriptions of each of the 78 cards in the tarot system—each illustrated in the charmingly offbeat style of cartoonist Amanda Verwey—and introduces specially designed card-based rituals that can be used with any deck to guide you on a path toward radical growth and self-improvement.
In this podcast episode you’ll learn:
- Michelle’s philosophy on modern Tarot and how it can become more mainstream
- Her vision for Tarot in the future
- Her process for writing her book Modern Tarot
Tarot is for more than just divination. I also believe that the Tarot is a powerful tool for personal development.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful Tarot ritual that you can use for your own personal development and deep soul work. Each time I do this ritual, I have had such an enriching experience on a very personal level, so I wanted to share it with each of you.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
- How I developed this personal development ritual when I was in Spain with my family
- The exact process I take, and questions I ask when conducting this ritual
- Ten ideas for how you can use this process for yourself

I am so excited today to be talking with Raven Mardirosian. Raven dreamed of being a missionary, a vet, or an English teacher, and becoming a professional Tarot reader never crossed her mind.
However, she went from being a staunch, born-again Christian and promising academic to life in the woo-woo world. Since become a professional Tarot reader, and she’s authored thirteen books, and many of them include Tarot. She currently offers her gifts through Tarot and Reiki sessions, consulting, and classes on her website at ShivayaWellness.com.
I think so many of us can relate to being reluctant Tarot readers.
And if you’ve ever had that question on your mind about whether Tarot and Christianity can come together, or if they are really poles apart, Raven has certainly gone through that experience firsthand, so you’ll love to hear her perspective on how those two relate.
In this podcast episode, you’ll learn:
- How a nun at a Catholic retreat introduced Raven to the Tarot
- The intersection – and separation – of Christianity and Tarot, religion and spirituality
- Why Raven feels like the reluctant Tarot reader – despite being a successful Tarot author and teacher
- The 3 keys that make Tarot readings simple and easy to do

This episode of the Biddy Tarot podcast features Mimi Khúc, guest editor of the Asian-American Tarot deck.
This is a really interesting Tarot deck, because its conception/creation process was very different from other decks.
In fact, it was created as a way of expressing the different concerns and issues around Asian-American mental health. Mimi is a lecturer in a University, and she wanted to talk about Asian-American mental health in a number of different ways. She found that expressing this through a Tarot deck was one really effective way of being able to talk about some of these issues. That is how the deck was created.
I think you’re going to find today’s conversation really, really interesting, so sit back and relax as I talk with Mimi Khúc.

Then a few years later, she slowly found her way back to Tarot again, and when she was approached by Llewellyn to create a very special tarot deck, she couldn’t wait. That’s where The Animal Totem Tarot came from.

If you’re anything like me, you have a crazy busy schedule. Husband, kids, a house to manage, a business to manage, maybe a job, social commitments; it can be absolutely overwhelming.
And sometimes it can be hard to find the time to devote to my spiritual practice, but when I’m not spending enough time listening to my intuition and getting in touch with that side of myself, I know that everything else will suffer.
That’s when I start to feel like my energy is completely out of alignment and fragmented. Maybe you can relate to that.
So, I got to thinking about this lately and I decided that I wanted to create a way for my Tarot tribe to push pause, get away, and dive deep into their soul’s journey. So in this podcast, I’m going to be talking about four ways that you can go deeper into your soul’s journey with Tarot retreats.

A common perception among many first-time Tarot reading clients – and even readers – is that the Tarot reader will do most of the talking, telling them what the cards mean and what to expect in the future. But, as we'll learn today, it doesn't always have to be this way.
In fact, as Tarot readers, we can 'co-create' a Tarot reading with our clients.
What is co-creation exactly? It's about bringing the client into the Tarot reading process and facilitating a two-way conversation about what the reading means for them.
Now, there is one professional Tarot reader and teacher who does this to perfection – James Wells. He's a Toronto-based tarot consultant who uses one-to-one consultations and group experiences to help people remember their innate creativity, wisdom, resourcefulness, wholeness, and personal power.
In this podcast interview, you'll learn:
- How, at just 12 years old, a book about ESP started James' life-long journey with Tarot
- The powerful questions James asks the Tarot on a daily basis, to guide him towards clear decision-making
- Exactly how James works with his clients to 'co-create' the reading and deliver specific insight and actionable advice
- Why you want the client to do most of the talking during a Tarot reading – and no, it's not about being a lazy Tarot reader!
- How Tarot brings people back to their 'wholeness' in a profound and impactful way
Plus, so much more! Let's dive in…

Tarot – it's where individual and collective wisdom meet.
Individually, we connect with our intuition and subconscious mind to interpret the cards. And collectively, we connect with a group consciousness that has evolved over many years and lifetimes, and we tap into our combined knowledge of the cards.
Together, this individual and collective wisdom creates a powerful connection to the Tarot, enabling us to commune with the Divine in beautiful ways.
In this podcast, you'll learn:
- What individual and collective wisdom really means for Tarot
- Why both are important in enriching your connection with the cards and the Divine
- How we can integrate individual and collective wisdom into our Tarot readings
- What's really going on when you see something totally different in the Tarot cards compared to your favourite book

We are all looking for our tribe. A place where we belong. Where we feel a soul connection with others. Where we are heard, supported and nurtured.

It's the question we all face as Tarot readers – when, if ever, do I come out of the Tarot closet?
For some folks, it's a no-brainer. They love reading the Tarot, and their friends and family are completely supportive and even appreciative of their talents.
But for others, it's not quite as easy. Perhaps their profession prevents them from openly practicing Tarot or their community perceives the Tarot as evil, and so they remain hidden in the shadows.
In this podcast, I talk about coming out of the Tarot closet – when to do it, how to do it, and what you need to consider as you're doing it. I also share my personal story about how I eventually came out of the closet – and it wasn't as easy as you might think.

When I first started to read Tarot, I was just a fresh-faced 18 year old. By my early 20s, I was ready to start reading for other people but there was just one problem. I didn't look like most other Tarot readers, who were at least 20 years older than me!
I had to figure out how I could still maintain credibility with my clients despite my age.
Well, it turns out I'm not alone. My guest today, Fiona Benjamin, learned to read Tarot at 12 and started reading professionally at just 21. She hasn't let age get in the way and has since created a successful online Tarot business – the Modern Fortune Teller - serving clients from around the world.
In this podcast episode, you'll learn:
- How a strange and unique gift from Fiona's mum spurred an avid interest in Tarot
- How to steer clear of getting addicted to your Tarot deck
- Why just being yourself is essential for any Tarot reader, at any age
- 3 success tips for young Tarot readers who are just starting out
- Why it's critical not to let social media and public opinion get into your head

They say that the way to get powerful answers is to ask powerful questions. And that's certainly true of the Tarot.
You see, asking the right questions in your Tarot readings is absolutely critical to discovering the right answers – answers that help you shape your future and manifest your goals and dreams.
When we ask meaningful questions, we get meaningful answers. And similarly, when we ask trashy questions, we get trashy answers.
So how do we ask good questions?
That's what I'm going to cover in this episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast.
I'll discuss:
- Why yes/no questions limit the potential of the Tarot cards
- Why you need to get to the heart of the question for the best insights
- How to turn any question (even the most cringe-worthy ones!) into a powerful question for the Tarot

Reading Tarot for yourself can be a powerful way of connecting with your inner wisdom and Divine guidance…. IF you know how to remain objective and keep an open mind.
The trouble is that many Tarot readers struggle to read Tarot for themselves because they only hear the messages they want to hear or they find themselves getting lost in multiple Tarot readings on the same topic.
When you’re both the reader and the querent, it’s easy to make mistakes.
In this Biddy Tarot Podcast episode, I reveal the top 6 mistakes of reading Tarot for yourself and how to avoid them.
In this episode, I’ll discuss:
- Why you are your best client… and why you need to treat yourself that way
- How to remain objective, even when your emotions are running high
- How to resist the temptation to only hear what you want to hear
- Why you need to keep it simple
So, let’s get to it!
As Tarot readers, we pride ourselves on being able to connect with our intuition when reading the Tarot cards.
But are we really connecting with intuition, or simply seeing what we (or our clients) want to see in the cards?
In this Biddy Tarot Podcast episode, I talk with Mary Greer about the science of intuition and how we can venture beyond our egos to truly connect with the collective consciousness and create more meaningful experiences with the Tarot cards.
Mary discusses:
- How intuition really works in a Tarot reading (it's not what you think)
- The difference between being psychic and intuitive (and gives the clearest explanation I have ever heard!)
- Why when we 'think' we're being highly intuitive, we might be completely off-track
- A 'checklist' to know whether you're truly dialled in to your intuition

In this Biddy Tarot Podcast episode, I name – and bust – 3 of the biggest myths that Tarot beginners face that kill their confidence and make reading Tarot seem impossible.
In this episode, here's what I'll cover:
- How to decipher what's myth and reality when it comes to the Tarot
- How you are the master of your own destiny – not the Tarot
- Why you're not a 'devil worshipper' if you read the Tarot cards
