This marks the soft launch of a podcast-style series where I will be unpacking the archetypal architecture of The Loom, one card at a time, exploring its deeper symbolism, mythic resonance, and practical application as a tool for meaningful inquiry.
In this episode, I cover:
* What The Loom is and why it matters—how it reclaims Tarot as a tool for real inquiry, not fortune-telling.
* The basic structure of Tarot, including the Major Arcana and how it encodes deep archetypal patterns.
* How the five-card spread in The Loom works: North Node, South Node, Voice of Logos, Voice of Mythos, and the Emergent card.
* Why archetypes matter—and how they help us understand the patterns and seasons of our own lives.
* How this podcast series will explore each card, one by one, to map out the deeper architecture of experience.
Blurb
There is a way of understanding the Tarot that transcends the parlour tricks and kitsch of psychic fairs. When you strip away the glitter and the guesswork, what you are left with is an encoded language—a lexicon of archetypes that speaks to the structure of experience itself. This is what The Loom is designed to reveal.
The Loom is not about divination in the sense of fortune-telling. It is a method of deepening one's inquiry into the self and the emergent nature of one's life. Drawing from a six-month, card-by-card analysis of the Major Arcana, and a lifelong study of esoterica and semiotics, I have created a modality that frames Tarot as a tool for reflection and alignment.
The five-card spread—North Node, South Node, Voice of Logos, Voice of Mythos, and the Emergent—acts as a tensile field of inquiry. It is designed to pull out the narrative threads that often lie tangled beneath the surface, illuminating both the mythic and the rational structures that shape our choices and challenges.
This is a reclamation of Tarot as a tool of orientation, a way to map the mythic arc of our unfolding lives with the precision and clarity that archetypal language provides.
If this resonates with you, if you are seeking a way to engage more deeply with the underlying architecture of your own story, find me on Hermetica Reiterated Substack. This is where the real work is unfolding.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
