Today's Listener Letter is sent in by Training to Read Tarot in Traverse City.
Dear Bellamy Black,
It was great meeting you at Blessed Be Tea and Apothecary the other day. While I was there, we got to talking about divination and tarot. While I felt like a lot of my questions were answered, you suggested I write a letter to the podcast so that an expert might weigh in on the topic, so here ya go.
I have always felt drawn to practicing divination through tarot card readings, but I am completely overwhelmed. Do I have to start with a specific kind of deck, like the Rider Waite deck, or can I choose one that has artwork I like. Am I even allowed to buy my own deck, or does it have to be gifted to me? I don’t want to be attached to the guide book that comes with the deck, how can I learn to read fluently without the guide? and What is the difference between oracle decks, and tarot decks? Ugh so many questions, I really could keep going, but I think that’s a good start.
I cant wait to hear what your expert has to say on the matter. Thank you for taking my many , many questions. Blessed Be!!
In this insightful episode of Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black, we sit down with professional tarot reader and diviner, Loreen Muzik, to explore the fascinating world of tarot. Together, we debunk some of the common myths surrounding tarot reading, like the notion that you must be gifted your first deck.
Loreen shares her expertise on the differences between reading tarot cards by the book versus tapping into your intuition, and how both approaches can be valuable in your practice. We also take a deep dive into the rich history of tarot, with a special focus on Pamela Colman Smith, the brilliant artist and woman of color behind the iconic imagery of the Rider-Waite deck. We honor her legacy and discuss her significant contributions to the divination community.
In addition, we explore the various forms of card-based divination beyond tarot, including Oracle and Lenormand decks, and how each offers unique insights and guidance.
Whether you’re a seasoned tarot reader or just beginning your journey, this episode is packed with knowledge, history, and practical advice to enrich your divination practice.

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.
