Summer Series - The Tarot: Your Inner Guide

 

Episode Summary

In this episode, host Terri Ann Hyeiman kicks off a new summer series on the Tarot. She begins by discussing the current global climate, urging listeners to focus on freedom, love, and raising their consciousness rather than getting caught in fear and drama.

The episode emphasizes summer as a time for introspection, rest, and connecting with your inner self. Terri Ann introduces the Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and intuition, not just fortune-telling. She debunks common myths, shares its history from a 15th-century Italian card game to a mystical tool, and explains the structure of a Tarot deck. The episode concludes with a collective Tarot reading for the month of July, using both the "Empowered Spirit" and "Wild Unknown" decks to provide clarity and guidance for the upcoming full moon.
