In this episode of the GRACED podcast, we’re diving deep into the mystical world of Tarot Tantra Esoterica with Robert Ryan!
Rob shares his personal journey with tarot, the inspiration behind his Tarot Tantra Esoterica deck, and how shadow work, self-discovery, and spiritual transformation all play a role in tarot reading. We also explore the Tower card, its meaning in times of destruction and rebirth, and how we can use it as a tool for growth.
