Ep 1: Introduction to Tarot

Welcome to the very first episode of Tarot Together! 🃏✨

In this kickoff episode, we’re laying the foundation for the journey ahead. We’ll explore what tarot actually is (hint: it wasn’t always about fortune-telling), how the deck is structured, and a little history of how tarot evolved into the magical, intuitive tool we know today.

We’ll break down:

• The Major Arcana: big energy, life lessons, and the Fool’s Journey.

• The Minor Arcana: the everyday magic of the four suits—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles.

• A quick but juicy history of tarot, from 15th-century Italy to Pamela Colman Smith’s revolutionary art in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

Plus, your hosts Jessy and Kristen share how tarot first found them (spoiler: it involves friendship drama, witchy family influences, and a lot of heart), how we each use tarot now, and our favorite decks to read with.

We’ll also teach you how to do a simple one-card pull and reflect on our very first card draw together: the energetic, fast-moving 8 of Wands.

Whether you’re super witchy and kinda gay, kinda witchy and super gay, or somewhere beautifully in between, you’re welcome here. ✨

Next time: We’ll begin our deep dive into the Major Arcana, starting with The Fool. Let’s go!
