What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?
Starla Yilmaz joins us to discuss her journey as a witch, tarot creator, and cross-stitcher, sharing how a divine calling led her to create the Butterfly Wisdom Tarot deck through 21 months of meticulous stitching.
• Practicing witchcraft since age 15-16, Starla views it as being conscious of energy and recognizing universal connections
• Received a divine promise that "as long as you're writing, you'll be taken care of"
• Added cross-stitch to her calling, leading to the creation of her hand-stitched tarot deck
• Practices practical magic including candle witchcraft, sigil work, and kitchen magic as a busy mom
• Emphasizes issues of cultural appropriation around white sage use, suggesting selenite wands as alternatives
• Built community through her local Universalist Unitarian Church's CUUPS (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) group
• Each card in her Butterfly Wisdom Tarot features a real, identifiable butterfly species
• Created a unique guidebook with micro short stories rather than traditional meanings
• Recommends connecting with local metaphysical shops to find community and resources
Pre-order the Butterfly Wisdom Tarot, releasing June 28th, through your local metaphysical shop or bookstore.
