Meat and Potatoes Tarot (with Ellie)
Meat and Potatoes means keeping things simple. There is no need to be confused about what each tarot card means, or how its position in a spread affects its range of definitions. It’s a bit like learning French, or Italian. Once you learn the basics and begin to recognise the language patterns, the only thing left to do is speak the language until it becomes second nature. Meat and Potatoes Tarot is the place to begin learning. Each week Ellie will bring you a new episode, looking in depth at each card in the Rider Waite tarot deck, her favourite tarot spreads, and an explanation of a wide variety of different types of tarot readings. Episodes are based on the Rider Waite tarot deck, the most commonly used tarot deck in the western world. Welcome to Meat and Potatoes Tarot (by Ellie).
