Root Lock Radio: A Tarot Podcast
A podcast for uncloaking, learning, and exploring the tarot cards, Root Lock Radio is designed to be a course in tarot for beginners and tarot experts alike. By focusing on the systems of archetypes, symbols, elemental energies, and numbers that lie beneath the tarot, the podcast will help you to understand the tarot cards on a deeper level and in a more flexible way. Whether or not you believe in mysticism, my hope is that the Root Lock Radio podcast will reveal how the wisdom woven into the tarot cards can help us all to lead more mindful, balanced and fulfilling lives. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I take you behind the curtain of my Year Ahead Birthday Tarot Readings with a demonstration. Drawing on the submission of a Root Lock Radio listener, I share an 11-card tarot reading that includes both Beacon Cards and cards drawn from the deck. This serves to demonstrate some of the specific skills I use in tarot readings (which I will recap in S3E8) and also to show you what a year ahead reading from me entails. ...

In this episode, I take a look at the 8, 9, and 10 of wands cards and how they represent experiences of anxiety and hypervigilance that can be difficult to manage with techniques like meditation. Instead, we look to the suit of pentacles as offering grounding resources for moments like these. We also take a look at the trait of narcissism, which is often viewed as the lower expression of the fire suit. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I draw on an IFS-informed way of working with the court cards to examine how to work with the Queens. I offer a refresher in how to use the court cards from this perspective (first introduced in season 2, episodes 2 and 9). I also offer a simplified update of this concepts. Then, we take a look at each of the four Queens in the tarot. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I ask for your questions regarding working with clients professionally (for a future episode). I then dive into the STRENGTH card and investigate how tarot urges us to consider an alternative version of what "strength" means by incorporating more spiritual and feminine energies. I also discuss why this card highlights the importance of Pamela Coleman Smith as a tarot trailblazer, by comparing her image to that in t...

I then dive into a look at the page cards from the IFS-informed approach to the court cards introduced in S2E3. I cover the age, gender, and focus of the page archetype and then look at each of the four pages as an archetypal inner child. I include upright and reversed interpretations.

In this episode, I will revisit the concept of reading reversals in tarot and offer some ways to develop your reversal-reading toolkit. I discuss how reversals present an alteration or disruption of the energy of the card and how reading reversals is a process-based skill, rather than one based in memorization. I will then cover three pathways that a reversed card may present (disconnection, resistance, or release) with an example ...

In this episode, I will explore the various ways a tarot deck can have a life of its own. I will explore how to interpret "jumpers" (cards that jump out of the deck) "repeaters" (cards that keep showing up across readings) and the value of keeping a tarot journal or log. I will then tell two slightly eerie – and totally true – stories about cards that incurred damage in my tarot deck and why I started embracing damaged cards. Enjoy...

In this episode, I will work to reframe the 8, 9, and 10 of swords cards. Although the imagery on these cards is dark and ominous, I view them as invitations to feel and heal. To explain this, I will draw on concepts from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and the book 'It's Not Always Depression' by Hilary Jacobs Hendel to distinguish between inhibitory emotions and core emotions. I will then connect these conce...
