For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Episode 122: Only The Three of Swords Knows Such Grief 27:04

5 days ago27:04

27:04

Good grief, we’re at the three of Swords. We have a floating heart in the middle of a rainstorm on the image in the Smith Waite deck. It’s being pierced with three swords. It’s a bleak card of heartbreak and emotion; many of us hate seeing this card and giving the hard news to clients. Like The Tower card, this card is striking. It’s one of the most emotional cards in a suit that lends itself to air, communication, and braininess. Homework: Uncertainty is hard, and the sword's resources lead to good communication. Where do you carry your swords in your heart, and how can you safely pull them out to bring joy back into your world? Decks Mentioned Melissa: Prairie Tarot by Robin Atot Jaymi: Wisdom of Pooh , first edition Rue and Vervain (link takes you to all the Wisdom of Pooh offerings) Hilary: Fountain Tarot by Jonathan Saiz , Jason Gruhl, and Andi Todaro Resources Mentioned Heart of Glass by Blondie French Kiss (the movie) World Gone Wrong Podcast Episode 103-Why does your Dad know so much about body-snatchers This is where Jaymi got her use of baseline versus being “just okay.” They discuss this around the 15:10 mark. However, Jaymi recommends the whole series because it’s just fun. Do you like what you hear? Send feedback to us at cardslingerscc@gmail.com.

This episode was recorded live in front of a YouTube audience. Friendship is magical and powerful. We can give and receive hope from those we care about. It’s time to build community and keep the energy flowing equally. Hilary calls it the girl power card, and often, the reverse side relates it back to gossip.

Episode 120: Fanny Pack Snacks with the Three of Wands 32:09

32:09

We’re kicking off the minor threes with OUR favorite, the wands. In the Waite Smith deck, a figure looks over the water to see the ships. And apparently, they have a fanny pack (and jaymi says it’s full of snacks). Hilary looks at the card and sees it as a stepping stone moment. Look out to the horizon (big picture) and yet take care of details. Melissa says we can’t do this alone. There’s teamwork between this figure (Kevin) and the ships in the water. Jaymi says it’s time to put the plan into motion and ensure you have enough energy to carry it through. Homework: Make your friendship bracelets. Grab a fanny pack and fill it with your favorite snacks to enjoy by the campfire. We slingers are hungry. Is anyone else hungry for snacks now? Deck’s Mentioned Jaymi: Deviant Moon Tarot (mini edition) by Patrick Valenzia , (Link goes to the large, borderless tarot); snacks are chocolate cake donuts or Sea Salt Mochi Rice Bites .

SPOILER ALERT ONE: Please, DO NOT LISTEN to this episode if you have not watched the entire Season 1 of AGATHA ALL ALONG. We spoil everything: tarot, witchcraft, and the MCU.

Jaymi recommends an extended “break” to enjoy this nerdy chat fully. Do some laundry, take an extra long walk (if you can), or do a deep clean of your house before listening. 😀 *** With the Spoiler Alerts out of the way, welcome to a long one. Enjoy this whole audio nerd-out experience of The Cardslingers discussing the 9-episode run of Agatha All Along. Grab a mug and settle in. For each episode, we discuss divination, magical points, and connections to the MCU. Then, we break down the cards and positions in the tarot community’s famous Episode 7, where we watch three readings being done and represented correctly. Homework: Watch Agatha All Along (again) and try the Safe Passages spread for yourself. Let us know how it went!

20:50

We made it to the end of 2024! As a nice wrap-up to our deep dive into the Twos that finished last year (teehee) and to honor the year ahead, we’re getting readings with the Twos. The magic of the twos is about finding balance within yourself during every stage of life. Melissa showcases how to read with the Aces, the Twos, the Fool, the Magician, and the High Priestess, proving that you can do readings with a small pack of 11 cards. She also gives Jaymi and Hilary suggestions for spells to honor the reading. Melissa, as usual, reads us to filth using very few cards. Homework: Shuffle your deck and draw cards until you reach the Fool. The card before The Fool is where you came from, and the card behind The Fool may tell you where you’re going or what needs to happen next! See you all next year!

29:03

Welcome back to the “every card in the deck” series. We’re back with the Two of Pentacles. Another stage card, this time, it’s all about physical balance. In the realm of the pentacles, this is all about work, home life, and finances. It’s difficult to be two people simultaneously; we’ll never be a whole person. Be kind to others because we never know what invisible things everyone is going through. We also get into a bit of the work around reading at events.

Welcome back to the “every card in the deck” series. We’re back with the Two of Swords, which happens to be a stage card.

Melissa, Hilary, and Jaymi revisit the world of boundaries. Melissa reminds us that the definition of a boundary is “Rules and guidelines we set in our personal guidelines.” There are real, tangible benefits to having boundaries and enforcing them. You need to feel comfortable and safe first, and then you can worry about others. Boundaries also affect our client relationships. Hilary expands on client discernment and how it ties into relationship and boundary setting. And Jaymi reminds everyone about how hard enforcing boundaries can be.

Episode102: Not Even Once, Ace of Wands 18:36

42 weeks ago18:36

18:36

Aces are the first step of each minor suit. In this case, we relate the wands to the element of fire and a season. It can be the idealized focus for Wands. It’s the ember of the fire seen in the suit. It’s a spark of the idea or connection. They help focus the potential energy into focus.

Episode 101: Intro to the Minors 26:19

45 weeks ago26:19

26:19

Welcome back to the cards. Hilary, Lis, and Jaymi kick off the minors. We see the minors as the day-to-day nitty-gritty items of our lives. These cards are broken down into two aspects: the numbered cards and the court cards. There are four suits to the 56 cards. Each one has its association with an element that relates to one of the four elements: air (swords), fire (wands), cups (water), and earth (pentacles/discs/coins). We’re going to reveal the numbers as a whole. So you’ll get four episodes detailing the aces, the twos, etc., and then we’ll give a wrap-up. We’ll begin with the Ace of Wands starting next month! Homework: Separate your deck into majors and minors. Look at the minor arcana and see what comes up. Then, do a reading with the minors and a majors-only reading to see how each reading deals with the same topic. Resources Mentioned 36 Secrets by T.
