Today we’re celebrating the New Year and doing a 2026 spread together!
Overall Messages for 2026
You can do anything, and you have to celebrate your wins along the way
It’s more than okay to ask for help, it’s necessary to work together
We can achieve more together than we ever can apart
Take risks, see what happens
Continue to commit to yourself, everyday
Celebrate yourself and your achievements
The path is laid out in front of you, now we just have to follow it and see where it goes
To avoid any confusion- Last episode I pulled my own 6 cards to inform the tarot spread prompts for 2026. Today I am doing my own tarot spread and you can follow along or you can go ahead and pull your own cards related to the prompts I created.
Prompts:
Where is your intuition leading you? Where should you throw caution to the wind?
7 of Cactus (Pentacles)
You’re doing great
Keep doing it
Follow the path laid out in front of you
Don’t worry about it, things will come at the right time
What is your greatest strength? How can you incorporate that this year?
Seven of Jugs (Cups) Reversed
Adaptability, flexibility as our strength
And fuck around and found out
It’s okay to not make a plan
You trust yourself to be consistent and show up, and we surrender to the process
We’re open to what opportunities and challenges will come this year
How are you going to be intentional with your relationships this year?
Six of Daggers (Cups) Reversed
It’s okay to let hard relationships go
Think of a recent relationship that showed its true colors, and take it at face value
We’re evolving/transforming and we can’t carry all that baggage with us forever
What gift can you give yourself?
Knight of Daggers (Swords) Reversed
It’s time to follow through on your passions
Don’t be afraid of failure, really there is no such thing as failure, there is trying and getting rejected, or trying and succeeding. But failure is about learning and boundaries, and risk.
This card also says, take the risks, see what happens
Where are you putting more effort into something than you’re getting back?
Three of Cactus (Pentacles)
Collaborate
Things might get easier if you split the work
You never know what could happen if you work together, the possibilities are endless
How are you fostering your relationship with yourself?
Nine of Cactus (Pentacles) Reversed
Celebrate your achievements
Make time to take care of yourself and your relationship with yourself
No one else is going to do it for you, you’re the only one that can show up for yourself in that way
Continue to challenge yourself in different ways to see what you can do

Today I’m reviewing my 2025 5-card spread I laid out on episode 1 of this podcast back on January 1, 2025!
To avoid any confusion- I pulled my own 5 cards to inform the tarot spread prompts for you. And for this episode I'm reviewing the cards I pulled and what that looked like over 2025.
All of the cards I pulled originally are in reverse, interesting. I usedThe Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine. Created by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu
The first card I pulled is The Hanged One- Reversed. This deck reimagines some of the cards to be more feminine or gender neutral so this is the card usually known as The Hanged Man.
The second card I pulled is the 10 of Pentacles Reversed. 10s are usually about completion of a cycle. The image on this card is very circular.
The third card I pulled is the Witch of Swords Reversed. This is another card that is reimagined and is usually called The Knight of Swords.
The fourth card I pulled is The Enchantress Reversed. This is another reimagined card and is usually known as The Magician. This is considered the first card of the major arcana with The Fool being considered the 0 card. Since this card is so close to The Fool it’s energy overlaps with it. This card asks you to let go of your ego.
The fifth and final card I pulled today was the 5 of Wands Reversed. Wands are activation energy. In this deck they often come across as erotic energy or the energy of orgasm. Something intense is happening here. You need to learn to look at the larger vision and lay out the path ahead of you before taking action.

I am launching my course Sacred Desire on January 21st.
I’m finally launching the beta version and I’m looking for 3-5 women to be my founding members and really give me feedback and co-create it with me. It’s a death/rebirth journey where we go into the underworld, release the barriers that hold us back from pleasure, reclaim desire, and then rise together in sisterhood and power.
I have a waitlist for people to sign up that has all the info about the course and when they sign up for the waitlist they get my Free Sacred Body Workbook and a Free 45 minute desire discovery call with me where we can talk about their personal barriers to desire and help them decide if this course is right for them. They will then be invited to put down a $50 deposit to secure their spot in the circle.

I realized that over the years, my decks have become like companions—each with its own voice, mood, and way of speaking to me. So this season is all about introducing you to the decks I love, the ones I rely on, and the ones that have shaped my tarot practice.
If you're curious about how to choose decks or how to deepen your relationship with the ones you already have, this is the perfect place to start.

In this episode, I’m talking about the Norse Goddess Rune Oracle, created by Rebecca Joyce Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod—a deck rooted in rune wisdom, divine feminine power, and Northern mythic storytelling.
This is one of my newer decks, and the way I tend to learn a new deck is simple: I use it. Constantly. I pull cards for myself. I pull cards for the podcast. I live with it long enough that it starts to reveal what it’s actually good at—and what it isn’t trying to be.My Story with This Deck
I found this deck at the Haunted Farmer’s Market in South Tacoma, which honestly feels like exactly the correct place to meet a deck like this. It has that “I found this in a liminal space on purpose” energy.
I’ve also been in a phase lately where I’m really drawn to decks that teach me something—decks with their own structure, their own cultural roots, their own lore. And this one doesn’t just give you a message. It gives you a whole world.
Style:
Visually, this deck is striking—bold and dramatic without being chaotic. It’s matte, thick, and substantial in the hands.
The edges are painted red, as a nod to the practice of “blooding” the runes—an old method of activating runes through blood as an offering and an infusion of power. It has its own complete divination system built around the Elder Futhark runes, with a Norse goddess assigned to each rune.
Structure:
What I love about the structure is that it’s a complete divination system without trying to “tarot-ify” itself. It stays faithful to runic wisdom, but still gives you a deck format you can shuffle, spread, and read.
This is an oracle deck and it’s built around Elder Futhark runes and Norse goddess archetypes.
There are 39 cards total:
cards for the runes themselves
plus cards for the Merkstave (the “dark staff” meanings—alternate/reversed rune meanings), which are included as their own separate cards to remove ambiguity
If you don’t use Merkstave meanings, you can literally remove those cards and work with only the upright rune set.
Imagery:
On the front, the background feels like muted wood or carved texture—so your eye goes straight to the goddess imagery. Each card tends to show the goddess plus key symbols from her story, with the rune embedded into the visual field, so you’re learning the rune through repetition.
What I use it for:
I love using this in conversation with others, especially people who enjoy mythology, archetypes, witchcraft, or spiritual storytelling. It gives you so much to work with.
I reach for this deck when I want:
a reading that feels mythic and archetypal
guidance that’s direct
a divination tool that feels seasonal
something that connects me to divine feminine power
What I don’t use it for:
This deck is powerful, but it asks you to engage. It rewards attention. And it’s not a “pull one card and move on” kind of deck—unless you’re okay with being haunted by the card all day (which I often am).
I don’t usually reach for this deck when:
someone wants the familiar Rider–Waite–Smith structure
someone is brand new to divination
I need a very practical, straightforward “daily logistics” kind of answer
Someone doesn’t want mythology, unfamiliar names, or a guidebook-heavy experience
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod, I pulled the Hagalaz | Hel: Chaos, Destruction, Renewal (Upright).
If things feel like they’re falling apart, it may be because something is being cleared. Not to punish you, but to realign you.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Which color feels restorative to me right now?
Where could I invite this hue into my day (body, space, altar)?
How can I simplify my magic to make it sustainable and joyful?

In this episode, I’m talking about a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, plant magic, and earth-based practice: The Herbcrafter’s Tarot, written by Latisha Guthrie with artwork by Joanna Powell Colbert. This deck doesn’t just show you plants, it invites you into a whole world of herb-craft, kitchen witchery, and ancestral plant relationships.
My Story with This Deck
This deck has been on my radar for a long time.
Back in Season 11: Tarot and Plant Allies, I didn’t yet own a botanical tarot deck. I was constantly looking up plant correspondences online, and the Herbcrafter’s Tarot kept popping up in my research. I found myself returning to its imagery over and over as I prepared those episodes.
I’d been searching for a plant-based tarot deck for years, but most of the ones I found either didn’t name the plants clearly or didn’t quite click with how I like to work. After leaning so heavily on Herbcrafter’s imagery for that season, I finally took the hint and bought the deck as a gift to myself.
Style:
This is a traditional tarot deck, but translated through an herbalist’s worldview. The vibe feels like standing in a kitchen with herbs hanging from the rafters, tea simmering, and baskets piled with plants from the garden.
Structure:
The Herbcrafter’s Tarot follows the Rider–Waite–Smith structure in terms of card count, but it reimagines the suits and court cards through an herbal lens.
Instead of the traditional suit names, the deck uses the elements:
Air (Swords)
Fire (Wands)
Water (Cups)
Earth (Pentacles)
The guidebook also adds an extra layer that makes this deck feel like a full practice: each card has a short mantra-style line, an image description, a message, and crafting suggestions—ways to actually work with the plant through syrup, oxymel, jelly, teas, bath blends, or other forms of herb-craft.
Imagery:
The imagery is one of my favorite parts of this deck, because it doesn’t just show a plant floating in space. Sometimes the plant is wild in its natural environment. Sometimes it’s been harvested and laid out beside jars, spoons, bowls, candles, or baskets. Sometimes it’s shown as food or medicine. Every card gives you options for how to actually work with the plant—something you can make, infuse, steep, craft, or ritualize.
What I use it for:
I reach for this deck when:
plant ally work and earth-based spiritual practice
readings that focus on healing, nourishment, and slow transformation
situations where I want the next step to be tangible (something I can craft, brew, cook, or tend)
learning herbs through tarot, or learning tarot through herbs
ritual-based reflection—pulling a card and letting it become a week-long practice
What I don’t use it for:
I don’t reach for this deck when:
someone wants classic Rider–Waite–Smith imagery with people and familiar tarot scenes
a querent wants something very “straightforward tarot” without botanical symbolism
someone feels disconnected from plants, cooking, crafting, or nature-based metaphor
someone is from a context where these plants feel unfamiliar, and they want symbolism that’s more culturally immediate for them

Today, I’m talking about something a little different from tarot and oracle: It's Grow Time Deck by Chantel Davis Gray. This is a 48-card affirmation deck created specifically for do-good, feel-good business owners—and honestly, it’s one of the most practical decks in my collection.
My Story with This Deck
I got this deck directly from Chantel during its early launch, and what made it extra special is that I already knew Chantel through some shared community connections. We had done a virtual coffee date, and I later invited them onto the podcast, so this deck feels very relational for me.
What I love most is that this is Chantel’s first deck, and it was created from their own lived experience as a designer and business owner who supports other heart-centered entrepreneurs. It doesn’t feel generic or overly spiritualized—it feels grounded in real-life business rhythms, burnout, growth, fear, joy, and momentum.
Since getting it, I’ve used it in my own business planning, in group settings with other business owners, and even as a gift for fellow entrepreneurs who also love tarot and oracle. It’s one of those decks that just fits into real life.
Unlike tarot or most oracle systems, these categories are intentionally separated. It’s warm, friendly, motivational, and realistic in a way many oracle decks aren’t. The tone is compassionate but not fluffy. Every card either helps you feel good or do good, and both sides support sustainable business growth.
Style:
This is an affirmation and action deck, not tarot and not a traditional oracle. The energy is supportive, practical, encouraging, and grounded in everyday business realities. It’s about momentum, self-trust, care, and sustainability—not hustle at all costs.
Structure:
The deck has 48 cards, split into two types: Feel Good cards (affirmations) and Do Good cards (gentle action prompts). You can use them together or separately.
Imagery:
The aesthetic is bold, clean, and fun—hot pink, black, white text, and simple graphic symbols. It feels modern, playful, and affirming without being overly busy or symbolic.
The backs of the cards alternate between:
Three hearts + “Feel Good”
Three stars + “Do Good”
The front of the cards is either:
Pink for Feel Good
Black for Do Good
What I use it for:
This is a beautiful deck to bring into community spaces—retreats, coworking sessions, networking events, or even tabling at business-focused gatherings. It’s approachable, supportive, and easy for people who may be intimidated by tarot.
It's one of my favorite decks to use when I’m:
navigating business overwhelm
feeling stuck or discouraged
planning my next steps
running group gatherings with other business owners
doing quarterly or seasonal business reflection
hosting networking or creative planning sessions
What I don’t use it for:
This deck is intentionally niche—it’s made for business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs. If someone is not connected to business or creative work, some of the prompts may not feel as relevant, though many are still universally affirming.
I don’t reach for this deck when:
someone wants a traditional tarot reading
the question is deeply emotional, spiritual, or shadow-focused
I’m working with complex spreads or layered symbolism
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From It’s Grow Time deck by Chantelle Davis-Gray, I pulled Do Good: “Schedule a virtual coffee or tea chat.”
This card is an invitation into connection, momentum, and relational nourishment. It's a reminder that growth doesn’t have to happen alone.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Who have I been thinking about lately but haven’t reached out to?
What kind of support or connection would feel nourishing right now?
Where might collaboration or shared energy help me move forward?

Today, I’m talking about The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fenn Inkwright — an oracle-meets-storytelling deck built around a walled city, its people, and the roles they play. It’s part divination tool, part worldbuilding engine, and part love letter to fantasy and tabletop role-playing games.
My Story with This Deck
I found this deck while I was traveling, and I wasn’t even looking for an oracle deck at the time. I had gone into a bookstore hoping to find something botanical or nature-based, and instead, this deck practically insisted on being seen. The imagery stopped me in my tracks.
At first glance, it felt theatrical. Dramatic. Heavy with story. And once I learned that the entire deck was structured around a walled city—the Citadel—made up of different social roles and districts, I was fully hooked.
What surprised me most was that this deck didn’t feel soothing. It felt activating. Challenging even! Like it wanted to show me who I was becoming, beyond what I was feeling at the moment.
The Citadel is an oracle deck with a strong narrative flavor. The deck blends the energy of role-playing games, fantasy fiction, and divination.
Style:
Each card represents a role or archetype within the city. Instead of traditional tarot minors and majors, you’re stepping into a living setting: a fantasy citadel with its own politics, social structures, and tensions.
The cards themselves are visually striking: black backgrounds, rich red linework, and metallic foil details (more copper-gold than bright yellow). The corners of each card are cut off, which sounds small but makes the deck feel distinct in the hand and surprisingly satisfying to shuffle.
Structure:
This is an oracle deck, not a tarot deck—but it still has a clear internal structure. The city of The Citadel is built in four concentric districts, each represented by a suit:
The Court is the heart of power, leadership, completion, and responsibility.
The Academy holds learning, innovation, and inner development.
The Crowd represents labor, community, family, and survival.
The Troop moves around—artists, travelers, performers, and those who live between identities.
Imagery:
The imagery focuses more on symbolic scenes and hands than on detailed faces. This creates a feeling that you’re looking at illuminated panels from a fantasy codex or in-game artifact rather than a traditional oracle. The vibe is theatrical, slightly dramatic, and very immersive.
What I use it for:
I want a story-driven reading
I’m exploring identity, roles, power, or community
Someone I’m reading for is into D&D, RPGs, gaming, or fantasy
I want to pull a single archetype to flavor a tarot spread
I’m doing creative or narrative work
Because it includes upright and reversed meanings, I also like using it as a standalone oracle for deeper reflection.
What I don’t use it for:
This is not a soothing deck—it’s a catalytic one, working with roles, friction, becoming, and consequence. I don’t usually reach for this deck when:
someone wants a classic tarot reading
the question is very practical or yes/no
a person feels overwhelmed by symbolic complexity
they want soft, emotional, or gentle imagery
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Miser (Reversed)
The Ten of Wands reminds us that even magic can become heavy if we overcommit. Color Magic doesn’t need to be elaborate or exhausting. Let it be a gentle, sensory ritual that supports rather than overwhelms.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where am I holding too tightly out of fear?
What would shift if I softened my grip?
Where does control feel like protection where does it feel like a burden?

Today’s episode explores the bold, neon-soaked magic of the Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsey D'Amour Williams—a Rider–Waite–Smith–based deck infused with Southwestern desert energy, historical figures, cactus medicine, and yes… aliens!
My Story with This Deck
I found this deck at Crescent Moon Gifts in University Place, Washington, after one of my tarot socials. I was looking for something new, and this one immediately stood out—bright colors, bold lines, and a vibe that felt both mystical and mischievous.
At first glance, I didn’t even notice the aliens. I was drawn in by the desert imagery, the cactus symbolism, and the intense psychedelic color palette. Then, when I got it home, I started working with it and realized just how layered and strange it really is—in the best way!
It quickly became one of my go-to “bright energy” decks when I want something that still reads cleanly with Rider–Waite–Smith structure, but doesn’t take itself too seriously.
This deck is vibrant, weird, and energetic. It’s playful without being shallow, grounded without being heavy. It carries a sense of humor, possibility, and movement that makes readings feel lively rather than solemn.
Style:
This deck is bold, psychedelic, and deeply rooted in Southwestern desert mythology. The color palette is electric—neon pinks, turquoise, lime green, and glowing gold dominate the artwork. Aliens, desert mesas, peyote-like cactus imagery, and surreal spiritual motifs give the deck a playful, high-strangeness feel that still holds real depth. It feels rebellious, magical, and chaotically alive.
Structure:
The Desert Illuminations Tarot is rooted in the Rider–Waite–Smith system, but reinterprets the symbols through the land, myth, and culture of the Southwestern United States. It stays structurally close to traditional tarot, but the suit names are transformed to reflect desert culture and elemental energy:
Pentacles - Cactus
Wands - Chilies
Swords - Daggers
Cups - Mystic Jugs
The deck includes a detailed guidebook (codex) with full interpretations, sample spreads, and a special Cactus Spread unique to this deck.
Imagery:
The cards are saturated with movement, heat, and surreal symbolism. Everything glows. Psychedelic skies, radiant desert plants, neon spirits, cowboys, and cosmic imagery blend in a way that feels both ancient and futuristic. The art is loud in the best way—impossible to ignore and rich with visual metaphor.
What I use it for:
It’s especially great for creative questions, personal growth, and moments when someone needs encouragement without emotional heaviness.
What I don’t use it for:
I usually don’t reach for this deck when:
the question is emotionally heavy or tender
someone needs very soft, gentle imagery
a quiet, grounding tone is required
a client prefers classic, muted traditional deck
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams , I pulled the Nine of Jugs (Reversed).
This reversal reminds us that fulfillment isn’t only something waiting at the finish line. Sometimes it’s already here, but only if we allow ourselves to acknowledge it.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where am I minimizing my own accomplishments?
What joy have I postponed until “everything is finished”?
What would it look like to celebrate right now, even imperfectly?
What abundance is already present that I’m not fully acknowledging?
