  • Infectious

    Susie’s enthusiasm is infectious. She has gathered some of the biggest tarot names for our benefit to tell us things we didn’t know we needed to know. I am learning so much and I’m a semi experienced reader. My only quibble is, I can’t wait for an episode for a week. I want them every day. Also her voice and energy makes a day a bit brighter, especially if you are having a bad one already. Not sure if that’s Susie or Tarot or both, but I’m not questioning it. Thank you, Susie!

  • Literally Extraordinary

    As a student of the tarot, and of Susie’s, I want to express my gratitude for this podcast, for many reasons; most particularly, for the array of guests interviewed. I just listened to the rare discussion with the creators of the Motherpeace deck, who really gave for with wisdom. Their take on reversals is gold.

    While I don’t believe that the existence of a worldwide ancient prehistoric matriarchy is a given anymore, as some folks came to believe during and after the 1970s, the theory has certa... more

  • A podcast that is worth your time

    Susie is one of the leading contemporary luminaries in teaching tarot. While she’s probably best known for her more specialist expertise linking back to the roots of contemporary English speaking tarot, she manages to share her knowledge in a way that is always approachable as well as fun, and extends the practical application of tarot in the real world. Her name is one I list beside Eden, Pollack and Greer for the breadth of her contribution to the literature and learning in this field.

  • Highlight of my week

    I really enjoy this podcast, especially the thoughtful conversations with interesting guests. I do share the other reviewer’s criticism of AI, and I hope if it is covered in the future there can be some awareness of its harms and risks. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge Susan!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 59: "Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions" at the Morgan Library
Q: How did Tarot transition from a game to a tool used for divination or parlor entertainment?
Over time, divinatory associations grew, especially with the rise of occult revival in the 18th-19th centuries, Egyptian/theosophical theories, and scholarly reinterpretations that framed the cards as a structured language of fate and the cosmos.
Episode 56: Tarot Museum Belgium
Q: Can you give an example of how to use tarot in a practical situation?
Guido explains using the Magician card as a metaphor for having all elements on the table in daily life, like in a kitchen where a person can combine items to create something new, encouraging students to experiment and 'play' with the cards rather than fixate on fixed meanings.
Episode 56: Tarot Museum Belgium
Q: What was his teaching style and how did Hans Wesseling influence him?
Guido describes Hans Wesseling as controversial but deeply knowledgeable about Golden Dawn and related traditions; Wesseling taught through a broader, philosophical approach rather than rote rules, emphasizing thinking differently and seeing the tarot as a path to self-consciousness; Guido learned to integrate multiple decks and esoteric ideas rather than following a single dogma.
Episode 56: Tarot Museum Belgium
Q: When did you first see a tarot deck as a young person?
He recalls seeing a deck in 1979 and becoming involved in an esoteric circle that offered tarot lessons, which were scarce and often hidden due to Catholic conservatism in Belgium.
Episode 49: How to Read the Tarot de Marseille, with Sherryl Smith
Q: Would you say that your way of reading the Tarot de Marseille is typical for Tarot de Marseille readers or do you think that it's idiosyncratic?
She suggests that her approach is fairly typical among American TDM readers, sharing beginner tips, and emphasizes personal resonance with the cards over strict keywords.
