Tarot in Media

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone listens to the Antifragile Tarot Podcast? I only discovered it the other day, but it's been around since 2017 or so and I must've listened to at least a dozen episodes already. The website is here: https://antifragiletarot.libsyn.com/ but it's also available on Spotify (not sure about other streaming services). The thing I really love about it is it has a queer, secular jewish witch for a host, which means the approach taken is intersectional, progressive, inclusive, and sensible. She does talk about her magickal practice a bit, but there's plenty of focus on tarot too, and some very frank advice on contentious issu…

In another thread a member suggested to me that I use an app to read Tarot while I live at my parents since they don't allow the cards in their house. I started looking up various apps and kept seeing "AI Tarot reader" And suddenly I wasn't sure if this was a good idea anymore lol. Now I will admit, I am a lot more weary of AI or.. distrusting of it than most people are, and I could absolutely be paranoid. But whether or not AI is good, bad, neutral, it still kind of makes me question like... what makes the right cards come out of a deck? And are we sure a computer app can accurately do the same thing? A lot of people won't let others touch their Tarot decks so tha…

Tarot Is Trending, and Dior Predicted This Months Ago, by Breena Kerr https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/style/tarot-cards-dior.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Ffashion&action=click&contentCollection=fashion&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=5&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0

I was doing some Googling on Oprah Winfrey the other day and was very surprised to find she is or was selling tarot cards on one of her sites. I do not think that this is a good thing for us tarot people to have Oprah's name involved with the tarot community. The following is just my opinion of new-age guru Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has been behind so many new age scams it's not funny. I'll list them for you. The first one is called A Course In Miracles and I remember in her early tv days she had guest and ACIM teacher Marianne Williamson. Basically, ACIM is a "channeled" teaching of Jesus which talks about love, undoing and oth…

Hey all! I recently started listening to "The Anti-fragile tarot podcast" on Spotify, and I'm really enjoying it! I wanted to know if anyone had any more recommendations for youtube series or podcasts that have to do with tarot and/or the occult?

Nice article in the Sunday Observer today about Tarot's recent come back! it's here - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/aug/19/new-generation-follows-pack-tarot-makes-comeback There have been several articles this year about how popular the esoteric arts are with the younger generation, sales of tarot and also astrology products are at some of their highest! I definitely think the whole area is having a resurgence! I am not sure tarot ever went away but it does seem popular right now :) There are some nice interviews with people who use tarot and also deck creators in the article, it was pretty well done in my opinion. RWS is selling 3 times as muc…

Hello everyone, I am looking for books that are not tarot books that would be of interest to people who read the tarot for others. For example, I found a free PDF download of the book The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes online (just search around a bit and you'll find it). Its philosophy rings true with me and jives with the tarot (lots of soundbites I can use). I am not interested in Law of Attraction stuff. Thanks for reading this. Rick-

Yesterday Peter and me watched an episode of "Vintage Tec Hunters" on TV. This time 2 guys were checking out a vast museum of penny arcade games. Among these they briefly showed an elaborate oak cabinet with an animated Gypsy fortune teller dispersing her wisdom gleaned from a set of extra large Thoth cards. It was too short to get the camera out and get a picture, but on the net I found, that there were quite a few suck machines in circulation! Some pictures are shown as well, many with different cards put out before the "fortune teller, some even showing a Celtic cross. Quote: Estrella's Prophecies Fortune Teller - A coin-operat…

I like this article about Princess Mary from Denmark. Unfortunately the cards are not mentioned. Any idea which cards it could have been? Here is the article link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5060063/Princess-Mary-tarot-card-reader-predicted-royal-future.html

I decided to delete this post, but I see it can't be deleted except by a moderator. So I edited it out instead.

I don't know if any of you are aware of the game site "pogo.com" ... but one of the many games they have are hidden item games based (loosely) on the Sherlock Holmes stories by Doyle. I was playing one based on the story of "The Red-headed League" and noticed that Holmes has a Tarot deck in his study! It appears to be a TdM style deck ...

I read A LOT. Paperback and Kindle etc. Fun tip: sign up for Everand at $11.99/month to get unlimited ebooks/podcasts/magazines/ etc. They have tons of tarot books. Anyway, currently I am read two amazing books that are both now my new favorites. I thought it would be fun for everyone to recommend their favorite tarot book(s) so we can add them to our reading list 😊📚 Currently reading/my new favorites: -Holistic Tarot by Benebell Wen (over 800 pages. All tarot info/correspondences/possible uses you could think of and a great reference book to add to your collection) -Will You Give Me a Reading? By Jenna Matlin (no card interpretations or beginner …

I had an unexpected opportunity to buy some divination books and this was one of them. The work is focused on The Egyptian Tarot and derived from The Sacred Tarot by C.C. Zain. I’d love to hear from those of you that have studied either of these books and if you’ve used the card deck. Is it best to use the black and white version (available on PrintStudio) or the new version of the deck that is colored?

(Forgive me if this doesn't belong in the Tarot in Media section (this almost feels like... Media in Tarot!)) I recently did an interview with my deck and started to understand a lot more about the personality I was working with! I was thinking... "Gosh, these traits remind me of someone... or some kind of... character archetype" and then I realized that I was thinking of characters like Mr Tumnus from the Narnia books and Dobby from Harry Potter. Obviously, I didn't marry these characters to the deck, but seeing a visual for the traits of earnest, wholesome, wanting to do well, believing in others, helpful, kindhearted, and a little self criticizing, that I f…

I came across this video ---its' the new Dior 2021 spring collection and it is inspired by the Major Arcana! Looks beautiful as is to be expected! It's January but I hadn't seen it being posted here before so thought I'd share 🙂 - Ashtoreth

While I'm at work or doing chores/crafts at home, I love to listen to podcasts for some good old fashioned edutainment. I've been poking around and haven't seen much on the topic-- does anyone else listen to podcasts? I'd very much like to get into some tarot-focused ones to listen to and learn with.

These are some fun,leisurely old-radio-broadcast-style shows. I like to listen to them when I'm puttering around the kitchen. I'll just post a couple of links here and let the people who are interested do what I do - wander the huge backlog of broadcasts and click into what you will. 😎 Here's one with Madame Nadia, one of my favorite readers http://www.blogtalkradio.com/luckymojohoodoorootworkhour/2015/05/17/lucky-mojo-hoodoo-rootwork-hour-rebroadcast-madame-nadia-on-divination-51715 Jon St. Germain's Crystal Silence League Hour has a whole series of Tarot broadcasts. They start with this one, the Fool, and go from there: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/misclmcrad…

I found out that TarotOracle is back on his YouTube channel. He has really interesting insights in Tarot, and interesting reading techniques and also courses. You can even find his free eBook there. You can find him on: https://www.youtube.com/user/TarotOracle/featured

Mine came a couple of days ago, and I am impressed. Lots of information about Kabbalah and astrology, beautiful production. Has anyone else gotten it yet? What do you think?

I've listened to a few interviews with her and was thinking about getting her book, and was wondering if people here would recommend it?
