Episode 298 - Shadow Seer Tarot with Maja D’Aoust
In a culture obsessed with positivity, Shadow Seer Tarot (Destiny Books, April 7 2026) dares to look where most spiritual tools won’t: into the hidden, uncomfortable, and often disowned parts of ourselves. Created by occult scholar and professional tarot reader Maja D’Aoust, this striking new tarot deck and guidebook reframes divination as a tool for radical self-awareness and psychological truth.Designed specifically for shadow work, Shadow Seer Tarot introduces “darchetypes” which are the inverted, shadow expressions of traditional tarot archetypes. Drawing on Hermetic philosophy and alchemical principles, D’Aoust explores how oppositional forces shape our inner lives, revealing the behaviors, patterns, and beliefs we often suppress or deny. The result is a deck that doesn’t gloss over difficulty, but uses it as a gateway to insight, healing, and wholeness.The Major Arcana expose the shadow side of familiar archetypes, while the Minor Arcana confront real-world dysfunction head-on. The Suit of Cups includes cards such as Toxic Family, Addiction, and Betrayal; the Suit of Wands reveals distorted ambition and desire through cards like Propaganda, Slander, The False Martyr, and The Avoidant. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and the symbolic underworld, Shadow Seer Tarot invites readers to move beyond surface-level readings and confront what is hidden in plain sight.

Episode 297 - Ancient Spells and Incantations with Enid Baxter Ryce
Each page of Ancient Spells and Incantations holds verses adapted from text unearthed through extensive research—grimoires, letters, and trial transcripts from across the ages and around the world. Many of these were tucked away in university libraries not easily accessible even to one actively in search of them. Enid Baxter Ryce painstakingly researched this collection, finding fragments from across the centuries.Translating some from Latin and Old English herself, Enid has made the spells accessible to today’s witches. What was once whispered or chanted, spiraling in cursive, or carved in stone, still echoes like a song. The words that survived connect us to that ancient magic, and we can feel the truth and power.As we marvel at these ancient magical words, we think of our ancestors. Thanks to them, scraps of papyrus, shards of pottery, secret books, and hissed recipes can, hundreds of years later, still show themselves to those who seek them.Find the book and Enid:Website: https://enidryce.com/Social Media: @enidryce on social mediaShops: https://enidryce.com/store-1Pre-Order Ancient Spells and Incantations: https://bookshop.org/p/books/ancient-spells-and-incantations-echoes-of-magic-through-the-ages-and-across-cultures-enid-baxter-ryce/04275e35fceb231a or anywhere books are sold!Enid Baxter Ryce is a writer, artist, and filmmaker who has exhibited at museums internationally, including the National Gallery of Art, the Getty, and the Arnolfini.

Episode 296 - The Left-Hand Path of Tarot with Cherry Parra
Today I'm joined by author Cherry Parra to chat all about a different side of tarot.The Left-Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalized, the nonconforming, and all who live on the fringes of what society labels as “civilized,” “acceptable,” or “canon.” Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetization, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense.The Left-Hand Path of Tarot suggests a paradigm shift for tarot archetypes that goes beyond classic interpretation of the major arcana. It’s the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.Find the book and Cherry:The Left-Hand Path of Tarot: https://amzn.to/4aLeWvwInstagram: @cherryred_tarotPatreon: patreon.com/cherry_parraCherry Parra is a Mexican left-hand path witch residing in Mexico. She majored in Hispanic literature and has an innate and inherited connection to the occult practices—Parra’s magic stems from a matriarchal lineage of healers. Her great-grandmother was a witch, a curandera (traditional folk healer) from Oaxaca in southern Mexico, who people in the community would turn to when they needed healing in matters of the body and spirit. Cherry’s life mission is to shine a light on the uncomfortable truths most people like to ignore. The shadows are her second home and greatest teachers. Cherry lives and maintains a closed spiritual practice in Mexico from where she reads tarot for a select international clientele that includes artists, creatives, and visionaries.
