The Alacrael Tarot Podcast

In this episode, we conclude our study of the Court cards of the Tarot, taking a look at the suit of Swords. We delve into the 3 scales or spectrums on which the Court cards can be evaluated: immaturity vs. maturity, elemental associations and signs of the zodiac, and Myers-Briggs personality types. I also spend some time explaining my recent, unexpected hiatus from podcasting, and I give you an update concerning upcoming topics for the show.

In this episode, we continue with our study of the Court cards of the Tarot, taking a look at the suits of Pentacles and Wands. We delve into the 3 scales or spectrums on which the Court cards can be evaluated: immaturity vs. maturity, elemental associations and signs of the zodiac, and Myers-Briggs personality types. I also spend some time highlighting the differences in how I read certain Court cards vs. how my internet resources describe them, and I give you a little housekeeping update concerning the overall health and status of the podcast.

In this episode, we begin our study of the Court cards of the Tarot, beginning with the suit of Cups.  We discuss 3 major spectrums by which the Court cards can be evaluated: immaturity vs. maturity, elemental associations and signs of the zodiac, and Myers-Briggs personality types. We also cover the uses of significator cards and touch briefly on the evolution of gender and gender roles within the Tarot.

In this episode, we take a break from learning card meanings to review an Art Nouveau style tarot deck with plenty of gold detailing by Matt Hughes, available on amazon at the time of this recording for $21.56. If you are considering whether or not it’s time to add another deck to your collection, you’ll definitely enjoy this episode, in which I thoroughly go through each card in the deck, giving my honest first impressions and comparing the imagery in this deck to that of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith cards. Please be sure to check out my Instagram for some select images from this deck so you can get a better feel for the art style and general vibe for these cards.  Rest assured, we will be continuing our exploration of the Tarot card meanings in the next episode, where we’ll tackle the court cards. I hope you find the episode both entertaining and informative, and, as always, that you enjoy the show! Alacrael's Contact Information: Email: alacraeltarot@gmail.com Ins...

I detail my experience going 1 week without any spiritual practice--no Tarot, no spells, no conversation or reading of spiritual material--nothing. I explain my motivations for taking the break and follow it up with a description of the effects I experienced as a result.

We finish our investigation - at least, our first investigation - into the Pip cards by establishing our keywords for the suit of Swords, the other masculine suit beside the wands. I confess that Swords, for me, is the scariest suit in the Tarot deck, but also explain how their messages can be very direct and clear in addition to cutting--forgive the pun--and a little foreboding. I hope you find the episode both entertaining and informative, and that you enjoy the show!

We continue with our study of the pip cards, discussing the Wands, our first masculine suit, often associated with passion, creative energy, and fire. I point out that for me, this is the suit of leadership as well, though not necessarily of successful leadership--more on that when we get to the court cards--I hope you find the episode both entertaining and informative, and that you enjoy the show!
