On today's episode, I explore my relationship to boundaries and compartmentalization. I take a look at my history with dividing the world into categories, my professional experience as a mental health counselor and how I used boundaries as self-care, and share about the Temperance card, which is all about de-compartmentalizing parts of the self to make and share a whole being. But what does that look like in today's context, with social media, business branding, and online safety (both physical and emotional?).

Episode 25: Season 1 Finale Conversation with Courtney Putnam

In this episode, I explore my relationship to The Empress card, which is line one in the Major Arcana. The Empress is traditionally seen as a mother figure, and in my class I learned that we can look at it as one that is receptive. I share about my feelings around receptivity, and share a personal story of a friend who is dying from cancer, and how The Empress is showing up in her life.

Episode 26: The Empress as Receptivity

On this episode, I talk about how my birth year (The Hermit) shows up in my life, going way back to some of my earliest memories. I share about taking a break from podcasting this fall aligning with The Hermit, and then muse about how to figure out a year card. Am I gonna have a Magician, Wheel of Fortune, or Sun year coming up? What do you think? Connect with me: www.instagram.com/leorisingtarot/ Book a reading: www.leorisingtarot.com

Episode 27: Birth Card & Year Card, Numerology & Tarot

I go on a ramble about my experience as a witch who attends church. I'ts not meant to be prescriptive, and does not dive deeply into the historical experience of the church's persecution of witches throughout the years. This is only my personal experience in this moment.
