Energetic Tarot Podcast | With Tarot Reader Cat Crawford

This week is a listener letter and it's from Şenay. They wanted to know how to get their social spark back after a big life audit and shake-up. After cutting a lot of people off, Şenay feels like they are struggling to get the motivation back to connect with others in social situations. To help, I pulled five cards and set to work breaking down the key aspects of the question, the problem and the goal that was on the table. Together we move through the reading to try and identify where the resistance is coming from and how Şenay and anyone in a similar situation can make strides forward.

Happy Samhain/Halloween! Today I wanted to record a special Samhain episode that tells you all about why divination is such a big part of Samhain, why we read Tarot on this day and how we can make the most of this Samhain energy for our readings. In the episode, I'll be chatting all about different forms of divination as well as how we can use Tarot specifically. Plus there's a nice little 5 card Tarot reading at the end to give us a closing-out message for this current cycle. As well as all of this, there is a big announcement about the upcoming Energetic Tarot Membership that I hope to be launching on the 3rd of January 2024.

Tarot vs. Oracle Cards - Which one offers you the most support? On the Energetic Tarot Podcast this week I wanted to chat about the differences between Tarot and Oracle cards, why you might use one over the other and also how you can use both Tarot and Oracle cards together. Discover how you could deepen your Tarot practice by adding in an Oracle card now and again and learn more about the Oracle decks that are out there on the market. Tarot & Oracle Task First of all, we’ll need four Tarot cards and one Oracle card, so I’m going to choose them now. Then I want to lay them out, so I’m going to imagine a square on the table in front of me and put each of my Tarot cards where each of the four sides of the square would be, my Oracle card will sit in the middle, at the heart of the reading. So let me go ahead and sort that. From here we’ll go in a clockwise direction and the question I’m asking is about how my external world can better represent my internal one. The oracle card will be what’s happening in my internal world right now and as I read the Tarot cards, I’ll start to build more of a picture of what’s happening externally and what I need to realign to reflect what’s going on internally. Around the outside, I have the top card which is home, the right which is health, the bottom which is work/finances and the left which is relationships.

This week on the Energetic Tarot podcast I am offering a reading for podcast listener Trish. Trish wrote in to ask for guidance from the cards after a huge life change, right on the eve of retirement. Through Trish's open and honest letter, we discuss topics such as ageism, limiting beliefs, retirement and starting your own business. I'll use the Pamela Coleman Smith Tarot Deck to do a five-card Tarot reading for Trish, talking through the cards and what messages they have to offer. If you are going through something similar, you can even imagine I'm talking directly to you!

This is our first dalliance with The Moon Tarot card on the Energetic Tarot, but it's a definite deep dive into this card and the work you can do with it. At the episode, there is a nourishing, guided meditation to help you fully tap into the energy of The Moon Tarot card. So make sure you're somewhere you won't be disturbed and sit back ready for some deep subconscious exploration. Post meditation task After you’ve completed this meditation I want you to start journaling about what you found in those depths. What was it that you pulled out? Was it an object? In which case, what memories, emotions or thoughts are attached to it? If it was a feeling, can you pinpoint the moments you’ve felt that feeling in the past? This is your Seven of Wands moment, start unpacking those treasures, ask them questions, think about why you’ve chosen these things to bring out of the depths and into the light of your conscious.

In this episode of the Energetic Tarot podcast, we are looking at how we can create a narrative in our Tarot readings. This is a bit different from what we usually do, but hopefully, this will help you explore what is needed to create narratives in your readings that you can use to deepen understanding. Prompts for Episode 46 Either use the 3 act structure or go for the conflict or partnership technique. Always try and make your interpretations snappy. This means you take the first intuitive feeling or message that comes to you. Don’t try and control the narrative, just let it flow. If something comes up that you have an immediate reaction to reject, make sure to make a note of it. Especially those ones that your brain tells you can’t be right. Usually we get these feelings because our minds don’t want us poking around further, but those are the places we really need to explore within our readings. I would love to hear about the readings you do for yourself and what comes up so make sure to get in touch with me either on Insta DM or pop me an email!

How can you use the wisdom of the Tarot cards to help you choose optimism in those hard times? I'm back and I'm accompanied by the Wheel of Fortune and Page of Wands Tarot cards, to tackle the subject of conscious optimism. I chat about my own struggles as a naturally pessimistic person, to make the decision to be optimistic in times when I really didn't want to. Prompts for Episode 44 Prompt 1: Think about a time in your life when you have felt a crushing disappointment. Write it down in as much detail as possible, how did it make you feel, what thoughts did it create, what was involved what happened? Prompt 2: Now, think about what the root of that disappointment was. What was it specifically that you were disappointed by? What did you feel like you had lost? Prompt 3: Next, write down what you had really lost. How truthful was that feeling of loss? Had you really lost something or had you shed something that no longer benefitted you? That thing you lost, was it making you truly happy? Prompt 4: Finally, what happened after? Where did you go from there? How did you pick yourself up? What did you move on to? Did something or someone better come along? Did you learn anything in that process that has made a big impact on how your life has now been shaped?

How can you use the wisdom of the Tarot cards to help you choose optimism in those hard times? I'm back and I'm accompanied by the Wheel of Fortune and Page of Wands Tarot cards, to tackle the subject of conscious optimism. I chat about my own struggles as a naturally pessimistic person, to make the decision to be optimistic in times when I really didn't want to. Prompts for Episode 42 Prompt 1: Thinking back over previous experiences, what types of situations have you been in where you felt like everything was hopeless or that things just weren’t going the way you want them to? Prompt 2: Looking at those times retrospectively, what glimmers of light could you have clung to, to help bring you out of that space either more gradually or in a healthier way? Prompt 3: Let’s see if we can identify your glimmers of light in advance. Write down 10 things that bring you some sort of joy. Make these things as small and seemingly insignificant as possible. Prompt 4: To finish off, list another 8 reasons as to what practising active optimism could offer you right now. What do you think it could help with currently? Maybe even write down different ways you could start being more optimistic. Could it be in your actions, your thoughts, or the language you use?

Join me for a Virgo Full Moon collective Tarot reading to uncover how we can regain our focus and better understand what it is we want to be working towards.  In this episode, we're taking a slightly different approach to our self-care tarot and I'm giving you a full six-card reading. Using the UUSI Supra Oracle deck in conjunction with the UUSI Pagan Otherworlds Tarot deck, we start to dive into what we need in order to feel back on track.  Over the last few weeks, I've been feeling very out of alignment and doing a reading for myself and this collective tarot reading has massively helped me to better understand why that might be. If you want to give this Virgo Full Moon tarot spread a go for yourself then you can find it by clicking right here!  You can also see the cards worked with in this spread, to get a better feel for the reading and its messages for you personally.  Click to Buy The Ultimate Spiritual Journey Guide Click to Learn More About My Building a Spiritual Practice Course Click to Book a Consultation Call for Soul Tarot Coaching Introduction to Energetic Tarot Course Follow Me on Instagram Email: info@theselfcareemporium.com

This week we're working with the Queen of Pentacles Tarot court card to see how we can better embrace and nurture organic growth. We'll focus on our internal world and how we can find inner peace when the external world spins out of control and work on letting go of control of the things we have no power over.  Tarot Journal Prompts Prompt 1: Let’s start with an analysis of your ability to let go of control. It’s a big part of allowing for organic growth so here we go. Write down 10 times you have made plans or set goals and the universe has directed you in a completely new or opposite direction. Prompt 2: Go through your list and write down how you coped with this. What did you do instead, how did it feel to have your original plans scuppered by fate? Once you’ve done that, highlight or mark off how many of those reactions were positive and how many were negative. Prompt 3: Looking at your list again, do you have an abundance of positive or negative reactions to those redirections? If you have an abundance of positive reactions, why do you think you reacted that way? If you have an abundance of negative reactions, why do you feel you had those reactions instead of something more positive or optimistic? Prompt 4: Finally, for any negative reactions write down what positive outcome came from that redirection. So for example, if you had the plan to reach the most senior position at your work but then the company went under and it made you redundant. You probably won’t have had an overly positive reaction to that because you just lost your job, but positive outcomes of that might have been that you learned what you did and didn’t want from your career. You may have realised you’ve been in the wrong career all along or you ended up working at a place you love even more because you were forced to look elsewhere by fate.

This week's Self-Care Tarot episode is a big one. Instead of our usual 1-2 Tarot card pulls to guide us, we're using a Tarot structure and theory to help us better understand the meaning of cycles. Using the Fool's Journey we will look into what the Tarot has to say about cycles and how we can use that wisdom in our everyday lives. Tarot Journal Prompts Prompt 1: Let’s start with The fool himself. Write down a time when you were channelling the fool's carefree and risk-free nature. When was the last time you felt that weight lift from your shoulders? When was the last time you felt completely free? Prompt 2: Let’s look at your own self-actualisation journey. Write down a time when you have had an idea, whether it’s about yourself, a project, a job whatever it is. Write down how that idea came to you, how you moved forward with it, and how making the decision to follow that idea led you to a place of boosted confidence and self-reliance. It could literally be something as simple as learning to drive, starting a new fitness journey etc. Prompt 3: Next, let’s try and place you in the second chapter of the cycle. When have you come up against a new challenge or obstacle, how did it change you, how did it change your view on something, and what did you learn from that experience? Were you the same person coming out of this as you were going in? Prompt 4: Finally, take a look at your spiritual journey so far. If you’re listening to this podcast then you are on a spiritual journey, there would be no other reason for you to have found me otherwise! What started you on this path? What have your learned about yourself so far? What have you learned about the world so far? What more do you want to learn?

A Saturn Return takes place when we reach our 28th year and tends to last up until we’re 30 give or take. However, the repercussions of it can completely alter the rest of your life. In this episode, we use the guidance of The Tower and The World to navigate through a Saturn Return so we can get the most out of this big life shift. Tarot Journal Prompts Prompt 1: Compartmentalise your life into the following sections. Relationships, Home, Career, Social Life, Spirituality, and Sense of Self. You can do this using a pie chart, columns or some simple headers. In each of those areas write down what you have to lose. What could easily be gone tomorrow? Prompt 2: Next, think about what effect losing that thing would have on you. How would you feel about it? What lessons would that experience teach you? What worries or challenges come up as a result of losing those things? Prompt 3: Now we move on to the reunification of The World card. Think about what could replace those things you’ve lost. Leave rational thinking at the door, whatever comes to mind write it down. Prompt 4: What would be the pros and cons of replacing those previous things with your new things? What could these new things teach you? How do they make you feel? Do they benefit you or force you to take steps backwards?

In this episode, we're combining the energy of the Four of Pentacles and the Two of Swords to help us make decisions for our present selves, which will also help us get onto the right path to become our dream future selves. Tarot Journal Prompts Prompt 1: First off, write down a short paragraph around what your life is like now and what your current goals and dream manifestations are. Prompt 2: Next, visualise your dream future self, think about what you’re doing, and what habits and routines you have. Write down a second paragraph as that future self, just like you did in the first prompt. Think about what future you’s life is like, what their goals are and what they want to manifest. Prompt 3: Create 3 columns. Label the first column as ‘Actions to Take’ then label the second column as ‘Present Me’ and the third column as ‘Future Me’. In the first column right down all the actions you could take right now to reach your goals. Then right down all the actions future you might take to reach their goals. Finally, take a look at all those actions and place a tick in either the present or future you columns based on if you think it would be the right decision for that version of you to take. If it’s not the right decision for that version of you, place an x. Prompt 4: Go through each of the actions you’ve put down in your table and write down why that action is right for that chosen version of you and why it is wrong for that version of you. This is to help you see why one decision may be right for your future self and why it isn’t right for your present self.
