In this Creator's Corner, Ettie sits down with Lori Lytle, Author of "Talismans & Tarot" to interview Lori about her practice and her book and all of the love and intentionality she infused in her book.

This week on Wildly Tarot, Emily guests hosts with Ettie. They talk about how Emily got into Tarot through the knitting pattern Reliquary and the two of them geek out over their similar background and hobbies that include D&D, Smut, and how ACAB Brennan Lee Mulligan is in Dimension 20 Question of the week is What are your desert island decks, ones you would bring and ones you would burn? Emily and Ettie have opinions so join us on discord to discuss what decks you would bring to the island and which you would toss into the fire. Also join the discord to see the infamous 'butt plug' cover for the Archetypes Deck Ettie mentioned when diving deep into Kim Krans lore. The deck of the week is the Le Tarot aux ramures étranges or 'The Tarot of the Strange Branches' or 'The Tarot of the Strange Antlers'. From research, this French deck can be found on Amazon but if you have a local tarot store, see if they can order it for you to purchase from them! This absolutely magical deck is alluring, charming and yet elusive with its artistry challenging readers to think outside the Rider Waite Smith norms and explore the mystical fae-esque world created by Rouxalis.Don't forget to support Emily by following them on Instagram and going to your local library during the month of September.

In this episode, Ettie is excited to share the contents of the most recent patreon solstice box that was sent out in June, highlighting the curated items they gathered for their bee themed box. Special Thanks to Portland Bee Balm, Mimic Gaming Company, A Nature Unknown, and Little Darkness for making some of the amazing products in the summer solstice box. The deck review of the episode covers the second edition of the staggering 84 card deck, The Outdoors Oracle. This deck includes a 6-sided merit die, topo map, and a 220 page guidebook a perfect oracle for avid outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. This deck is so extremely thoughtful in its execution, but there are a few trigger warnings as some of the cards do allude to hunting, poaching, and other forms of violence. These things are not graphically depicted in images, but they are mentioned in meanings for some of the cards so please take care listening.

This week, Wildly Tarot is going a little off the rails when Charlie, a mentalist, tarot reader, and Ettie’s very own D&D Dungeon Master joins the podcast as guest co-host! Charlie brings a totally different perspective to the cards, blending mentalism and tarot in a way that’s both thought-provoking and delightfully outside the norm. We chat about the idea that all tarot is valid (a novel concept we know) and how Charlie forged a personal relationship with tarot after coming to it through some pretty unconventional paths. We also tackle a listener question about how to reconnect with your magic after getting burned by big spiritual predictions, for example, TikTok astrologers and tarot readers swearing that Trump wouldn’t take office. Plus, we nerd out over the major arcana in the Tarot de Marseille and why this deck still holds its own centuries later.

In this special Creators Corner episode of Wildly Tarot Podcast, I sit down with Beck, owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe in Hanover, Pennsylvania, to talk about their recent lawsuit filed against the local sheriff and how Beck's business was targeted under an outdated 1861 law that prohibits fortune telling for profit.
