Your Creative & Magical Life ·

2025/07/16

In this episode, I pull cards for a community member's quandaries and questions. This seeker writes that they SEE the cards sitting there across the room, but can't bring themselves to reach for the deck, shuffle it up, and commune with the magic. The drudgery of work is draining their energy, when all they want is a life "dripping with wonder and holy strangeness." (Ugh, don't we all!) I talk about how this is a really common experience for magical people trapped in the mundanity of 'c...

CHECK OUT THE SUMMER SYNERGY SPECTACULAR — to support and celebrate 8 years of Typewriter Tarot! ✨ In this episode, I share five key insights about the impact of academia on our creativity, particularly within fine arts graduate programs.

In this episode, I dive into the HUGE topic of Capitalism and how it impacts our Creativity. I share 5 BIG THINGS I see within this tense relationship between the two, and what that often means for us as Creative Spirits. Let's explore... how Capitalism infiltrates our thoughts, beliefs, aspirations, and the way that we create — often without us even realizing it... what could it be like if Capitalism were not such a giant pair of handcuffs on our Creativity... and how we can open thing...

THE TOWER: Reaching into the Fire w/ writer Robin Gow

Your Creative & Magical Life ·

2025/04/29

In this episode, we explore The Tower (no one's favorite card to receive!). The Tower is a card that can shake things up, to put it mildly, and bring about great change. My guest is rather familiar with The Tower's energy and impact, and shares about their personal experiences with this card as we explore this archetype of disruption, awakening, and reorientation. My wonderful guest is Robin Gow, a trans poet, writer, activist, educator (and demonologist!) whose YA novels include Gooseb...

5 THINGS: Creativity as an Energy

Your Creative & Magical Life ·

2025/04/10

In this episode, I talk about one of the foundational beliefs of my work — that creativity is an energy, not a personality trait, nor an exclusively human feature. I explain 5 elements, aspects, or implications of this belief and what it means for us as creatively inclined humans. I'm curious to know... does this resonate for you? Does it change the way you think about creativity? Expect a few more "5 Things" episodes about things like Creativity & Capitalism, Creativity & Acade...

Microdose 9. Using Tarot to Make Decisions — Part 2

Your Creative & Magical Life ·

2025/03/13

This is a follow-up on a previous episode (Using Tarot to Make Decisions — Part 1), where I talked about how I used Tarot as part of my process for making a big decision. I ended that episode giving y'all the impression that I'd gone with the option that appeared to be "less glorious," and a little softer. But after sharing that episode out, THINGS CHANGED! And I changed my mind. So, it feels only right to share what happened next, how it turned out (so far), and how, with some hi...

It's the year of The Hermit (because 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9, The Hermit's number). And it's sure to be a wild year all around — politically, environmentally, technologically. So, what wisdom does The Hermit have to offer us as we head into the unknown?In this episode, I share three key themes from the Hermit workshop I hosted last week in the Creative Magic Collective. Presented as Hermit principles or philosophies, I invite you to think about how these might apply to your life in the coming year,...

2025/01/05

In this episode, I share how I recently used Tarot to help me make a decision that felt risky and challenging, and how I fell into a hierarchical paradigm with the cards... but discovered later there was more nuance to what the cards offered (like always!!!). I use this story to share some thoughts about why we might consult the cards when we face big choices, how to regard the cards that show up, the goodness of calling in additional sources of information, allowing for time, choosing a...

For an exploration of The Hanged One, I had to talk to Amelia Hruby, creator and host of the podcast Off the Grid, a show for small business owners who want to leave social media without losing all their clients.These days, the prevailing logic is that ANY and EVERY successful business MUST have an Instagram account. But Amelia's made it her work to show us what else is possible — something The Hanged One is in the process of realizing. This #12 card in the Major Arcana is about stepping away...

I talk about solitude as a place to center ourselves, discover what's true for us, commune with Spirit and Creativity, and just be in our own energy. I also talk about how solitude helps us navigate when the Wheel of Fortune injects change into our lives. Rather than simply reacting, or r...
