Last week I had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Chris Brennan of The Astrology Podcast about astrology and tarot as forms of divination. It’s a subject that has been of intense interest to me for many years: Where and how do we find meaning? What is the work of the oracle? How do we, as moderns, embrace work that defies the dominant Western paradigm of reality?
Read MoreTSC interview on MamaTokTok's A Different Take podcast
During the summer, a Singapore-based blogger named AB Mambo reached out to me for an interview. AB’s podcast, “A Different Take,” is a freewheeling conversation with people around the globe who have interesting stories to tell - a more mainstream frame of reference for me than usual and a good starting point for anyone who’s just beginning to be curious about tarot and would like the answers to some thoughtful 101-level questions.

“Arnemancy….arnemancy…where have I heard that before…is that like oneiromancy? armomancy? ailuromancy?” (Answer: no. Those are, respectively, divination by dreams, wind, and cats.) You know arnemancy because it’s the social media handle of Erik Arneson, formerly of the cutely-titled podcast “My Alchemical Bromance,” which has now retired and made way for the brand-spankin’-new Arnemancy podcast.

One of the great pleasures of going to Readers Studio each year is meeting so many kindred spirits. That’s where I met Erika Farmer, who was nice enough to invite me for an interview on her YouTube channel. We talked, among other things, about the role of the intellectual and in the intuitive in our lives as readers, and the hour flew by! You can watch the interview here.
Read MoreTSC interview on Mad Mister Mark's Podcast of Mystery, 5/11/19
I've done a lot of interviews in the last several months, but I think this might be one of my favorites. 'Mad Mister Mark' is a multi-talented radio guy, design-o-phile, and esoteric practitioner. His questions really got me thinking about the everyday mysteries we engage in as diviners. Plus I enjoy the format of the show, which is sort of Prairie Home Companion meets Western Magical Tradition.
Read MoreInterview on Cult of Tarot Forum (with M. M. Meleen)...and other Fortune's Wheelhouse news!
Mel Meleen and I were recently interviewed by Joan Marie of the Cult of Tarot forum. We had a chance to look back on the 78 individual card episodes of the Fortune’s Wheelhouse podcast and share some behind-the-scenes glimpses of our process. You can read the interview at the online forum, which is a lively gathering place for tarot enthusiasts, readers, and collectors worldwide.
Meanwhile…new Fortune’s Wheelhouse project in the works!
Read MoreTSC interview on Nox Mente, 1/30/19
Last night, I had one of the more interesting conversations I’ve had in these many months. Nox Mente (“Night Mind”) is a podcast devoted to dreams and dreamers; each week co-hosts Niish and Jerry interview guests in the occultural community about their dreams and beliefs about dreaming.
Read MoreTSC interview on Holes to Heavens with Adam Sommer
Once known as the Exploring Astrology podcast, Holes to Heavens is the work of Adam Sommer, poet of the stars! It’s been running for a decade, fueled by music, conversation, and Adam’s myth-inflected insights into the unseen workings of astrology. When I went looking for an astrologically-oriented show where I could talk about tarot, Holes to Heavens was the obvious place to turn. We are both wordsy children of Mercury, and I hope the resulting conversation about dreams, oracles, and other realities is one many will find serendipitous,

Couple Thursdays ago, I came home from doing readings at the crystal shop and found myself in a heady new world: the ‘virtual Alexandria’ of the one and only Miguel Conner. For 2 hours I shot the cosmic crap with Miguel and his producer Vance. We talked about the backstage of reality, the definition of magic, shining keys, spells, correspondence webs, persons not named Clair, uncertainty as a vehicle for insight, and so much else..
