E94 - Burning Times Tarot: Autumn Readings
Monday Oct 02, 2023
Monday Oct 02, 2023
I’m excited to have the wonderful, Jenny Ruiz of Burning Times Tarot back with this month's reading! There are three full readings for Autumn.
Suggestions:
- Please refer to the social media accounts for the actual cards pulled for each reading. The piles are reflected in this episode's profile picture.
- You may be drawn to one of the piles, two or all of them.
- You may choose to scroll directly to the reading for the pile that you chose or you can listen to this episode in its entirety and take whatever information resonates with you from each reading.
- Pile 1: the owl begins at 6:46
- Pile 2: the pumpkin begins at 29:25
- Pile 3: the lantern begins at 46:12
Some Warnings:
- I want to include a sensitivity warning, as these readings can be intense and tackle hard subjects with a gentle and caring approach that offers thoughtful insight.
- These readings are not meant nor intended to take the place of therapy or override any advice from a licensed clinician. They are interpretations of the cards from the three decks that Jenny used. Links below.
- The Slavic Legends Tarot Deck, The Soul’s Journey Lesson Cards, and the Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck.
