Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

In today’s Tarot for the Wild Soul episode, we’re talking to doula, breathwork facilitator, and herbalist, and co-founder of Birdsong Brooklyn, Erica Livingston. The core understanding of The Empress is that it’s an invitation to receive, and receiving one of the hardest things we do on this planet. In this episode, Erica embodies this receiving energy of The Empress by sharing how to dilate so we can become more comfortable with receiving from others as well as ourselves, and how we can begin to plug in our threshold journeys. This episode also touches on embodying Death. Embodiment of Death card energy is someone who is available to the cycles of change that come with deep release and transformational rebirth. It is truly about a turning over and a transition from one form to another. So we’ll see the meeting of The Empress and Death because as Erica shares, that receiving energy is often most needed after big transitions and transformations.

Welcome to a new month, Wild Souls! Good news: the podcast is back from fall break! I’ve got big news about changes and shifts to the podcast is shifting, and I’m so excited to share them with you at the top of today’s episode! Our Monthly Medicine for December is THE COCOON, welcoming us into a space of inner work and sacred pausing in this space between death and rebirth. We cleared so much in Scorpio season specifically, saying goodbye to everything that had to be released. It is a time where we cannot return to where we came from, but have little clarity on the next steps of our lives — or how they will present themselves to us. We may not have clarity on where we are going right now, or how we will transition from the space we are in to the one we long to take root in. But rather than strategize, manipulate, force, or burn ourselves out trying to manifest our next step, we are invited to come into The Cocoon, to take a sacred pause. When anxiety about the future, or discomfort in this moment arises, we will be asked to return to our center through pausing. The Cocoon brings us from identification with the ego’s contraction to a space of embodied intimacy with ourselves. In doing this, we are available to presence, caretaking and nurturing whatever is coming up for us. Topics: • Some Tarot for the Wild Soul podcast announcements + the evolutions you can expect (2:06) • The energetic shift of this month and the powerful duality of the winter + summer solstice (17:17) • December’s monthly medicine: The Cocoon, the idea of doing some deep inner work in an energetic cocoon (23:16) • Shifting energy from an 11 year to a 12 year, from an energy of going within and honoring that alignment to an energy of completion (28:41) • Building a shelter to keep ourselves more intimately within after the deaths we’ve experienced in Scorpio season (32:09) • Preparing to meet The Hanged Man for 2019 (38:40) • The slowness and internal integration of Temperance in this Sagittarius season (39:44) Wild Soul Collective Tarot Reading for December: MEDICINE OF THE MONTH: Page of Cups Rx (48:45) WHAT’S UNDERNEATH: Six of Swords Rx (55:13) GENTLE MESSAGE FROM DIVINE: Four of Pentacles (58:10) LESSON: Seven of Swords (59:56) OVERALL ENERGY: The Moon (1:03:46) Astrology for the month: December 6th: Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct; New Moon in Sagittarius (1:07:13) December 21st: Solstice (1:07:59) December 22nd: Full Moon in Cancer (1:08:02) Find full show notes for this episode: https://wildsoulpodcast.com/blog/tarot-medicine-december-cocoon ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by intuitive tarot reader, holistic counselor and teacher, Lindsay Mack, Tarot for the Wild Soul is a weaving of deep conversations with folks who use Tarot in their lives, channeled energetic offerings, intuitive readings on the months ahead, and mini Tarot lessons.

Happy Samhain! Welcome to November, Wild Souls! To honor the new cycle ahead of us, we have a brand new Monthly Medicine on Tarot for the Wild Soul. Our Monthly Medicine for November is LIFE/DEATH/LIFE. A term coined by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author of Women who Run with the Wolves, Life/Death/Life is a journey of inner transformation and transmutation, the spiral of rebirth. This is the energy and the invitation of the month ahead. The feel of November is very different from that of the past few months. That isn’t to imply that there won’t be huge frequency waves — some of them intense and some of beautiful and expansive — but overall, there has been a shift. We are being invited to connect with our inner Spark, the light within us that reflects the depth of our soul, what literally ignites us and gets us moving in the direction of our dreams. We will travel through a full cycle of change this month, one that will ask us to gather our strength, courage, curiosity and depth. Topics from this episode: • Celebrating Samhain, the Witches New Year: honoring the ancestors + the land and connecting with our own mortality (0:48) • How Scorpio Season fits perfectly into this Life/Death/Life theme: Death card and the Tower card in the Tarot (12:28) • Moving into Sagittarius Season and Temperance (19:03) • Astrology for the month: Samhain on October 31st, Uranus Retrograde in Aries until March 6th 2019, Jupiter moves into Sagittarius on November 8, New Moon in Scorpio on November 7th, Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius on November 16th, and a Full Moon in Gemini on November 22nd (25:14) • The mantra of the month of November: Life/Death/Life (31:43) Wild Soul Collective Tarot Reading for November (47:38) MEDICINE OF THE MONTH: Page of Wands (47:42) WHAT’S BEING RELEASED: Nine of Cups, Rx (54:49) WHAT’S ON IT’S WAY IN: Two of Cups (56:42) GENTLE MESSAGE FROM DIVINE: Six of Wands (1:00:26) WHAT’S ABOVE: Nine of Pentacles, Rx (1:02:49) WHAT’S BELOW: Strength (1:03:15) Find full show notes for this episode: https://wildsoulpodcast.com/blog/tarot-medicine-november-life-death-life ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by intuitive tarot reader, holistic counselor and teacher, Lindsay Mack, Tarot for the Wild Soul is a weaving of deep conversations with folks who use Tarot in their lives, channeled energetic offerings, intuitive readings on the months ahead, and mini Tarot lessons.

Welcome to October, Wild Souls! To honor the new cycle ahead of us, we have a brand new Monthly Medicine. Our Monthly Medicine for October is The Garden.

Hello, Wild Souls! TFTWS is going to be taking a little fall sabbatical while Lindsay teaches her course and preps for new projects! We will still be offering Monthly Medicine episodes for October and November, but won’t be back on fully until December. Listen to the episode for all the details!

Welcome to another month! Another month means another Monthly Medicine episode of Tarot for the Wild Soul, and this one is a download of epic proportions. The season of Eclipses, Retrogrades, insanely intense Moons, and cosmic laboring has come to a close. Even though we will be in a few Retrogrades this month and next, we have made it through the birth canal of the Great Void, and are ready to transition into a new cycle, a new season, a new opportunity to utilize our energy. We are ready to put all of the wisdom we have gained in the last few months into actionable steps forward. Our Monthly Medicine for September is Open Your Eyes. Opening our eyes is a choice, a moment of willingness to see something clearly, something that’s ready to be seen. What is working? What is not working? What is ready to transform? We are invited to willingly look, notice, understand and shift from a place of maturity, personal responsibility, and wisdom this month. No story, no blame, no victimhood. To make lasting, impactful changes, we must be willing to be with what is here. We are truly in a position to make some epic changes in September. We will only be able to do so by deeply seeing what is present, and the medicine it brings — even if it’s uncomfortable. Topics from this episode: • September’s energetic profile coming through the “birthing” experience of summer of 2018 (5:34) • September’s mantra: Open Your Eyes (19:05) • Wild Soul Collective Tarot Reading for September—Medicine of the month: Justice (29:34) • Beginning the month in Virgo, The Hermit of the Tarot (42:47) • What we are releasing: The Hanged Man reversed (45:07) • What we are stepping into: Five of Swords (47:47) • Gentile message from Divine: King of Pentacles reversed & Ten of Cups (55:42) • The importance of quiet time this month (1:03:41) • Astrology for the month: Saturn stations direct on September 6th, New Moon in Virgo on September 9th, moving into Libra season, a Full Moon in Aries on September 24th, and Pluto stations direct on September 30th (1:07:00) Find full show notes for this episode: https://wildsoulpodcast.com/blog/tarot-medicine-september-open-eyes To sign up for Lindsay’s 8 week Tarot course, click below!

This is a short(ish) statement, regarding my recent episode of the podcast with Alisha Cigalotti, specifically about our conversation around The Motherpeace Tarot.

Today I want to approach The Tower as a holy tree in the Tarot. This is one of the most feared and perhaps most misunderstood cards in the Tarot, so I’m shedding some light on the medicine it can offer if you’re willing to surrender to it. We’ve all been through The Tower—whether or not we had the archetypal vocabulary to support us—so let’s talking about how The Tower acts as a loving force to keep us in alignment, how it relates to the High Priestess and The Hermit, and the different levels and layers of how The Tower might hold deep medicine for us. In this episode we explore: • Coming out the other side of eclipse season and Mercury Retrograde (0:27) • Approaching the sacred mountain / holy tree of The Tower in the Tarot (1:29) • The Tower as it relates to the High Priestess and The Hermit in a Maiden, Mother, Crone dynamic (3:54) • The Tower as an initiation (15:49) • Examples of big Tower moments (19:00) • The different levels and layers of The Tower (30:15) • Top Tower (30:37) • Mid-Level Tower (34:00) • Foundational Tower (40:43) • Sub-basement Tower (44:06) • Making peace with The Tower and surrendering to the discomfort (48:10) Find full show notes for this episode: https://wildsoulpodcast.com/blog/tower-tarot ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by intuitive tarot reader, holistic counselor and teacher, Lindsay Mack, Tarot for the Wild Soul is a weaving of deep conversations with folks who use Tarot in their lives, channeled energetic offerings, intuitive readings on the months ahead, and mini Tarot lessons.

In this episode of Tarot for the Wild Soul, I’m diving into the soul core of the “love” cards of the Tarot (The Lovers, Ace of Cups, Two of Cups, Four of Cups, and Ten of Cups), inviting listeners to explore them from an evolved, inclusive, and self-empowered perspective. We also explore the crucial point that we the proverbial soulmate is in the mirror, shifting the idea of relationships, love, and receiving to a deeply sovereign place, one that brings us back home to ourselves. In this episode, we explore: • Looking at the soulmate in the mirror and the importance of examining your marriage with yourself (2:45) • How looking for love will only create more distance from it (8:40) • All the ways in which we rob ourselves of the deep and beautiful intimacy that exists within our being — and how we can shift that (16:19) • Examining the Lovers card in the Tarot through a soul-centered perspective (24:05) • The shadow of the Lovers card as the Devil in the Tarot (31:15) • Examining the Ace of Cups card in the Tarot through a soul-centered perspective (36:30) • Examining the Two of Cups card in the Tarot through a soul-centered perspective (40:43) • The relationship between the High Priestess and the Fool in the Tarot (40:48) • Examining the Four of Cups card in the Tarot through a soul-centered perspective (43:05) • Examining the Ten of Cups card in the Tarot through a soul-centered perspective (45:13) • How important it is to begin to shift out of the paradigm that these traditionally held cards are always about the fact that a partner is coming (51:40) vHolding a space of ethics and inclusivity for everyone’s experience of love and sexuality, including those who do not date, or choose not to date (53:38) Find full show notes for this episode: https://wildsoulpodcast.com/blog/love-cards-tarot ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by intuitive tarot reader, holistic counselor and teacher, Lindsay Mack, Tarot for the Wild Soul is a weaving of deep conversations with folks who use Tarot in their lives, channeled energetic offerings, intuitive readings on the months ahead, and mini Tarot lessons.
