Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

26. Tarot as a Folk Practice with Tessa Giberson of City Witch

This episode is a Wild Soul Interview with Tessa Giberson, who is an amazingly gifted tarot reader, city witch and zinester based in Ottawa, Canada. I had the honor of connecting with Tess both as fellow readers on IG, but also because they are one of my Tarot students! Tess approaches Tarot as a spiralic, revolutionary tool to transform the collective, and truly lives that message. They bring such profound wisdom, clarity, grace and power to this interview — I am so excited for everyone to be nourished by it!
In this conversation, Tess and I dive into:
• How Tess found Tarot on their path + how Caliban and the Witch, a book written by Sylvia Federici, has deeply impacted their journey as a Witch and Tarot reader (8:00)
• How important it has been to break out of the paradigm that you have to study for 20 years to begin to read for people (not true!) (11:52)
• Understanding and connecting to the Tarot as a tool through mental health struggle (15:42)
• Boundaries, consent, folk wisdom, showing up for readings in contraction, and how important it is not to attach to whether the client “liked” the reading or not (so important!) (31:53)
• The challenges of transiting through The Empress and reframing them outside the gender binary (43:48)
• Tarot as a revolutionary tool (52:21)
• The challenges with The Sun in the Tarot (1:05:08)

24. Creating Representation in Tarot with Courtney Alexander of Dust II Onyx

This episode is a Wild Soul Interview with Courtney Alexander, the creator of Dust II Onyx: A Melanated Tarot! The cards feature 78 mixed media collage paintings accented with metallic and holographic foils, featuring cultural myths, symbolism, history, and icons within the Black Diaspora. The guidebook features multiple keyword lists (numerological, elemental and astrological) and full color images of the artwork with titles and art descriptions. Each card has been carefully researched, with nearly 75 resources cited, providing a wealth of educational material. The entire deck, from the paintings to the research to the design was created and birthed by Courtney.
In her Courtney’s own words, here is what this deck has meant to her:
“Dust II Onyx...uses tarot divination to merge the multitude of intersections within black culture. I was inspired by my own spiritual journey deconstructing, decolonizing and disconnecting from my Christian heteropatriarchal foundations.
As an African-American unable to trace my ancestry beyond a few decades, this work has helped me gather the shards of my identity that once felt scattered. I felt conflicted about jumping into other African spiritual traditions within the diaspora to find myself. I wanted to be conscious of my desire to appropriate traditions without forethought to how they connected to my own cosmology—considering the thousands of ethnic groups that exist within this expansive continent that is my soul's original home.”
In this conversation, Courtney and I dive into:
• Courtney’s search for Tarot decks that represented her as a person of color, and how that fueled her journey to creating her own: the Dust || Onyx: A Melanated Tarot (8:00)
• The EPIC story of how Dust II Onyx Tarot came to be, and how Courtney went on a profound experience of soul death and rebirth on the way to making it (20:39)
• Working on the Death Tarot card and working through fears surrounding death (31:12)
• Some astrology talk + the placement of some of Courtney’s planets (44:21)
• Creating a Kickstarter campaign for the Dust || Onyx Tarot deck + the creation & production process (46:55)
• Where the name Dust II Onyx came from (1:04:57)
• The second edition of Dust II Onyx + the sponsor a deck program (1:08:45)

19. MONTHLY MEDICINE: January is UPGRADE

This episode is a Monthly Medicine episode, an hour long channeled forecast for the month of January. The theme for this month is UPGRADE.
In December, we crossed many bridges of the soul, leaving behind old patterns and cycles for more aligned landscapes. That work continues in January, in an even more rooted way. We are ready, collectively and individually, to upgrade. We are ready to ask for more, for better, for what we are truly worth. It will no longer work to make our choices from lack, fear, or desperation — we must trace our steps, look at any areas of our life where we are compromising, or believing that we cannot do better, and choose differently. Doing so will drastically alter the course of our year. It is a powerful step, a perfect one to bring us into 2018, year of the High Priestess.
In this episode, Lindsay shares and dives deep into:
• The theme of January is UPGRADE: How we can work with the theme of upgrading in our lives, both individually and collectively (8:48)
THE MEDICINE OF THE MONTH: Eight of Cups (26:08)
WHAT WE ARE LEAVING IN DECEMBER: Five of Pentacles (30:44)
WHAT WE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH IN JANUARY: Strength (35:15)
GENTLE MESSAGE FROM DIVINE: Justice (39:55)
• How 2018 is a High Priestess/Justice year, and how we can connect with this for our deepest expansion (47:57)
• The Full in Cancer & New Moon in Capricorn of January (57:28)
• The significance of moving from Capricorn (THE DEVIL) to Aquarius (THE STAR) in the month of January (1:00:35)
