How do I use tarot as a therapist?

Welcome to Season 14 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m answering your most frequently asked questions about tarot, witchcraft, and divination.

Today’s question: How do I use tarot as a therapist?

Tarot isn’t just a tool for personal reflection, it can also be woven into therapy—helping clients find language for their emotions, connect with archetypes, and uncover insights that words alone can't always reach. 

In this episode, I share how I began incorporating tarot into my own therapy work, what I learned from the Therapist Who Tarot retreat, and how tarot activities can support clients in self-discovery and healing.

What we explore in this episode:

  • How tarot functions as a projective technique in therapy

  • Practical activities and prompts therapists can try in session

  • Why tarot resonates with metaphor, narrative therapy, and art-based approaches

What does it mean when a card falls out of the deck?

Frequently Asked Questions: Tarot, Witchcraft, & Divination

Welcome to Season 14 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m answering your most frequently asked questions about tarot, witchcraft, and divination.

Today’s question: What does it mean when a card falls out of the deck?

Tarot readers often call these “jumping cards” or “flyers.” They tumble out while shuffling, sometimes dramatically, and can feel like they’re demanding your attention. But what do they really mean? 

In this episode, we’ll explore different reader perspectives on jumping cards, how to work with them, and what to do when the whole deck seems to tumble onto the floor.

What does it mean when I keep pulling the same card?

Frequently Asked Questions: Tarot, Witchcraft, & Divination

Welcome to Season 14 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m answering your most frequently asked questions about tarot, witchcraft, and divination.

Today’s question: What does it mean when I keep pulling the same card?

Tarot has a funny way of following us around. Sometimes, a single card seems to “haunt” us, appearing over and over no matter how much we shuffle! In this episode, we’ll explore the meaning of these so-called “stalker cards,” why they show up, and how to work with them instead of getting frustrated or dismissing the message.

What we explore in this episode:

  • What a “stalker card” is and why it might keep showing up in your readings

  • How to ask clarifying questions or use a different deck to expand the message

  • Why repetition is usually a sign of an unintegrated lesson, not a broken deck

How do I connect with my ancestors?

Frequently Asked Questions: Tarot, Witchcraft, & Divination

Welcome to Season 14 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m answering your most frequently asked questions about tarot, witchcraft, and divination.

Today’s question: How do I connect with my ancestors? 

Our ancestors walk with us. They are in our DNA, our gestures, our voices, and even our dreams. But for many of us, the idea of connecting with ancestors brings up big questions: What if I didn’t know them? What if my family history is painful? What if I’ve lost touch with my cultural roots?

Ancestor work is not about perfection or recreating the past exactly as it was. It is about relationship. In this episode, we'll talk about how to connect with your ancestors and consciously invite them into your spiritual practice.

Frequently Asked Questions: Tarot, Witchcraft, & Divination

Welcome to Season 14 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m answering your most frequently asked questions about tarot, witchcraft, and divination.

What we explore in this episode:

  • What spirit guides are and the many forms they can take

  • Practical ways to begin connecting and communicating with spirit guides
