Ailynn shares how she combined aromatherapy with the Tarot to create beautiful, empowering scents based on the cards. I hope you'll be inspired by this mother and daughter team in Episode 101 of ...

Every time we do a Tarot reading, we have a choice. We can think of a spread to use. Maybe we look into our book and go, "OK, what's a funky little spread I could do?" Or we jump onto Pinterest perhaps and look up Tarot spreads, and think, "Well, which one will I use today?" Or we can start creating our own spreads. And this is clearly my favourite way, because it allows you to focus on the heart of the question. So today's podcast is all about creating your very own Tarot spreads. In this podca...

However, I know that for a lot of people who are learning to read Tarot or doing some more work with Tarot, this whole...
