Episode 36: SassafrasCast Teaches Tarot: The Suit of Swords

Part three of my SassafrasCast Teaches Tarot series - focusing on the suit of swords. For beginners -  this is a series that will get you up to speed with the full deck and get comfortable doing readings. For those of you who are already readers -  this is going to be a nuanced discussion that goes beyond your typical "tarot 101" course and I hope you will add your thoughts and ideas to the conversation!   In this second episode of the series we are covering the suit of swords - which represents the element of air. We journey through the suit and talk about each card, including a discussion of the court cards and options for bailing on some of the outdated gender norms that they can be associated with.   I also give you a helpful tip for dealing with reversed cards!   $5 and up patrons can find a bonus episode in the patreon with a great go to major-arcana-only reading, plus some bonus tips on a reading to do when you're stuck and can't understand a card.   This episode was recorded live with a (virtual) studio audience - thanks for tuning in, Sassafras Patrons!
