-----------------------------------------------------------------

 This week's guest is none other than the superstar + living queen Stephanie Caponi, of Moon Void Tarot. 

Some of you know and love her from her indie deck, her newsletter, from her channel, from her books.  She is such a talented person doing tarot, astrology, readings, workshops…all the things.

In this episode, we talk about manifestation using tarot for manifestation of little bit of a sneak preview of a book of the same subject that she'll be releasing in the new year.

She also mentions the workshop she will be offering to the community to set yourself up for success for 2025.  

We also talk about the beginner's mindset, seeing things through fresh eyes, and how we face and embrace that challenge. 

We talk as well about how learning to trust ourselves, to really feel into our body for some of the answers that we need, and really owning that maybe some things just don't feel aligned, and that's okay, even if it goes against the grain.

But that is really the tip of the iceberg. 

As ever, lmk what you like, what you want to hear more, of how this podcast can be even  better. 

Please take five seconds to leave a five star review, share the ep with a friend, or post on social media.

Big hug, Bex

Many times the question my sitter came with was not the one they left with!

Thank you for supporting my passion project, this podcast.

In this episode we discuss:

• Holding space for clients as a therapist and a tarot reader
• Tarot and Therapy as a playground
• What we do when clients want to outsource their decision-making to us
• Humanising tarot readers and therapists - we're human too!
• How tarot and therapy still remain taboo for some, and for different reasons
• How to support clients during times of crisis and change
• The potential of tarot to be used in therapy spaces, as a tool of reflection and a way to unlock new ways of discussing a situation or experience
• How some things are really best left to the experts (therapists!)
• We explore why some people may seek out one space rather than the other
• The importance of therapy and tarot being neutral, non-judgemental spaces for clients to unpack and explore their lives and experiences

I appreciate Samantha's expertise and good humour.  There have been frequent references to therapy and tarot throughout the season of the podcast, so it was time we got a therpaist in the confession booth to get an expert POV!

Jen Sankey is an absolute powerhouse.  This conversation left me smiling, inspired, and ready to give her all my money.

We talk about her adventure self-publishing her namesake deck and how she now has a new deck in the world - Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot - and many more tarot and oracle decks, books about manifestation, and other exciting projects waiting in the wings.

We discuss what's happening with the Love and Light crowd (icks) and our views on how to challenge some of the gatekeeping, the competitiveness, and bad behaviour we observe.

We talk about what happens when we have to fire a client, her background as a Nurse, and, for the tarot-curious, how to learn and master the tarot.

So glad you're here.

 Ashlightstar - the Schumann resonance, Transformation, and big Dragon energy

Ashleigh from Ashlightstar slides into the Confession booth this week.

We start with the Schumann resonance and quickly make our way through the meaning of transformation.  How a spiritual awakening and spiritual journey can be brutal, scary, and also thrilling.  

What to do, and why you shouldn't give up as you explore the different spiritual tools and ideas.

But that's just the start.  

We discuss working with dragon energy, how the sun is helping the earth.  How to practice energetic regulation as a lightworker.

How ego needs to be part of the transformation.  And reconciling our human form with our energetic form.

We discuss timeline jumping, the oversoul, being a channel, and much much much more.

Cassandra Snow, the author, performer, witch, and creator of Queering the Tarot.  Cassandra joins Bex this week to chat about performing at 40 and how doing it scared is still doing it.

They discuss reading tarot as a people skill not just a card skill, why spell substitutions are more personal than any internet substitution list can tell you, and what it practically means to build a rooted, literate witchcraft practice. 

Cassandra shares her three favourite journaling prompts, her hot take on generative AI (spoiler: she's not a fan), and why witchcraft and activism are, fundamentally inseparable.

Overview

What does it look like to build a life entirely on your own terms — cards, art, magic, and all? In this episode of Confessions of a Tarot Reader, host Bex sits down with Marcella Kroll: artist, oracle deck creator, tarot mentor, and the person behind the beloved Sacred Symbols Oracle (now in its fourth edition) and the brand-new Initiates Oracle.

Marcella opens up about the creative process — how ideas arrive as quiet nudges that won't go away, why rest and "doing nothing" are essential to any creative practice, and what happens when you stop fighting your life and start trying to actually love it. She also shares the story of retiring from client readings after years at the centre of the tarot world, her 14 years teaching Tarot for Teens at the LA Public Library, and what drew her toward mentorship and group work instead.

Together, Bex and Marcella explore the shifting landscape of the esoteric and tarot community — the rise of social media readers, and why the esoteric space still has a future. They also get honest about AI, human connection, community, authenticity, and the difference between wanting to be a reader and wanting to be famous.

In this episode:

• The Sacred Symbols Oracle and the Initiates Oracle — what they are and how they were made
• Following creative impulses vs. forcing productivity
• Retiring from readings and stepping into mentorship
• The esoteric ecosystem: trends, fads, and who sticks around
• AI, transparency, and our responsibilities as spiritual practitioners
• Getting readings as a seasoned reader (and why Marcella still does it)
• Declaring "I want to love my life" — and what comes up when you do

Connect with Carol!

https://www.carrottarot.com/

In this episode

Carol from Carrot Tarot joins Bex for a conversation full of warmth, laughs, and genuinely useful insight — from what it's like to quit corporate life and go all-in on tarot, to the art of reading for the collective vs. one-on-one clients.

They go deep on Air sign life, they compare notes on Zoom vs. in-person readings, the questions that give them the ick (twin flames, "is he going to call?"), why a tarot reading is not a wishing well, and what "proactive tarot" actually means in practice. Carol also shares the story of her very first deck — a 1985 Merlin Tarot with pip cards and no traditional suits — and why she'd now strongly recommend starting with Rider-Waite-Smith.

Plus: AI and tarot, platform pros and cons across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, the Scorpio stellium, and why Carol's husband might be developing psychic abilities.
