Tarot for the End of Times - A Podcast with Sarah Cargill – Details, episodes & analysis

As the movement for collective liberation grows and we bear witness to the death throes of Empire, how can we collectively meet this chapter - and each other - with responsibility, care, and steadfastness?

Sarah consults with her Spirits to conduct a tarot reading for herself and the global community of T4ET listeners. Tune in as she discusses navigating intracommunal harm in movement spaces, the stories that keep us trapped, and the role of relational repair in dismantling systems of oppression.

"The Power of Cutting Off" - Dharma Talk by Brother Phap Dung

The Karma Keeper is tired of watching you undermine your power and play small. The Devil asks: in what ways do you unconsciously or habitually diminish your own power and agency as a means to relinquish responsibility or maintain a false sense of safety? 

Consider this: what if the Devil actually wants to see you win?

The beliefs and habits that keep you small and safe might also, eventually, become the very thing that kills you. And that would be a shame, because the Death Card wants you to live.

In this episode, Sarah takes her own advice and gives herself permission to transform, introducing the Death Card in conjunction with her new spiritual home, Snakeskin Tarot.
