The Emperor—the sovereign, the protector, the builder of order from chaos. This card brings the energy of stability, structure, and earned authority. He is the firm hand that guides, the foundation beneath your feet, and the discipline that turns dreams into legacies.

Join the Bard for a tale of hard-won wisdom, leadership with purpose, and the strength to create safe space not only for yourself—but for others. The Emperor asks: What are you building? And are your roots strong enough to hold it?

The garden grows quiet. The warmth fades. Something is being forgotten.

In this episode, we return to The Empress—but now she is reversed, her nurturing touch dimmed, her fertile fields left untended. Explore what happens when creativity stalls, when self-care slips away, or when love is given freely to others but denied to the self.

Through story and reflection, uncover the wisdom in the withering. Are you overextending? Have you lost your connection to joy, beauty, or the natural rhythms of life? The reversed Empress asks: What within you is longing to be held?

Come and meet The Empress—goddess of creation, nurturer of life, and embodiment of love in its many forms. She is the earth beneath your feet, the laughter of a friend, the spark of a new idea ready to bloom.

Through story and symbol, discover how The Empress calls you to connect—with nature, with others, and with your own power to birth beauty into the world. Whether you're cultivating a project, a relationship, or a new sense of self, she reminds you: you are worthy of thriving.

The silence grows heavy… but are you listening?

In this episode, the veil is still drawn—but this time, The High Priestess stands reversed, her wisdom muted, her guidance unclear. Explore what happens when we ignore our intuition, mistrust our inner voice, or lose our connection to the deeper truths.

Gather close as hear a tale of forgotten dreams, missed signs, and the long path back to inner stillness. The reversed High Priestess reminds us: when the world grows loud, it is often the soul that goes unheard.

Have you lost touch with your...

Shhh… listen closely, adventurer.

Tonight, you meet The High Priestess—guardian of the veil, keeper of secrets, and guide to the hidden realms within. In this episode, we draw back the curtain to reveal the quiet power of intuition, dreams, and the sacred unknown.

Through tale and tarot, discover how The High Priestess speaks in symbols and silence, inviting you to trust what cannot always be seen. She is the space between question and answer—the stillness where truth rises.

So pour yourself something deep and dark. There is wisdom waiting in the quiet...

The tools are scattered. The spark flickers.

In this episode, we face The Magician Reversed—where illusion clouds intent, and untapped power waits in silence. Explore the shadow side of this master of manifestation: manipulation, misdirection, self-doubt, and lost potential.

Join the Bard by the hearth for a tale of magic gone sideways, and the wisdom that can still be found when the spell fizzles. Whether you’re struggling to align your will or unsure of what you're truly calling in, the reversed Magician invites you to ask: Am I creating with intention… or illusion?

Ah... the road twists unexpectedly.

In this episode, we revisit The Fool—but not as the bright-eyed wanderer. This time, the Fool is reversed, stumbling into hesitation, recklessness, or fear of the unknown. Jared the Tarot Bard shares how this upside-down energy might be manifesting in your journey, and what wisdom still waits in the missteps and false starts.

Pull up a chair as the Bard spins a tale from the darker side of the Fool’s path—where lessons are harder earned, but no less meaningful. Whether you’re leaping too quickly or frozen in place...
