Brian. Hello everyone, and welcome to intentional spiritual living with Brian. I am Brian Campbell, your host, and this is episode two. You Brian. Welcome friends to episode two of intentional spiritual living with Brian. Today, we're going to talk about a Tarot draw that I am doing to help us all. I'm going to do a two card draw and do an analysis of the draw today. Very excited to do that. Unlike last week, where I intentionally chose two cards to represent the situation that we're currently living today, I'm actually going to do a random two card draw and talk about that. I also want to talk today about how not to get lost in the hoopla of the pandemic and lose your spiritual connection. So I want to talk about how I kind of fell off the bandwagon for the first week of this global shutdown, or international shutdown, I should say, and how I was able to get past that and share some tips and tricks with each and every one of you on how to remain spiritual and keep your connection Strong. And then finally, today, we're going to talk about the usages and metaphysical properties of serpentine and how we can incorporate those in our life. Again, I'm Brian Campbell. I own ravens cauldron at 110 South Sandusky Street in Delaware, Ohio. Our phone number is 740-417-8402, you can find us online@ravenscaldren.com on Facebook, forward slash ravens cauldron, Delaware, and on Instagram at ravens cauldron. Be sure to tune in to Instagram and Facebook and Follow our page every day I do a tarot card drawing based upon a major arcana card ruling the week, married up as a combination with one more tarot card to kind of set the stage for the day, using Tarot as a very powerful tool, and you don't want to Miss that with no further ado. Let's get started. You let's get right to it. I have pulled the four of pentacles in the king of pentacles reversed for our two card reading today. What an interesting draw for the current time that we're living in. I can't wait to share it with you. I, as always, like to do a little bit of theory here. So the suit of Pentacles and the Tarot, that's the only suit that we pulled today in suit of pentacles is earth based. So when you think about pentacles, think about things that you can see touch here on the physical plane. Think about money. Sometimes it's called the suit of coins, depending on the Tarot deck you're looking at. So it's all tangible stuff. A lot of Pentacles will come up in career readings and finance readings. Somebody's purchasing a house, a new car, and there's universal guidance questions that they come see a tarot reader for. That's that's the heart and soul of Pentacles. And so today, we have the four of pentacles upright as our first card. So as always, if you're not driving and you want to follow along, just open up a Google search and search for four of pentacles and click on images, and you can see the image today, I'm using the everyday witch tarot, but the imagery is very much the same for the four of pentacles. And you see a person sitting on their pentacles, kind of guarding them. On my image that I'm looking at, there's a gentleman that is sitting on his four Pentacles. It's a box, and they're inscribed on that box, and he's wearing armor on his arms, and he's got a cloak on and a cape. So he's very heavily guarded, and he's sitting on these Pentacles with a look on his face of, don't touch. And so the message here, we can put a lot of things together here. So we talked about number four in episode one, actually, and how from a numerous. Logical standpoint, the number four has a lot to do with structure and manifestation. So let's just talk about that for a second, structuring and manifesting your portfolio, your wealth, getting to know your relationship with money and things and stuff and possessions. For you know, when we're talking one to 10 is, you know, not quite to the midway point. So we're still figuring out our relationship with, in this case, pentacles, coins, stuff, earth based stuff, and we're heavily guarded on it, because we've worked really hard, if you will, to get to where we're at. And so our relationship in the four of pentacles is very much kind of king of the mountain, if you will. And that's not always bad, but when we add in our combination card today, it's the king of pentacles, and it is reversed. So before I talk any further, a little bit of Tarot theory, if you will. In a 78 card Tarot Deck, there are two meanings for every card, if you choose to read revert read reversals, which I do so in its purest, upright form. The king of pentacles is all about that natural born leader when, with respect to security, wealth, your portfolio, all that stuff, you've kind of achieved the pinnacle, and you're a master. Your relationship with money is very healthy. You've gained so much wisdom on your path, and you're doing well, but now we're reversing that. And so you may ask, you know, what does the four of pentacles and the king of pentacles have to say for us? And how is it relevant? And that's what we're about to talk about. So we with the four again, we're guarding, we're getting to know our relationship, and we're playing King of the Mountain. You know, we've accumulated a lot of stuff, and we're not letting anyone in. And so the two card combination today is universally calling us to re evaluate our relationship with money. Re evaluate, is it too obsessive? Is it too important to us and in this pandemic, because I do these live times, so I always want everyone to think about where things are at. This is late April of 2020. We're all still likely quarantined in lockdown in our own homes, the money that we have worked so hard to to obtain the stuff, even more importantly than the money, the possessions and the things, the stuff that we all thought was important and that we had such a deep rooted relationship with, we may be questioning the importance at this point, and that's what this combination is calling us to do as we are, living our moments of solitude and being around who we live with, and having little contact with the rest of the world. For the time being, we're able to reflect on these things, and it's very interesting, because I want to give an example about how this is relevant during this pandemic, I'm going to give two examples, and they're pretty harsh, I will, but, but, but when I say Tarot never lies, sometimes the messages are in your face, and we may not want to hear them, but I choose, and I'm hoping you guys choose to hear what they have to say, because at the heart and soul of tarot, it's universal guidance. And in this particular instance, I didn't ask the Tarot to answer a question. I just am asking the Tarot as I shuffled before I pulled these cards to just give us a State of the Union. What should we be thinking about during this time? Tarot is about the present, the here and now, and it's very, very interesting. So the two examples that I have take, for instance, a person who has a relationship with money to the point to where they just want to keep accumulating it, and so they have stacks and stacks of cash in their house. We're not going to put a number on it, we'll just say significant amounts when we think about that, it's very, very interesting, because we're quickly becoming a cashless society. And so what this person was obsessed with is really not as big of an asset to them right now. It's not really solving any problems. You know, we went to order pizza the other night, and I wanted to pay cash, and the answer was, we are not taking cash, and I'm finding that many, many places were becoming a cashless society. So hoarding and the relationship with that didn't quite pan out. On a more serious note, an exact. An example of how this message can relate to us during this pandemic. I'm sure we've all been touched by someone that is affected with coronavirus or covid 19. Perhaps they're really ill, perhaps they've passed on, or we've read stories of those that are very, very ill and passed on. And so we can apply this by saying when someone is transitioning and passing on, especially someone that had an unhealthy relationship with accumulation of stuff and wealth, perhaps you know during their last thoughts, they're not saying, Thank God I didn't live life to the fullest, and I scrimped and saved for everything. You know, I watched this happen with my own father when he died, and this was years ago. This had nothing to do with the pandemic, but I grew up in a family that was very much scrimpers And savers. Did not make big money, but had an accumulation of wealth, because I never spent anything. My dad was a farmer, and I couldn't help but think, on his last day here on the earth, you know that he was reevaluating that, and you know, perhaps I should have loosened up the purse strings a little. I lived a little more, got that new tractor I may have wanted and not saved, because you can't predict what's going to happen tomorrow. Nothing is proven, nothing is guaranteed, if you will. And so the message, again, the overwhelming message, is just for us to reevaluate our relationship with earth based, grounded, things that we can see and touch, possessions, money, portfolios, careers, wealth as an example. And really just kind of journal your thoughts and think about it as we are getting ready to get back into the world, as we're getting ready to start back the wheels turning to get our economy back. You know, this is a good time to think about that. If you have a job that you work, you know, 5060, hours for is it really bringing you everything you want? Is it really nurturing your soul? Are you happy with it? You know, evaluate your relationship with things, because life is about to open back up. And that is what tarot, my friends, is trying to say to us today, again, the four of pentacles and the king of pentacles reversed. I know one thing is for certain with me, and I know that I've talked to several of my metaphysical friends. That's not really a great term, is it my friends that are in tune with their spiritual side and metaphysical topics, we have started to feel a void, a lack of interest during the beginning of the stay at home orders that we're all living and breathing and enduring right now. I know for me, personally, I am a big Tarot fanatic. I pull tarot cards every day to guide my decisions. I study new things with Tarot. I live and breathe a lot of this metaphysical stuff, and Tarot is very important to me. And I know back early on, when this started, I tried to pull cards, I tried to journal different combinations and looking at cards in a different light that maybe I hadn't done. And just to tell you the power of that, normally for me, you know, after having been having been read well over 30 years of reading cards, I still see something new in them all the time, and I just wasn't feeling it, if you will. During the beginning of this, my mind wasn't on the crystals in my toolkit, my tarot cards, my oracle cards, my rituals that I build in my essential oils and burning incense and breeding new books on spiritual topics, none of it was working for me. And so I started talking to my friends, and everybody was feeling the same way. And so I wanted to devote the portion of this podcast to what I did to get over that hump, in an effort to to sort of help you folks get there. Because I got to tell you, it's really hard, and nobody can blame any of us for feeling that way. These are, these are trying times, and we're questioning things, and we're we just don't know what end is up, if you will. And so with no further ado, I want to kind of just tell you how I got past that a little bit. The first thing I did, it was like the fourth day of this shutdown. And. Yeah, I was still feeling a spiritual void. I just was feeling blah, if you will. And so I said, you know, Brian, I've got, I've got to get past this. This is not who I am. I very much in love with all these topics, and none of them are working for me. You know? I was just kind of wanting to sit and play video games and rinse and repeat and watch the news, hear the same thing over and over and just get more scared and just it was bad time for me, as it still is for many that I've talked to. And so the first thing I did was I wanted to set up some sort of structure and schedule, and I guess I should back up for a second. I run ravens cauldron, as you all know, and so on a typical day, I have a ailing mother who has advanced Alzheimer's dementia, who lives in a facility right near my house. And I pick mom up every morning and we go for breakfast together. It's the one thing that I can do that she loves and still identifies with, and it helps me start my way on a positive day. And who doesn't like to see their mom, and then I drop her back off at her facility. And at this point, it's like 10 o'clock in the morning, and I come directly to Raven's cauldron. I don't open till noon, but I spend time here doing Tarot draws, doing social media posts on my Tarot draws, getting ready for the business, packing, unpacking new stock for the store, making phone calls, marketing, you name it. And so that's my routine. As we all have our routines, and my store had to be shut down by a governor order. My mom is locked behind closed doors at her facility, and no visitors are allowed. So here I was, my entire structure that I'm so used to was gone. I had no responsibilities. I get up in the morning. I could make my coffee, eat and watch news, play some video games and rinse and repeat. And it got really old, really fast. And so I started to build this structure. And so I wanted to do a daily devotional meditation. And what's funny about that word devotional, it sounds very religious, doesn't it sounds very preacher, like devoted to a deity, devoted to a god. No, that's not I devoted a devotional meditation to me. And how I do this meditation. It's 10 minutes in the morning, and I just sit and I close my eyes and I clear my mind, which for us, type a Virgo type people, that is very hard to do. I am not a black belt meditation person, but I work at it daily. And so what my goal was, if I have a go on the meditation, I do a lot better with it. And it was to bring into the forefront of my mind's eye what exactly I'm fearful of. Because if there's one thing during this pandemic that runs through all of our veins, is fear, and why do you suppose that is? Well, of course, it's really easy answer, because it's a fear of the unknown. There's no playbook for this. We don't have a previous era in the recent past that we can go back through and be like, well, this is how it was handled before. This is all unprecedented. And God, I hate the word unprecedented, don't we hear that enough on the news and on the internet, but it is truly an unprecedented situation. I should look up at thesaurus and find a new word for unprecedented. You know, I'm going to do that because I'm sick of that word, and I know you guys probably are too, because we hear it all the time. And so that for during that 10 minutes, I after, after, I come out of my visualization and devotional meditation, in my journal, I write down what I am fearful of. And then after I write it down, being a Virgo very being very much logical and left brain, did many respond in many respects, I evaluate if there's any rationality in these fears. And so I'll share with you one of my fears from the first day that I did this, and it was simply getting coronavirus. And exactly what I wrote down after the fact was, Is this a rational fear of mine? Yes, it's rational. I don't want to get it. And then I deep dive. Okay, so it is rational. What do I do about it? Understand that very small amounts of the population get the horrible things with the coronavirus that we're that we're pummeled with in the media, and just understand that everyone else has this same fear, and it is a real fear. We could all get the coronavirus, we could all end up in a hospital, or we could have zero toe symptoms, and so that is how I get past this. Now, what's interesting about this daily devotional meditation that I'm talking about, did I cure my fear? On day one and the next day, when I did my visualization for 10 minutes and journaled my fears, was I still in fear of getting the coronavirus? Yes, yes, yes. I was yes. I am. It scares me to death. I smoked cigarettes for many years. It's been nearly 15 years since I've quit. So I worry respiratory all these things, you know, I worry. But the key, folks is I journal them and I read back my fears and irrationalize or rationalize them, and I've come a long way. No, I don't want to get coronavirus. No, I don't want to go to the hospital. But I've come to realize that nobody else does, and we all share that fear, and it's okay and it's going to be okay. So that's one thing I do for my structuring of my day, and that's first thing in the morning when I wake up, the next thing I have committed to do during this time of shutdown and isolation is to read and learn something new. And I have to tell you, this has been the hardest one to stick with or get inspired to do, and let's talk about that. So about me? I am an oil painter. I love art. I also am a colored pencil artist, and I have an art studio dedicated to that hobby. And when I say hobby, it's because it's nothing to do with any professional work. For me, it's something I do to escape. And at the beginning of this, I said, Oh my gosh, I'll get to finish some of those paintings and maybe start up some new stuff. I've been working on some tarot card paintings and stuff I haven't picked up a paintbrush one time. And I know we're all familiar with this notion of, you know, we fantasize, pre pandemic, you know, it would be wonderful to take two weeks off work and just lock ourselves in our house and think about all the stuff, all getting done, and how fun that will be, and that probably will, would have been true, but there's something different when you are forced to live in your house in a pandemic, that makes you a little less inspired. And so I've struggled with that. I'm getting better. I have started doing some painting, and I actually started this podcast. We'll talk about that at the end of the section. So I have done some new things, but what I did commit to do was to read and learn something new every day. And for me, runes, casting. Runes have a couple books, and I've been studying them. They I sell them in my store, and I'm familiar with rune symbols. I use them in candle magick all the time. When I do candle magick workshops and events at Raven's cauldron, I hand out the rune symbols and their meanings for carving into the candle and all that stuff. But it's never been something that I felt like I was that on solid ground, solid footing with it was something I knew and understood, but never really practiced it. And I thought what a perfect way for me to spend some of this time. And so I read a couple books. I'm still finishing, one on runes. And really, I don't want to be a runecaster. I don't want to practice with runes all the time. That's not what I'm after here, but what I am after is having quality conversation and fellowship with my friends and customers at ravens cauldron and understand their practice of casting runes. And I have several runes are very popular here, and so that's been really, really good for me. All right. The other thing that I did is revamped my altar at home. Now we hear this word altar, and everyone wants you know it's nothing more than a sacred space in your house devoted to your craft, whatever your craft is. And so I want to tell you what I've done for mine. I completely took everything off of my altar that was there and started over. So as we know, tarot cards. And Tarot reading is my friend, tarot, it's such a big deal for me, and so I wanted to represent all of these suits and elemental representations in the tarot deck. So we have four suits in a tarot deck, and those four suits are represented by four elements. So we have Pentacles represented by Earth, wands represented by fire, swords represented by air, cups represented by water. And so on my altar I put a crystal representing Earth and what I did with that crystal, like I do in these podcasts, I've been working with crystals for a very long time, but let's be honest. I you know, you don't work with all of them every day. And so whatever crystal I put on there, which in my case was Celestite, which I will be featuring in. An upcoming episode, episode of this podcast, and it really got to know Celestite, again, its metaphysical properties, how it feels in my hand, how I feel when I remove it from my altar and carry it with me throughout the day. What does it mean to me? Is it a crystal in my toolkit that I'm going to use on the regular? You know, we have intimate relationships with some of these crystals, or is it something I'm going to use for a special need? Number two, I put a candle, and I used color representation and coordination with the candle. I change it out on my altar. That is the element of fire, and it simply means to get inspired. And so for me, let's go back to that oil painting. Let's go back to this podcast. Inspiration. I'm drawing energy from the universe to inspire me, because right now, I was at a lull three incense, Element of Air helps me stay focused and get spiritual. Anytime I use aromatherapy, whether it be diffusing an essential oil or burning incense, it really does put me in the mood and set the stage for connecting with the divine, if you will. And it's something that I was just forgetting about doing in my own home, because I'm at my store all the time, and I do that all day long in the store, I burn incense and diffuse various custom essential oil blends. But now that I was at home, I was missing and then four I just put a beautiful Chalice of water on my altar, and that is for me to evaluate and deconstruct my feelings and emotions at the current time, when I'm sitting at my sacred space water, is all about flow of emotions and what I am feeling, and I trace that back To my morning ritual of meditation in addressing my fears head on, facing them, looking at them, and determining whether or not it is something that I really, truly do need to be fearful of. So again, to summarize, set up a sacred space, an altar in your house. You don't have to do the four elemental representations like I did. If that sounds like something that's interesting to you, by all means, do do what we do you. You know, one recurring theme in our craft, and I say this all the time, and I will never stop saying it, is that there are no rules. What works for me may not work for you, and there's not a thing wrong with that, friends. Okay, finally, I wanted to do one more thing to kind of ground my days as these days turned into double digit days and weeks went by. I wanted to just not look back at that time and and be like, Yeah, I watched a lot of news and I ate a lot of Cheez Its and it was awful, because I that's just waste, and I don't want to waste anything, let alone time, our most precious, precious resource. And so I wanted to start a new ritual for me. And so the ritual that I did is actually pretty interesting, and I want to share it with each of you. I'm going to actually pack it up. I have spell jars in my store right now. I currently have a prosperity spell kit, and it's in a hand painted mason jar that has been distressed, and it has all the materials to do a prosperity spell. So the one that's in my store right now is actually a puppet based spell where you actually use gold thread, green fabric, and sew a pop it and stuff it with herbs and crystals and essential oils. And I have that all in a spell for you when you purchase that. And so I wanted to do something at home like that for me and see how it works, and then package it up for the grand reopening of our world. And so little bit of background information. I do have a boa constrictor from Madagascar, a Dumas boa. Her name is Griselda, and I collect her skins, and I save them, and they're very powerful in spell crafting. And so the ritual for me was to take one of her skins, she's about four feet long, and divided into eight pieces. I only chose eight because, on a numeral numerological scale, it's close to 10 to achieving the goal, but it's not quite there, because I am a work in progress. So I would never do 10, because that says that I've reached the goal. And I've never reached the goal. I'm a work in progress, like we all are, and so I divided it into eight pieces. And when I do this ritual, it's an eight day ritual. I take one piece of that skin and I write down something that I want to shed. So the first thing for me was when. Eight I've packed on the five to 10 covid 19 pounds from being in my house. And we all know every time we walk by the refrigerator when we're in isolation, at least most of my friends, the refrigerator seems to call to us. Nothing's changed, but we open it and look and grab something or grab some snacks. And so that was the first thing I did, and I've already completed the entire ritual, and so I won't go through everything I did, but it's behaviors, elements of our life, whatever that I want to shed, because this snake skin is the snake sheds its skin to enable growth. They can't grow any further until they shed that skin. And so it's such a great symbolic thing. And so I did that, and then I packaged that up and put it back to the earth. I put it in house plants. I have a lot of house plants in my house, and so I put the piece of skin in a different plant and absorb it back into the earth, and use the nutrients from that shed snake skin to nourish a plant. But it's also symbolic of what I want to shed. And so as a result of my first of eight sections on this snake skin, I actually started yoga again, and I started some cardio vascular workouts as well me and my partner. And so I used to be a yoga aficionado, did all kinds of hardcore Ashtanga and all that stuff in the news. Life got a hold of me, and I got busy, and I stopped doing it, and it has been so healing just that one thing. And it took me this ritual of taking this snake skin and dividing it into eight pieces to shed light on the fact that I was missing something from my life and what it was, and I hated every minute of it the first time I did it like I'm human, like the rest of you. I love yoga, and I love the feeling when I'm done with it, but when I'm locked in my house, I'm like, do I want to do yoga for an hour, or do I want to sit and watch TV and eat bonbons? Of course, I want to watch TV and eat bonbons, but I made myself do it. I'm doing it three times a week, and I've incorporated cardio as well, and I'm feeling great. My lower back pain is doing better, and my overall cardiovascular fitness is feeling better. I sincerely, sincerely recommend trying something like this. If you don't have access to a snake skin, I, by all means, can get you one in my store when it opens. If not, it's just symbolic. Use pieces of paper. Divide a piece of paper into eight pieces, whatever you wish to do to curate your own ritual for self care and self promotion, self healing. It's been a wonderful journey so far, friends, I hope you've enjoyed this little brief synopsis of how I have gotten past a spiritual void during covid 19 and the pandemic we're all experiencing today. I want to talk about serpentine. I'm actually holding a piece of serpentine right now. It's a favorite stone of mine, just for its unique look. For those that don't know this crystal or gemstone, it has a light green color to it kind of has a waxy look, with dark green and pockets of clear quartz like deposits in it as well. And when you zoom out and look at it from afar, it actually resembles a snake skin, and it's a very powerful stone. And I just wanted to quickly wrap up today by talking about serpentine. First and foremost, it is represented by the element of fire. And I'm kind of dwelling on fire right now because of spring, and our creative juices are starting to bubble over and flow, and it's a great element to focus on. This time of year, the energy wrapped around serpentine is 100% protective. It can protect against psychic attacks. It can protect against, of all things, poisonous bites from creatures, whether they be snakes, mosquitoes, scorpions. That's the ancient belief with Serpentine, and that's what it was revered as for many, many years. And one use I have for serpentine is I have serpentine rough, a piece of serpentine that weighs like 10 pounds. It's a beautiful green color, no polish. It's got the dark green veins through it. It's lovely. And I put it out on a deck, on a table when we eat outside in the summer. To protect against mosquitoes and ward off mosquitos. Kind of think about using candles to do so, you know, citronella, but I use this as more of a natural approach, and it's been extremely helpful, but its core being why you would carry this stone of Serpentine, and why you would have it in your toolkit is because of protection. And a very solid example for me is I have weeks where I swear off alcohol, like I just want to purge, you know, and not have any alcohol in my body for a period of time. Now, I should tell you that we go out to eat a lot. Well, certainly not now, of course, but during ordinary times, I should say we go out to eat a lot, because my shop closes at seven, so by the time I clean up and get ready for closing, it's 730 quarter till eight. That doesn't leave a lot of time to go home and fire up the stove and cook and eat at nine o'clock, right? And I certainly am not always so organized that I do meal planning. So we end up at restaurants a lot, and during that time, it's real easy to order craft beers and craft cocktails. And who doesn't love them? I mean, I don't know. I do so on those weeks that I don't want to drink any alcohol, I carry serpentine with me. And it's, again, it's that protective warding off nature and energy that radiates from it, and what it's all about that really does help, and I really use it as a medicinal stone to carry with me. For that, it can keep you, keep things at bay. For you, it also works for dieting, to keep you out of temptation. And really, its metaphysical properties are all about the serpent and snake venom and how we can derive medicine from that snake venom, and how it's extracted anti venom and different medicines to cure ailments, and that, in my is really the heart and soul of serpentine and why you would use it. So again, I want to say, you know, these are a toolkit, a litany of stones that we have in our toolkit, and as much as we can learn about them and adjust what we need, the better we will be. So again, this week is Serpentine, and that's really all I wanted to say about it. It's just a very protective stone to carry with you in times of need, and also to ward off insect and creature bites. I do have friends also that don't want unwanted creatures and their gardens to put big chunks of serpentine rough out too. And you get a two fold reward on that, because you not only get Wooding off of insects that you don't want around, but it's such a beautiful stone too, and the energy from it is completely different. And I want to point that out too. Like you can pick up a piece of clear course, and feel the it almost feels like it's vibrating in your hand. The Serpentine has a very warm feeling to it. It doesn't feel cold when you pick it up, but it's a very flat energy. It's not like raising your vibration like the quartz family does, clear quartz, especially, or Amethyst and Citrine, that type of thing, but it's rather like a soothing balm feeling, if you will, which, again, is what a you know from a medicinal standpoint, if you believe in this and you're carrying crystals, that's exactly what it's for. It's again, representative of the serpent itself and extracting the venom and putting it to our good use to ward it off and ward off other poisons in our world. And that, my friends, in a nutshell, is your mini deep dive on serpentine. I hope that you have a piece of Serpentine, or get you a piece to use when you may need it. We have reached the end of Episode Two. Came pretty quick for me. I love to talk about these topics. It is the foundation of my life, as you already know. And I hope that you're gaining valuable wisdom from listening and tuning in and deepening your practice, whatever your practice is again. I am Brian Campbell. I own and operate ravens cauldron in Delaware, Ohio. We can be found at 110 South Sandusky Street in Delaware, Ohio. Find me online@ravenscaldren.com follow us on Facebook. At facebook.com, forward slash ravens cauldron, Delaware, or you can follow us on Instagram, at ravenscaldren, as I was talking about earlier, I do daily two card Tarot combination, many deep dives to share with my audience how to use the cards to tell a story if you want to really get down to brass tacks with Tarot. You know, any one of us can memorize and look up single meetings of a tarot card, but where you really start to understand the richness and depth of a 78 card, tarot deck, especially when you're reading reversals, is to be able to weave together two or more cards and tell a story for what the universal message is trying to say. When you read with me in person or online, if you do an online reading with me, I often do 10 plus card draws and spreads like a Celtic cross and weave together all those positions to really get down to grassroots and deep dive with my clients on what they want to know. Again, it's such a wonderful, wonderful practice, and I hope it's enriching your lives by learning a little bit, by listening to this podcast and hopefully following my page. Again, I wish each and every one of you nothing but the best I am Brian and I look forward to episode three coming Next Friday. Blessed Be You.
