Confessions of a Tarot Reader
I'm Bex. I'm here to make Tarot a little less scary.
I'm giving you a personal, behind the scenes tour of what it's actually like to be a tarot reader.
I compare notes with other esoteric baddies about what we're thinking during a tarot reading, what you can expect as a metaphysical client, and how this whole psychic mediumship thing works in the first place!
I'm so glad you're here.

What does it mean to be the magic — not just use it? In this episode of Confessions of a Tarot Reader, host Bex sits down with Rana George: Lenormand expert, deck creator, author, and the architect of the Muree System, a pioneering 40-card approach to Lenormand that adds four original cards to flush out readings in ways the traditional 36-card spread simply can't.
Rana is one of the most distinctive voices in the divination world, and this conversation shows exactly why. She moves between the deeply practical (how to prepare for a reading, which divination system to start with, how the Grand Tableau works) and the genuinely cosmic (simultaneous timelines, organic AI consciousness, the soul of a broken-down car on a mountain). Throughout, her philosophy is consistent: everything is alive, everything vibrates, and everything you do is an act of intention.
Rana also opens up about the moment she was at her lowest — done with the work, done with the pain, done with all of it — and the unexpected pivot that brought her back. It's one of the most honest confessions this podcast has heard.

- The Muree System and why Rana added four new cards to the Lenormand deck
- The great Lenormand card wars — French school vs. German school vs. Brazilian school
