Show by Jenny C. Bell

Send us Fan MailHappy Samhain! For the month of November, we will be exploring different divination practices each episode. Today we begin with the Tarot. We can lean into first of the month energy with simple, realistic witchcraft you can actually do. I also share why November feels naturally reflective and how that mood can support ancestral connection and inner child healing without forcing a big, perfect ritual.From there, we dive into tarot reading as a practical divination tool, especially if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by “78 cards to memorize.” We talk tarot history (yes, Italy), why the Rider Waite Smith system shows up everywhere, and why Pamela Colman Smith deserves to be named. I break down how tarot works through archetypes, symbolism, and story, plus what to do if you only want to pull one card or why I like tarot spreads.We also get honest about fear cards and beginner anxiety. Death, Tower, Three of Swords, Nine of Swords, and Ten of Swords can be intense, but they also offer clear medicine if you know what to ask next. I share my approach to choosing a deck, cleansing with smoke or selenite, skipping reversals, reading for other people, and even using tarot in spells and crystal grids so the cards become a living language, not a test.If this resonates, subscribe so you don’t miss the rest of our divination series, share this with a friend who’s tarot-curious, and leave a review so more witches can find Cozy Coven Chats.
