Show by Molly Davis

The Ten of Wands has appeared on this podcast three times.The first time, we pushed it off a cliff. The second time, we pushed it off a cliff. And then Marisel came along....This week I’m joined by my very dear friend Marisel; embodiment guide, yoga teacher and female-centred psychotherapist, who, despite not being a tarot reader herself, somehow manages to completely transform my relationship with one of the most maligned cards on this podcast.Marisel’s work is deeply rooted in the feminine psyche and soma, guiding women through somatic and contemplative pathways towards reconnection with the wholeness within. And that relationship with the body, devotion and the subtle intelligence of our lived experience becomes such a beautiful lens through which to encounter these cards.Our cards:🪙 Eight of Pentacles❤️ Two of Cups🔥 Ten of WandsWhat follows is a conversation about devotion, eroticism, relationship, feminine self-sacrifice, staying connected to ourselves while loving another person, and what it means to let our work become an expression of something sacred.And then Marisel tells me that she once entered a cave dedicated to the god Pan near Delphi and found, sitting on an altar at the centre of the cave, the Ten of Wands.Which changes everything.Somehow the card of burden and burnout becomes an encounter with wildness, the body, devotion, surrender and the possibility of allowing something bigger than ourselves to carry what has become too heavy.And suddenly the Ten of Wands is...hot?Our final decisions:🔥 Fuck: Ten of Wands💍 Marry: Eight of Pentacles🪨 Push Off a Cliff: Two of CupsYes. We pushed the traditional romance card off a cliff. But only the version of it that asks us to dilute ourselves in order to be loved.Marisel offers a beautiful exploration of what it might mean for two people to meet while allowing both cups to remain full; particularly within cultures where women have been socialised towards self-sacrifice and attunement to the needs of others.And by the end of the episode, I'm apparently offering my wands to Pan at an altar.So...things escalated.Want to make some questionable decisions of your own?Tarot After Dark: Second Date is out now... and completely free. 💋Second Date brings together the original Tarot After Dark games alongside a whole collection of brand-new ones, all designed to get us out of simply interpreting the cards and into relationship with them.Because sometimes asking “What does this card mean?” gets us somewhere interesting. And sometimes asking “Would I fuck this card?” gets us there considerably faster.Underneath the ridiculousness, we're exploring desire, projection, attraction, resistance and what happens when our own lived experience meets an archetype.Grab a deck. Make some terrible decisions. See what they tell you.

She guides women in exploring somatic and contemplative pathways of reconnection to the wholeness within.Deeply devoted to tending the feminine psyche and soma, she has spent over a decade teaching and holding spaces where women can deepen their relationship with themselves and with the subtle wisdom and intelligence of their living, breathing, sensitive bodies.About your hostI'm Molly, creator of Bone & Mirror Tarot.My approach to tarot is rooted in depth psychology, embodiment, mythology and transpersonal psychology. Rather than predicting the future, I see the cards as mirrors; doorways into understanding ourselves, our stories and the archetypes that shape our lives.Boner & Mirror Tarot is the cheeky little sibling of that work.We take tarot seriously; we just don't take ourselves too seriously.
