In the second episode of tender tarot, we learn about the energy of the first card in the tarot, the fool.

What can we learn from the fool card? what are some examples of fool energy? how are humor and authenticity connected to trauma? how can we tend to the fear the comes from jumping into the unknown?

topic: context and history

On the very first episode of tender tarot, we explore the roots of the tarot and set the foundation for this podcast.

what are tarot's origins? where did it emerge as a practice and how did it extend it's roots to now be such a widely used tool for divination and healing?

We will time travel to 1400s Italy, learn about the Roma people who engaged in fortune telling as a survival trade, what Carl Jung and tarot have in common and discover the long and winding path the tarot has taken to get us to where we are today.

I'll also give a basic overview of trauma, trauma healing and it's neurobiology and offer gratitude to my teachers, without whom I wouldn't be able to create this podcast.
