Pull up a chair as Maria Alviz Hernando joins us for a kitchen-table chat on tarot, Lenormand, her amazing and exciting book Tarot Tableau Revolution, career choices, and the unexpected wisdom (and chaos) of life with cats.

https://www.thesibylstarot.com

María's tarot journey began circa 2006, after she bought a deck behind her parent's back that she hasn't put back ever since. What started as a hobby, turned into a passion that eventually became her full-time occupation in late 2015. In 2017, she established herself as The Sibyl's Tarot. At present, María is a reader of multiple systems, divination teacher, international speaker and author of Tarot Tableau Revolution published by Weiser Books.

Her signature style, known as Tarot Tableau, blends traditional tarot and European cartomantic techniques, resulting in a system that aims to make tarot effective, useful, and to the point. As a reader, she employs a combination of prediction and analysis, exploring the possibilities available and offering actionable steps to provide her querents with a 360º perspective on their situation, aiming to give readings that are practical and relevant to their situation.

While tarot is her default medium of divination, she enhances her practice with other divinatory systems, with Lenormand and the Oracle Belline being two big favorites. She has designed three decks; The Oracle Belline Reimagined, The Thinning Veil Oracle, and The Oracle of Victorian Symbols and Gothic Tales. She has also been a colaborator in the guidebook of The Voice & Vision Tarot by Ciro Marchetti.

As one of the Directors of the World Divination Association María is dedicated to promoting the love for divination worldwide. The World Divination association is a passionate and easy-going international community of diviners of all walks of life that provides high-quality, accessible education in traditional divination systems, fostering a supportive and engaging network of like-minded peers around the globe.

Education is a cornerstone of her work, offering a number of recorded and live classes, one-on-one mentoring options, and speaking at diverse divination conferences internationally like StaarCon, TABI Summer Conference or The Oracles Rebellion in April 2026.

Beyond her undying love for tarot reading, María indulges in her other passions, including history and antiques, especially the world of antique jewelry, literature, cross-stitching, travel, and spoiling her bratty cats. She is based in Madrid and resides with her husband, acting as the live-in servants of their five entitled kitties with an extraordinary skill to steal and chew cards.

Pull up a chair at the kitchen table this episode is a living hearth conversation.

In this special Imbolc gathering, we explore the deeper magic behind the season of first light, sacred fire, and quiet awakening. We talk about our upcoming Imbolc event and why there is still time to join, what participants will walk away with, and how these ancient seasonal rites still reshape modern life in practical, grounded ways.

We move beyond the surface of Imbolc and into the mysteries

• surprising Imbolc facts most people never hear
• the forgotten symbolism of hearth and home altars
• tree lore tied to renewal and threshold magic
• powerful herbs everyone knows but forgotten ways to use them especially modernly
• myths and legends of Brigid, flame, wells, and poetic inspiration
• overlooked everyday plant and tree allies
• modern unused folk practices that prevent burnout and restore clarity

This is not lecture it’s a fireside dialogue. A remembering and areclaiming of seasonal rhythm.

If you’ve been feeling the subtle turning of the year but didn’t know how to work with it this episode opens the door.

And yes there is still time to step into the Imbolc working with us.

The hearth is lit. There’s room at the table.

There's still time for the 8 day countdown using that energy

I am Toni, aka The Card Geek, the visionary behind World Divination. With a passion for uncovering the secrets of traditional divination, I have immersed myself in the study of Lenormand, Kipper, and Gypsy Cards across England, France, and Germany. For 15 years, I lived just steps from Munich—birthplace of the original Kipper Deck—and near Nuremberg, where the Game of Hope took root. Now settled in the heart of Northern Ireland with my two boys and partner Jane Matthews, I have spent the last decade researching Kipper, Lenormand, Gypsy Cards, and Tarot. Author of many books including; The Card Geek’s Guide to Kipper, Rainbow Kipper, Lustrous Lenormand, and Mastering the Tarot Tableau, I also created decks and courses that inspire students worldwide. My mission? To help you reconnect with the roots of these systems and unlock the art of bold, predictive readings.

On this episode of The Mystery Channel, we journey into the living heart of the Western Mysteries with Caitlín Matthews a writer, singer, shamanic practitioner and one of the world’s foremost authorities on Celtic Wisdom and ancestral European traditions.

With more than eighty books to her name, including Sophia: Goddess of Wisdom, The Celtic Book of the Dead, and Tarot Medieval, Caitlín has spent a lifetime restoring lost spiritual lineages through both rigorous scholarship and direct, embodied practice. Trained within the esoteric schools of Dion Fortune, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, and Gareth Knight, she bridges history and living tradition through soul-singing, spirit consultation, and ancestral oracles drawn directly from the land and its unseen voices.

From Celtic devotion to voice as oracle, this conversation opens a doorway into traditions that were never meant to remain silent.
