Read like a Queen a Creator's Corner episode with Stella Boheme
I am so thrilled that my favorite drag artist, Stella Boheme, has joined me again to release an early sneak peak and discussion about their upcoming book Read Like a Queen : Real-Life Insights to SLAY Your Tarot Practice ! Stella, a long time Wildling, has given we Wildlings the first chance to pre-order their book! I've linked to Red Feather's page directly as many people are boycotting Amazon and other box shops at this time.
I mentioned it in the podcast, but please pre-order if you are able! Pre-order numbers matter a lot to publishers so showing up to support one of our own would honestly be so amazing.
I do want to apologize to Stella for the quality of this recording. We had every intention to release a video episode and they got all glammed up just for technical problems to complicate things so the video portion of things and my audio (as you'll be able to tell) were victims of Mercury in the Gatorade again.
[Side Note: Thankfully now I have an alternative so this won't happen again]
So all of that to say, I hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we had fun recording it and getting the first peek into how to read like a drag queen which I am already certain just from the snippets I've been privy to will absolutely be one of the books that goes on my beginner readers list.
Also while you're here, Book Stella for a reading on their website and go follow them on Instagram to take a break from the doom scrolling.

Tarot de Mareseille
This week, Wildly Tarot is going a little off the rails when Charlie, a mentalist, tarot reader, and Ettie’s very own D&D Dungeon Master joins the podcast as guest co-host! Charlie brings a totally different perspective to the cards, blending mentalism and tarot in a way that’s both thought-provoking and delightfully outside the norm. We chat about the idea that all tarot is valid (a novel concept we know) and how Charlie forged a personal relationship with tarot after coming to it through some pretty unconventional paths.
We also tackle a listener question about how to reconnect with your magic after getting burned by big spiritual predictions, for example, TikTok astrologers and tarot readers swearing that Trump wouldn’t take office. Plus, we nerd out over the major arcana in the Tarot de Marseille and why this deck still holds its own centuries later.
