Creator's Corner with Shannon Christie (Sun-Steeped Oracle)
Happy Summer Solstice, and to celebrate the longest day of sunshine Ettie sits down with Shannon Christie, artist and creator of Sun-Steeped Oracle, a golden hour infused affirmation deck. This inclusive deck, created with illustrated every day objects and artistic models, is an ode to the Sun. This deck is perfect for beginners and every card is imbued with trauma informed affirmations without spiritual bypassing.
If you watch the episode on the Wildly Tarot Patreon, be on the lookout for several cats in this interview. They were absolutely a delightful surprise during our chat.
Also a side note: Shannon remembered that title of the Tarot Game that was her introduction to tarot is Bust-A-Move 4.

The question of the episode is from a listener seeking advice for an overly zealous shopping compulsion. (Don't worry! We don't give financial advice on this podcast and aren't about to start now!)
The deck of the week is the Phases and Forests Oracle deck by Katharine Ryalls. Also note that you can follow Katherine's project on Kickstarter for their upcoming mini edition of the Phases and Forests Oracle!

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.

Thoth Tarot
This week Tom Benjamin joins Ettie as guest host about an episode diving into Thoth Tarot by Aleister Crowley and artist Lady Freida Harris. Tom is the perfect guide for us as we talk about this deck throughout the episode so buckle up for all the thoughts about Crowley himself and the artwork masterfully composed by Lady Freida Harris.
The listener question for the episode asks for resources in studying Tarot escoterics while being culturally mindful and resources from that discussion are below!
Comment below of which alpha male podcaster you think Aleister Crowley would be in the modern times? Andrew Tate? Alex Jones? Or someone more left wing. These are the things we need your feedback on!
