In this quick review, Ettie talks about Talismans & Tarot by Lori Lytle . This charming book (no pun intended) integrates the use of tarot with the creation of personal magical objects to enhance one's intentions in their magical practice. Talismans & Tarot not only provides substantial resource for all 78 cards, but serves as a guidebook for creating a talisman from start to finish with thoughtful ritual suggestions, consecration and working with them.
This book was provided by Weiser Books, but the review and thoughts contained in it are honest.
Hang out with Ettie every Thursday and Saturday evening on Twitch to talk tarot and play games with tarot; Locally check out their classes at The Chattery teaching tarot classes in October!

Le Tarot aux ramures étranges with Emily (thelauvster)
This week on Wildly Tarot, Emily guests hosts with Ettie. They talk about how Emily got into Tarot through the knitting pattern Reliquary and the two of them geek out over their similar background and hobbies that include D&D, Smut, and how ACAB Brennan Lee Mulligan is in Dimension 20
Question of the week is What are your desert island decks, ones you would bring and ones you would burn? Emily and Ettie have opinions so join us on discord to discuss what decks you would bring to the island and which you would toss into the fire. Also join the discord to see the infamous 'butt plug' cover for the Archetypes Deck Ettie mentioned when diving deep into Kim Krans lore.
The deck of the week is the Le Tarot aux ramures étranges or 'The Tarot of the Strange Branches' or 'The Tarot of the Strange Antlers'.
From research, this French deck can be found on Amazon but if you have a local tarot store, see if they can order it for you to purchase from them!
This absolutely magical deck is alluring, charming and yet elusive with its artistry challenging readers to think outside the Rider Waite Smith norms and explore the mystical fae-esque world created by Rouxalis.
Don't forget to support Emily by following them on Instagram and going to your local library during the month of September.
Watch Ettie every Thursday and Saturday evening on Twitch and locally, at The Chattery teaching tarot classes in September and October!

The Outdoors Oracle
In this episode, Ettie is excited to share the contents of the most recent patreon solstice box that was sent out in June, highlighting the curated items they gathered for their bee themed box.
Special Thanks to Portland Bee Balm, Mimic Gaming Company, A Nature Unknown, and Little Darkness for making some of the amazing products in the summer solstice box.
The deck review of the episode covers the second edition of the staggering 84 card deck, The Outdoors Oracle. This deck includes a 6-sided merit die, topo map, and a 220 page guidebook a perfect oracle for avid outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.
This deck is so extremely thoughtful in its execution, but there are a few trigger warnings as some of the cards do allude to hunting, poaching, and other forms of violence. These things are not graphically depicted in images, but they are mentioned in meanings for some of the cards so please take care listening.
