The Cards You're Dealt

I am turning 40 today. I’m like, whoa.

If there’s someone I’d like to talk about all of what big birthdays mean, it’s Theresa Reed. Luckily for me, I got to talk to her for the third time on the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, concerning her latest book The Cards You’re Dealt: How to Deal When Life Gets Real.

This is a book about Tarot, and it will scratch every itching question that asks, “Can I really ask the cards that?”

Not only that, but this is a fiercely practical guide that will hold your hand as you face these questions. It will give you accessible understanding and WORDS in the face of life’s events that often rob us of speech.

Plus, Theresa, aka the Tarot Lady, is just fun and comfortable to talk to. Her voice, as in all her books, comes through familiar and warm like a best friend. She shares herself and her true life experience so you don’t feel so alone.

Our conversation delves into specific chapters of the book, such as dealing with death and dying, pregnancy loss, ends of relationships, and serious illnesses. Theresa provides examples of tarot spreads and exercises, like the "Words Left Unsaid" journaling exercise, to help individuals process their feelings and regrets.

Additional topics include: How Tarot can be used for personal reflection, Tarot for caregiving, Tarot for coping with collective grief, finding empowerment and resilience with the cards, how to ask health related questions, and facilitating difficult conversations with children.

Theresa explains that she wrote this book to fill a gap in Tarot literature, providing interpretations, spreads, and professional advice for readers dealing with challenging circumstances. I am sure you will treasure Theresa’s personal experiences and insights as they highlight the role of Tarot in processing emotions we may have hereto thought impossible to approach.
