Flipping Cards & Spilling the Tea: Tarot with Chandler Marvin + Collective Tarot Reading
Show Notes
In this episode, we’re joined by tarot reader Chandler Marvin to explore the magic, mystery, and real-life application of tarot.
Chandler shares how she discovered tarot, how she learned to read and work with the cards, and how tarot can be used as a tool for clarity, empowerment, and aligned decision-making.
We dive into the structure of the tarot deck, how intuition and logic work together in readings, and the ongoing conversation between fate and free will. Chandler also shares powerful (and sometimes unexplainable) stories from her readings, the unique personalities of different decks, and how collective energy can show up through repeating cards.
We also explore her incredibly unique offering called "house charming" where tarot meets interior design to transform the energy of your space in a practical, intuitive way.
To close out the episode, Chandler pulls a collective tarot reading for our listeners, offering guidance on stepping into your voice, embodying your authenticity, and finding strength through change and community.
