    In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Chelle and Laylla dive into the art of divination for the dark half of the year. As Samhain fades and the veil is still thin, it’s the perfect time to look ahead at what the months between now and Beltane might hold. Inspired by Chelle’s new charm collection, they explore the fascinating world of charm casting—an ancient form of divination that’s experiencing a magical revival. They chat about how to curate your own set of charms, interpret each one’s unique symbolism, and even how to combine charms with tarot for layered readings. To wrap up the episode, the witches perform a personal reading for each other, setting intentions and gaining insight to carry them through winter into spring. Join them for an enchanting journey of intuition, inspiration, and preparing for the dark months ahead.

    87: Mother of Modern Tarot - Pamela Coleman Smith
    Nov 1 2024

    Send us a text

    Laylla and Chelle honor the life and legacy of Pamela Colman Smith, the brilliant artist behind the iconic Rider-Waite-Smith (or what Laylla calls the Smith-Waite) tarot deck. Overlooked until recently, Pamela’s work has influenced countless readers and seekers for over a century, yet her story remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

    Join the witches as they delve into Pamela’s life as a (possibly) queer, (possibly) mixed-race artist and occultist, her connections with the Golden Dawn, and the fascinating symbolism she infused into each card. They’ll explore how Pamela’s vision transformed tarot into a visual language that continues to inspire modern witchcraft and divination.

    Tune in as they celebrate this powerful ancestress and unsung hero of tarot, uncovering the artistry, spirit, and intuition she brought to her craft—and why she deserves a place of honor in the hearts of all who read the cards. This episode is a beautiful blend of history, homage, and magic, perfect for connecting with the spirit of an artist who forever changed the world of tarot.

I love these girls!

This podcast really speaks to me as somebody who has also recently got back on the broomstick myself! It’s a relaxed podcast with the kind of open minded and understanding nature of what works for the individual rather than a set of rules to follow. As long as your intent is there which is refreshing after the rigid rules I followed in my newbie days!! It also made me realise that although I did back away from my craft for many years, my intent was always there, my magic working quietly in the background! Great work ladies, loving the show! A menopausal Guernsey witch from the UK!
