Every time we do a Tarot reading, we have a choice.   We can think of a spread to use. Maybe we look into our book and go, "OK, what's a funky little spread I could do?" Or we jump onto Pinterest perhaps and look up Tarot spreads, and think, "Well, which one will I use today?"   Or we can start creating our own spreads. And this is clearly my favourite way, because it allows you to focus on the he...

On today's episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast, we're talking about significator cards and how you can start using them in your Tarot readings.   Now, I have to be honest: I do not use significator cards in my readings unless I'm doing maybe the Celtic Cross, where it's actually part of the reading, because I find that the Tarot reading in and of itself gives me enough information. However, I know...
