The Jo DeVoe Show

HAPPY NEW MOON WEEKEND… and welcome back to The Jo DeVoe Show. The topic here for today is The Chariot card as the next step in our Journey Through The Major Arcana , and together we will be exploring ideas like:- The body as a chariot being pulled along by the whims of the subconscious in contrast to the aims of the soul.- The ego mind as a charioteer.- The importance of consistently moving in on...

HAPPY FALL, y’all! And welcome back to The Jo DeVoe Show… The topic here for today is The Lovers card as the next step in our Journey Through The Major Arcana , and together we will be exploring ideas like: - Tarot as a living art that grows and changes along with us. - The call back to Source as a reunion. - The eternal nature of Soul. - The “shame” of being seen in our innocence. - The mirror-li...

Welcome back to The Jo DeVoe Show! The topic here for today is The Hierophant card as the next step in our 22 part Journey Through The Major Arcana. And it’s gonna be a weird one! For some reason, death kept coming up for me when contemplating The Hierophant. I think it’s because death is both inevitable and a mystery. We don’t know (not for a measurable fact) what happens to us when we pass away....

Sometimes The Emperor card comes up in a reading as a confrontation with The Patriarchy. Sometimes it’s a call to heal The Father Wound. Other times it’s a reminder of your own power. The Emperor, at its best and as it applies to your own personal development, is about self authority, strong boundaries, and refusing to be a victim of life... even when life is unfair or you feel like you’ve been ha...

Welcome back to A Journey Through The Major Arcana! With a focus here today on The Empress card, we will be exploring ideas like : * what The Empress might have in common with Scarlett O’Hara * ruling your life from a flowy, feminine, naturally abundant place * embodiment as an embrace of nature’s elements * the link between environmentalism and the mother wound * tending to your body and home as...

Some things cannot be unseen. And the Scry sees everything. I’d always known there was something wrong with me. “She’s got the Scry,” I’d overheard them say when they thought I was too young to understand. But I understood plenty. The Scry didn’t hurt anyone unless I got angry, which was hardly ever. Mostly it let me see into a person’s mind—if they held still long enough. The cards helped with th...

One thing I noticed while editing this episode is that I originally did not mention the distinction between the Unconscious vs the Subconscious models of the mind. That’s because I tend to use those terms interchangeably, which is also how early psychologists like Sigmund Freud used them. But modern psychology does make a distinction. It says that the conscious mind is what we’re actively thinking...

I've long gotten a kick out of the slang word “delulu.”It's just too cute. Delulu. And there are many folks who happily embrace it. They will proudly claim to be delulu. And they will encourage YOU to be delulu, too. But let’s not forget that “delulu” is short for delusional. And that is not cute. To delude means to deceive. And a delusional person is one who has been deceived or misled. In fact,...

This is the first episode of a 22 part series I created for Patreon, starting back in the spring of 2022… and now I am sharing it here with you! With a focus on The Fool card in the Major Arcana , we will be exploring ideas like : * Reading tarot from the perspective of your inner Witness. * The need to develop a working language that blends your unique personal creativity with more traditional di...

I love tarot and have been reading cards for myself since I got my first deck way back in 2008 in a little cabin-like shop in Big Sur California… back when I had no idea what I was doing, but was also extremely fired up to find out. It was exciting - that first tarot deck. And a little bit dangerous. It seemed so very… OCCULT. Which, of course, was part of its appeal. I was a little bit afraid of...

Today is Thursday, April 2nd 2026, which means yesterday was Fool’s Day! And I mean that in a Major Arcana-esque way. Energetically we are in the Season of Foolishness, Aries Season , a season for bursting forth with fresh energy, launching new things with perhaps more passion than foresight and getting busy with that infamous phenomenon known as spring fever. I recently- just in passing online -...

Slow growth does not mean playing small, and if you start each day by asking : What’s today’s edge? What’s the next right step I can take today? And then you actually take that step, your life is going to expand and evolve at an appropriate but nonetheless remarkable rate. You’re just doing the next thing that’s right in front of you, right on the edge, right outside your comfort zone aka The Zone...

Rapid growth isn’t always quality growth, especially if it leaves you collapsing in on yourself. In fact, that’s not growth at all! Not if it kills your dreams and burns you out. Micro-dosing expansion is about taking one right-sized, soul-aligned step at a time, with the emphasis on who you are becoming rather than racing to the finish line, only to feel frazzled, lost and out of your depth when...

Something weird and cool happens when you work with an archetype for many years. It starts to change along with you. This makes sense if you look at archetypes as universal patterns of energy that are uniquely expressing through the different parts of your personality. As you grow, they grow. This is particularly true if you find one lurking in the shadows and decide to raise it up with care. It i...

Have you ever felt divided against yourself? Like one part of you longs to break free, to have this fresh, expansive experience, while another part refuses to let you go there? I have. Many times. I know how frustrating it can be. It’s as though the resistant part of you is strangely out of reach, yet it has this incredible undertow that keeps pulling you back down into the familiar way things hav...

Remember… every archetype has its light and shadows. But that is best understood as the light of awareness and then, of course, a lack of it. When I am talking about The Queen archetype, I am talking about an aware and deliberate use of this energy. 👑 If you haven't done so already, don't forget to pick up my free 3 part video series YOU. ARE. A. QUEEN. 👑 And if you're ready to go deeper with th...

The word authenticity gets thrown around a lot in spiritual and personal growth circles, which is fair enough, because authenticity is key to establishing appropriate, fulfilling relationships and a career that you actually enjoy. It’s the essence of soul alignment and the best foundation from which to set intentions and goals. But as a concept it can feel a bit abstract. And finding YOUR authenti...

You are not a machine. You are not a computer. You are a unique expression of The Divine, a moving, breathing, feeling child of Nature. As long you are here on this planet, you are capable of growth and change. Stay rooted in the soil of your rich inner life, tending to it like a precious garden, and keep expanding by the light of awareness. The nourishment is in the soil. The growth is in the lig...

Ever wonder why you trip up, flake out or suddenly lose interest in something you really-really want right as things finally start going your way? Or maybe you’ve watched in awe (or horror) as someone you love keeps bailing on themself like that. Seriously… why? Why is this even a thing? That is the question I aim to answer in this week’s episode of the podcast, diving heart-first into the messy,...

Hello, friends… I’ve got a new podcast episode for you! Or maybe not for you? It’s not for everyone. It’s a very specific message, a gentle nudge and support for the me I was fifteen years ago. And it might also be for you if you’ve been quietly wrestling with a relationship that’s wearing you down and you feel like you’ve tried every trick in the book to hold it together, when deep down inside yo...

Hi friends... I am in the process of moving my entire podcast archive to a new hosting platform - hopefully Substack, if all goes well.
