Wow, take number 22 I've tried to record this many, many times. I'm just, I'm just going to call it. This is going to be the one.

If I mess up, this is still going to be the one. Welcome to Sunflowers and Stars: Intuitive Tarot for the collective.

My name is Fiona Fletcher Reid. I'm a tarot reader. I'm a writer, and on this podcast, I'm going to be pulling tarot cards and channeling intuitive readings that speak to and about the energy of the collective. For me, this space is where tarot and self growth and spirituality work towards the common goal of collective liberation, humour. We will talk about creativity and amongst trauma, chronic pain, sexuality. It's not all love and light. It really is wherever the collective energy is at. That is where we're going to dive in.

And really what I want us to do through these readings is I want you to be able to channel into that energy yourself and figure out how to process these energies and how to alchemise them into something better or something positive, or something that feels in alignment. And also, I really wanted to create this to hold space so that we can discuss and acknowledge that through this work, we must also work to dismantle the systems that have put us here in the first place and that have winded us and that continue to wind us. You know, we're looking for liberation. What are we being liberated from as the systems that oppress us? And over the last year or so, I've been, I guess, kind of questioning the spiritual spaces that I've been a part of, and where they have lacked an acknowledgement and a validation of the oppressive systems that exist.

And so although I'm certainly no expert on this, it just felt like a real calling to start using Tarot in this way and use it as a way to connect in with source, connecting with the energies, and also channel into as we channel into that energy channel and into the collective wisdom, so that we can get some advice and some guidance and some some reassurance on on how the heck we are supposed to survive this. And we will, we will. But we can't be all loving like 24/7 we just can't it's not it's not healthy. We can't turn away from the darkness. We can't turn away from our shadow. Our shadow is there to be heard and in spiritual spaces. So often we're just told to not talk about that stuff and not to give it. You know, if we talk about it, we give it energy. I really don't believe in that. And I don't believe that us feeling frustration towards our oppressors and the systems that we are a part of. I don't believe that our frustrations around that are failings. I think they're worth examining, and they're an opportunity for growth.

I'll be using tarot cards to prompt the discussion that I have every week. I'll be channeling messages. I won't be teaching you Tarot meanings, like the meanings of tarot cards. Really, I'm just here to use that as a tool to channel messages that need to be heard, messages that I feel are important and that are prevalent to you, and all I ask is that you tune in, ready to listen, ready to confront and explore the complex truths that we are dealing with as humans right now, although we will talk about healing, I don't know if healing is always the end goal.

Healing is certainly a very big part of the journey that we're on. But to me, healing, healing is an important part of liberation, because the systems that we live in don't want us to be healed. They don't want us to recognize our own power. And so healing is an act of resistance, and it is our route to liberation. So if that sounds like something that you would like to hear about, I would love for you to tune in every two weeks and listen. I may not have all the answers, but I know that these discussions are our medicine.

Love you.

Talk to you soon. Bye.
