Hyperfixation – Tarot: What’s in the Cards?

Ep. 39 - Tarot cards: mystical fortune-telling tool, portal to the unknown… or a centuries-old card game that got a *very* interesting rebrand? This week, Danny deals us into the history of tarot. We’re talking about where the cards actually came from, how they became associated with divination, some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding them, and what a tarot reading is really supposed to do. We also get into tarot vs. oracle cards, because apparently they are NOT interchangeable and some of us had no idea. Then, naturally, we put the universe on the spot and pull an oracle card for each of us. 🔮 Will the cards offer profound insight? Call us out personally? Tell us to get our lives together? There’s only one way to find out. _____________________________________________________________ **FOLLOW US! We will release a historical video of the two of us that will either be cute or really cringe or maybe both, but only WHEN we reach 500 followers on one platform. So please like and subscribe!

Ep. 39 - Tarot cards: mystical fortune-telling tool, portal to the unknown… or a centuries-old card game that got a *very* interesting rebrand?

This week, Danny deals us into the history of tarot. We’re talking about where the cards actually came from, how they became associated with divination, some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding them, and what a tarot reading is really supposed to do. We also get into tarot vs. oracle cards, because apparently they are NOT interchangeable and some of us had no idea.

Then, naturally, we put the universe on the spot and pull an oracle card for each of us. 🔮

Will the cards offer profound insight? Call us out personally? Tell us to get our lives together?

There’s only one way to find out.
