Enchanticon 2025 Tarot and Trusting Yourself Presentation

Podcast
Written By Camille Saunders

Divination & The Harry Potter Series

Season 13 of Every Day Tarot is all about divination, and today’s episode takes you inside my Enchanticon 2025 talk on Divination, Tarot, and Trusting Yourself. 

What we explore in this episode:

  • The importance of self-trust when working with divination practices

  • Why tarot and intuition point to possibilities rather than fixed outcomes

  • How prophecy in Harry Potter highlights the tension between fate and free will

  • A step-by-step “Trust Yourself” tarot spread you can try at home

Prophecy, Intuition, & Free Will

The central question of prophecy in Harry Potter is whether the future is set in stone. Dumbledore reminds Harry: “It is our choices, far more than our abilities, that show who we truly are.” Voldemort heard half the prophecy, tried to prevent it, and ended up ensuring its fulfillment. 

This is how I see tarot. A spread doesn’t tell me what must happen. A card pull isn’t a locked-in script; it’s a hint of possibility. Intuition works the same way. It doesn’t force our hand. It says, “Here’s what you already know—now, what will you do with it?” The magic happens in that gap between knowing and choosing, because while prophecy may frame the story, it's free will that writes the ending.

Trust Yourself Tarot Spread

This spread is designed to help you quiet the noise, listen inward, and reconnect with your own inner compass. Each position explores a different facet of self-trust, moving from the whisper of intuition to the long-term anchors that sustain you.

1. The Whisper

  • What my intuition is quietly telling me right now.

  • This is the seed of inner knowing that’s easy to dismiss or overlook. It’s the gentle nudge that reminds you where truth already lives inside of you.

2. The Static

  • What’s clouding or confusing my inner voice?

  • External noise, fear, or old patterns that interfere with clarity. Here, you’ll see the influences that make it harder to trust what you already know.

3. The Compass

  • How can I tune in and hear myself more clearly?

  • The practices, perspectives, or habits that reconnect you to your truth. This is your guidance system for realigning with your intuition.

4. The Leap

  • A step I can take to act in alignment with my inner knowing.

  • A tangible action you can try to build trust in yourself through lived experience.

5. The Anchor

  • What will sustain and deepen my self-trust in the long term?

  • The ongoing support, values, or reminders that keep you grounded in your own wisdom. This card points to what helps you hold steady when doubt returns.

A 12-Week Tarot for Transformation Journey

Starting at the end of September, join me for a 12-week live course based on Tarot for Transformation!

We’ll spend three months together, working through the major arcana as archetypal guides. Each week, we’ll:

  • Focus on one major arcana card and the life themes it highlights.

  • Explore journaling prompts and exercises from Dreya Blume’s book.

  • Share experiences and support each other in a safe, witchy, and affirming space.

  • Participate in live one-hour calls (with replays available if you can’t join live).

This is not just about learning tarot — it’s about using tarot as a vessel for real, meaningful change in your life.

If you've ever longed for a supportive community to explore big personal shifts, or if you’re ready to commit to discovering your most authentic self, this journey is for you.
