Tarot and Ritual
Welcome to Season 10 of Every Day Tarot!
This season, I’m exploring the rich, magical intersections between tarot and witchcraft.
What we explore in this episode:
How tarot can deepen our rituals and reconnect us to the cycles of nature
My personal Summer Solstice ritual and reflections, including tea, flowers, and a powerful 7-card solstice spread
The emotional and intuitive energy of the Cancer season, and how Venus influences this time of connection and creativity
Resources referenced in this episode:
Ritual doesn’t have to be elaborate. It’s not about perfection, it’s about presence.
In this episode, I reflected on the Summer Solstice as a turning point—a moment of fullness, and a gentle invitation to notice what’s blooming… and what’s asking to be let go.
During my solstice ritual, the cards didn’t offer simple answers. In fact, most of them were reversed! But that didn’t mean the reading was wrong. It meant the message was deeper than “what’s next.” It was a mirror for the mess, the in-between, the becoming.
Sometimes ritual is just holding space for truth. Saying: “I’m still here. I’m still becoming.”
This is what tarot helps us do. It helps us name the unnamed, honor the unseen, and remember that even in moments of doubt, the ritual itself is a form of trust.
Trust that growth doesn’t always look graceful.
Trust that rest is also part of blooming.
Trust that magic lives in small, consistent acts of attention.
So, what are YOU marking or honoring in your life right now?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington, I pulled the Ace of Cups (upright). In the midst of ritual and reflection, this card invites you to receive. To soften. To let the flow of emotion, intuition, and spirit move through you without resistance.
In the upright position, the Ace of Cups symbolizes new emotional beginnings, deep spiritual connection, and the kind of renewal that begins in the heart. It’s a card of sacred offering—an invitation to return to the well of your inner truth and let yourself be replenished.
After the intensity of the Solstice spread, this card brings a sense of emotional reset. It says that even now, something beautiful is beginning. Even in your tenderness, there is power.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where am I being invited to open my heart and receive more fully?
What new emotional beginning is quietly unfolding in my life?
How can I nurture a deeper connection with myself and others?
