Tarot and Sex Magic
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:
An introduction to sex magic: what it is, how it works, and why it’s so potent
Ways tarot can amplify and focus your sex magic intentions
A five-card tarot spread (from Gabriela Herstik’s Sacred Sex) to help uncover your unique path of sacred sexuality
In today’s episode, I’m sharing insights, favorite resources, and a powerful tarot spread to help you discover your own sacred erotic path.
5-Card Finding Your Path of Sacred Sex Spread
What You’ll Need:
Your favorite tarot deck
A journal or notebook to capture your insights
Optional: candles, crystals, music, or anything else that helps create a safe, inviting space
Instructions:
Set your intention
Before shuffling, I take a few deep breaths and focus on my question: Which path of sacred sex is right for me? You can make it more specific if you like — for example: “How can I embody my erotic power? Or what wants to be awakened in my sacred sexuality?”Shuffle and cut your deck
While shuffling, I hold my question in mind and let my body relax. When I feel ready, I cut the deck however feels right.Pull five cards
I usually lay them out in a straight line from left to right, but feel free to arrange them however feels intuitive.Reflect and journal
Once the cards are out, I take time to look at them together and notice immediate thoughts, body sensations, emotions, and any symbolic meanings that arise. I write down everything that feels important, even if it doesn’t make complete sense at first.Integrate the messages
I close my eyes and spend a few moments imagining the cards’ messages weaving into my body and spirit. Sometimes I’ll pull a final clarifying or “closing” card, or turn this into a short meditation or movement practice to ground the insights.
Optional: Make it a ritual
You can deepen the experience by lighting candles, wearing something that feels empowering, playing music that helps you connect to your body, or adding affirmations or breathwork before or after your reading.
Journal Prompts
After your reading, you might explore:
What surprised me most about these cards?
Where do I feel these messages in my body?
What desires or emotions came up that I want to honor more fully?
Here’s what came up in today’s reading using the The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair.

Today's Tarot Pull:
From Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden, I pulled The Page of Wands (reversed). This speaks to creative blocks, a lack of direction, or feeling stuck. It invites us to rediscover playfulness and curiosity, to reawaken that spark without pressure.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where in my life am I feeling uninspired or disconnected from my inner fire?
In what ways am I ignoring or dismissing my own passions or curiosities?
How can I reconnect with my sense of wonder and possibility?
