Fortune’s Wheelhouse

Happy Holidays everybody! For the first time in a couple of years, we are delighted to bring you a brand-new episode of Fortune’s Wheelhouse! As you probably know, Mel released her Telos Tarot deck this year, so we thought we’d have a conversation about the magical labor that went into the deck and its unique take on decanic imagery. At the end, we also talked a bit about my own 2024 production, the Dreaming the Decans book, and how that came to be. Enjoy!

Friends, we have arrived at our destination. After completing the planetary, numeric, zodiacal, and elemental series, Mel and Susie decided to record one final episode to mark the conclusion of the Fortune's Wheelhouse podcast: we decided to give the gift of divination to each other, reading about what turned out to be similar concerns for each of us. Fortune's Wheelhouse will remain available on all podcast streaming services, for anyone to refer to whenever they like. Our books and decks will still be out there. You’ll still be able to find Mel at tabulamundi.com and me at tsusanchang.com.  You’ll still be able to buy Fortune’s Wheelhouse merchandise at our RedBubble store, which is at www.redbubble.com/people/wheelhouse93/shop. And everyone is still free to join the Fortune's Wheelhouse Academy group on Facebook. Thanks to all of you, for being our heroes of the astral world. By going on this journey through esoteric tarot with us, sharing it with others, and incorporating it into your own praxis, you complete the circuit of knowledge that Fortune’s Wheelhouse represents.  As above, so below.  As within, so without.

Fortune's Wheelhouse brings you part 2 of our March 2021 readings episode illustrating how the correspondences are applied in real time when reading a card. Esoteric tarot reading is both an art and a science, in which the correspondences form a support for the intuitive oracular moment. We put out a call for questions from Fortune's Wheelhouse patrons, and we are happy to say that we were able to read for every patron who submitted a question. However, we had to split the episode into two separate parts in order to do so. If your question wasn't addressed in this episode, Part I, it will be addressed in the next installment, Part II, to be released March 23, 2021. Finally, thank you to all the loyal patrons who submitted their questions - you are superheroes of the astral realm!
