Hi, I'm Bridget Esselmont and this is the Biddy Tarot podcast where you'll discover how to trust your

intuition, access your inner power and bring a little magic into your everyday life with Tarot as

your guide. Each week I share my favourite tarot tips and I chat with special guests all about tarot and intuition.
