0:00.0	Welcome to Between the Worlds. I'm your host, Amanda Yates Garcia. Stay tuned and learn
0:14.1	how to re-enchant your world with tarot, magic, and more. Thanks for traveling with us.
0:20.1	We're glad you're here.
0:25.6	Hey, Amanda here. So originally we'd planned on having Phyllis Curot as our second
0:34.1	opinion for the Queen of Swords episode. But when we had the interview with her, it was super
0:41.1	delicious and rich. And we actually never got to the card. But I still think that you're going
0:49.7	to love this episode as a standalone piece. I will be doing the Queen of Swords solo next time.
0:58.7	But if you're on Instagram or are a follower of Witch Talk, you will have had a lot of opportunities
1:06.6	to see what the fresh, young faces of Witchcraft are doing and thinking in the world, which is great.
1:13.1	And important, we want to support the next generation of Witches. But it isn't so often that we get
1:21.0	a chance to hear what the older generation has to say about Witchcraft. And for myself, I've found
1:29.3	that the more that I practice, the deeper my practice goes and the things that I originally believe
1:36.0	to be true about Witchcraft turn out to be Mirages, that's the same for tarot. But what's behind
1:43.4	that Mirage is more profound than I ever could have imagined. Well, now imagine you have been practicing
1:53.4	Witchcraft intensively for over 40 years. Because that's what Phyllis Curot, our guest today, has been
2:01.0	doing. And I fell in love with her work when I got her Witches Wisdom tarot deck, which is just
2:08.5	indescribably beautiful. It's so juicy and ecology oriented, so earth-magic-based, so land-based,
2:20.1	which I love. And many people who get it say that they fall so deeply in love with it that they
2:24.6	stop using other decks, true story. Phyllis has also written six books on magic in Witchcraft
2:31.8	beginning over 20 years ago and has a new book also coming out soon. So in this conversation,
2:38.0	we discuss what people get wrong about Witchcraft, hint. It's not just about willpower and manifesting.
2:46.3	How divination is actually a dialogue with spirit. How to find your path if you're lost?
