Hello and welcome to Terobites. I'm Teresa Read the Tarot Lady. I'm the author of the

tarot coloring book and the co-author of Tarot for Trouble Times. I'm also your host for this podcast

series. This is episode 149 of Tarot bytes, the podcast where I dish out short entertaining

bite-sized lessons on how to read tarot.

And for today's episode, our topic is tarot and charm casting.

And I have my very special guest, my friend Carrie Paris.

Welcome, Carrie.

Hi.

I'm so glad you're here.

I think this is such a great topic.

I'm glad you think so, and I'm always glad to get a chance to talk with you. Thanks for having me. Oh, you're welcome. So before we get started, I just have to tell people about the charm casting experience I had with your kit. So for people who are listening, Carrie had a kit. I was at the Reader Studio. That's a tarot conference. Yeah, you remember this one with me and Earth. So anyhow, I came up and I said, well, tell me about this kit. It's the Charming Dead Oracle kit.

And so there's something else that you were going to, I said, I wrote about it on my blog post, but anyhow, the next morning, Europe says, you're not, and you're not going to believe this.

One of the Trump towers in a different country caught fire and burn. I'm like, oh my God. And we were both completely flipped out by this.

And not only that, the weird thing is, back home, my tenant, who's on the second floor, was out in the

little balcony, and she got the balcony on fire. Oh my gosh. I know. So I became fascinated with the charm casting because of this.

So, you know, so for people who are listening, charm casting does work. It's really accurate.

It's uncanny. Yerg and I are true believers. So, you know, that's why I really wanted to talk to
