In this episode, Stacey does a deep dive into the history of tarot that she shares with Charity and you! Why did the Ride-Waite tarot become the Ride-Waite-Smith tarot? Where does tarot come from anyway? Is it a magical and mystical divination tool or a way to tap into your intuitive knowing? We explore these questions in part one of our 2 part tarot series.
