She built a devoted tarot following in less than a year by saying out loud what most of us are already thinking. Today I sit down with Lexie Fraiche — Miss Nefarious Aquarius — for one of the most honest, entertaining and genuinely eye-opening conversations I've had on the Tarot Talk Show.
We get into her five tarot reader archetypes that will make you question everything about how you read and who you are in this community. We dig deep into the Decan Walk — a practice that completely changed the way I think about the minor arcana — and Lexie pulls a card for the collective live on camera for the very first time ever.
Fair warning — if you're a Love and Light reader, grab a drink before this one. 😅
