Episode 10 - Tarot - What we love, hate and don't understand

A Panel Conversation

In this episode of This Ain’t Fortune Telling, Clo brings together a small panel of tarot readers and tarot-curious humans for an honest conversation about the cards. What draws us to them, what frustrates us, and what still confuses us.

Joining Clo for this roundtable discussion are Tara, Meaghan, and Sabrina, bringing a mix of seasoned experience and fresh perspective to the table.

Together, they talk about how people first find tarot, the role intuition plays in reading the cards, and the many ways tarot can support self-discovery and personal growth. The conversation also touches on common misconceptions, frustrations within tarot culture, and the tension between structured learning and intuitive interpretation.

Along the way, the panel explores topics that often spark debate in the tarot community, from reversals and symbolism to the impact of social media and the evolving language around the cards.

At its heart, this episode is about curiosity. Tarot isn’t presented here as a fixed system or a set of rules to master, but as a reflective tool that helps people understand themselves, their patterns, and their choices more clearly.
