Tarot — The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott

Tarot, Feminine Energy, and Self-Help in Times of Self-Victimization | The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott episode 4 with Natalia Zhikhareva (Dr Z PhD, or the Tarot Shrink)

In this very fun fourth episode of The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott, I chat with Dr Natalia Zhikhareva, otherwise known as Dr Z PhD, or the Tarot Shrink!

We chat about the self-help and self-healing space, and about how to work with tarot for self reflection and healing in a way that moves us forward in our growth, rather than holding us back.

We talk about psychology and tarot, the problems with self-diagnosis and overly identifying with a victim identity or victim mindset. We talk about the emotionally volatile times we are in, and how to move through that as we heal our traumas, triggers, and wounds - and the importance of emotional self-regulation, exposing ourselves to different ideas despite the proliferation of echo chambers.

We also discuss masculine/feminine energy and polarity between the two! We touch on feminine energy in the tarot, and Dr Z shares some advice for any women who are currently struggling in love.

Artistic Creation, Ego Death, and Returning to Community | The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott episode 3 with Tarot Deck Creator Marisa de la Pena

In this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with amazing human and oracle and tarot deck creator Marisa de la Pena about her decks, why she took steps away from the spiritual, witchy, and tarot space, and what's inspired her to come back into the community after a few years away.

Marisa is the creator of Circo Tarot and the Persephone Tarot, and the How to Deal Tarot aquired by Harper Collins/Urban Outfitters.

We have a great conversation about Marisa's journey to tarot and magic, creating art as a way to work through pain and grief, moving away from ego, (and checking ourselves before e wreck ourselves), and the importance of moving back into the nitty gritty of spiritual work, and focusing on doing magic for/on ourselves.

We also talk about how punitive and policing aspects of the spiritual community have become, how to escape it, and how to re-enter community with what's truly important in mind. We talk about academia, the importance of using technology intelligently, and the vitality of becoming familiar with witchy/spiritual elders.
