116: Celebrating World Tarot Day (And Chelle's Birthday)

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path

In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle mark World Tarot Day, celebrated each year on May 25th, a magical holiday dreamed into being by Den Elder back in 2003. The witches also discuss Chelle's birthday! A witchy holiday dreamed into being by her parents back in the late 1900's! The witches take this special day as an opportunity to reflect on their own long-standing relationships with the cards, sharing how Tarot has shaped their practices, their insights, and their spiritual growth.
They explore the many uses of Tarot beyond readings; a tool for spellwork, meditation, dreamwork, altar magic, and connecting with guides or ancestors. Chelle introduces a brand-new Tarot spread, Flowers of May - Where Will I Bloom, crafted to find insights on what you need and where you're going; while Laylla dives into why card positions matter, how symbolic placement can shape meaning, and how to start crafting your own spreads with confidence and creativity.
And in a perfect bit of cosmic timing, the witches note that Chelle’s birthday is just a few days later, on May 31st! Proof that Tarot and Chelle were meant to walk the same path. Call it synchronicity, fate, or just good astrology, even the stars knew that Chelle and Tarot would be close!
Join them in honoring the cards as sacred mirrors, wise companions, and magical tools that keep showing up right when we need them. Happy World Tarot Day! And happy early birthday to Chelle!
