You may have wondered at some point or another: “Can you be spiritual and still make money?” I’ve created a business out of my love for the Tarot, and I do generate a profit. It’s for this that I’ve been criticised, and I wanted to devote a whole episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast to talk about the truth about money and spirituality. In Episode 118, I talk about why I think it can be spiritual to earn money in a spiritual way!

I love when I discover a new Tarot reader bringing the art of card reading into the modern age, and Bakara Wintner is certainly one of these people! She’s the owner of Everyday Magic, an intentional lifestyle shop in Durham, North Carolina, and recently she published a book called “WTF is Tarot? ...& How Do I Do It?”, which brings old into the new, using pop culture references and colloquialisms to make sense of card reading for a now generation.  I invited Bakara on to the Biddy Tarot Podcast in Episode 111 (lucky number!) to talk about moving from the busy publishing industry in New York City to quitting her 9-to-5 to pursue the spiritual full time.  Additional Resources  Visit Bakara’s website at BakaraW.com  Check out Bakara’s store in Durham, NC at ShopEverdayMagic.com  Order WTF is Tarot?... & How Do I Do It? on Amazon
