Episode 3: Talking Tarot with Carly & Wendy

Episode Summary:
In this special mini-sode of Love, Hex and Magic, Carly and Wendy dive into the fascinating world of tarot! Whether you're a card connoisseur or just curious, this fun and insightful chat covers everything from tarot basics to our personal experiences with the cards. We’ll chat Major vs Minor Arcana, the meaning behind each suit, how tarot offers us guidance in everyday life, and why you shouldn’t fear The Tower.

Whether you’re a seasoned witch or a curious sceptic, join us for laughs, chills, and a sprinkle of witchy wisdom. In our first episode (exciting!), we are here to say hi and introduce ourselves, as well as touch on how we became drawn to the world of witchcraft, and our own stories of spells and coincidences.

(11:40) – Good Luck at Work Spell: Inspired by the conversation, the hosts share a simple spell for manifesting good luck to help with your career! Take a green candle (for prosperity) and using a toothpick or similar, write around the candle (wick to base) “Good luck at work for me). Light the candle and visualise all this good luck coming to you. You can also set a lucky charm or crystal beside the candle during this spell and carry it around with you while working, or set it on your workspace for an extra boost.
