Episode #12: Tarot and the Decans with T. Susan Chang

A very fun conversation, welcoming back tarot scholar, author, and teacher T. Susan "Susie" Chang for another deep dive into the intersection of tarot, astrology, and magical correspondences.

Her book, 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, explores the rich connections between the decans of the zodiac and the Minor Arcana of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. In our conversation, we discuss:
The historical and esoteric significance of the decans in tarot
How working with the decans can deepen divination and magical practice
The structure and philosophy behind 36 Secrets
How these esoteric correspondences provide deeper insight into tarot readings

As a special treat, Susie also performed live one-card readings for some of our listeners who joined us in real time. If you are interested in tarot, astrology, or the deeper symbolic structures behind the cards, this episode is full of insights you won’t want to miss.
