BTW 32: 4 of Swords – Resting Is Healing with Brandi Spradling

When nothing feels stable, how do you find stability? After the heartbreak of the 3 of Swords, the 4 of Swords reminds us that we’re entering a recovery period. When this card appears, it’s time to lay down your weapons. Get some rest. It’s okay to retreat a little and regroup. It’s in the dark of the earth that we restore and heal. You will take action again very soon and you need all your strength. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the healing powers of this card and what it offers. Our guest today is Brandi Spradling of Venus in Retro Tarot. She’s a progressive Black Feminist who practices intuitive tarot from a healing perspective. Brandi has a special gift for making the tarot accessible, especially for those who might feel alienated (neurodivergent folks or people who’ve experienced trauma for instance). She’s doing tarot for real people, and is willing to be vulnerable and her own experiences and how she uses tarot to help her through them. We love her and we know you will too! Quick head’s up, in this episode we do address a few sensitive issues in this episode, such as mental illness and birth trauma, but MOST of the episode is focused on healing. Just wanted to let you know. x ********************************* Find out more about our special guest, tarot reader Brandi Spradling: Visit her website: https://www.venusinretrotarot.com/ Check out her Instagram feed: @venusinretrotarot Or her YouTube feed: Venus In Retro Tarot ********************************* AVAILBLE WORKSHOPS *Cutting the Cord - a Banishing and Welcoming Ritual Workshop * In this workshop we’ll be releasing our sorrows and clearing our wounds.
