]]> Burn Your Shit with Tarot Lori Burn Your Shit with Tarot Lori Tue, 27 Feb 2024 11:00:00 GMT 25:38 Buzzsprout-14567180 false https://shows.acast.com/where-were-at-a-roadmap-for-life-in-the-middle/episodes/6679f75b11c337b46c1f7b50 6679f75b11c337b46c1f7b50 6679f756ab8b26b10f63f937 full 1 8 We all would like to look into the future and know if we’ll win the lotto or meet that tall, dark stranger. But let's face it, a Ouiji board won’t cut it past middle school. We can't  know definitively what the future holds, but we do know someone who can help us shed some light on the path ahead. 

This week Rebecca and Lana consult with Tarot Lori to understand how tarot can be used as a tool for empowerment, self-discovery and personal growth. 


Lori Dyan, AKA Tarot Lori, has been reading tarot for over thirty years. She has an international clientele—from CEOs, to celebrities to CIA operatives—and a dedicated Instagram following. Despite being mentored by a actual crystal-ball-gazing witch, Lori is not your average tarot card reader. Her tagline, “Woo Woo Without the Cuckoo,” reflects her modern and accessible style of tarot. Because Lori is a member of the Peguis band (from Cree and Ojibwe descent), her lineage is woven throughout her work—it is the source of her magic. As well as offering online readings and workshops worldwide, Lori is a popular media guest, keynote speaker and event entertainer.

Her new book,  ‘Burn Your Shit - The Life Changing Magic of Rituals’, will be available this May from Harper Collins. 


Key Points

5:40.        Archetypes tap into collective unconscious
6:35        'It's My Turn'
7:14         Cards Provide a Guide
8:42         Unleashed
9:41         Tarot gives you Bread Crumbs
10:15      Universal Commonalities
11:19       Full Moon Ritual AKA 'Burn Your Shit'
12:21       Mission - Inspire, Empower, Enlighten
14:10       How It Works
15:12       Woo Woo PSA
16:13       Rituals Are Self Care
22:24       Core Root of Problems

Tuning In
24:02       Get Quiet
24:27       Loving Yourself in this Moment
24:32       Be Curious
