In this episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST, Mat Auryn and Rachel True recount the story of how they first met during a tarot reading and instantly vibed, leading to an unlikely but complimentary friendship. They dive into the The Craft, sharing insights on the research Rachel and Fairuza did for the movie and how, despite magick not instantly changing your wig color like the movie, the film isn't too far off in how it presents witchcraft. They debate whether labels are confining or flexible, and discuss authenticity in spotting genuine magickal teachers and tarot readers on social media. Rachel shares her tip: if someone’s running the Three of Swords card across their cleavage and saying he’s coming back to every Scorpio on the planet, it’s probably sus. They also cover managing energy, dealing with bad vibes, and overcoming the fear of tarot, all with humor and camaraderie.
