Have you ever wondered where Tarot came from? I mean, where it really came from? Like many parts of history, Tarot has a shadowy past––and unsung heroines who haven’t received their rightful credit for its rise. Luckily, artist and writer Cat Willett was inspired to dive into Tarot’s origins… and is now sharing the truth about the women behind Tarot with the world.  In this fascinating interview, Cat and I dig deep into the reality of the women who pushed Tarot’s forward, the gender divide in Tarot, how we’re taking our intuitive power back as women, and so much more!

Do you feel like you’re here for a reason - but aren’t sure what it is? Nicole, a Certified Biddy Tarot Advisor, felt the same way for most of her life… Until her mother’s passing in 2021, when she underwent an intense and introspective spiritual awakening. During this time, Nicole remembered that when she was a little girl, she wanted to be a school teacher. And after her awakening, she stepped into a role as a spiritual teacher. Not only does Nicole now read Tarot professionally, but she is also a gifted Reiki Master, intuitive psychic, medium, and sound healer. So while she isn’t a school teacher like she’d envisioned, she teaches in different ways. She teaches women how to relax. How to be in their bodies. How to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. And she finally feels like she’s living out the purpose she manifested for herself as a child.
