Ep 139 - How to hear the wisdom of your heart: Tarot as a path home to yourself

with liz dean

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Liz Dean. Liz is an author and professional tarot reader with 25 books to her name, including ‘The Ultimate Guide to Tarot,’ which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and was hailed by Oprah as "a delight." With a background in illustrated book publishing, writing for the BBC and co-editing Kindred Spirit magazine, Liz is a talented tarot reader, teacher and storyteller. Her beautiful new deck, ‘The Heart's Path Tarot,’ spectacularly illustrated by Kat Fedora, is inspired by nature, symbolism and the heroine's journey, inviting us to reconnect with our intuition and come home to the wisdom of our own hearts.

In this episode, we explore tarot as far more than a tool for prediction - we discover how it can become a pathway home to ourselves. Liz shares her own journey of becoming increasingly authentic through her work with tarot, and how the cards invite us into a deeper relationship with our intuition, symbolism, imagination and the body. Together we explore the Witch Wound, why so many women struggle to trust themselves, how symbolism speaks directly to the soul, and why heart-centred wisdom is perhaps more important now than ever. Liz also offers a beautiful live tarot reading, shares practical ways to begin reading intuitively - even as a complete beginner - and reminds us that the greatest wisdom has been within us all along.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Tarot is not about outsourcing our power - it is a mirror that helps us reconnect with the wisdom, intuition and guidance already within us.
Heart-centred living invites us out of fear, overthinking and self-doubt, and back into trust, embodiment and authentic expression.
Symbols speak directly to the soul. Working intuitively with imagery can reveal insights that the logical mind alone cannot access.
The Heroine's Journey is about gathering the lost parts of ourselves, reclaiming our gifts, and bringing our unique medicine back to the world.
Creating simple rituals with tarot - whether pulling a daily card, journalling, meditating with an archetype, or simply holding the cards - helps cultivate a deeper relationship with intuition and inner knowing.
Every Secret Witch has the capacity to read tarot. The practice isn't about memorising meanings, but about slowing down, listening to the heart, trusting intuition, and having the courage to act upon it.
