Episode 72: Tarot Mediumship, with Jenna Matlin

Have you ever wondered if you could communicate with the dead? One answer: Maybe, maybe not, but your cards certainly can!

As tarot readers, we know our cards can do a lot of spooky things. My guest this week, Jenna Matlin, believes that a tarot deck is a naturally mediumistic tool; an interface between realms.  In her new book, The Tarot Book of the Dead (Weiser 2026), she offers a framework for anyone to use the cards to communicate with spirit, whether or not you think you’re psychically gifted. How does this work? How do we adjust our readings to accommodate messages from Elsewhere? Listen and find out!

This week’s bonus post: “The Heralds” Spread – Jenna walks us through an example spread for sharing essential truths with the ead.

 

Jenna Matlin holds an M.S. in Organizational Psychology and B.A. in Anthropology, with end-of-life doula training through INELDA and completed training in psychedelic integration support.
