Tarot of Love in a Dream: On, The Art of Memory and Divination | Reverend Erik

This week, we are welcoming guest Reverend Erik of the Arnemancy podcast, on this the day of his solar return! Erik and I have recorded sister episodes on each other's respected podcasts on our thoughts surrounding the philosophy behind tarot reading. Get a behind the scenes peek at how your diviner friends learn to read and sus out meanings for the cards! Erik's method is a unique and innovative technique involving Renaissance philosophy, and the Art of Memory. How do stories, sounds, and smells allow us to better take hold of the opaque translucent nature of Memory? Is there any difference in how one learns the Majors vs the Pips? How is the imaginal playground informed by the sea of Eros? Isn't all magic just chaos magic anyway? All this plus laughs and jokes abound, in today's episode of SaturnVox. 

You can find out more on Erik, check out his instagram here, as well as his twitter here. You can also book a tarot reading with him on his website here. Don’t forget to check out his podcast as well, with special attention to the series he just finished on Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
