Jayden-Avery Love: Tarot, Deconstruction & Reclaiming Your Divine Self On this episode of the House of Cards podcast, hosts Jessica and Sasha sit down with Jayden-Avery Love, a tarot reader, intuitive artist, musician, and spiritual practitioner of 14 years, for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the cards. Jayden shares their journey from growing up Jehovah's Witness and deconstructing organized religion, to discovering tarot in 2012 during one of the most pivotal chapters of their life. We dig into the intersection of queerness and intuition, how growing up Black and queer in America shaped a spiritual lens rooted in self-trust, and why the archetypes of the Major Arcana mirror the cycles of nature, the seasons, and our own lives. We also get into: Childhood spiritual experiences — including an "imaginary friend" who led Jayden to a hidden canister of historic family photos Why tarot isn't about predicting the future — it's a mirror that brings you back to self Chaos magic, ADHD, and the power of embracing every archetype (yes, even the Devil) AI, bias, and what tarot readers see that machines can't Earthships, sustainable living, and dreaming of a Teletubby-shaped commune Shadow work, radical acceptance, and the dark night of the soul as a gateway to growth Why dividing magic into "black" and "white" reinforces colonized thinking Reclaiming your power — both inside and outside of spiritual language Plus, Jayden introduces their Versatile Magic Herb Bouquets, we draw cards together in our show tradition, and Jayden teases a return appearance (theme park ghost stories, anyone?).
