Author Ben Stimpson joins me in this episode to discuss his book, Ancestral Whispers: A Guide to Building Ancestral Veneration Practices.

I am quite honored and excited to have author T. Susan Chang join the podcast to discuss her latest book, The Living Tarot. Susie talks about her realization that you can’t teach anyone tarot, but you can teach them to teach themselves by helping them discover how tarot speaks to them. She discusses the relationship between tarot and magic, the many ways one can work with tarot, and the power of engaging with the cards in a spirit of play.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
