In this bonus episode, I sit down with astrologer, tarot and oracle reader, and author Maria Sofia Marmanides. We talk all about her first oracle deck: The Women of Myth Oracle Deck, which offers guidance and insight from divine and diverse feminine figures throughout history and mythos—all while reclaiming their narratives and retelling their stories with care and from an empowering perspective. We also discuss how her upbringing and culture as a first-generation Greek-American intersect and inform her spiritual practice, hot manifestation tips, how to improve your relationship with your tarot and oracles decks, our personal astrology practices, and so much more. Maria isn't just one of the most talented initiatives out there, she is also a dear friend who I respect so, so much. Her guidance and insight are invaluable and she offers our listeners a channeled message and oracle reading in this episode, as well. Order: The Women of Myth Oracle DeckFollow Maria on InstagramOrder: The One-Card Tarot JournalOrder: The Oracle Card JournalVisit Maria's WebsiteMore About MariaMaria Sofia Marmanides is a Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, and Virgo Rising, three placements that come through very strongly in her work. She is an astrologer, tarot and oracle reader, as well as writer and author (hello, Virgo Rising). She has published two books on divination, The One Card Tarot Journal and The Oracle Card Journal. Her latest project, a new Oracle Deck, The Woman of Myth, and the accompanying guidebook is available now from Adams Media and Simon & Schuster. You can find her posts and videos on Instagram at MariaSofia_Astro (hi there, Leo Sun), where she gives tarot readings and offers up her thoughts and reflections on natal astrological placements and the current transits (delivered via her Cancer Moon musings). She believes everyone is a little bit psychic and that your soul chose your chart for a reason—you just have to figure out what that reason is.Support the show
