Show notes
Today’s guest is Amanda Yates Garcia, a writer, public witch, and host of the Between the Worlds podcast. In today’s episode, we dive deep into transformation, magic, and the mysteries of the Death card in tarot. Amanda and I discuss what it means to surrender to change, the power of initiation, and how embracing death—both literal and metaphorical—can lead to personal and collective rebirth. She also shares her experience with loss, her perspective on witchcraft as a tool for shaping change, and how magic can help us navigate an ever-evolving world.If you liked this episode, check out the previous GRACED podcast episode with Taylor Eaton: https://youtu.be/WCkIkcyIdQE✨__________What We Talk About:00:00:00 Episode Preview00:00:24 Opening00:01:00 Introduction00:02:10 Interview Begins with Amanda Yates Garcia00:02:38 How the Scorpio Sign Relates to the Death Tarot Card00:04:16 Vulnerability in Sharing Grief00:12:20 Living a Life of Beauty and Integrity in a World Full of Death00:15:23 The Cycle of Death and Rebirth00:26:53 Being Powerless in the Presence of Death00:27:32 New Life Being Born From Death00:35:06 AD - Join our Tarot for Alchemy Course https://learntarot.mysticmondays.com/00:37:15 Directing Change Through Power and Balancing Control With Surrender00:41:51 The Threefold Law00:52:38 How to Frame a Question in Tarot00:55:08 We Need Someone to Believe in Us, More Than We Believe in Ourselves01:02:05 Learning From Challenges and Guiding Others01:04:22 What is your Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs?01:05:35 What Advice Would You Give to Your Younger Self?01:06:41 How Would You Define Everyday Magic?01:07:46 What Are Your Favorite Rituals?01:09:02 What Are You Looking Forward to in the Near Future?01:09:45 Collective Reading by Amanda Yates Garcia from the Motherpeace Tarot Deck01:13:35 Weighing the Scales with the Justice Card01:17:10 Closing Statements01:19:03 End of Episode – Make Sure to Leave a Podcast Review!01:20:11 End Card✨__________Check out the Mystic Mondays App:https://www.mysticmondays.com/pages/app/Check out the Create Your Deck Club:https://cydc.mysticmondays.com/create-your-deck-club✨__________Read the full show notes and transcript on the Grace Duong Blog:http://www.graceduong.com/podcast✨__________Episode Resources:Amanda’s Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/oracleoflaAmanda’s Website:https://oracleoflosangeles.comWork with Grace:http://www.graceduong.com✨__________💖 GRACE DUONG LINKS✨ Grace Duong website:https://www.graceduong.com/✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grace.duong✨ TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@grace.duong✨ X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/graceduong✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/graceduongx✨__________💖 MYSTIC MONDAYS LINKS✨ Mystic Mondays website: https://www.mysticmondays.com/✨ Join our online community: https://www.coven.mysticmondays.com✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mysticmondays✨ TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@mysticmondays✨ X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/mystic_mondays✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mysticmondays✨ Download the Mystic Mondays App:https://www.mysticmondays.com/pages/app✨__________* this post may contain affiliate linksKEYWORDS: Grace Duong, Mystic Mondays, Tarot, Oracle, Deck, Podcast, Rituals, Alignment, Alchemy, Healing, Manifestation, GRACED Podcast, Mystic Mondays Tarot, Cosmic Creatures, Crystal Grid, Astro Alignment, Healing Herbology, Tarot Card Readings, Oracle Card Readings, Create Your Deck Club, Soul's Purpose, Manifest, Love, Joy, Believe in Your Dreams, Amanda Yates Garcia, Writer, Public Witch, Between the Worlds podcast, Substack, Mystery Cult, Initiated Memoir of a Witch,
