Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves?

Rhythm & Soul Tarot 53:39

7 weeks ago53:39

53:39

In this powerful and dynamic episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast , host Cyndera welcomes Stacey Williams-Ng, the visionary artist behind the Rhythm & Soul Tarot . This groundbreaking deck bridges the worlds of tarot and music, offering a unique and deeply spiritual perspective on both. Drawing from her Southern roots and a lifelong love for music, Stacey introduces us to a deck that channels the essence of four foundational American music genres—Blues, Jazz, Rock & Roll, and Country—into each suit, bringing a fresh, soulful energy to the cards. Stacey and Cyndera’s conversation is visited by brilliant song clips from a few of the cards (there is a Spotify playlist to go with entire deck). Stacey takes us behind the scenes of her creative process, where Southern history, family legacies, and her rich musical heritage converge to form a tarot deck unlike any other. From the deep, heart-wrenching blues of the Mississippi Delta to the rebellious energy of rock and roll, Rhythm & Soul Tarot brings a musical cadence to tarot readings, pairing each card with a song that resonates with its energy. Stacey even introduces two new Major Arcana cards, Rhythm and Soul , which embody spiritual depth and cultural significance (these cards are optional depending on how traditionally you approach tarot). But this episode is more than just about the artistry of a tarot deck—it’s a reflection on the power of music, culture, and spirituality to heal and transform. As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded that the fight for justice in the American South is deeply tied to both personal and collective stories of resistance and resilience. Born in the heart of the South, King’s vision of justice was shaped by the region’s painful history—one marked by racial oppression, segregation, and systemic inequality—but also by a powerful spirit of resistance, unity, and transformation. King's call for a "beloved community" wasn’t just an abstract ideal. It was a vision born out of the complexities and contradictions of Southern history—where the struggle for justice was intertwined with music, culture, and a shared desire for a better, more equitable future. The same spirit of resistance that fueled the civil rights marches, the sit-ins, and the fight for voting rights also echoes in the music that shaped the South—blues, jazz, and rock all carried messages of freedom, defiance, and hope. In this context, justice becomes more than just a legal or political term. It’s about confronting the painful truths of the South’s legacy of racial violence and inequality, while moving toward a future where dignity and opportunity are not just ideals, but lived realities for all. King’s vision of justice was never about simply dismantling oppressive systems—it was about building bridges of understanding, compassion, and love. He knew that true justice could only be achieved through nonviolent resistance and a collective commitment to reconciliation, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. As we reflect on King's work and vision on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor not only his legacy but the ongoing journey toward justice in the South and across the nation. Whether through music, tarot, or the power of community, we are reminded that justice is not a destination—it is a journey that requires each of us to confront our past, challenge the present, and envision a future where equality and love reign. Join us for this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, where tarot, music, and history come together to inspire us to continue the fight for justice—because the path toward a beloved community begins with us, together. You can purchase this extraordinary deck from La Panthère Studio directly (Stacey is also the founder of this publishing company!) About Stacey Stacey is the writer and artist behind The Southern Gothic Oracle, the deck that launched La Panthère Studio. She is a former design instructor and children’s book illustrator, and is a frequent speaker on topics of design and art-making. Visit her website at lapantherestudio.com/…

Celebrating our 100th episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, Julienne Givot and I take a moment to reflect on our incredible journey over the past decade. It all began in a closet in San Francisco, where we embarked on a quest to explore archetypes and the Tarot, weaving together our personal stories and insights along the way. Throughout the years, our lives and the podcast have evolved, shaped by significant events such as the global pandemic which brought us back together. In this reunion, Julienne and I sat down to discuss current events through an archetypal lens, diving into societal divisions and the dehumanizing effects of social media and AI in today's complex world. Julienne shares her reflections on her path as a Free Range Priestess, crafting prayers and feminist rosaries with a deeply personal and intuitive touch. She also has married hundreds of couples on Maui ! Meanwhile, I reveal the latest development —twenty-two years in the making—working with my father’s stones to create a 3rd Edition Story Through Stone Reflection Card deck, soon to be released . After a decade and 100 episodes, we express our deep gratitude for our listeners and the opportunity to embark on this podcast journey together.

The Language of Lenormand: Interview with Erika Robinson 41:28

43 weeks ago41:28

41:28

Your Archetypal Tarot Podcast Host, Cyndera Quackenbush here! After spending decades with the Tarot, I find myself still tapping all their mysteries and layers of interpretation. Here and there, the Lenormand started to tap at my window and I got curious what this divination system was all about. I got my first Lenormand deck years ago, and drew my first card (a practice I later learned was not suited to Lenormand readings). What card did I get? The Coffin. Not long after that the pandemic began. Life (and death) happened… It wasn’t until I came across Lenormand expert Erika Robinson, that I was introduced properly to this method and how it could be used for readings. This podcast unveils Lenormand for all listeners and Erika even gives me a reading on the show! Her warmth and clarity is stunning. Here are a few of my takeaways from our conversation: As the title of Erika’s book suggests, Lenormand can be seen as a language of divination. The way the cards work together in a spread is like interpreting a sentence, or (my favorite thing) telling a story that speaks to your question. Who better than Erika, long-time English teacher and writer , to break this down for us? Cards are rarely picked for 1-card readings. Cards are best interpreted in relationship to each other in a spread. There is a beautiful simplicity inherent in the Lenormand. Meanings can be memorized and fortunes told even with a regular deck of playing cards. Erika is just a wonderful person - fun to chat and connect with! Her reading was insightful and dead on. Check out Erika’s latest publication, The Language of Lenormand and her beautiful deck, Lenormand of Hope : Thank you Erika for coming onto the Archetypal Tarot Podcast!…

This delightful dialogue with Kara Simons introduces her new book You Belong Here: A Story of Otherworldly Help in Finding My Place, which will launch its Kickstarter campaign on May 7th. Kara recounts her journey of breaking away from a restrictive and damaging belief system rooted in Mormon theology. Her experience of being torn away from deep family connections at a young age paved her path toward a direct connection with the other world. She found guidance from the forces and animals of nature, which lead to the creation of her Prairie Majesty Oracle and Song of the Grandmothers . Kara is a mother of 3 and a practicing lawyer too, so you get a well-grounded and practical perspective that is rare in the spiritual canon. Have you ever felt you might need a spiritual lawyer to come and draw up some contracts for greater self-awareness and boundary setting? With Kara’s guided questions at the end of each section of her book, search no further! This autobiographical book is not just a beautiful read but a gateway of encouragement and allowance for each person’s deeper access to spirit.

Divinations in Photography 43:26

43:26

For the Archetypal Tarot Podcast’s special Women’s History Month edition of the podcast, we’re featuring the art and interview of Rachel Phillips! Though her work doesn’t (yet) appear in the form of tarot decks or grimoires, Rachel’s creations tap into the communicative powers of photo manipulation and the magic that such manipulation has on our own reflections of time, ancestry and the journey of women as both the viewer and viewed. Rounding out the end of last year, Cyndera had the chance to go and visit Rachel’s exhibition Holding Time, Tracing Light held at San Francisco State University’s School of Art and Design. Cyndera at the life-size Ghost Light Theater Projection! She had so much fun playing with shadows and pretending to be part of the art! Cyndera had originally been drawn to Rachel’s artistry in the form of her collection called Divinations . In the 1860s, Cabinet Cards were all the rage . Having your photograph taken more frequently (not just once or twice a year) allowed for the introduction of photography to the modern world. These pictures on stiff cardboard, often lost the names of the person’s portrait over time, holding just the company of the photographer. In Rachel’s transfer print play, she brings to life once again the faces of the past while dreaming into their “divination” method dictated by imaginative shadows and images: Divination by Celestial Bodies, 2014 Divination by Cards, 2014 Divination by Sharp Object, 2016 Well, that was an appropriate year for sharp objects, as it turned out, so we are convinced Rachel’s intuition via art work is spot on! To see Rachel’s full body of work online, visit https://treadwellpress.com/ Stay tuned for the Archetypal Tarot Podcast release of the video for paid subscribers on Substack , where you can catch a glimpse of Rachel Phillips herself, along with her incredible Ghost Light Theater alit in the background! Also, a very happy birthday to Rachel this month, we're so glad she was born!…

The Chinese 5 Elements Oracle is a deck to accompany you in the adventure that is and will be 2024, and also in the new cycle we find ourselves according to Chinese Metaphysics. 2024 launches “the Age of 9” which is the last cycle of the 180-year great cycle of the Nine Periods. It is said to bring back a rise in Yin Energy, ruled by the Fire trigram Li which is associated with spirituality and middle aged women (never been so excited to turn 40 this year!!) The Lunar New Year itself will welcome the Wood Dragon. We met with Vicki Iskandar, creator of The Chinese Five Elements Oracle, in this podcast to discuss what we can expect from this cycle and symbolism. Surprisingly, Vicki’s words on this card and cycle were all about joy. In 2024, we find ourselves in an election year, not just in the United States, but with over 50 countries deciding between authoritarian and democratic leaders. Already we see divisiveness and tension playing out with over 110 armed conflicts through out the world - how can we possibly participate and cultivate joy? "Joy, associated with Fire element, is the key to raising our frequency. This is especially critical in the Age of 9… As the world becomes more divided, those who are able to cultivate inner joy will be the ones who’ll keep moving up on the path to bring light to others; fear and negativity may push others to spiral downward." ~Vicki Iskander Many of the messages within The Chinese Five Elements Oracle are designed lovingly to stoke your inner joy. From the messages of Heaven and Earth to the charming illustrations provided by Candice Soon, you are sure to find that special spark that is uniquely your own joy. Happy 2024! Happy Lunar New Year! Happy Age of 9 to you! To glimpse imagery from this glorious deck in the Video Interview, along with other perks, please become a paid subscriber on Substack !…

Co-Creator of The Archetypal Podcast, Julienne Givot, returns for this very special podcast and interview with Perdita Finn! Perdita, Julienne and Cyndera discuss the deep meaning and magic inherent in having a daily connection with ancestors, and all friends, beyond the grave. Perdita Finn's father, a doctor, used to arrive home in the middle of the night and find his three-year-old daughter sitting in the dark in front of a broken figurine from some lost Nativity scene of the Virgin Mary. Not only was their family not religious but Perdita would not even see the inside of a church for another decade. Perdita didn't remember this...and her father would not tell her this story until just before his death. It took her almost a half century to uncover her childhood devotion and to begin to make sense of it. A longtime Zen student, she decided she'd had enough of priests and lineages and fundraising campaigns soon after the birth of her children. She preferred to be out in the woods with her kids and caring for various wild animals they discovered that needed help. Once they rehabilitated 16 baby possums together. A pet goose marched up and down the long driveway to their house in the Catskills. In 2011 in the events described in The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary her life changed forever. Rediscovering her devotion to the Lady freed her own voice at last. She is the co-founder with her husband Clark Strand of The Way of the Rose, an eco-feminist rosary fellowship dedicated to the rights of the earth and the rights of women. More of her writing can be found at wayoftherose.org *This description contains content from Perdita Finn’s bio featured on Amazon. *Julienne Givot's amazing Ancestor Hoops are available in her Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FreeRangePriestess You can access the video of this interview by subscribing to archetypalstories.substack.com !…

Join Cyndera Quackenbush in this special recording as she interviews Kate Farrell about the patterns and archetypes of the Heroine’s Journey and how it unfolds throughout the movie Barbie , directed by Greta Gerwig. ** WARNING - THIS RECORDING INCLUDES SPOILERS FOR THE FILM BARBIE This interview covers the differences between the more commonly known “Hero’s Journey” popularized by Joseph Campbell. With parallels to ancient myth, the world’s first writing , and fairy tales, the heroine’s journey has the power to reach and validate women in their real-world lives. A deeper exploration within this interview reveals how the Heroine’s Journey can be a transformative experience open to anyone regardless of gender. Kate Farrell believes in the power of story.

Asha Frost, a member of the Chippewas of unceded Nawash First Nation (present day Ontario, Canada) shares with Cyndera about her Oracle deck and recently released book, You are the Medicine: 13 Moons of Indigenous Wisdom, Ancestral Connection and Animal Spirit Guidance. When so much traditional knowledge, life and livelihood has been lost through colonization, where can we even begin to pick up the pieces? New hope is found in the great gift of Frost’s Oracle, illustrated by Steph Littlebird. Steeped in Ojibway teachings, Asha has retrieved this wisdom from ancestors and from her own bones, to share with both indigenous and non-indigenous seekers. She instructs her audience on how to approach and use this medicine respectfully, with the true belief that these teachings can guide each of us back to our own unique medicine. How might the world transform if we are to walk in our own gifts, tailored from our own healed ancestors? While revealing traditional insights, Asha’s work is also immensely inclusive for our modern world. Asha embraces two-spirit folks in her work and introduces guides that are non-binary in both her imagery, stories and language. A whole-hearted gift from a rainbow healer, podcast listeners will love Asha Frost and for the visionary work that lies within her words and Oracle. ASHA FROST (she/her) is an Indigenous Medicine Woman and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. As an energy healer, homeopath, and mentor, Asha has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation with her ceremonies, teachings, and speaking events. Asha lives on Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee Territory, with her husband and two beautiful children, with whom she co-creates a better world for the seven generations to come.

The Rider-Waite-Smith deck has been known as the preeminent Tarot deck that first illustrated the entire Minor Arcana along with a re-imagining of the Major Arcana that has influenced hundreds of deck on the market today. This podcast interviews Weiser author and editor Judika Illes and researcher/artist/designer Kathryn Sky-Peck about their recently released Weiser Tarot that features Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith's original line art with freshly watercolor painted cards. The Weiser Tarot presents a fresh face that embraces figures on a varying spectrum of skin tone and gender orientation. The creators' process with this landmark deck inspires all of us to come to this antiquated deck with fresh eyes and to "examine each card one by one, prior to considering the interpretations of others." The 78 pieces of art, originally drawn by Smith, "open our intuition and imagination to explore our hearts and minds" (Illes 2022). More about Judika Illes: Born in New York City, Judika Illes is a lifelong lover, student, and practitioner of the magickal arts. She is the author of numerous books devoted to magic spells, witchcraft, saints, spirits, and the paranormal including the best-selling Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells and Encyclopedia of Spirits.

Judika is also the curator of two books of occult fiction. Someday she will publish some occult fiction of her own. Judika is a certified aromatherapist and has been a professional tarot card reader since 1988. Judika has worked as an editor for Weiser Books since 2015. Before that, she worked for The Witches’ Almanac. She teaches about spell-casting and other topics in the US, internationally, and virtually.

She has been the sole proprietor of Sky Peck Design for the last 27 years, where she maintains a select group of clients, most notably The Witches Almanac and Ibis Press.
