Tarot Reading: Building the Bad Guy and the Mentor’s Aide

Season 02 Episode 017

We Continue our Novel

This is the fourth episode in an ongoing series where Judie and Miri are writing a novel together, one tarot spread at a time. Today they turn the Character Mirror spread on two of Stephanie’s supporting characters: a nemesis whose hunger for fame and status hides a carefully buried past, and a mentor’s aide who arrives full of enthusiasm but is holding themselves together with sheer force of will. The cards have a lot to say about both of them.
