In this week's episode, we bring on author Kirsten Weiss to discuss her book "The Mysteries of Tarot." Kirsten's "Intro to Tarot" story is super-interesting! We not only nerd out about the cards, but also the wonders of world-building in fiction.

About our guest:

Kirsten writes laugh-out-loud, page-turning mysteries for people who want to escape with real, complex, and flawed but likable characters. If there’s magic in the story, it must work consistently within the world’s rules and be based in history or the reality of current magical practices.

She’s best known for my cozy mystery and witch mystery novels, though she’s written some steampunk mystery as well. So if you like funny, action-packed mysteries with complicated heroines, just turn the page…

In this episode, we use Matthew Garnier's book, "Swept Up: Lessons from the End Times" as a launchpad for discussing the impact of our childhood experiences with religion. We explore commonalities among those who grew up in religions that either emphasized the "End Times" doctrine or focused heavily on the Heaven-Hell afterlife dichotomy. Living purely on faith or solely on logic both have issues - what is the right path forward?

Overall, the episode highlights the complex and nuanced nature of religious upbringing and its lasting impact on individuals' beliefs and perspectives.

About Our Guest
Matthew Garnier recently published a comedic memoir about religious upbringing, "Swept Up: Lessons From the End Times" with tales (and lessons) from church, home-schooling, and a few strange years at a major evangelical university
