The Skeptical Shaman: Rachel White’s OMEN Oracles

In this engaging episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, we meet Rachel White, a multifaceted creator who has bridged various spiritual practices. Rachel shares insights about her Totem Tarot deck, which reimagines traditional tarot archetypes with mythological figures as varied as Odin, Venus and Coyote. Rachel - who has a bit of the trickster humour herself - is lively, informed and wise. She gives the world a modern shamanistic approach that can navigate corporate conversations right along with the complexities of the inner realm.

This conversation, with Archetypal Tarot Podcast host Cyndera Quackenbush, delves into Rachel’s multifaceted journey, from her 23 years in the corporate world to embracing shamanism and herbalism full-time. Rachel discusses her herbalism practices, including creating flower essences and integrating them into her latest oracle deck, The Totem Flower Essence Deck, which merges plant medicine with archetypal wisdom.

This episode explores how tarot, herbalism, and plant allies can guide self-reflection and manifestation, offering listeners a unique blend of mysticism, practical wisdom, and personal growth. Enjoy and check out Rachel’s links below!
