In this episode we explore a practice that began as a card game and became one of the most recognized tools for self-reflection in the world. That practice is tarot, a symbolic language of 78 cards that has traveled from the courts of 15th century Italy to the secret societies of the 1800s to the Rider-Waite-Smith deck most of us picture today.

At its core, tarot is divided into the Major Arcana, the big archetypes and spiritual stages of the Fool’s journey, and the Minor Arcana, four suits of cups, wands, swords, and pentacles that speak to the details of daily life. Its mystical reputation came later, and it is still evolving. Today, many readers approach the cards not as prediction but as a mirror, a way of bringing forward what we already know at a subconscious level.

Julia Cubo Pinette is a tarot reader and sound healer from the north coast of Spain. Her path began in music, with piano and voice training from a young age across jazz, pop, and the classical operatic tradition. She studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston and completed her master’s degree in opera in Wales under the renowned tenor Dennis O’Neill. After years of performing across Europe, Julia discovered that her voice carried the power to heal, which led her into sound healing, trauma work, and ultimately tarot. Today she weaves the vibrations of sound with her intuitive gifts and the wisdom of the cards, offering tarot readings and vocal liberation techniques that help clients release blocks, reconnect with their authentic selves, and realign with purpose.
