   How to Build a Tarot Spread From Scratch (No Experience Needed)

   Ever feel like past, present, future is the only spread that exists? Same. In this episode, Hannah breaks down how to actually create your own tarot spread; no witchy credentials required. Then we get into the good stuff; how to ask open-ended questions (and why "when is he going to propose?" won't get you far), why the "now" card is a secret weapon, how to layer in numerology, crystals, and candles if you want to go full ritual mode, and the one thing most beginners don't realize: you can't read for someone who hasn't given you permission. Whether you've had a deck sitting on your shelf for months or you just got your first one, this one's for you. Topics covered: Why past, present, future isn't the only option How to get to know a new deck before doing any real readings Hannah's book guessing game (yes, really — it works) What makes a good spread question (hint: keep it open-ended) Building your spread like a ritual Numerology, crystals, candles — stacking the magic Reading for someone else and keeping your energy out of it The ethics of reading for people who haven't given permission Why your spread should tell a story, not just give answers

   How Two Witches Built a Third Space

   What does it actually take to quit your nine-to-five and open the witchy shop you've been daydreaming about? We sat down with Helena and Sarah, the co-owners of Hemlock Haus, a metaphysical shop, community space, and full-on vibe in the DFW area, to find out. Spoiler: the universe literally handed them a strip mall in December 2021. But that doesn't mean it was easy. In this episode, we talk about how a late-night conversation at a vendor event turned into a Post-it board of dreams, what it looks like to grow a brick-and-mortar from scratch with zero outside funding, why you probably won't profit for three to five years, and how they accidentally built one of the most genuine community spaces around, complete with regulars who just stop by to exist somewhere safe. Whether you've got a Virgo's love of inventory or an Aquarius's complete disregard for rules, this one's for every cosmic-curious dreamer thinking about making the leap." We just show up as who we are and hope that who needs us finds us." — HelenaIn this episode, Hannah & Selena sit down with Helena and Sarah of Hemlock Haus, a metaphysical shop in the DFW area. They talk about: How a vendor event conversation in 2021 sparked the idea for the store Why they spent nearly a year building online before opening their doors What it's really like to leave corporate work behind (Helena quit the week of their current location's opening) The truth about small business finances and why profits might not come for three to five years How they grew from a tiny former dentist's office to a 4,800 sq ft space in just three and a half years Their approach to curating inventory: supporting small businesses, LGBTQ+, women-owned, and POC-run vendors The unexpected gift of community; regulars, safe-space moments, and people who just need somewhere to be Their number one advice for aspiring shop owners Find Hemlock Haus: Website:  hemlockhaus.com  (https://www.hemlockhaus.com/) 2nd Annual Goth Prom -> tickets available nowmetaphysical shop, witchy small business, DFW witch, small business advice, leaving corporate job, brick and mortar, crystal shop, tarot, astrology, pendulum, candle magick, Oracle cards, Hemlock Haus, community space, female founders, LGBTQ business, woman owned business, witchy Texas
