August at the Shuffle
Free journal, new events, and more
Hi little coven, happy August (or almost-August, anyway)!
How was your July? Mine was weird (definitely got caught up in the undertoe of this Mercury Retrograde in Cancer, my GOD).
But also lovely: My wonderful friend and recent podcast guest Monica Hay came to visit, I’ve been diving deep into the 40th anniversary edition of Rachel Pollack’s Tarot: The Open Labyrinth, loving the shares and conversations in our Shadow Path Telegram group, AAAAND I’ve gotten hyperfocused on making tarot earrings.
Here’s what I’ve got cooking for you this month:
The August Daily Tarot Journal is ready!
Grab the free Notion template and/or opt in to daily journal prompts via the link at the bottom of this email. You’ll also find the card of the month + an exclusive tarot spread in the Notion template.
Here’s what else is coming your way this month:
The following is planned programming for the Shuffle this month but as always, in honor of the ~random~ nature of shuffling, I reserve the right to share other bits and bobs as I’m inspired!
Leo Oracle: Madonna
a reflection on what the Hiegh Priestess of Pop can teach us about creative living as we move through Leo season, landing on her birthday, August 16th
Summer of Shadow continues
Over in journaling club, we’re still moving through our ten-week journey that pairs gentle shadow work exercises with tarot themes, inspired by my book, THE SHADOW PATH.
On Mondays, I’ll keep sending out short, free-to-read reflections on that week’s card and theme.
Want to join us late? That’s allowed!
Summer Catch Up
I’m still catching up on some of the leftover projects I’ve teased in past monthly roundups - so I’ll be working behind the scenes on my best collage decks list, a new Sister Cards instalment, and an update on my DIY deck art project.
You’ll get them whenever they’re ready!
Some Upcoming Events
On August 22nd, I’ll be a guest teacher for The Survival Kit Writer’s Collective, leading my signature Tarot for Creativity workshop. Learn more about the program here.
In September, I’m returning to Crit Witch Con! An annual virtual festival for critical witches. This year’s theme is radical rest, and you can expect two workshops and a panel appearance from me. Tickets are on sale now.
I am always open to conversations about collaboration and co-design. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to have me speak to your community, read tarot for your writer’s group, business mastermind, book club, or creative collective, hire me for virtual tarot parties (or for IRL events in Europe), or design something bespoke together. Drop me an email to brainstorm at hi@chelseypippin.com
Catch up on what you missed:
Cancer season may be over, but these creative lessons from artist Artemisia Gentileschi are evergreen.
I got to talk to three excellent creatives this month, Monica Hay, Erik Furher and Amber Petty for The Shuffle Podcast. Catch up on episodes here.
