304. Magic Maker with Pam Grossman!

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul November 16, 2025 Duration: 1:13:18

Legend alert! Today we have the luminous and divine Pam Grossman on the podcast to speak about her brand-new book, Magic Maker (available for purchase here!)! 

Pam is a dream and a joy, and it was such a gift to speak with her about everything from the unassuming magic of growing up in suburban NJ, to working with The Magician card as a muse for the writing process of Magic Maker, to the importance of art, creation, and craft in devastating times (and so much more!).

Honoring and acknowledging that this podcast episode was recorded on the unceded land of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, currently called Portland, OR, with the deepest respect to the Kalapuya Tribe, Cowlitz Tribe, and Atfalati Tribe.


Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul, guides this unique audio space where the ancient wisdom of the Tarot meets a deeply grounded, modern heart. Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack moves far beyond fortune-telling, instead using the cards as a mirror for our inner landscapes-a tool for understanding our patterns, healing, and personal growth. Each episode is built on an inclusive, trauma-informed perspective that prioritizes compassion and critical thinking over prediction. You’ll find the conversations here are practical, rooted in common sense, and designed to make the archetypal lessons of the Tarot accessible to everyday life. Listeners join a growing community, evidenced by millions of downloads, for regular deep dives into specific cards, insightful lessons on weaving Tarot into a spiritual practice, and monthly channeled messages that offer reflective nourishment. This podcast serves as a gentle, powerful companion for anyone seeking to explore their own wild soul with more kindness and clarity, using the Tarot as a map rather than a crystal ball.
