Hello Spooky Children! We hope you all had a great holiday, and continue to celebrate as the year comes to an end. We also had a late announcement for all of your listeners -

There won’t be an episode this week, but we’ll have a brand new episode ready for you all next week. We’re taking this week to recharge, spend more time with loved ones, and plan out what 2022 has in store for Truth and Scare.
We love you all! Thank you so much for the support. 🖤❤️🖤

Another episode, another tarot card! This week’s pull was the Eight of Coins Inverted. Upright, this card signifies good fortune and financial reward typically as a result of hard and honest work. Inverted, it can represent financial destruction at your own hand. This feels easily connected to the Martha Moxley case, in which Michael Skakel’s wealthy family spent thousands of dollars to clear his name, only for the private investigator to find him probably guilty. To hear more about this case listen to episode 57 of Truth and Scare, available now!
