Romantic Adventures’ Tami Rose Talks Tarot, Pop Culture, Radical Intimacy in New Substack Series
(Pearl, MS / July 23, 2025) – Tami Rose, owner of Mississippi’s erotic boutique Romantic Adventures, is diving deep into archetypes, intimacy and the power of presence through two bold new series on her Substack, TamiRoseSaidIt.
The first, Friday Kaleidoscope, explores the tarot Court Cards through the lens of cultural icons, starting with ‘Hugh Hefner as the King of Wands’. “Love him or hate him, he proved something important: you don’t have to choose between being smart and being sexual,” writes Rose. “The King of Wands doesn’t apologize for taking up space.” Through Hefner’s rise and unraveling, she illustrates how tarot’s Fire King archetype can illuminate both legacy and ego: “Hefner changed the world in a bathrobe. The question isn’t whether he was perfect – no king is. The question is: what did he teach us about the power and responsibility that comes with holding fire?”
Meanwhile, Rose’s Micro-Mance Tuesday series taps into a trending Google topic with surprising emotional depth. “In 2025, everyone’s talking about micro-mance like it’s some cute new dating trend,” she writes. “But most people are missing the point entirely.” Rose redefines micro-mance as intentional presence: “I want poetry when we’re naked. Rumi in the bathtub. Sunday afternoons that stretch into evening because neither of us reaches for our phones.”
In both series, Rose applies her signature voice – part mystic, part provocateur – to challenge superficial connection and celebrate the sacred in everyday love. “Anyone can text ‘good morning.’ But who’s going to call you with Rumi?” she asks. “Gaming updates and dad jokes aren’t intimacy. They’re entertainment.”
A longtime sexual wellness educator and tarot teacher, Rose’s work centers on truth-telling, myth-busting, and empowering her audience to lead lives rich with purpose, pleasure, and archetypal resonance. “Tarot is the bridge I built between insight and action,” she writes. “Not just to divine your future, but to design it with purpose, power, and archetypal energy.”
