No Tuesday Tarot Today

I’m in a car all day traveling back from a job hunting/baby smooshing trip. We’ll do the Justice card some justice next week but in the meantime…

Tuesday Tarot: The Wheel of Fortune

No, silly, not the game show!

So we’ve looped back around to the beginning numerologically: 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 again. More accurately, the combination of the qualities of 0 and 1. Therefore, the 10th Trump is the “embodiment of growth and the reciprocal action between opposites.” Case calls it the “eternal creativeness of Life Power whirling forth.”

Artemis: Virgin of the Wild Hunt

Artemis is a Greek maiden goddess of nature and the moon. A fairly solitary goddess, she is sometimes seen in the company of her twin brother Apollo or her collection of maiden huntresses. She is also sometimes known as the leader of the Wild Hunt, a Celtic legend.

Yoga of Witchcraft 2: BKS Iyengar

When I first thought about writing about yoga on this blog, I didn’t plan for it to be a regular thing, per se. I figured maybe once or twice a year I would write an article about how yoga was affecting my spiritual practice, but that would pretty much be it. It turns out I have a lot more to say, so this will be the second in a monthly series of yoga posts. YAY!!

Tuesday Tarot: The Hermit

Case kind of disappears down a Qaballistic rabbit hole at the beginning of this lesson, which is a shame because the Hermit is an interesting card. I’ll give a quick summary of his rambling before we get into the meat of the lesson.

Kwan Yin: Mercy & Motherhood

Kwan Yin is an East Asian goddess of mercy. She is a Bodhisattva, which in Buddhism I believe one who has attained enlightenment. She is most often associated with infertility and other types of physical suffering.

Lavender (lavandula officianalis): Magickal Xanax!

Lavender is probably the most popular herb I’ve run across. It has tons of medicinal and magickal uses, and most of them are centered around its legendary calming and relaxing effects. Check the label on your favorite herbal Sleepytime or Dream Enhancer tea and you’ll definitely find lavender among its ingredients.

Tuesday Tarot: Strength and How the Cards Work Together

Before we start to talk about Strength, I want to review some of what we’ve already covered. In the Number Symbolism post, I showed the cards arranged in a grid of three rows. We’ve finished covering the cards in the first row of that grid.

Penny Dreadful: The Witchiest Ladies on TV

Oh come on! You guys had to know I was going to tackle this one! It’s got everything us weirdos are supposed to love: mist filled Victorian settings, semi-obscure literary references, blood and guts! But I’m trying to play it straight on this blog, so we’re going to focus on what I, as a feminist eclectic witch, find most important: strong female characters! Since the second season finishes up this coming Sunday, now’s as good a time as any…
