One of the most powerful illusions that grips our collective psyche is the illusion of control. The hanged man appears as a reminder that it is time to surrender to the greater forces of nature/God/the Universe.

Tarot for Divorce – The Star
I had fun the other day writing about the 3 of swords and the Tower because I like to build up my fearlessness and ruggedness and strength. Tough times require pulling up our proverbial bootstraps and using our pain and anger as catalyst for growth. Can I get a hell-ya?! What I love about Tarot, is …
Tarot for Divorce – 3 of Swords
When I was creating an original Divorce Spread for myself a few months ago, I pulled one of my favorite cards in one of the bestest positions. The question I asked was ‘What did I carry into this partnership that I am leaving behind?” 3 of Swords. Necessary heartbreak. Beautiful ugly terrifying mandatory heartbreak. Did the …

7 of Swords – Fuck it.
Whats the point? Forget it. Fuck it. The saboteur has come to stay. Every inspirational idea or plan you have is useless. You’re broken, your sword is broken. It’s not gonna work.

Queen of Swords – Fierce Authenticity!
There’s a lot of bullshit talk about authenticity in personal growth-landia. What does it really mean to be authentic? Truly authentic people are the ones we call strange. They actually do not fit in, and do not try to. They are funny looking funny talking and totally weird. How many of us are actually dancing on …
Queen of Disks – Feelin’ Horny!
The first thing I notice about this gorgeous card is that this queen has a pair of the nicest horns I have ever seen on a woman! Horny. It’s an interesting word, supposedly originally referring to the masculine genitalia in full bloom. As in “He’s got a horn!”. But also, I have always imagined that it …
Queen of Wands – True Pussy Power!
Here is a classic representation of Feminine Power as worldly power. Radiant, graceful, natural and confident. Look how she sits, with her legs firmly planted, and separated. She cannot be swayed. The cat sits perfectly between her open legs and I believe this card represents true Pussy Power! Wands represent the element of fire. Fire is creativity, inspiration, …
