The Devil: The Expansionist
Tarot's Devil card is an expansionist. To tarot's Devil, too much is never enough. It's a flame that's never completely fed. It always wants more.
Surviving Capitalism with the Ace of Pentacles
Here's how to activate the Ace of Pentacles to find some stability in a soul sucking world.
The Right to Free Thought: Rereading Tarot's Swords
Through free thought, by which I mean attention to detail, inquiry, and understanding, we can see that the work of tarot’s Swords isn’t good or bad.
Through free thought, we can see the role systems play in our limited ability to see the truth and accept reality. Our unwillingness or inability to think and scheme freely limits our capacity for action.
It all but ensures that we will act without thinking, and reap the consequences about which the Swords warn.
Living in Our Feelings: Rereading Tarot's Cups
“Tarot's Cups ask who we want to be. They ask us "how do you want to feel?"
This is a question that requires both creativity and intuition, one of the other virtues of tarot's suit of Cups.
The Queen of Cups, the King of Cups, the Page of Cups and even the Four and Seven of Cups show the connection between creativity and intuition.”
More than Money: Rereading Tarot's Pentacles
How did this suit about discipline, patience, labor, and stability get reduced to money?
Well, it's sort of a reflex. In a climate of scarcity, especially during a time of inflation and recession, we must find money.
It's true that Pentacles are often where money resides in a quotidian way. Yet the Pentacles speak to more than money, and certainly more than wealth.
Capitalism, Scarcity, and Tarot Love Readings
“Scarcity is very real. It's manufactured, but that doesn't mean scarcity is fake.
Capitalism doesn't work without scarcity. Its ideal is having more demand than supply. That's what scarcity means.”
