"What Tarot Card Represents Me?" is Only the First Question
If we don't have an end goal in mind as to why we are learning tarot, it becomes yet another spiritual commodity.
Archetypal Reduction: The Empress, Beyoncé, and Capitalism
“Archetypal reduction is when people and events get pigeonholed into a single archetype. This isn't ideal, because almost all of us embody more than one archetype.
It's a way of neglecting human complexity. It can be a path to celebrity worship. More than anything, it's rarely accurate. “
Money Magic for Anti-Capitalists
Capitalism's fucked up. It isolates us from another. It means that some people are unable to meet their need for connection, food, clothing, and shelter.
It also means that some people's needs go unmet while a small group of people take and waste too much.
Enter magic, with its emphasis on personal power. For some forms of extra capitalist witchcraft, this is a form of self empowerment.

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.
