Understanding Tarot’s Acolyte Cards
The acolyte cards are strong medicine. They all concern fate in some way, if only as an idea, and limit our personal power to dispense their wisdom.
Understanding Tarot’s Acolyte Cards
The acolytes are special because they clearly illustrate the role of power and control. This early sequence of acolyte cards deals with naturalized power and control.
The Aphrodites, The Lovers & The Devil
This, of course, is Common Aphrodite, or Aphrodite Pandemos. There’s a split among the ancients about the two Aphrodites: one, the Aphrodite who tortured the future mother of her grandchild and the other who embodied the most high minded love, Aphrodite Ourania or Heavenly Aphrodite

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.
