The Hierophant, the Lovers, and the Chariot Tarot for the Wild Soul Episode 148: Deepening Tarot Connections: The Hierophant, The Lovers, and The Chariot Air Date: January 14, 2021 __ [Introduction] [0:00:00] (​Instrumental intro music) [0:00:12] Hello Loves and welcome back to Tarot for the Wild Soul podcast. I am your host, Lindsay Mack, and as always, it is such a joy, a delight and an honor to be gathered with you in this virtual space that we're sharing. Thank you so much for being here. I just want to start the podcast by offering a lot of love and acknowledgement to the nervous systems, hearts of all the folx listening to this. If you are still feeling rattled and deeply affected by the attempted coup by insurrectionists, white supremacists, that took place in the United States on the Capitol Building, it is not only utterly and completely understandable but, in fact, normal to have such a strong or overwhelmed response to such a violating event. The ripple effects from it are imbued with injustice and rage and the absolute need for accountability, for accounting of harms, to name a few, like demands and needs. I just really wanted to name first and foremost that if you're feeling tender, touchy, exhausted, enraged, all of the feelings, they're all valid and I am with you in them and witnessing you in them. And I hope that, in the best way that you're able, that you can really nourish and honor your body and your nervous systems as best as you can. I think sometimes when we talk about nourishing the body, we immediately go to a particular kind of action or food or whatever. I just mean, like nourish in whatever way ​actually​ nourishes you; that is inclusive of anything that is really, again, deeply offers that kind of bone level nourishment, of soul level nourishment. So, just naming that. [0:02:27] And kind of in light of that, in light of what's going on, collectively, politically, kind of across the board, we're deepening our conversations around Tarot connections today and what we're really looking at in this series is the way that certain tarot cards make music together. Each tarot card when it comes up connects with another card, a group of cards - it creates a kind of a song.​ And sometimes we're not so attuned to that. It's not as easy to kind of meet that song, meet those connections, at the level that they're coming at. It's really easy for the brain to be like, © All materials property of Lindsay Mack and Tarot for the Wild Soul “Well, these cards don't make sense together.” Then, we kind of miss maybe the beauty and the dissonance or whatever it is. So this is sort of, a part of... ​one​ way because, and I say “one way” because what we're doing in this particular series is kind of looking at the way that cards flow together, that run in kind of the structured and named “original” order of the Tarot (not “original,” there's many orders, but the order that we tend to universally look at the in). And I think that's really helpful because sometimes, when we look at kind of the lines of the Major Arcana, the way we flow from a Two to a Three to a Four, maybe in the minors or from an Ace to - rather, from Page to a King, we can tend to think, “Ugh, geez, I can't see the story.” So we're just exploring a little bit of that. I feel like it's a whole other thing to look at cards out of that order. And to see, like, if you got the Emperor reversed with the Seven of Swords and, you know, maybe the Ace of Wands, what kind of song would that make? And that's a big part of Soul Tarot, is honoring and trusting that any card grouping, any card pulls that we have together, there is a medicine to it, there is a power to it, even if it doesn't, quote, “look like it makes sense.” There's always something to be gained even if it bounces you over to the next thing. [0:04:43] So the cards that we're going to be exploring this week are Hierophant, Lovers and The Chariot. The reason that I mentioned that it was sort of inspired a bit by what I'm really witnessing - a lot of what we're seeing right now in the first week and a half (Lindsay Laughs) of 2021 is enormously potent examples of Hierophant work. The Hierophant​ is all about investigation of Source.​ Who is your Source? What is your Source? What are you listening to? Who are you listening to? You know, what source inside of yourself do you listen to? Do you tend to give a lot more credence than perhaps what is necessary to very old, outdated beliefs that may be, and I want to be so - I have these, too, so I don't want to in any way be diminishing about this - but for many of us, you know, beliefs feel so true, right? We can start to believe something and we've seen a lot of evidence for how far it can carry us out of our center. So Hierophant is about a reckoning with that. It's a hard energy. If we've really been honoring, following, believing, investing in a source that does not have our highest and best good in mind, if we are not questioning that source, if we are not bringing common sense, critical thinking, the ability to see outside of what we're told - and sometimes we need some help, and some outside sources for that - it can, again, lead us very far out of our center of truth. And this card always invites us, Hierophant, to deeply reflect on, again, who we're following, what we're worshiping, what we're paying attention to. Attention is a form of devotion, is very, very powerful. What are we devoting that attention to, that preciousness to? Whose guidance and counsel do you draw from? You know, what do you draw from within yourself? Something that was told to you by somebody who didn't have your best interests at heart, and it really, really stuck, you know, does that make sense anymore, to follow, to let guide your life? Or is it time to follow your own wise counsel? You know, any places where there is something to clean up, are we cleaning it up? [0:07:28] © All materials property of Lindsay Mack and Tarot for the Wild Soul And, you know, I mentioned it on ​The Threshold​, this year, 2021, is one in a series of years that is ushering us into a new time. And I mean, new time as in different conversations, different levels of... really, of transparency, of ethics, of integrity. We're at choice right now. We're seeing that choice in others and ourselves. It's a very powerful time, but it is a reckoning time and we got into it pretty hard, just a couple days after the year started. It's got Hierophant all over it. You know, sometimes when we think, you know, “Oh, I'm in this year card, I don’t know, I'm a little confused about how this is kind of showing up for me,” really, world events are a pretty powerful place to look at not what a card is, but the kind of work it invites us into. So it's very powerful. And these three cards when they are together, and they run together in the first line of the Major Arcana, moving from Hierophant to Lovers to Chariot is, essentially - it's like a little trio chorus kind of a thing that involves a ripple effect, that is rooted in a very similar intention and invitation, radical self-choosing. And when I say “radical self-choosing,” I don't mean we're pushing away connectedness, community. When we're choosing ourselves, we're not betraying ourselves. We're not brushing ourselves away. We're not saying “yes” to something when we really mean “no.” We've all done that. We've all - we all ​do​ that. Like let's, again, take the hierarchy completely off the table. There isn't any one person who's just done with that. And it's not to say that if you're listening to this being like, “I have done my work on this, I am done on that,” I believe you and I look to you as my teacher because I think there's nothing that I'm not still learning, at least for myself, on this path. I'm very comfortable with being both teacher and student in this lifetime, you know. But I do think there are definitely things that I feel like I've definitely been offered a chance to master, you know, and in the hardest ways. [0:10:10] Hierophant is ultimately, it has ​nothing to do​ with following another person - it has to do with choosing ourselves. And to do that involves a break down of where we seek comfort, where we want others to tell us what to do, because it takes us out of the discomfort, out of the Void, out of the terror of us not knowing what the fuck we're doing (and, by the way, nobody knows what the fuck they're doing).

  • Read Tarot with Confidence
    [MODULE 2] READ TAROT WITH CONFIDENCE Q&A ROUND-UP [MODULE 2] Q&A ROUND-UP QUESTION AND ANSWER QUESTION: FEELING DISCONNECTED I have been reading Tarot on and off for around 15 years and sat in circle. I use my intuition a lot when doing readings...which often works well, but sometimes I feel I am getting nothing. I meditate before the reading and often get messages from spirit which I write down. This helps with the reading. But yesterday when a friend came around for a reading, I really felt she was closed down and I panicked a little and found it difficult to read the cards. I really felt there was only one message about work and I felt like I wasn’t giving enough, but maybe that was all that she was meant to hear? Can you offer any advice? BRIGIT’S RESPONSE I think it’s natural to go through periods where you’re not connecting with your cards or your client for whatever reason. The first step is simply to acknowledge that and know that it’s OK to feel that way every now and then. What you don’t want to do is go into a panic and start stressing that you’ll never be able to read the Tarot cards again! If you feel that your client is not fully open to the experience of the reading and this might be impacting your ability to connect with the messages that need to come through, then call it. Say to your client (or friend), “I’m noticing your energy is not as present in this reading as it could be for a really clear reading.

  • Major Arcana the Following Is the Journey of the Major Arcana
    The Major Arcana The following is the journey of the Major Arcana. We are going to go through them briefly together, but it is also super essential you spend time with this journey over the next week! This course is taught from the Angel Tarot, and you can use the Angel Tarot, or the Archangel Power Tarot, both by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine. Of course this information can be applied to any card deck! The Major Arcana in general are some very powerful cards! In general they hold greater weight and meaning than the “minor arcana” (which are the other suites that will be discussed). They are also referred to as the trump cards and are the foundational piece of the Tarot deck. They make up the first 21 cards in the deck, and tell a really beautiful story. They are representative of a path to spiritual self awareness and unveil the different stages of life as we move thorough our path. They all hold very deep meaningful lessons. The recording in this week goes through those, and it is also important you listen to your own heart in what they mean to you. If a lot of Major Arcana appear, pay attention to two main points: 1. The person you are reading for may be going through some big life changes. 2. The more that appear the less free will and choice that person may have (but of course there is ALWAYS free will and choice). The Major Arcana cards are all numbered, and in the Angel Tarot are associated with an Angel.

  • Tarot 1 Tarot
    Tarot 1 Tarot The tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/; first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi, tarock, and others) is a pack of playing cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From the late 18th century until the present time the tarot has also found use by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways. The tarot has four suits (which vary by region, being the French suits in Northern Europe, the Latin suits in Southern Europe, and the German suits in Central Europe). Each of these suits has pip cards numbering from ace to ten and four face cards for a total of 14 cards. In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit. François Rabelais gives tarau as the name of one of the games played by Gargantua in his Gargantua and Pantagruel;[1] this is likely the earliest attestation of the French form of the name.[citation needed] Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play card games. In English-speaking countries, where these games are largely unplayed, tarot cards are now used primarily for divinatory purposes. Occultists call the trump cards and the Fool "the major arcana" while the ten pip Visconti-Sforza tarot deck.

  • Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES in TAROT Applying
    Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES IN TAROT Applying elemental dignities analysis to a tarot reading helps identify the precise points of imbalances in a Seeker’s life or situation. The various energies and traits of a person (or even a situation) per Western theosophy can be categorized as Fire, Water, Air, or Earth in essence. For harmony in one’s life, there should be a balance of the four elements within. When two elements seem to vie for dominance and those elements are also in opposition, there will be flux, uncertainties, a sense of instability and insecurity. When active elements dominate, there may be a lack of peace, and instead, too much competition, battling, conflict, and strife. When passive elements dominate, there may be little progress, feeling overwhelmed, and controlled rather than in control. Interpreting a tarot reading by the card meanings help the Seeker understand what is going on; interpreting elemental dignities enhances that understanding by explaining why. Dignity as used in this context is defined as external manifestation of the card’s innate properties. It is the state of being activated with the full potential of its essence. An Elemental Dignity describes that state with more specificity—it is the external manifestation of a tarot card’s innate elemental essence, given that each card is governed innately by one of the four elements, Fire, Water, Air, or Earth, and thus has the potential of fully embodying the traits associated with that element. (Note however that the card’s energies would further be modified by the numerological correspondence and other factors.) Benebell Wen, www.benebellwen.com Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books, forthcoming 2014) Supplemental Sheets When a card from the suit of Wands is said to be dignified, it means it is fully charged and activated with the energies of its corresponding element.

  • THE VEIL of ISIS by Jeni Bethell
    THE VEIL OF ISIS by Jeni Bethell In the Major Arcana of the Tarot, The High Priestess is said to represent the receptacle of which the Magician, the seed, has need. It is through this union between the feminine, passive, unconscious High Priestess and the Magician’s masculine, activating self-consciousness, that the animating principle of the Magician can be activated by the Empress. One of the roles of mythology is to present to us concepts, sometimes quite complex, which, when personalised in story, can be more readily digested and comprehended. The great Egyptian goddess, Isis, was worshipped far and wide for over 3000 years as Magician, as devoted wife and mother (Empress) and also as High Priestess, guardian of the veil. In presenting a little of the mythology surrounding Isis, I hope to demonstrate, by analogy, the profound role the High Priestess energy plays in linking the energies of Magician and Empress, and also to shed a little light on the great spiritual wisdom She, the High Priestess, offers. The Journeys of Isis Perhaps the most famous myths surrounding Isis concern her journeys in search of her beloved brother and husband, Osiris. Their evil brother, Seth, had tricked Osiris into lying in a sarco phagus that was then nailed down and set afloat on the Nile. It ultimately landed in Byblos, was enwrapped by a tamarisk tree which was cut down by the king to form a pillar for the roof of his palace. Having eventually located Osiris and brought him back to Egypt, Isis, adopting the wings of a kite, breathed life ba ck into Osiris's body.

  • The Red Violin
    THE RED VIOLIN By Robert Gordon Kille Adobe Lodge XLI Mostly parapharsed, (stolen) from vaious sources.... ctually, the story of the Red Violin spans Afive countries and over 300 years from the time it was created in 1681 by Niccolò Bussoti in Cremona, Italy to its sale at the Duval auction house in Montreal, Canada in 1997. At the beginning of the film, Bussoti’s wife Anna asks her servant Cesca to read her fortune according to the Tarot cards. Five cards are laid out on the table, and Cesca overturns each one at various points in the movie. The first card to be overturned is The Moon, which Cesca interprets as pointing to a long life with many journeys. This fortune is in contradiction to Anna’s fate, as Anna dies shortly thereafter in childbirth. As the movie progresses, it ecomes apparent that the remaining Tarot cards The Hanged Man, The Devil, Justice, and Death—are actually describing the “life” of the Red Violin. What do all five Tarot cards mean? The first card, The Moon (La Luna), is inter- preted by Cesca as meaning “a long life, full and rich” with many journeys. In the context of the movie, it refers to the birth of the Red Violin and its journey through life. The second card, The Hanged Man (L’Impiccato), warns of “danger” and “dis- ease” and corresponds to the violin’s child- hood with Kaspar Weiss. 1 esca describes The Devil (Il Diavolo), as referring to “a time of lust and energy”, Cduring which she will meet a handsome, intelligent, and seductive man.

    0. THE FOOL This card represents youth, freedom, and the beginning of a jour- ney. The Fool is the wild card, capable of infinite possibilities and paths towards the future. It represents unlimited and unfettered freedom of the soul. In a negative context, this card can indicate naiveté and ignorance of the world, as well as reckless or risky behaviour that may put oneself or others into danger. I. THE MAGICIAN This card represents the realization of incredible potential. The Magician is creative, powerful, and awe-inspiring, often being seen as an ideal for those around them. In a negative context, this card warns against falling into mediocrity, as well as an inability to live up to one’s idea of greatness, or an inability to communicate meaningfully with others. It also indicates confusion, frustration, stagnation and succumbing to self-doubt or insecurity. II. THE HIGH PRIESTESS This card represents the power of knowledge and wisdom. The High Priestess’s inaction is a result of having done all that they can and knowing that the rest is in the universe’s hands, choos- ing to rely on their intuition, experience and intelligence to guide them. The High Priestess is calm and possesses extroardinary insight. In a negative context, this card can indicate a lack of personal harmony; someone whose judgement is clouded by stress and uncertainty, often overly concerned with the lives of others around them. III. THE EMPRESS This card represents the concept of motherhood, as well as the guidance and rulership of a matriarchal figure. The Empress has dominion over all life, and is the loving, nurturing figure of the Major Arcana.
