The British SAS have a motto: Who dares wins!
Now, if you’ve watched the TV show about the SAS origins like I have – Rogue Heroes, lotsa fun – you’ll know that this organisation started off as a very dodgy bunch with an extremely cavalier attitude towards human life, so perhaps we should take their motto with a grain of salt.
However, Tarot preaches a similar message in Life Lessons Tarot (aka Major Arcana).
To read this message the cards need to be arranged like this…

I’ve written before about how Tarot contains a holy book that charts the journey of a human soul through all the stages and experiences of life. I call these cards Life Lessons Tarot, although they’re better known as the Major Arcana.
These lessons are divided into three parts.
Last week, we revisited the first part: Childhood.
The second volume covers key experiences in adulthood.
As follows…

The Eight cards in Tarot signal a shift in the journey through each suit. They ask that you dig deeper inside yourself than you have before. They ask you to be brave. To face challenging situations full-on. Take a look…

Thanks to the coronavirus, commencement speeches have been forced online this year.
Whilst it obviously isn’t the same as having a real-life graduation, it’s been wonderful to see so many prominent members of our community take time to remember the Class of 2020.
But what lessons would Tarot wish to convey to graduates?
I believe we find the answer in the last line of the Major Arcana. Or as I like to call it, the Life Lessons section of the Tarot deck. Let’s take a look, shall we?

I finally got around to watching Westworld. Despite many recommendations from friends, I didn’t like it’s misogynistic overtones. Of course, once I started, I couldn’t stop. Which doesn’t mean it was perfect.
Here are my many thoughts on the Tarot of Westworld.
But beware, spoilers after the cut… Continue reading
I read an interesting article today that suggests the opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It’s connection. Apparently there’s a lot of research to back up this statement. It also makes sense. Emotional trauma and loss are often at the core of addiction.

Of course, all addictions are not created equal. You can addicted to cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. You can also be addicted to coffee, or in my case, milk for forty years. Some cause more damage than others. But they all cause damage. We all want solutions.
Tarot actually has a lesson to teach about addiction, which goes something like this…
I’ve been absent from this blog for quite a while. A lot of heavy shizz has been going on in my life for the last few years. That’s just how it is sometimes, for some people. I needed to focus on my personal life, and then I needed time to re-cooperate and re-generate. But now I’m ready to re-emerge back online.
In preparation for this revival I’ve been re-reading my old blog posts and am shocked at how often I apologised for not posting how and when I thought I should. How very female of me.
