    Episode 153: The Seven of Pentacles

    #153 The Seven of Pentacles This is a card of sustainability, of harvesting what you need versus taking it all. Melissa sees this card of taking all the intentions and goals you harvest. There is some frustration involved, which makes this similar to the other suit sevens. There may be some harsh reality of working hard and either succeeding (RWS) versus the Luna Sol Tarot which is Thoth-based. Hilary says this card is the “pick your hard” card.   Homework: Choose your hard work and stay the course. Pick one thing and finish it, close your circle.   Grab your tickets for Kitchen Table Gathering now!

    Episode 152: We're Not the Seven of Swords

    No one likes a thief and a liar and a sneaky person. The Seven of Swords talks about how trust and knowledge can be stolen. It’s a spikey card of subterfuge where the “person trying to get away with it” will get caught. Melissa sees this as how much do you trust the folks around you. It can also represent cheating on a partner (whether it’s you or others). Hilary sees this card as a “thinking about” card, that the person is not trustful. And sometimes this person is an aspect of you where you may try and get away with something. Jaymi reads this card as someone is out to get you and you gotta watch your back.   Homework: Why do people lie? Find out your reasons for yourself and others and see how it reflects back into the Seven of Swords. How does this hurt and how can you learn through the situation?   Grab your tickets for Kitchen Table Gathering now!

    Episode 151 : The Seven of Cups

    It’s all a conspiracy! The Seven of Cups has so much symbolism you can get steeped in the lore. Melissa sees this card as your wishes and where you can go with what you want. There’s an aspect of whimsy and dream-like quality. Hilary calls this the idea-rrhea card. Too many choices. Jaymi sees this card as the window shopping card where you need to choose what you want wisely. Do you take one of the cups of the deadly sins, or do you move on to get what aligns to your path?   Homework: Do the Ace of Cups and Seven of Cups trick with a deck of your choice and see how you can manifest your best path from all those choices.   Grab your tickets for Kitchen Table Gathering now!

    Episode 150: The Seven of Wands

    #150 The Seven of Wands The Cardslingers discuss their views of the Seven of Wands. There’s movement, chaos, and hard stances shown in the Smith Waite deck. Melissa’s view is that this is a bad intentions card, not a good position and shows an untrustworthy situation. Hilary says it’s about defending your turf, and standing your ground. Jaymi believes that there is a cause for why you feel so defensive and need to stand your ground. Viewer Nat says, “In the Peculiar Pathways Tarot (out of print) by Lennox Rees, the Seven of Wands is depicted by a squirrel on top of a ladder holding a bone and a dog jumping and barking up the ladder.”   Homework: Find a cause to defend, doesn’t have to be a monetary donation, it can be a small action.   Grab your tickets for Kitchen Table Gathering now!

    Episode 149: Intro to the Sevens

    There’s so much going on with the number seven, both in general and in tarot’s structure and mythology.   Across history, and in many cultures there’s so many associations with the number seven. There are seven days of the week. Seven continents with seven seas. Seven colors of a rainbow. Seven major stars in the big dipper. Seven deadly sins and virtues. Seven notes in a major/minor scale. Seven chakras. Seven wonders of the ancient and natural world. Seven metals of antiquity.   In tarot, seven has a mixed reception. Melissa’s represents the sevens as conflict, and impatience. You don’t get what you want, yet. You still need to put in the work and wait for it to manifest.   Homework: Look up what seven means to you. Compare and contrast all 7s with one another to what we’ve said.   Melissa has a Patreon! Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/cw/Melissacynova.

    Episode 148: What Readings Can and Cannot Do

    The Cardslingers catch up on life. Then they discuss their thoughts on what tarot readings are, what they can do, and what they cannot do. While we understand that our clients want specific answers, or even someone to make the call for them, or even not give homework, each reader deals with these topics differently and through which medium. We go into the idea of “Sacred Silliness”. Merch update, we’re still working on it all.   Homework: If you can prove that you’ve listened to all the episodes, Melissa promises to send you a free sticker.   Melissa has a Patreon!
