BTW 27: 10 of Wands – Unburden Yourself with adrienne maree brown

Join us for our season finale with superstar special guest, writer and activist adrienne maree brown! We talk about her favorite decks, the pleasures of tarot, the power of witchcraft, and the truth about the 10 of Wands. Usually the 10 of Wands appears when you're feeling burdened, overwhelmed, and when you can't see a way out of the trouble. In the Thoth deck, the 10 of Wands is known as "Oppression" but in this episode we spin that meaning on its head using the wisdom of Octavia Butler. Oppression always implies resistance, and what if your tactic for resistance is... pleasure? Tune in to find out!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

*The Way of the Wands – A 10-Week Workshop *

Wands are the tools of invocation: the act of calling something into being. In this workshop, we'll be cultivating your ability to focus, and work with the energy of transformation (instead of getting worked over by it) you’ll get weekly one-sheets, meditations, live calls, rituals, tarot spreads, and you'll get to join our special forum to connect with our beautiful community.

This is a Between the Worlds workshop and can be purchased as a one off, or is included in your Jupiter level subscriber membership. Click here to register.

9/18/20 5pm PST NEW MOON IN VIRGO HEALING RITUAL

During this ritual, as Mars enters its retrograde and the New Moon in Virgo appears we will be focusing on setting intentions; clearing blocks; going deeper into our physical practices; connecting with our most authentic self; and increasing our capacity for joy presence, and pleasure in our bodies, hearts, and minds.

DURING THIS RITUAL WE WILL BE:

• Receiving guidance and encouragement from our Holy Guardian Angels (our deepest, most authentic selves) for the next step in living out our purpose.
• Using ritual techniques to restore our energy and sense of wellbeing
• Releasing outmoded beliefs from our bodies and using intention and guided meditation.
