BTW 66: The Knight of Swords is Your Secret Weapon with Casey Zabala

People like to sneer at the Knight of Swords. "It's too aggressive," they say, "too domineering." But sometimes our anger can motivate us to take necessary action. Tune in to this episode where we talk about how you can use the wisdom of the Knight of Swrds to move forward in your life, with professional witch and tarot deck creator Casey Zabala. We discuss:

• How the Knight of Swords helps us connect to our inner truth
• How to recognize when you're becoming a professional witch
• Feathers as omens
• Building tolerance for discomfort, passion, and conviction (in yourself and others)
• How it's not your job to please everyone
• AOC as Knight of Swords archetype
• How the Princess Bride movie teaches us to raise energy like a witch
• What’s missing from most people’s understanding of divination
• How how the Knight of Swords can help us connect with our anger as a motivating force
