Hello readers, now that we’re caught up with “the schedule”I think we can really focus more on this journey we’re embarking on with these readings, speaking of which, here’s another card from my trusty hermetic tarot: The five of swords, Lord of defeat. Have you been feeling defeated lately? Have you wanted to give up the fight? Do you feel that it may no longer be worth fighting against the current of crap seemingly flowing your way? You’re not alone. there are many people in these hard times feeling this way, and it’s alarming! Fortunately, that doesn’t mean you don’t have a choice, but rather that you’re human. If you cant take the pressure, and you need a rest, take a day off, just give yourself that time to catch your breath, mope around, veg out, and then get up the next morning, grab your incense, herbs, cup of coffee or tea, and take the day! you are only truly defeated when you stop fighting. One of the reasons the catholic conquest was so absolute was because the church realized this, and before them the roman empire did as well, and hence they always did everything in their power to assimilate the opposing or conquered culture into their own, effectively destroying enemies by either enslaving them or turning them into friends. This is precisely what we want to avoid here, to keep our individuality, our right to happiness, and it is up to you to move forward and make your dreams happen, no matter the obstacles in your path, and with this, my dear readers, I open the floor to comments and opinions; I’d like to hear what you have to say on the subject or perhaps what you think of this project? Until next time readers, Blessed Be!
