0. The Fool
Look at the images, the shapes, colors, and the movement. Feel the breath in your chest rise. Allow your sternum to lift, your heart chakra to unfurl, and your shoulders to fall back. This is the release. Release the weight of your own and others’ judgments and opinions. The path unfolds around you. You have…

1. The Magician
Arm outstretched to the heavens, arm outstretched to the earth. The place between where anything is possible. You become the conduit of connection.

2. The High Priestess
The belly breath. The exhale that feels like a ripe fruit dropping from the tree. Sacred sigh. Haaaaaahhhhhh. The gut knowings. The moment when you build the bridge of trust within yourself. Secrets simmer, mysteries disrobe, and your knowings deepen. Feel the crown of your head bloom open like a flower, ready to receive messages…

3. The Empress
Deep within the earth, there is a stirring. This stirring can not be contained in neat little labels or fancy packaging. This is primal and guttural fertility. The labor pains of creation begin to be expressed differently – in pleasure. “Pleasure is not one of the spoils of capitalism. It is what our bodies, our…

5. The Hierophant
The time has come to take stock of our traditions. What do we need to divest from? Take stock of the small ways we have aligned with systems of oppression. New traditions are the medicine. We breathe from our throat chakra, the space in our body that holds our truths. All of the times when…

6. The Lovers
The choice. The moment when we have chosen to show up for ourselves and, in that, we also choose each other. In each moment is the opportunity to be present for ourselves and each other. Black Walnut ink is present in this image, representing the spellwork dripping from this piece in concert with the backdrop…

7. The Chariot
Healing is not linear. Time is not linear. Movement doesn’t need to be linear. Release yourself from the narrative of “beginning, middle, and ending”. You move at your pace, at your will. Summon yourself back to yourself by breathing deeply into the body. Ground yourself in a way that feels true to you, and feel…

8. Strength
Number 8. The infinity symbol. The endless dialogue… The body says, “I am speaking,” and we respond, “I am listening.” The universe says, “I am speaking,” and we respond, “I am listening.” Unlearning of troupes about being strong. Retelling this narrative is the bravest of work. Roar beloved roar. Roar your truth, roar your capacity…

9. The Hermit
Breathe into your solar plexus: the orb of energy that exists where the firmness of your ribs becomes the softness of your belly. Introspection and reflection. The time has come to acknowledge your inner light, the time has come to build a bridge of trust within yourself. This card holds the medicine and the magic…
