BTW 52: 8 of Pentacles – Getting In The Flow with Alejandra Alejandra Luisa León, the Lioness Oracle
Between the Worlds Podcast
Mastery and Relationships: A Journey Through Tarot
This chapter delves into the interconnectedness of hard work, relationships, and personal growth through the lens of tarot cards, particularly the Eight of Pentacles and the Ten of Swords. It emphasizes the importance of communication, self-love, and the courage to confront challenges while exploring the transformative journey of letting go of the past. The discussion is enriched with pop culture references and highlights the significance of creativity and mastery in achieving personal milestones.
Today we’re talking about the 8 of Pentacles, all about mastering your craft and makin’ those coins. When the 8 of Pents comes up, you’re being called to know your craft so well, to be so confident in it, that you can innovate. You’re not checking to see what other people are doing or if you’re getting it right. You’re paying attention to the materials and listening to what wants to emerge. Whether that’s in your practice as a witch or a musician, or a podcaster or whatever you’re doing. Your real work and practice begins when you’re able to innovate according to what wants to be done, not what what is imposed by the outside.
Join us as we discuss how to find your flow with artist, astrologer and tarotista, Alejandra Luisa León. She began collaging as a way to process grief, and The Lioness Oracle Tarot was the result. Since then she has hand collaged and published two other decks: The Stars Divine (an Astrology deck) and Vision of the Muse. On top of running her online business, she also gives readings and teaches. She resides in Oakland, California.
We know you're going to love her as much as we do. Join us!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS - ACE OF PENTACLES: ABUNDANCE MAGICK
Abundance is already present, but remembering that can be a challenge in a culture that’s modeled on scarcity. True abundance includes rest, love, nourishment, inspiration, security, and pleasure. In this workshop we will establish a new relationship to abundance, inspired by the natural systems of the earth and the wisdom tradition of the tarot.
This workshop includes:
- Invocation to call in abundance whenever you want or need to
- A beautiful PDF including special correspondences, FAQs, deities, a reference list and more
- A tarot spread for abundance
- 3 easy abundance rituals for daily use (or whenever you need)
- 1 expansive ritual done in the live workshop to call abundance into your life right now
- An abundance meditation you can use whenever you need to get into that state of flow
- And so much more!
