In this episode, Amanda and Sarah discuss Major Arcana 7: The Chariot.
Sometimes known as the victory card, the Chariot teaches us how to align our will so that we can accomplish our goals. A protective symbol, the Charioteer helps us establish healthy boundaries and tame our fiercest inner (and outer) critics.
We talk about the history and evolution of this card, what it can teach us and how to use the card as a tool in our magical practice. Of course, we also ruminate on examples of this card in pop culture, and get into the scary shadow side of the card as well. Libidinous horses abound!
