When the 7 of Pentacles comes up in a reading it's a sign that we’re worried about all the ways we might fail. But the 7 of Pentacles offers us an opportunity to turn failure into an act of rebellion and … pleasure.In this episode we discuss the relationship between the 7 of Pentacles and the Chariot card; its correspondence to Saturn in Taurus; how 7s usually portend and initiation of some kind; and analyze it all through the lens of Jack Halberstam's glorious book, THE QUEER ART OF FAILURE. We also go into a discussion of the relationship of the 7 of Pentacles to gardening; how plants teach you about love and loss; abuelita knowledge; how to recognize when a plant wants to work with you; creating refuges; how fungi create networks of intelligence; and what we should do if we know the world is ending tomorrow.Our guest this week is queer artist, herbalist, and plant lover Flora Pacha, previously known as La Loba Loca, host of the WildWeeds Podcast, teacher of feminist brujeria workshops, keeper of pigs, and tender of lands. We love them and we can’t wait to introduce you! Join us.To find out more about our ACE OF PENTACLES: ABUNDANCE MAGICK WORKSHOP  either scroll down or visit our website. www.betweentheworldspodcast.com/shopQuestions to ask yourself if you're worried you're failing:by whose standards am I failing?who benefits from my believing myself a failure?who benefits if I love myself more in all my failure? Truly, like which groups of people or beings benefit from your resistance to imposed notions of success?how can you throw your failure back in the face of the status quo, or whomever it is that says that you’re failing? Like truly, what would it look like to thumb your nose?ask yourself, how can I open up a dialogue here, instead of operating on a dominator model? References in this episode include:Saturnalia, University of Chicago. https://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/saturnalia.htmlThe Queer Art of Failure, a book by Jack Halberstam7 of Pentacles, a poem by Marge Piercy**********************************Learn More About Our  Guest Flora Pacha (formerly known as La Loba Loca)Our guest this week is queer artist, herbalist, and plant lover Flora Pacha, previously known as La Loba Loca, host of the WildWeeds Podcast, teacher of feminist brujeria workshops, keeper of pigs, and tender of lands. Visit their website: https://lalobaloca.bigcartel.com/Follow them on Instagram: @flora.pachaListen to their podcast: Wild Weeds PodcastJoin their Patreon: Flora Pacha*******************************CURRENT WORKSHOPS  - ACE OF PENTACLES: ABUNDANCE MAGICKAbundance is already present, but remembering that can be a challenge in a culture that’s modeled on scarcity.

Many tarotologists say the 6 of Pentacles is one of the most complicated cards in the Minor Arcana. It's a card about exchange, giving and receiving, but as we know all too well, that shizz can bring up a lot for people! In this episode we talk about knowing your value (and how if you're over giving, you probably don't); guilt and being of service; leaky boundaries, how to set clearer ones and defend them; gift societies; obligation; Marcel Mauss; myths and fairytales; how the moon is not a vending machine (hey, hey CA Conrad); what the Cameron Crowe film Say Anything tells us about tarot; how to find TRUE abundance and what to do with it once you've got it... all with our illustrious guest, Liz Worth!A bit more about our guest...

Circe is the first witch mentioned in the literature of the classical world. Daughter of the Sun, and the ocean nymph Perse, Circe is the Lady of the Beasts, wielder of wands, knower of plants, both poisonous and medicinal, and is queer AF.  She's a goddess of secrets and necromancy (she can communicate with the dead). Her familiar is the hawk, so if you see one, recognize that Circe might be present. In this episode we discuss the beautiful demi-goddess Circe in all her glory with one of her priests, Nick Dickinson. He tells us how to invoke her, and why Circe is a goddess all witches need to know. He also shares his methods for lifting the evil eye, and breaking curses from his family lineage of Greek Folk Magic. Do you know how the evil eye gets transmitted? You might have done it yourself by accident. Find out what it is and how to lift it by tuning in!We are absolutely in love with Circe, her wisdom, her wileyness, her complexity, her mastery. We seriously could have talked with Nick for YEARS! We're so excited to share this episode with you, dear listeners. You're going to love it! A bit more about our guest... Nick Dickinson is Headmistress of Circe Academy through The Cauldron Black in Salem MA, and a professional witch and witchcraft educator with over 35 years of experience working with clients and students in both public and private settings. Ordained and initiated in a variety of tantric yoga traditions (Mahayana Buddhism), and a teacher of yoga teachers and psychics, his classes and workshops are influenced by the intersection of classical yoga theory and modern witchcraft practice. Operating through a multidimensional animist lens with a focus on Greek folklore, Nick’s content welcomes all traditions at all levels and can be approached in a purely secular way.  NOTE: Don't forget to pre-order the new Taschen book, Witchcraft......we mention in the episode edited by Pam Grossman and Jess Hundley. A spellbinding journey through the global history of witchcraft, the third volume in The Library of Esoterica follows this magickal tradition from its ancient roots to its modern incarnations. Through more than 400 artworks, and revelatory essays and interviews with modern practitioners.

This episode is sponsored by a new film created for the Tarot reading community from The Theatre Company in Portland, Oregon. Claire Willett's The Broken Heart Spread is a deep dive into the world of modern tarot card reading. Over the course of a single day, we meet seven women at seven different personal thresholds, all looking to the wisdom of the tarot for guidance in matters of the heart. The tarot cards open doors for each of the women - and Delphine herself - to write the next chapter of their own story. The Broken Heart Spread is currently streaming through August 22nd on Stellar. Catch the film on your own time through Video on Demand, tickets start at just $20 and can be found at thetheatreco.org. We hope you enjoy this movie normalizing the magic of witches!**********************************Speaking on the truth of suffering and fear, Zora Neale Hurston said that, only "half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.” The Five of Pentacles is not a comfortable card. It speaks of pain and privation, the moments that bring us to our knees. But, as Amanda and her guest Dr. Thea Wirsching discuss in this episode, those moments are also invitations from the real and often blood thirsty gods to wrestle with the angels of our history.5s are ruled by the hierophant. The priest, the Pope, the card in the major arcana that connects us with our spiritual traditions; in some decks it is called, "Ancestor." The 5 of Pentacles demands our humility. It is an invitation to love life in it all its blizzards and madness and freezing winds. We discuss the Little Match Girl; the 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism; African American literature of the 19th century; The Wedding Crashers; how religion can offer salvation... and be a bunch of bullshit;  Mercury in Taurus; and where to find refuge.Our guest is Thea Wirsching is an Evolutionary astrologer and has been practicing astrology for almost two decades.  Her counseling business, The Pluto Babe, helps guide her clients in the process of releasing shame. She received her PhD from UCLA, and her dissertation focused on the history and literature of American occultism.  Much of this original research appears in her forthcoming publication, The American Renaissance Tarot (2021).  As a Tarot reader, Thea emphasizes the healing power of narrative and the cards’ facility to write a new story.  References in this episode include:CLOTEL, by William Wells Brown, the first African-American novel (1853)Rachel Pollack, “78 Degrees of Wisdom.”Zora Neale Hurston, "Their Eyes Were Watching God."Chiron Armand.

The 4 of Pentacles is about creating stability, economic security, a healthy body, a cozy home, or anything else that nourishes and sustains us. But if security is something that MOST of us long to have, then why does the 4 of Pentacles seem like such a crabby card? When we pull the 4 of Pentacles, Tarot is coming to us like a close friend, putting their hands on our shoulders, looking us in the eye and quietly asking: "Is what you’re doing you right now really getting you what you want? Maybe, it's time to let go."In this episode we talk about the relationship between the 4 of Pentacles, the Emperor Card, and the Death Card; Moliere's play "The Miser"; Charles Eisenstein's "Sacred Economics"; FOMO; Snoop Dog; being in integrity; how to tell when you're operating out of fear; scarcity and abundance; trusting your own value; somatic practices to help you take the best step forward; and how to create true abundance.Our guest this episode is Liliana Perez, a psychic medium, intuitive channel, deck creator and working witch.

On today’s episode we’re talking with Tyson Yunkaporta, author of “Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World.” Tyson is a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne and is a member of the Apalech clan in Queensland, Australia. "Sand Talk" explains how the teachings of aboriginal culture can help us imagine a way to a sustainable future by emphasizing community and connection over individualism and fragmentation, and by cultivating respect for the land. In this episode, we talk about how even when Western cultures seek out indigenous knowledges, they lack a framework to be able to understand what they're being offered. Indigenous thinking, according to Tyson, is relational. It requires long term connection and commitment to the community and the land. It’s not just about using didgeridoos, or smudge sticks, (or wands and cauldrons as the case may be), it's about engaging with a larger matrix of connectivity that is the TRUE essence of indigenous thinking and way of life.. We're really excited to share this episode with you!

The 3 of Pentacles is an invitation and a reminder to create spaces that are a celebration of what you hold sacred in life and attending to the details of maintaining them. When the 3 of Pentacles comes up, we know that we are being directed to get quiet and recognize what is sacred TO US, in our own hearts, and then we are being called to build it in the world, which requires that we find collaborators. The 3 of Pentacles invites you to look for people who share the same values as you, who hold the same things as sacred, and to come together with them to build something beautiful. Join us today as we discuss how to build your own sacred space with our special guest, Maria Minnis! References in this episode include:Charlotte Northrop. “The Amazing Story of the Intersex Goddess Cybele and Her Gay Priests” https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/intersex-goddess-cybele-trans-priests/#gs.jucoVogWikipedia contributors, 'Temple of Cybele (Palatine)', Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, 20 February 2021, 02:42 UTC, Lorraine Hansberry, writer of "A Raisin in the Sun"."Wrecking Ball," written by Sacha Skarbeck, performed by Miley Cyrus."The Seedling" by Laurence Dunbar ********************************* CURRENT WORKSHOPS TEMPERANCE: Potions, Offerings, & Rituals of Transformation :  In this workshop you will learn to use ordinary substances to make big magic in your everyday life.

In this episode, Amanda breaks down the card and discusses the history of jugglers, shaman, and court jesters; the infinity symbol; Jupiter in Capricorn; how to make multi-tasking work for you (and if we're anti-capitalist should we even be doing that?)... and then breaks it all down with special guest, Sarah Potter, aka The Color Witch.

In this episode, Amanda tells the folktale of Tannhauser, a 13th century knight and writer of erotic poetry. (This episode is steamy!). Though the story takes place in Germany, it was a variation of a tale common throughout Europe over a thousand year period while European culture was transitioning from animist paganism to Christianity. It tells the story of a mortal man seduced by an otherworldly woman, such as a fairy queen or goddess, who lures him to her Underworld paradise. This story asks us: where does abundance actually come from? Does it come from the land, physical pleasure, healthy food, enjoying loved ones, and contributing to our community in some way? Or does abundance come from working hard, getting a well paying job, saving money, and playing by "the rules"? When Spirit presents us with its gifts, what should we do with them? How can we cherish the abundance available to us and help it grow? Tune in to find out!Please note that this is part 2 of our Ace of Pentacles episode, continuing from last week, but you can totally listen to it as a stand alone piece. Just note, it might be a little too sexy for sensitive listeners. ** TO ENTER OUR CONTEST TO WIN A FREE WORKSHOP OR 1/2 HOUR TAROT SESSION...**Simply go to Apple / iTunes Podcasts  , leave a sweet review of the show, screenshot it and then email it to us at betweentheworldspodcast@gmail.com.If you are not a subscriber to the BTW Weird Circle, you will be entered to win free participation in the upcoming Temperance Workshop, a $55 dollar value.If you ARE a Weird Circle Subscriber, you will be entered to win a free 1/2 hour tarot session with Amanda (a $100 value).If you've already written us a review, that's no problem, just screenshot your previous review (include an update if you want), and send it our way. Thank you so much for helping to support our podcast as we grow! References in this episode include:Graham Harvey, “Contemporary Paganism: Listening People, Speaking Earth”Heather Whipps, “The Profound History of Coins,” https://www.livescience.com/2058-profound-history-coins.html#:~:text=The%20world's%20first%20coins%20appeared,money%20had%20been%20around%20awhile.Tannhäuser in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannh%C3%A4userNorma Lorre Goodrich, “Medieval Myths.”D.L.
