BTW 31: On Swords and "Conflict is Not Abuse" with Guest Sarah Schulman

A sword is a weapon, and weapons are used in armed conflicts. So we wanted to bring Sarah Schulman, author of the book CONFLICT IS NOT ABUSE: OVERSTATING HARM, COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY AND THE DUTY OF REPAIR, on the show to discuss the nature of conflict and what we can do to resolve it. Turns out, Sarah has been practicing tarot for decades, and rather than seeing the Suit of Swords as being about conflict, she sees it as being about truth and realization. In this episode we have a lively discussion about how the suit of swords works; how people in positions of power (like some police officers and "President" Tr**p) like to see themselves as victims even when they're being abusive and why that is; and how the Suit of Swords calls us to take an honest look at ourselves and our communities. This is one of those episodes we SO WISH we could listen to with you in person, because it's challenging and invites a rigorous dialogue. Listen to it with your quarantine buddy and discuss. We're sure it will give you a lot to talk about. Let us know what you think!More on our guest: Sarah Schulman has written over 18 books, plays, and screenplays. She’s an lgbtqia+ activist, and AIDS historian. Has been awarded a Guggenheim, among many other awards, is the Co-Founder of MIX: NY LGBT Experimental Film and Video Festival, Co-Director of ACT UP Oral History Project, and the US Coodinator of the first LGBT Delegation to Palestine. Sarah Schulman is also on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace, and is  a fellow at the NY Institute for the Humanities at NYU. *********************************Find out more about our special guest, Sarah Schulman: writer, activist, and historian....  Visit her wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_SchulmanCheck out her book Conflict is Not AbuseOr her latest book Let the Record Show: A Political History of Act Up New YorkFollow her on Twitter feed: @SarahSchulman3*********************************AVAILABLE WORKSHOPS*Cutting the Cord with 2020 - a Banishing and Welcoming Ritual Workshop*In this workshop we’ll be processing through some of the teachings of 2020 so that we can use them to move forward in the new year.

BTW 30: 3 of Swords – The Dirt-Work of the Heart, with Jessica Dore

Everyone knows the 3 of Swords, because everyone has known heartbreak on some level, or will someday. When this card appears, so too does hurt. But the hurt points to something authentic and true within your nature that is not being treated with the care that it needs. The solution is tenderness. Our medicine is humility and gratitude. While we might resist the 3 of Swords, it’s actually a good thing, because its wisdom helps us become capable of true intimacy. We might not push people away, or project as much, now that our wounds are being made visible. The poison is also the medicine. As our guest Jessica Dore says in this episode, the 3 of Swords reveals "the dirt-work of the heart"... if we dig hard enough, we might just get a garden.Our guest today is Jessica Dore, who has a brilliant, soulful approach to the tarot, which she offers via her exceptionally popular Instagram and Twitter feeds. She’s a licensed social worker, who also worked in publishing for many years, and now she’s a full time tarot maven. She’s got a book on the tarot coming out next year through Viking, and we can’t wait for you to meet her and hear what she has to say about the 3 of Swords.*********************************Find out more about our special guest, Jessica Dore: writer, social worker, and tarot aficionado....  Visit her website: https://www.jessicadore.com/Check out her Instagram feed: @thejessicadoreOr her Twitter feed: @thejessicadore*********************************UPCOMING WORKSHOPS*Cutting the Cord with 2020 - a Banishing and Welcoming Ritual Workshop*In this workshop we’ll be processing through some of the teachings of 2020 so that we can use them to move forward in the new year.

BTW 29: 2 of Swords – Making Difficult Choices, with Chiron Armand

In the 2 of Swords, a woman has to make a big decision without having all the information she needs. She's paralyzed by the thought she might make the wrong choice, and so she waits. The wisdom of this card teaches us how to move forward even when we feel caught in indecision. We could be deciding where to live; whether to break up or hook up; which next project to begin; or where we should focus our energy. No matter what we're deciding about, this card has some potent medicine for us.Our special guest today is Chiron Armand, a shamanic practitioner with initiations in Haitian Vodou (Houngan Asogwe) and Brazilian Quimbanda (com licensa). He is a trained hoodoo root doctor in the Southern Conjure tradition and is the author of "Deliverance!: Hoodoo Spells of Uncrossing, Healing, and Protection and Clearing Spaces: Inspirational Techniques to Heal Your Home."

Join us for our season finale with superstar special guest, writer and activist adrienne maree brown! We talk about her favorite decks, the pleasures of tarot, the power of witchcraft, and the truth about the 10 of Wands.

In the Thoth deck, the 10 of Wands is known as "Oppression" but in this episode we spin that meaning on its head using the wisdom of Octavia Butler.

Pour water into bowl; add yeast and stir until dissolved. Add milk, butter, salt and sugar. Stir until well blended.Step 2. Sprinkle in 3 Cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until flour is evenly moistened. Add 4th cup of flour and beat until dough is smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes--rest when you get tired). Mix in 5th cup flour to make a stiff dough.Step 3. Measure 6th cup of flour; sprinkle about half of it on board. Turn dough out onto heavily floured area of board. Keep a light coating of flour on dough as you begin to knead.Step 4. Fold dough toward you with your fingers; push away with the heel of your hand. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat folding-pushing motion, adding flour to board as you knead. Kneading is finished when dough is nonsticky, smooth and satiny.Step 5. Put dough in greased bowl; turn over to grease top. Cover bow with clear plastic wrap or damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (80 degrees) until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours). Test by inserting two fingers into dough--if indentations remain, dough is ready to shape.Step 6. After dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles, then turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Knead dough briefly and shape into smooth oval.Step 7. Divide dough in half by grasping dough in center and squeezing.Step 8. Roll out each half into a rectangle about 6 by 16 inches. Mix together cinnamon and sugar for swirl. Sprinkle half of mixture evenly over each rectangle. Beginning with the narrow side, roll each half tightly into a loaf. Seal ends and seam by pinching with your fingersStep 9. Let rise, covered, on greased cookie sheet for half an hour. Cut one half into half again and, of the two quarters, cut one into six pieces for legs, arms and ears of the goddess / teddy bear / patriarch. Cut a small piece off of the large (undivided half) and use for  boobs / snout / penis. That is, the large half is the body, the quarter is the head, the six pieces are shaped to form arms and legs and the small piece is for the   boobs / snout / penis. Pinch pieces together, cover, and let rise another 15 to 20 minutes. Place raisins or walnuts for eyes or pierce the patriarch with cloves.Step 10. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until loaves are nicely browned and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and turn loaves onto racks to cool.**********************************To find out more about the host, Amanda Yates Garcia...... sign up for Amanda's newsletter, CLICK HERE.... order Amanda's book, "Initiated: Memoir of a Witch" CLICK HERE....

BTW 23: 8 of Wands – Focusing Your Attention with T. Susan Chang

The 8 of Wands appears when it is necessary to focus our attention and act fast. The time for waiting is over. We receive an important message and we need to act on it. Join us this episode when we talk with Harvard educated T. Susan Chang, author of Tarot Correspondences, who literally knows everything there is to know about the tarot. We talk about this card's astrological correspondence: the upbeat Mercury in Sagittarius (expansion of communication), but how that's not always a good thing (gossip, overexposure). We talk about ways to organize your tarot studies to get the most out of them, and simple ways to use this card to aid you in your travels.
