“Difficult feelings require expression, not suppression. Keen your grief. Speak your rage. Forge your purpose. Pull the personal pain out of your soul for the fuel to make something tangible from it. Show the world what it is, and what it should be. Bring your regular practice to another level through the implementation of a grander vision and a deeper desire. Find inspiration in the elemental world. Observe the will and the dance of Fire. Sense the mystery and the wisdom of Water. Bring balance into your life. If you feel too withdrawn, add activity. Stretch your legs, your arms, your neck, your mind. If you feel too busy, add quietude. Turn off the music, the program, the monologue, the lights. Balance is not a static but a living process.It is a measured flow, a graceful dance performed every day.” -Ellen Lorenzi Prince, Dark Goddess Tarot

Previous Episode

I Am Death

We’re baack... all hail The Sunset. Season 4 begins with The End, ‘I Am Death’ as Sarah and Eliza join minds in contemplating The Great Mystery.

XIII - SANTA MUERTE

“A profound transformation, a renewal, a true and proper revolution. If it is life that generates death, than death generates life. We are connected to all that surrounds us, to the people who have come before us and to those who will come from the cradle to the tomb, from the coffin to the womb, in a continual exchange and a continual regeneration not of opposites but of complementary elements. Santa Muerte brings with it new projects, changes, cuts and the necessary abandonment of what we keep stationary and entangled, like the past or suffocating ties. These changes however are not always pain-free but can bring with them trauma, anger, violence and loss including an immobility when we refuse to take on these transmutations.

The advice of the dead: Accept the changes that are offered in front of you, without fear of cutting ties and cutting yourself off from your old positions, old ideas or preconceptions. A mutation is imposing itself.” - Santa Muerte Tarot, Fabio Listrani

I Am The Devil

"WHERE TEMPERANCE EXUDES EFFORTLESS CONTROL, THE DEVIL DEMANDS MASTERY, AND EVIDENCE OF SPIRITUAL METAMORPHOSIS. UNTRANSFORMED, THE BONDAGE AND OBSESSION OF THIS CARD WILL MUTATE INTO ADDICTION, ABUSE OF SUBSTANCE, AND TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS. THOUGH DARK, CREATIVE INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGY, POWERFUL ART, AND ALL EVIDENCE OF GENIUS HAVE ENTERED THE DEVIL'S CAGE. THE HOPE IS: MAKE SOMETHING OF THE DEVIL, AND PERHAPS IT WON'T MAKE SOMETHING OF YOU." -Linda Benjamin, Interim Tarot
