Healer
Being able to call on her nurturing support is fundamental to your survival. She's always close by, but if you are unwell and continue to ignore her wise promptings, your pain will be exacerbated.
The Healer kneads your muscles. Her hands are soft and strong as she releases the dark cells of trauma long held within your body. She smells of lemongrass and tamarind, and you can feel the warmth of her breasts pressed gently against your back. She absorbs and absolves the burden of guilt and sadness that tortures you; your chest opens and you can breathe deeply. She asks you the questions you need to answer.
When you are exhausted from striving but continue to push yourself, she encourages you to put down your tools and rest. When you cannot sleep, she closes your eyes. And if you are prepared to listen, she will teach you how to let misfortune harmlessly pass by.
And when the time comes to let go of your life and step into the fire ring, she will take your hand and accompany you. Stepping through the ring of healing flame, she will enfold you in her arms to cauterize your wounds. Go to her; she will relieve you from your hurt.

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
*Episode cover art features Wayhome Tarot, Esmerlize Tarot, and Paulina Cassidy’s Phantasma Tarot

I Am The Moon
'I Am The Moon'... with Special Guest, Madeline Jazz Harvey
‘Prayer for Darkness’ by Deb Guerdat
Go in, go in my child. Away from your savage cities of fire and stone. Wrap the sacred darkness around you like blankets and rest, sleep. And before the new tendrils stretch inside the dark seed. And before the new hatchling stirs inside his dark shell. Look up, sweet child, look up. And see how brightly the stars shine above you in the black sky. The joy, the wonder, the music. And you will remember why you are here. And the beautiful place we’ve been given.
*Episode cover art features: Cosmic Tarot, Norbert Losche; Ravyness Drakon Tarot, Beth Seilonen; Tarot of the Witch’s Garden, Sasha Graham/ils. Natasa Ilincic.
