Friends, we have arrived at our destination. After completing the planetary, numeric, zodiacal, and elemental series, Mel and Susie decided to record one final episode to mark the conclusion of the Fortune's Wheelhouse podcast: we decided to give the gift of divination to each other, reading about what turned out to be similar concerns for each of us. Fortune's Wheelhouse will remain available on all podcast streaming services, for anyone to refer to whenever they like. Our books and decks will still be out there. You’ll still be able to find Mel at tabulamundi.com and me at tsusanchang.com.  You’ll still be able to buy Fortune’s Wheelhouse merchandise at our RedBubble store, which is at www.redbubble.com/people/wheelhouse93/shop. And everyone is still free to join the Fortune's Wheelhouse Academy group on Facebook. Thanks to all of you, for being our heroes of the astral world. By going on this journey through esoteric tarot with us, sharing it with others, and incorporating it into your own praxis, you complete the circuit of knowledge that Fortune’s Wheelhouse represents.  As above, so below.  As within, so without.

We then move on to the Page or Princess of Wands:  Make way for the Rose of the Palace of Fire!  the princess disguised as a humble page.  Is she the beginning or the culmination of the suit?  Is she sleeping in potential or established in might?  She is the "throne of the Ace," the lowest in the highest, Kether in Malkuth.  Here we find her Highness (or her Lowness) on fire, in the heart of Leo the lion as the sun rounds its northernmost position relative to the equator. We discuss her relationship to death and rebirth and her altar to the rite of spring, the geomantic figure Cauda Draconis, I Ching hexagram 27 (Yí, "Nourishing"), to salamanders, roses, and the ferocious tiger of the spatial quadrant of Asia Pacific.   She is a force of nature who is not to be denied!

Episode 02 - The High Priestess / The Priestess

This week we confront the 5 of Swords, the Lord of Defeat - an uncomfortable place at best and a dangerous no man's land at worst.  Here Venus rules over the first decan of Aquarius, but the combined peaceful natures of that planet and that sign are no match for the harsh power of a 5.  The truce of the 4 of Swords has fallen; winners gloat and losers suffer. In our conversation we discuss the contrast of Venus' warm close opulence with the remote stylings of Aquarius, and the ways in which motion comes to the aid of matter and breaks up stasis. We consider the fall of Rome and Epicene cults, mutilated heads, the goddess , piracy, slaves of giants, swastikas and  Germany, risks undertaken, ways navigated and found, the averse pentagram, respect for authority, and the tragic failure of good intentions.

Episode 22: The Ace of Wands

Lord of Swiftness, Lord of Speed, the 8 of Wands comes rushing in!  Fast as the flight of the arrow, fleeting as the rainbow, it is here and gone.  First decan of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius, it is ruled by Mercury, the speediest of planets.  It is associated with the Magus/Magician and Temperance/Art, and there we detect the presence of that other messenger, the rainbow goddess Iris.  Mercury, it can be said, also rules all eights, making the 8 of Wands doubly mercurial.  The messenger is on the move: catch him - or her -  if you can! Here we speak of journeys outer and inner, new endeavors and bright ideas, knowledge gods, the widsom of the crossroads, the eightfold model of consciousness and the transmission of Will.

Episode 29: Eight of Wands

This week, as one must do eventually, we visit the Lord of Sorrow in his rainy palace.  The 3 of Swords is a card few rejoice to see, and yet in its depths lie jewels worth mining despite their cost. Here Saturn rules over the middle decan of Libra, in the sign if not the degree of its exaltation.  As he grinds the harvest of late September, the burden of his inevitability sits heavy on our hearts.  Even as we seek Justice in our lives, we carry the weight of the World. Here we discuss contracts and chains, heartbreaks and rejections; Saturn's power to crystallize, bind, and teach.  We visit the Queen of Swords, Binah in Yetzirah, the Dark Mother and the Bright Mother, the seven sorrows of Mary, and the womb of Chaos.  We consider the python and the Pythia, the enlightenment of the Buddha, the cracked heart jar, and the many purposes of rain. To learn more about the suit of Swords, the world of Yetzirah, the mother gods of Binah, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse. You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more! at our RedBubble shop.

Episode 52: Three of Swords

Welcome to the courts! the most complex, enigmatic, and at times maddening cards in tarot.  But here at Fortune's Wheelhouse we love the court cards in all their hard-to-grasp humanity, and we hope our discussion will help you in your own quest to come to terms with them.  In this episode we discuss the esoteric structure of the court card system and its relationship to the face cards of the familiar poker deck. We talk about the ever-so-unfortunate divergence in nomenclature between RWS courts and Thoth courts, and about all the fourfold systems represented in the courts. For the King of Wands (RWS) or Knight of Wands (Thoth) we come within scorching distance of the fiery part of fire! We consider his relationship to the 7 of Cups and the 8 and 9 of Wands, as well as to the majors Death and Temperance/Art.  We talk of thunder and lightning, Hercules and Caesar, the mysteries of salamanders and black stallions and how His Speedy Swiftness makes us "Click to Buy"! To learn more about the suit of Wands, the world of Atziluth, the fiery powers of Thoth Knights/Rider Waite Smith Kings, the sephira Chokmah, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse. You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more! at our RedBubble shop.

Episode 32: King or Knight of Wands / Overview of the Courts

Sniff, sniff. Can you smell it?  I swear there's a whiff of brimstone in the air.  Feared, reviled, revered by some, he goes by many names.  The Devil is associated with the letter Ayin (meaning "eye") and Uriel, the "sharpest-sighted spirit in all of Heaven."    In this episode we turn our own sharp gaze on Old Nick, from curly horn to cloven hoof.  We interrogate his gifts of knowledge and mirth and his connection to the goat of Capricorn.  We examine the 2, 3, and 4 of Disks and how Change, Work, and Power might fall in his diabolical dominion. To learn more about the Devil, the sign of Capricorn, the Hebrew letter Ayin, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse.  You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more at our RedBubble shop.

Episode 15 - The Devil

Mystic, empath, archetypal anima - the Queen of Cups is veiled in feminine mystique.  Most sensitive of queens, she is associated with the watery part of water.  The Moon governs her tides, so while she is by nature nurturing and compassionate, storms can rack her moods as well.  In her watery domain are the last decan of Gemini and the first two decans of Cancer - love among the ruins.  In this episode we discuss sacrificial maidens, prophetesses, and femmes fatales - Circe, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Polyxena, Delilah, Princess Diana, and the Lady of the Lake.  The myth of Judith and Holofernes introduces a frisson of danger and betrayal; the Queen of Hearts shouts "Off with their heads!"  We consider blonde bombshells, Lilith and the astral realms, portals and magic mirrors, the world of dreams, the geomantic figures Populus and Via, waning and waxing moon, the mercurial ability to communicate and the lunar quality of  reflectio, the Beehive Cluster, the khephra beetle's journey through night, Castor and Pollux, Polyxena, the ibis of divination, the  heron of foreknowledge, the stork of motherhood, hexagram 58 (Duì or joy), desire and memory, purity and patience.

Episode 47: Queen of Cups

Abandon success all ye who enter here!  It is the 8 of Cups, the becalmed and benighted Lord of Indolence. Lead-footed Saturn governs the first decan of Pisces; dark clouds and eclipses rule the sky.  Emotional baggage burdens the intellect, and in this dark night of the soul a journey towards redemption begins. Yet although Crowley called this card 'the apex of unpleasantness,' it also sponsors acts of power and empowerment.  Here those who have reached their limits find the wherewithal to walk away into the unknown.  The labyrinth of the imagination is a realm of questions, not answers - but how can we ever learn or grow without embracing uncertainty? In this episode we will encounter the deadly sea, the collective unconscious, the lighthouse in an angry sea.  We wander the garden of Kundry, hearing out the tale of the ancient mariner and, at last, running aground on the shores of sleep.
