Episode 61: Innate North

http://patreon.com/deansagemediaIn this episode the hosts kick things off by pulling a card centered on seeing our knowledge and ideas as valuable gifts to share. This sparks a deep conversation about overcoming the inner critic, finding the courage to speak your truth, and understanding when to use a filter versus when to be bold. During this segment, the hosts mention how the "lovers" card from the tarot inspired the "dreamers" card in their own deck as well as characters in an upcoming book.As the reading progresses, the hosts discuss the importance of moving ideas out of the mind and manifesting them into the physical world. They pull the "two of seeds," which is directly connected to "the two of pentacles in the tarot," representing material value and the conscious choice of balancing our physical efforts. This transitions into a dialogue on the concept of "potlucking your gratitude," fueled by fire and solar plexus energy. The hosts emphasize freely giving from a place of joy and abundance rather than expecting a return, contrasting this with toxic forms of giving disguised as sacrifice. This shared community abundance is related back to the tarot by likening the food brought to a potluck to "seeds as coins" and physical wealth.The episode builds toward taking collective action, highlighted by drawing major arcana number seven, which the hosts identify as "the chariot in the tarot" and call "the director". This card serves as a reminder to harness your will to guide others, even if you are simply finding the best vessel or medium to share a difficult truth. Finally, the reading concludes with a haiku about sensing your "innate north," urging listeners to trust their gut to navigate complex dilemmas. By leaning into an internal, intuitive guide, the hosts assure us that even when the specific path forward is murky, we can always align our actions with an encompassing sense of universal good.
