Full Moon Reflection: Braving the Torch of Our Rage

Slow Tarot invites us to root into a spread for the length of the moon's cycle. The cards for this cycle are Strength crossed by the Page of Wands, King of Cups, 3 of Cups Rx, the Tower, 5 of Wands. Recreate this spread while you listen, sit with it a spell. You can find all my contemplations about this spread, alongside invitations to go deeper, at highlowtarot.com/slow-tarotThe Scorpio full moon illuminated the role of rage in this spread, for me. A millennia of oppression of our mothers and daughters has brought us to this moment in time. Their rage lives deep inside of us, alongside the memory that societies weren't always hierarchical power structures. Our blood and bones remember how to live in partnership with each other and all of life. The Tower falls when we each find the courage to integrate this deep, ancestral rage. Emotional intelligence and self-compassion (King of Cups) helps to shed the false selves conditioned by the patriarchy. This conditioning has shaped us through generations, and it’s time to burn it all away.In this reading I reference The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler and the Emerald Podcast by Josh Schrei. The music underlying these readings is created by Beth Bradfish, reading by Julie Kelton.
