The Hierophant & the 5’s: Where Spirit Enters Flesh

The Fives aren’t everyone’s favorite cards in tarot—but they are at The Word Witch! The Fives are full of challenge, conflict, and contraction, but they are also where we meet our biggest opportunity to learn, grow, and spiritually evolve. This episode, we explore the Hierophant, Temperance, and the Minor Fives, and Claire shares why they chose to name their in-progress tarot deck Fifth Spirit Tarot. (Hint: it’s because of the Fives!)   Tarot Cards in this episode: the Hierophant, Temperance, 5 of Wands, 5 of Swords, 5 of Cups, 5 of Pentacles.   Check out the Fifth Spirit Tarot deck at www.fifthspirittarot.com   The Word Witch is a podcast about tarot, astrology, magic, and belief made especially for queer folx and others making magick from the margins.
