The Sown Podcast

I am weary. I am weary of being weary. I am weary of the blood. I am weary of the rain. I am weary of when the rain falls it harkens to my blood- the blood in me that’s made of the water that someone cried centuries ago for the same men. The same powers. / The same people being recycled. Old. Boring. Dead ideas being born in new bodies that only value what they can take. I am weary. I am weary…I am weary of crying myself to sleep because I don’t know what I can do to help. I am tired of being poor. Poor in resources. Poor in reach. Poor in volume and small in scope. I am weary of those loud and wealthy WASTING their reach. Their scope. Their voice. I love being a woman and yet I feel this body carries a tiredness that is older than the water I am crying. I am running out of words. I am running out of air. I think the only thing that makes sense anymore is that I know I am not the only one wearing the weary road as we dream into the future. Being hopeful- it feels like- is a revolution- and I am weary of having to defend my hope. Get full access to Sown. at seedlingspiritual.substack.com/subscribe

The day you plant the seed is not the day you reap the harvest, bbs. This episode dives into the mythology of our Card of the Year; Number 5, The Hierophant. There are times for plowing and times for growth, all work has a season, and this episode is part ode to the work, and part eulogy for the people we were before the baton was passed to us this year. Referencing greeks, myths, and of course a little nostalgia, I hope this episode brings you back to the earth in all the best ways. References in this episode; Joseph Campbell, 'We Stand on the Shoulders of Giants.'If you would like to find out more about Nicole, book a reading, or generally nose into Embodied Tarot, you can join us online at seedlingspiritual.com or on Instagram @seedlingspiritual.

Dr. Frantonia has a phrase about sitting at the feet of wisdom. I cannot think of anyone I would want to humble myself to more than the infinite mother, the High Priestess. This episode is a deep dive into what it means to sit with your own wisdom, silently and a little bit scared, and how important it is to silence the ego and learn to listen.

How the mighty have fallen. This week's episode dives into the Tower as a clearing and an invitation for demolition and change. Although difficult and unavoidably staring us in the face with our accountability and past, this card, and this time, is a necessary mirror to where we have cracks in our foundations and how we can learn to rebuild from a place of light and hope.If you would like to find out more about Nicole, book a reading, or generally nose into Embodied Tarot, you can join us online at seedlingspiritual.com or on Instagram @seedlingspiritual.
