Episode 00 - The Fool

Published: June 12, 2017, 4 p.m.

b'Fortune\'s Wheelhouse is a podcast about esoterics and the tarot. \\xa0The show is hosted by Susie Chang and Mel Meleen. The first 22 episodes are devoted to the 22 Major Arcana of the Rider Waite Smith and Thoth tarot decks. \\xa0We look closely at the symbolism in each card and help you decode the meanings hidden\\xa0in its cryptic details. Our pilot\\xa0episode is dedicated to the Big Zero, the Original Air-head, the Fool himself, and we take a very very close look at His Feckless Majesty. \\xa0(In fact, Susie has yet to recover from her examination of the \'solar codpiece\'.) \\xa0We consider his mad divinity, his fecundity, his sacred purpose. Upon first listening to Fortune\'s Wheelhouse, you may find yourself exclaiming "What on earth are they nattering on about! \\xa0What is this Kether! \\xa0What is this\\xa0Atziluthic scale! \\xa0What have I gotten myself into!" \\xa0Nevertheless, persist! As the series continues, these terms will start to make more sense, and you may even find yourself flinging them about with occult abandon. \\xa0 Meanwhile,\\xa0we have lots of resources to help you navigate your way through the esoteric thickets: \\xa0to learn much, much more about the Fool, the Tree of Life, the Golden Dawn, the astrological terminology we use, the color schemes of the cards etc., be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse. \\xa0There you can explore lots of additional content and sign up for added features and shockingly good giveaways. \\xa0 And be sure to check out our Fortune\'s Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more at our RedBubble shop!'
