Episode 41: Six of Cups

Published: May 16, 2018, 10 p.m.

b"This week, we explore the 6 of Cups, a doubly solar card.\\xa0 As a Six it is associated with the sphere of the Sun, Tiphereth, and astrologically it corresponds to the Sun's rulership of Scorpio's middle decan.\\xa0 Here we find Pleasure in the heart of Death!\\xa0 This is a sacred sacrifice, where in the dying glow of yesterday the Sun bargains for tomorrow.\\xa0 The glint of light on water offers a promise of redemption, but also a guarantee of change. Here on the other side of time, the spirit is liberated.\\xa0 Our conversation ranges over the islands of the blessed, the concept of saudade, the solar twins, nostalgia and memories of childhood, serpents, scorpions, eagles, the nature of consciousness, the Ode to Joy, transformation (and how we love and hate to talk about it), Elysium, and waters both shallow and deep.\\xa0 To learn more about the suit of Cups, the world of Briah, the sacrificial gods of Tiphereth, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse.\\xa0You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more! at our RedBubble shop."
