Episode 52: Three of Swords

Published: Aug. 1, 2018, 10 p.m.

b"This week, as one must do eventually, we visit the Lord of Sorrow in his rainy palace.\\xa0 The 3 of Swords is a card few rejoice to see, and yet in its depths lie jewels worth mining despite their cost. Here Saturn rules over the middle decan of Libra, in the sign if not the degree of its exaltation.\\xa0 As he grinds the harvest of late September, the burden of his inevitability sits heavy on our hearts. \\xa0Even as we seek Justice in our lives, we carry the weight of the World. Here we discuss contracts and chains, heartbreaks and rejections; Saturn's power to crystallize, bind, and teach.\\xa0 We visit the Queen of Swords, Binah in Yetzirah, the Dark Mother and the Bright Mother, the seven sorrows of Mary, and the womb of Chaos.\\xa0 We consider the python and the Pythia, the enlightenment of the Buddha, the cracked heart jar, and the many purposes of rain.
