Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

124. Weekly Medicine: Six of Pentacles and Five of Swords

We made it through the intense energy of the Full Moon in Scorpio this past week, illuminating so much that was previously unseen to our eyes. Now, we are being invited to rebalance and nurture ourselves from the inside out with Six of Pentacles and Five of Swords.
Where and how do you connect to the root of your being? How do you refill your cup when it runs low? What stories does the brain tell you about your unworthiness to receive? Our invitation this week will be to gently clear things off our plate that we are no longer meant to hold (or that never belonged to us in the first place), bravely inviting in more of the assistance and accessible support we desire.

123. The Myth of Not Enoughness with Seven of Swords

All Sevens in the Tarot represent a call to engage with inner work that often feels like it needs to be resolved externally, with an external action. With Seven of Swords, we are called to explore the ways in which we get caught up in the myths of not enoughness that our brain presents to us: the fear that we are not okay, that there's something wrong with us, or that at our core, we are fundamentally not good enough.
How do we respond to these invitations? Do we typically attempt to mitigate or resolve the discomfort of those feelings through some kind of distraction, or external response? Or are we willing to courageously tend to the deep internal wounds that lay underneath those thoughts? Are we willing to come back home to ourselves, lay a hand on our heart, and just be with ourselves when things feel tender, or uncomfortable?
In today's episode of the podcast, we will explore Seven of Swords as a huge and beautiful ally for these kinds of experiences, and concrete ways to begin to work with the energy of this card, and with ourselves, in these moments.
C/W: The content in this episode contains references to extinction, environmental degradation, religious structures, loss, death, illness, trauma, systemic marginalization.

122. Weekly Medicine: The Moon and King of Pentacles

The upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio is on the horizon, and we are being invited, once more, into the void of The Moon card, supported by King of Pentacles.
What are we being asked to harvest and review at this time? What parts of us are ready to die away and be transformed anew? What parts of us are longing to be scooped up, reclaimed, witnessed and acknowledged? How can we consider this work sacred and vital, not just for ourselves, but to the work we are being asked to do in the world?

121. MONTHLY MEDICINE: May is Choice

Welcome to a new month, Wild Souls! We cross the threshold into the month of May on the Bealtaine/Samhuinn portal, a time where we are invited to sense the intersections of birth and death.
We are working with the theme of choice this month. How do we engage with this the energy of choice in a time when so many of us feel so powerless, so totally devoid of choice? By coming home to ourselves — by choosing ourselves, no matter what. By coming home to what resides within ourselves, giving it our attention and acknowledgment, even in the midst of challenging situations.
What and where are we birthing? What are we growing, nourishing, giving our time, attention and energy to? How are we moving through a death process? Are we giving space for our grief, our anger, our bewilderment in the midst of that process, and more importantly, can we choose to be in both at the same time, honoring both/and, instead of either/or?
C/W: The content in this episode contains references to trauma, white supremacy/privilege, climate change, extinction, and environmental degradation, cultural appropriation, addiction, body dysmorphia/gender dysphoria, birth, death, loss and grief.

120. Weekly Medicine: Eight of Cups and Three of Wands

This is a powerful week, one that will present us with a lot of opportunities for shedding, release, and regeneration on big, personal levels. As we prepare to transition into the month of May, passing through the portal of Beltane/Samhain, what are we ready to let go of? What have we outgrown? What has served us, and now no longer does?
Eight of Cups invites us to walk away from what no longer serves for the hope of something better — for the hope of something that feels a little freer, and a little more spacious. Three of Wands is supporting this process by encouraging us to rest in the “both/and” of that particular situation. What is it like to no longer be able to lean on an old process, habit, or pattern, and not have a new, established one to take its place yet?
CW: Grief, capitalistic structures, pain, trauma

119. Radical Receiving with The Empress

The Empress is a profoundly radical, expansive, beautiful energy, one that invites us into realms far beyond its traditional paradigms. This is a card that calls us to reconnect to receiving as our birthright, to explore the wounds we have around receptivity, pleasure, sensuality, and bring some love to those tender spots.
In today’s episode, we speak about what The Empress is (and is not), how we can open to it’s profound invitation and medicine, where and how we can bring a sense of deep tending to our wounds around receiving, and how we can open to deep Empress nourishment from within ourselves.
CWs: The content in this episode contains references to birth, pregnancy, trauma, inherited generational patterns, relationship to body, trauma related to industrialized standards of beauty, and capitalistic structures

118. Weekly Medicine: Five of Pentacles and Two of Swords

Welcome to Taurus season, loves! How do we show up for ourselves in tough moments? How do we make space for the contractions and heartaches that come up in our lives? Do we feel that we are enough?
We are being invited to ask those questions this week in our Weekly Medicine minisode, working through Five of Pentacles and Two of Swords. Five of Pentacles asks us to bow to the pain that is here, the wounding that is already present, but perhaps left unacknowledged. Two of Swords is showing up as the support system to this process, helping us to come back home to ourselves, even when it feels challenging to do so.
