Classics of Pagan Cinema: The Cauldron of Cerridwen and “The Sword in the Stone”

By Meg Elison | May 25, 2025

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Black Seed Tarot, by Theresa Hutch, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Seven (7) of Wands

This week is likely to involve opportunities for engaging in battles that may or may not be righteous at their core. Before picking up the staff or wand, consider whether this is a just cause and actually worth fighting for. It’s also worth considering whether conflict can be avoided. If engagement is not negotiable and required, refusal to use underhanded or dirty tactics is still taking the high road.

Conversely, now is unlikely to be the time to go second-guessing decisions already made. Tapping into one’s inner courage by continuing to fight for values held dear and believed in is key this week. Banishing doubt and pushing forward, no matter what the opposition might toss out there, is liable to be equally important.
