The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/category/living/page/2)
Almost immediately the charges of “Oathbreaker” began to surface, for I had dared to speak out against a beloved elder. Now I was fair game for attack, verbally and magically. This was the beginning of what would later morph into targeted harassment. In the midst of this, my husband mentioned the situation to a mundane co-worker who replied, “Dude, you’re in a cult!”
The magic that I do has the same grit-teeth determination as any other chore. I need to wash the dishes. I need to take out the trash. I need to light a candle and tell Hermes that I am afraid. I need to tell the Puck I love him. But the baby is coming in a month and a half.
What surprises me is that I have this many decks. Somehow tarot has still worked its way into the fabric of my Witchcraft, and I can’t deny how much value these decks have brought to my magickal life – whether as tools, as sources of inspiration, or as objects I have infused with sentimental power.
The Hanged Man tarot card encourages observation and taking the role of non-action. We surrender our need to do something in favor of waiting to see what happens. We look at the world from a non-traditional stance: hanging upside down, which clears our vision and allows us to find a solution from the forest that surrounds us rather than the trees that are too numerous to count.
Though beer has become a purely recreational drink over the last century and a half, as changes in food production, water management, and attitudes towards alcohol have phased it out of daily life, for many of our ancestors it was essential – as sacred as fire, bread, and the other building blocks of civilised life.
