Tarot at My Table and in Popular Culture

By Meg Elison | 20 hours ago

“As I dig deeper into cartomancy,” writes Meg Elison, “I remember all the times that the dread revelations of the cards have shown up in stories I’ve loved. Tarot is often misused, represented not only inaccurately, but incorrectly.”

Review: Divine Masculine Healing Oracle

Alan U. Dalul reviews Christabel Jessica and Cecilia G.F.’s oracle deck, which focuses on masculine divinities from a variety of mythologies and traditions.

The Witch’s Art(e)

“Art is not concerned with being right so much as it is with being true,” writes Storm Faerywolf. “When we approach magic as art, we accept that subjectivity is not a flaw to be corrected, but an inherent quality to be cultivated and grown.”

After “Nordic Pagan” Remarks, Memo Suggests New Scrutiny of Religious Grooming Exemptions in U.S. Military

A now verified Pentagon memorandum circulating online suggests new scrutiny of religious grooming exemptions for service members, raising concerns among Pagan and Heathen practitioners and echoing tensions following earlier controversial “Nordic Pagan” remarks by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in 2025.

Editorials and Analysis

  • Editorial: Trans rights are human rights — and religious liberty is on the line
    By Manny Moreno

    As trans Americans face escalating legal restrictions, religious liberty is being invoked not as protection for minorities but as justification for exclusion. For Pagan traditions that affirm gender diversity, the implications are profound.

  • Editorial: Pagan Is Not a Synonym for Barbarism
    By Manny Moreno

    "When contemporary commentators describe authoritarian politics as 'pagan,'" writes Manny Moreno, "they risk reinforcing an exclusionary narrative: that Christianity civilized power, while paganism represented brute force. That binary not only oversimplifies history; it marginalizes living religious minorities."

Pagan Living

  • Review: The Torah in the Tarot
    By Manny Moreno

    Manny Moreno reviews Stav Appel's boxed set from Ayin Press, which includes the Jean Noblet Tarot de Marseille alongside a startling argument that the Marseille Tarot tradition reflects Jewish symbolism transmitted during a time of antisemitic persecution.

  • One Magical Movement: A Poet’s Occult Journey with David Bowie
    By Lauren Parker

    In 2020, Lauren Parker was driving through the desert listening to David Bowie's 1976 album "Station to Station," starring one of Bowie's most haunting characters, the Thin White Duke. "I didn’t even know if I liked the album," she writes. "I just couldn’t shake it."

Pagan Perspectives

  • Hestia in Kansas
    By Luke Babb

    "I have never kidded myself about Kansas," writes Luke Babb. "There are parts of it I love, sure, in the way any kid loves the home where they grew up. But I was not yet out of high school before I knew that I was never going to come back."

  • Opinion: Necromancy for Me, Not for Thee: AI, Catholic Anxiety, and the Pagan Scapegoat
    By Guest Contributor

    As warnings about AI “necromancy” circulate in Catholic discourse, Pagans once again appear as the unspoken cautionary tale. But the real ethical concern may not be communicating with the dead, but consent, authority, and imitation.

Ancient Cultures

  • A New Mystery Emerges from Ancient Norway: A Viking Woman Buried with Shells and Wings
    By Manny Moreno

    A Viking woman’s grave in Trøndelag has stunned archaeologists: scallop shells laid over her mouth and bird-wing bones nearby reveal a burial practice unknown in pre-Christian Norway, raising new questions about ritual, belief, and symbolism.

  • “We are children of the Sun”: new exhibit honors Mexica Coyolxāuhqui stone
    By Manny Moreno

    A new exhibit in Mexico City honors the discovery of the stunning Coyolxāuhqui Stone, which tells the myth of the Mexica goddess of the moon.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Robin Wood Tarot, by Robin Wood, published by Llewellyn Publications.

Card: Ten (10) of Cups

This week may offer some welcome respite from the stress and woes of the past few weeks. Sharing a bit of joy, peace, and love within familial bonds and groups is likely to figure prominently. Even in situations that have been contentious—especially those involving family—the potential exists for harmony, though it may only be temporary. There is also likely to be a tad more abundance, as well as opportunities for accessing those components involved in achieving a healthy level of contentment.

Conversely, disappointment and sadness are particularly when the expectations of the actions and behavior of others are set too high. Realistic expectations are one way to avoid this. Feeling disrespected, ignored, or taken advantage of could lead to self-isolation and amplify those feelings. Dissatisfaction within relationships has the probability of creating an insurmountable gulf of disharmony if common ground cannot be found with new terms negotiated.
