Y'all want the real shit, but can't handle that somebody else's spiritual catharsis is going to sound like ranting nonsense if it's not meant for you.

I'm going to put a jar of plain ol' blue marbles out to charge under this blue moon so I can use them in opportunity related spells later, or just to carry one in my pocket when I need it.

Outlive the motherfucker. That's what you're going to do. Survive and thrive out of sheer spite if necessary. Live for the day that nature takes it's course and you wake up in a world that no longer has them in it.

Apply where applicable. Repeat as necessary.

The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

Just shittin' in the wind with this one, but with the first five numbered cards of the major arcana, I think I see them as follows:

The Magician: magical authority

The High Priestess: spiritual authority

The Empress: domestic or familial authority

The Emperor: political or professional authority

The Hierophant: religious authority

[stagkingswife]

For discussion’s sake and because I think the waters are muddy for a lot of people on this: What do you think is the distinction between the realms of the High Priestess and the Hierophant? What counts as spiritual and what counts as religious?

[echosblanketfort]

my break down of this is, spiritual is more free flowing and felt and religious is more structured with rules. The difference between the experience of eating a delicious cake vs knowing how to bake a cake I suppose?

that's just first thoughts but I want to think more

[teawitch]

High priestess- the hidden, the mysterious, the inner, the occult

Hierophant- the structure, the rules, the enforced, the public and of course the church
