A podcast with Dean Sage and Jack Kirven where they explore the intersection of oracle decks and chakras, using their original decks to create new insights. Dean's deck is a modern translation of the Tarot that removes gender-norms to reveal the deeper, non-gendered meaning of the cards. Jack's four decks play with the traditional chakra system, examining the way they intersect, rather than using them in isolation. The show allows inspiration to arise from the intersection of all decks using both intuition and chance. Dean pulls his cards as the Tarot reader does, while Jack relies on dice to see which cards his decks will offer up. The result is a reading and a reminder that uses the language of chakras and the diversity of the Tarot.

1:44:33

http://patreon.com/deansagemedia The reading begins with Deck Number 3, "The Intersections," card number 30, representing Vishuda (throat chakra - I say) intersecting with the third eye (I see). This card prompts a reflection on how one's intellect influences communication, serving as a reminder that personal perception, while invaluable, is not the sole perspective. They recall an earlier reading featuring "the first sewing, the Ace of Seeds," emphasizing grounding. The discussion expands on the dangers of self-talk and "echo chambers" within oneself, where unhelpful messages can become noise and degrade clarity. This leads to an inward focus, encouraging listeners to examine their spiritual landscape and beliefs to ensure their expressions align with their true selves, performing a "reality check" on their internal and external reflections. The hosts delve deeper into the cyclical nature of beliefs, suggesting an opportunity to let go of old ideas that no longer serve one's growth, likening it to a "sundown" cycle. They connect this evolution of thought to scientific understandings, including quantum mechanics, the observer effect (illustrated humorously with a cat anecdote), and recent breakthroughs in creating matter from energy, underscoring how belief and action can physically shape the brain and reality. The conversation transitions to the second card, The Seeker of Seeds, which is the Page of Pentacles in the Tarot and represents the root chakra. This card symbolizes curiosity, wonder, and the preparation stage of planting, emphasizing patience and the understanding that initial sprouts are not the full plant; success or failure cannot be immediately judged. It also highlights the importance of recognizing and working within limitations, much like understanding soil composition for gardening, to foster boundless creativity within given boundaries. The final two cards expand on interpersonal and personal responsibility. Projections of Joy (Deck Number 1), card number 23, illustrates the Heart (I love) influenced by Air/Aqua (I say), with the message to "see both sides of the board, play yourself at chess, listen as much as you speak, let people disagree". This encourages honest self-assessment and empathy, contrasting with debate as "winning". The hosts discuss the importance of listening as much as speaking, even to oneself, to mature and understand reactions, citing cognitive behavioral therapy and systemic biases (like racism) as examples. They explore the concept of "tainted" perspectives, particularly from privileged viewpoints, and the necessity of owning one's fallibility and allowing for change and forgiveness rather than engaging in "performative purity tests". The discussion references Wicked as an example of sympathetic antagonists and the experience of being "othered". The final cards drawn are The Creator, a major archon in Dean's deck, equated to the Empress in Tarot, representing the third chakra's ability to shape what one imagines with responsibility and purpose. Alongside this, The Source of Waves, the Queen of Cups in Tarot, signifies being the authentic source of one's emotions, leading to freedom from guilt through acknowledgment and self-understanding. The episode concludes with a powerful message about shaping oneself and one's expression, owning one's context, and using one's creative "fire to light lights, not to burn forests".…

http://linktr.ee/ecstatickae http://pateron.com/deansagemedia Welcome to Show Me Your Deck, episode 46, titled "Go Stop Go: Finding peace in stillness and action," where hosts Dean Sage and Jack Kervin explore the intersections of oracles and chakras. This episode features special guest Kaelan Strouse, an influencer and author, who shares the journey behind his original oracle deck. Kaelan's deck, which became the topic of his third book, features 48 spiritual lessons he consistently revisits, evolving from an initial idea of deities to broader spiritual messages. His creative process was deeply personal, even unfolding while visiting his father during his last months, adding a card about reclaiming one's power, making it 48 cards from an initial 47. The episode delves into a powerful reading using a combination of the hosts' and guest's decks, beginning with Dean's "sassy deck" where a tetrahedron and 50-sided dice determine card pulls. The first card pulled is card 40, "Prioritize your polish," representing the intersection of the third eye (blue) and solar plexus (yellow) chakras, signifying a blend of insight and action – "I see with I do". This card emphasizes refining one's expertise, creating inviolable sessions, and eliminating distractions. Kaelan then pulls his card, "Enjoy simplicity," which beautifully contrasts, advocating for quiet, stillness, and removing clutter to allow answers to reveal themselves. The reading continues with Dean pulling the 10 of Seeds, explicitly noted as a Tarot reference, tied to the root chakra, symbolizing completeness, generational impact, and the idea that "Your seeds given to others will grow for generations". This prompts a discussion on karma and the lasting effects of actions. Kaelan's next card, "Let your body move you," highlights somatic wisdom and learning through both stillness and motion, celebrating the inherent intelligence of our physical forms. The final card pulled is Dean's "Step to it, honey. You thought enough now. Define the milestones. Start walking last Monday," a clear call to action after contemplation, with inverse colors (yellow on blue) of the first card. Throughout the discussion, a central theme emerges about the dynamic balance between stillness and action, emphasizing that both are crucial for effectiveness, not just productivity. The hosts and Kaelan challenge the societal pressures of constant busyness and the capitalist idea of "productivity," suggesting that true fulfillment comes from acting with peace and clarity rather than obligation. Kaelan particularly highlights his deck's universal approach to spirituality, deliberately avoiding terms tied to any single tradition to make spiritual truths accessible to everyone, emphasizing that wisdom can be accessed through personal experience without gatekeepers or appropriation. The episode concludes with the profound insight that wisdom and right action arise from integrating all aspects of oneself – mind, body, and spirit – in a beautiful, complex whole.

http://patreon.com/deansagemedia "Show Me Your Deck" episode 45, titled "True Pleasure: Speak your truth, free from guilt, grounded in you," opens with hosts Dean Sage and Jack Hervin exploring the intersections of oracles and chakras using their original decks. The first card pulled is from the "sassy deck" (Projections of Joy, Part 14), representing the Svadhisthana (orange metal) and Muladhara (red earth) chakras. This card presents the query: "an orgasm usually helps distinguish sin and pleasure define pleasures role evaluate shame's influence". The hosts discuss the double entendre of the word "deck" and how the card encourages visualizing pleasure and shame distinctly, especially when grounded enough through the root chakra to enjoy "orgasmically living," which can extend beyond sex to activities like food or art. They highlight how Western culture often makes pleasure a "naughty word," with shame applied not just to sex but also to food, sleep, or "unacceptable" forms of reading like manga versus "serious literature". The conversation then shifts to the "ecstatic state of creation," with Dean sharing a personal experience of staying in bed to let ideas percolate, challenging the societal pressure to be "productive" early in the day and the concept of "sloth" as a sin. This segues into the idea of internal vibrations and sympathetic resonance found in creativity. The second card drawn is from Jack's deck: "The six of storms," described as the six of swords in the tarot, symbolizing being "Swept away by the storm, you are washed free". This card is connected to the heart chakra and represents movement and liberation, suggesting that storms, while devastating, can clear away what is no longer needed, leading to freedom, even if accompanied by grief. The hosts discuss the importance of learning lessons from these "storms" and rebuilding differently, distinguishing between unpredictable events like tornadoes and predictable ones like floods where people rebuild in the same vulnerable spots. This idea ties back to the first card's theme of finding freedom and safety in enjoying oneself by letting go of guilt (bad action) and shame (being something wrong), which are often perpetuated by external forces, including religion. They caution that while seeking pleasure is vital, unhealthy pursuit can lead to addictions, and true happiness isn't constant bliss but rather peace, calm, and balance, or simply being content and realizing "you're exactly where you're supposed to be right now". An alternative card that almost emerged, "The source of flames" (the queen of wands in the tarot), reinforces the message that personal power and the ability to create are internal, akin to Dorothy's realization that "the magic lay within her the whole time". Dean and Jack then explore generational differences in learning, with Dean suggesting suffering can be a necessary part of the path, while Jack argues that wisdom can be shared to avoid pain, ultimately affirming that personal power is an internal resource that no one can steal. Finally, the third card, from the "Intersections" deck (The Bouquet of Flowers, No. 26), brings the reading to a close. It connects the Anahata (heart) and Muladhara (root) chakras, symbolized by "I love and I am". This card emphasizes how one's sense of identity, safety, and security profoundly affects their connections with others. The hosts conclude that when individuals embrace their instincts, act authentically, and speak their truth without shame, they naturally attract a community or network of people who resonate with their genuine self, making connections feel natural. Dean shares his experience of creating a small community around his writing and Dean Sage persona, noting how "speaking truth... brought me truthful people" despite some "inconvenient" truths and pushback. This overall reading is framed as an answer to shame and guilt, showing how "joy and empowerment can hold hands" to navigate life. The episode concludes by inviting listeners to explore their Patreon, YouTube channel, books, and decks for a deeper engagement with these concepts.…

http://patreon.com/deansagemedia Today's log line, "Play the rest: Be as you are, in silence, ready for action," sets the stage for a deeply introspective reading focused on self-awareness and authentic being. The reading begins with Deck 4's 49th card, "Ozone Thunder, Hush, Electric Tension, Listen, Cascading Rain, Learn," which highlights the importance of introspection, quieting oneself to sense transformative insights, and constantly learning about strengths and weaknesses, much like the onset of a summer shower. This emphasis on personal context and internal resonance prepares listeners to discover what is important for themselves. The reading continues with the Celestial card (number 0 in Dean's deck), which is identified as the Fool in the Tarot, representing a journey of being and becoming. This card underscores the idea that one is "new again, ready to be and to become," emphasizing that the celestial's journey through the chakras is deeply personalized and not tied to any single chakra. The conversation highlights that the Celestial's true purpose is to be, not to perform, drawing parallels between structured orchestral music and free-flowing jazz to illustrate the balance between prescription and improvisation in life. This theme is reinforced by Deck 4's first card, "Stars, dust, Salt, earth, clay. Me, life's face, birthing diamonds," a root chakra card reminding us that we are the "stuff of eternity" and must remain grounded in our physical being even while approaching the infinite. The Sage card (number 5), representing the throat chakra, reveals the powerful truth: "The hardest truth to admit is that you need help," emphasizing communal learning, the value of both harmony and dissonance, and the critical role of silence and internal reflection in the journey of self-discovery. The phrase "playing the rest" is used to describe the quiet, non-verbal moments of introspection crucial for true understanding. Finally, the Bouquet of Flowers card (Deck 3, number 40), representing the third eye influenced by fire, serves as a powerful call to action. After the deep introspection and self-awareness gained from the previous cards, listeners are encouraged to utilize their understanding and ignite their "fire into the world". This card emphasizes that insights and realizations, while valuable, are incomplete without subsequent choices and actions in the world. The hosts stress the importance of not just having deep thoughts or experiences, but of examining these truths within one's own context and seeking community feedback to avoid falling into unexamined traps or perpetuating narrow perspectives. Ultimately, the reading encourages small, consistent actions that contribute to positive change, aligning perfectly with the episode's log line: to embrace one's present, cultivate silence, and be ready to act on resonant truths.…

A familiar face, we are warned to be careful what we are imbibing and how that is effecting what we are putting out into the world. There is toxic material in our waters, and it is coming from every direction. We must be careful and vigilant about it. That starts with surrendering to stillness and silence. Waiting for when the time is right and accepting that active inaction is an acceptable place to be, despite so many calls to action surrounding us. We are not just standing, we are building. Like steam in an engine we bring things to boil and prepare them to give us energy to move, to reshape things. Water and fire mixing together to make productivity and difference. While we wait, we gather our community together and celebrate the things we have. Even though they may be small we are here to build together. Action will come, but now is the time to praise each other and raise each other up. Then like sand dunes, our whispers will begin to reshape the world around us. A million voices become a gale force wind that cannot be denied.…

What we say is effected by what we know, what we believe. Our core principles, our first idea and the metaphors that we live by. What we believe and know intuitively is mediated by what we can say. To speak it is to know it. To say it is to believe it. We are truth tellers by our very actions. And we stand on a precipice looking out over a grand vista, feeling the wind buffeting our wings as we prepare to leap into space. It’s challenging to remain at peace when fear and fascination fill your body and your mind. Inspiration is there for you, but it requires you to jump and lose your connection to the earth, but just for a time. And the true sense of security is within you. When you are sure and certain, when your knowledge is true, you can be secure in what you say, while still being open to inspiration and change. Just because what you know it true, doesn’t mean that there aren’t other truths to be gained as well. One truth does not have to deny another. We are the primal, the magician, the one who shapes. To truly be alive is to be ready to shape ourselves. Let our brain remain mutable to change. From a place of peace, from a place of connection, you will be able to see the rainbow of truths there are to grasp. You will be made better for it.…

What happens when you start by joining the crown and the throat, what are you spreading out into the world, even without others realizing it’s you. What vibrations are you producing and sending that will resonate with others. How do you bring the good news, the joy and the truth to yourself. No matter what you think, you are the ever burning flame and you have the power within you to shine and emanate outward. You can overcome the shame that dulls your light, and you can resonate from a place of power. As you are sending things out, other things are coming in to you. But you don’t have to drink them. You don’t have let them set off resonances within you. Examine them. Why do they make you feel the way they do? What are they touching on that you may need to examine. Because you can trust your dreams that rise up from your deep emotions. They are nuggets of truth. You don’t have to follow them, but you can believe them. They will tell you core things, memories, ideas, reverberations. Finally you need to balance all this out by reminding yourself that you are heartwood growing in sacred ground. It is only with a community that you can grow and expand and resist erosion and solitude that breaks down your connection with your people. But don’t forget to be human. It’s the simple acts of kindness and togetherness that we need the most.…

We are a communal organism, a forest of connectedness, striving ever upward toward that which lies beyond. We are supple and moldable, and we adapt and overcome. This allows us to dive deep into our emotions and to find things that have formed us, core memories and metaphors that affect or control how we act and interact. We need to understand that as we deal with these moments and motions, we have to look at how they are affecting the community around us. But conversely, the community is there for us and we do not explore the depths of our pain alone. Despite the overwhelming nature of our emotions at times, we are an obelisk. A rooted structure, like our forest community that reaches upward, connecting crown to root. With our groundedness we realize that our being, our lives, our emotions will form seeds that grow for generations. What we do, affects those that will come after us. That leaves us with the message that if we know, we know. Our knowledge of ourselves and our universe tells us what is right. And it’s not easy. Sometimes we do what is wrong, but we learn. We see how things bubble up from our core and we learn to correct them, change them, shape them. With this connected and interconnected world, we will flourish and grow, being better each day.…

The reading opens with the intersection Air and Earth, and a reminder that the words we say can fundamentally reshape other people. Just like wind blowing across sand dunes, our expression of ourselves affects others. Be aware of your power to affect change. Flowing from this idea we receive a reminder from The Creator that we are able to fold the very elements around us, and that sometimes we are attacking something in ourselves when we say something judgmental about others. The two cards together tell us to be conscious of the way our communication lifts or levels other people. Coming back around to Air, Fire’s intersection reminds us that we cannot simply talk – we have to act, especially when it comes to professed ideals. What you do comes from you, and it needs to properly represent you. But what if it represents your core metaphor instead? Three Seeds sprinkle on the reading to answer this question, and they reply that community is key. Community, communication, communion, companion, company – that all begin with the prefix “com-.” “With.” You do not have to force your struggles alone. Find collaborators, beta readers, and mentors. They help in ways that cannot always be predicted. And when the do come into your life, the final card reminds us (at the intersection of Water and Metal) that we do best when we stand on the shoulders of giants. The people around you have their gifts, and you have yours. Jealousy blocks your growth, so be sure to be introspective about making change, professing ideals, or taking action on plans.…

At the top of the chakras, how do you play hid and seek with yourself? How do you see yourself from the perspective of others and what does that inform you with? You can’t live forever with the guilt of things that you have done. You have to release it once you learn the lesson, once you show contrition to those who deserve it. It is okay to forgive yourself your missteps and move forward with new and better understanding and moral action. You must say truth kindly, and kindness truthfully. You need to be honest about yourself, but with kind introspection. You should not attack yourself or relieve your guilt and shame. It is important to look at at the Core Image, the root mantra, the essence of your being and see it truthfully, flaws and all. But with kindness, like that of a teacher or mentor helping you to see yourself and improve yourself. Then with the cool touch of icy air, from a high perch, you will see things clearly. See the present moment with purpose and peace. Finally you will defend the actions you have taken and accept the judgment that follows. Not judgmental, but justice. Truly evening the field and accepting where you are and what you can be.…

The context of the reading is the way the heart is affected by the winds and storms that assail it. A tree on a cliff that has been weathered and shaped, some would say mangled, by the forces that bear down up on it. But it survived because it was shaped and changed to survive. It’s not like other trees, it doesn’t just grow upright because it’s in the middle of the forest. It Is unique and contains strong roots, deep striving fingers. The question becomes what is it that you truly desire. Your wish, not a fleeting fancy, but the deeper desire within your depths, that is what your waves can bring you. Examine the things you want and see what is beneath them, what is driving them. That is your true desire. How are your emotions filters for how you understand what’s around you. How are you examining the world? What does your desire have to do with that view? Jealousy and inspiration can draw breath from the same thing, but one will drown you while the other will lift you up, carry you forward. Now is the time to take action, to burn brightly with your generative fire and do something. Break it down, find a way. Make the little changes and take the little steps. What we do, we do for others, whether we know it or not. You have an effect on the broader community and you must accept that as part of why you take the actions you do. Big or small, there are reverberation in the cosmic ocean. What will you resonate?…

For context we return to the intersection of akasha and akasha, how what is right is influenced by what we deeply know. The idea that perfection is the enemy of good, but that we need to strive for the good even when the universe can’t tell us something hard and true. It’s all relative and there isn’t a deep set of laws that we can follow that will be true in all cases and for all people. So we are the Primal, a first mover, the one who creates the elements that make up the world. The power to live a moral life is ours and we must pursue it. It comes from within us, not from without. Then comes the storm that gives us pause. Lightning strikes and provides clear relief to something that had been merely a concept in our minds, now made real and practical. There is a moment of destruction or collapse that we face as we must live out our moral ideas in reality and then deal with the consequences of those actions. We live the book of our lives, our internal world a rich tapestry of thought and ideas, yet everyone else experiences the movie of our actions without that rich context. So we come to the question that eats at everyone with the privilege of debating morality, what do we do when we have excess. What is the right thing to do with what we have but do not need. Is there more goodness in giving, regardless of why or the consequences. Lastly, we are reminded to rest. Even in the face of the struggle to be moral, to know truth, we have to pause and allow our pursuit to settle so that new pathways, new reactions can take hold.…

How does your authentic self look like in the dark vastness of space. How does the orbit of others affect you and your light. You are the ever burning flame, the source of fire in your life and the lives of those around you. You have to love learning, feeling the flames and gravity of others in your life. The fuel you burn comes from the stardust of others, the shared energy that crosses your threshold and makes up the secretions of your life. There are dreams in your depths that you have to trust to rise up and be seen. To share them with others as they share theirs with you. Again we are focused on the intersection of the third eye and the heart. Lovingly seeing others, imbibing others, feeling others. The reminder, the message, is to shine, to act, to do, but to be conscious of where your flame comes from, what you burn and what you shine.…

Change is what happens if you live and move and breathe. It is inevitable. But you can find yourself in the midst of that change and align your chakras to uncover your authentic self, find your sparkle and shine.

The reading begins with a poignant reminder to be aware of the ways in which information influences emotionality. When we look around to observe, perceive, and learn, it is vital to understand that our emotions are a filter that influences how we process what we know. Rather than allowing information to pull us in all directions, there is a better way, a middle way. One that is emotionally intelligent and intelligently emotional. From this place of balanced understanding, it is easier to know that what wells up from our dreams is a representation of who we are actually are: A person who deserves to be treated with respect and care. If we have filtered the learning and understanding to a high degree, then we can move confidently in the direction of our goals. In treating oneself as preciously as platinum, we instruct others in how to do the same. Where as the Gold Rule is externally focused – and often fixated on sacrifice – the Platinum Rule gives us the ability to share of ourselves from a place of abundance, rather than impoverishing sacrifice. Once all this is understood, the moment has come to act. You know you are well informed, you trust your intent, and you share without sacrificing – now go! Do that which has been sifted, cleaned, and checked for impurities. Act knowing that it is an accurate expression of yourself. In manifesting your will, it becomes clear that you see your purpose and accept it to be good.…

We learn from other people not only when we have erred, but how we can make amends and continue to grow. Coming out of these conversations and interactions we learn more about our moral drivers and motivations. The Sage makes an appearance to remind us that sometimes we learn the most when we take moments of silence to reflect and consider what we have done, said, or thought. And during these meditative times, the decks wanted us to remember that curiosity and deep analysis are vital for understanding everything we are trying to accomplish.…

As with the instruments in a band or symphony, the meaning the plays out with our expression changes based on intention. The same metal flute with the same air moving through it can play the same notes an infinite number of ways, and that is one way to think about how our emotions color our words. Remember that you might not play the same melody in the same way on a different day, and take responsibility for the consequences of what you put out into the world. When your words cause a reversal for yourself others, remember to clear the rubble from your third eye to perceive better what has happened and why. Allow new information and understanding to reform your context and intent, then use that rubble to build something new and wonderful. The stones from a Roman ruin can be used to build a cathedral. You are that cathedral, that progress in work, that project that takes a lifetime. It is the living that matters, even more than the tasks themselves. As the storms come and go, as they will forever, remember your cathedral can withstand them. With each storm, you make repairs. You stay out of your own way, and allow yourself the grace to realize that guilt and shame are distractions once their lessons have been learned. If there is grief, consider how it might be a hole, and you can fill it with anything you want. What building material will you choose?…

We navigate the world based on how we perceive it and what we know and learn from it. But our emotions and instincts are a filter, and we must be aware of them as we process the information that comes our way. Sometimes those experiences root themselves within us as shame, and this impacts our choices for the worse. Being free of shame releases energy once used for defense to be allocated instead toward growth. Making a safe space (both internally and literally) provides a respite, but guard against guarding so much that no one can climb the walls around your garden. Otherwise a transformational experience is not actually able to affect change in your life. Be aware of whether compasses that are externally set to true north haven’t been substituted for dials that can be set by biased hands. And finally, recognize that the safe space you built isn’t only for you, so remember to include features that benefit the community of people you love.…

In the vast universe, things move at incredible speeds and yet take millions of years to reach each other. Like that cosmic ocean, we too are together and apart, separated and yet emanating into each other’s lives, seen through the static of each other we must filter down what we are seeing. We can’t look for what’s perfect, we have to look for what we see, and filter that down into our lives and ourselves. We can gain insight at times, leaping above the surface of the ocean and taking in new things, new ideas. But we return again down into our heart and our connection with others. Through willful action we play out those things we have learned and know. We are called to action to reflect the glow we have taken from the universe, or the seeds we have gestated within us. Sending the light back out, but filtered so that we are increasing the good and leaving things better than we found them. Finally we are reminded that we are part of something greater, and that we have to filter ourselves in that greatness so that we are being authentic and improving what we interact with. We have the strongest effect when we share our heart, our lives, our experiences so that others can learn and live with us.…

We are what we are, but we share that through what we say. We shape ourselves through what we say. At times, we need to one reminded that what we say creates what we are in that moment. And that can cause fear. But we are released from that fear if we allow ourselves to be. Someone in our life is giving us joy and good juju. We need to connect with them and share our energy that they have helped of fuel. We must be aware of the energy and purpose from which others are sharing their ideas and opinions. It comes down to doing what needs doing now. All of the actions we can take need deliberate and practiced hands. It’s not just about sharing with others who bring us joy, but purposefully planting in their lives so that they can grow. When we are in harmony, when we are tangled together like vines or waves. We may be a single drop from a cosmic ocean, but we are the congruence of those we are with and the harmony of the interaction of those lives.…

Dean and Jack start with an immediate reaction to the card suggesting that morality and ethics are set and stable. That with our instincts we simply know what is right and true. But we are reminded that even thought what is, still is, what will be is still coming. That even though we have made this action, this decision, this moral outpouring, we must still work to balance it with our own internal compass and evaluate the effects that though tempered by our context, are still true and real and must be dealt with. We are both perfect, and can still be better. Take from others, learn from them, even when you despise or hate them, what can they show you about yourself and the morality and ethics you are making for yourself. Don’t get stuck here. Your journey is one of joys and griefs, but you can’t be bogged down by things that would anchor you to the ground. You are given joy along the journey, and that is why you take it. With this contemplation, sit for a moment with the heat of your flames of action. Let the inspiration that dances in them fill you with ideas and creativity, that which truly makes us human.…

At the start of the year, we get the reminder to speak our emotions in a way that seeks maturity through communication and honesty, authenticity. When we do share, it creates ripples both in ourselves and those we are speaking to. We need to allow those ripples to flow and give time for them to take shape and disperse. We are reminded not to just jump in and flounder, but to take time and consider, partly by taking a pause for something relaxing and introspective, like a bubble bath. From there we can contemplate that which might divide our heart or our soul, and gives us a sense of fear at the unknown. Because when we are at peace and contemplation, we can allow ourselves to dance above the water of the ocean, to reach moments of enlightenment or great understanding. Speak boldly so that you may find maturity and settle the dichotomy in your soul.…

When what we say is influenced by what we see of the world, we are like a boat being influenced by the winds, the emanation of others as they buffet our sails. Some push us ahead, some work against us. Some cross us and force us to reposition or take our sails down completely. We then are reminded that when we do still our waters, we should do so with intention. That doing it out of fear, fear of the new or unknown, leads us to a place where we have no grounding, nowhere to anchor ourselves as we work to understand and ingest this new information that challenges our worldview. Sometimes the world emits toxic sludge into our waters. Venomous, it seeps into us and we are faced with its consequences. Like a factory spoiling the river, we must navigate around it. And sometimes it is us who spills that sludge from our own emotional factory. How are we handling the production, and the sludge it can create? For we are the director as much as we are the orchestra. What we will can shape the lives and actions of others, just as their will can play out on us. In the end, we are the ever-burning flame, and all action, all power, comes from within us. We have the power to shape our actions and the world around us.…

You are a vault that touches heaven and earth, a cathedral that is a sacred and whole space, into which you are deserving of a respect that should fill you root to rafters. As the wind and storm gathers realize that you deserve to feel the joy of riding that wind. You deserve a moment of happiness that fills your sacred space, the laughter of yourself and others because you are not alone in this. Your space is filled with the instruments that can give sound life, that can fill your space with melodies, though which you choose will affect what you feel. You give voice, air, life to your emotions, so choose wisely, pick carefully, feel deeply. For these storms flow from you, not in spite of you. You are the source of the joy and despair that fills your heart, and you can tame the storms within when you allow yourself to fall into the wind’s embrace. Don’t find drama in the storm, don’t feed your resonance with ill fitting songs. Wooden structures reverberate and amplify sound, just as your sacred space takes form and reverberates and amplifies what you fill it with. Like a wooden shrine, cared for through time, you are constantly being refitted and replaced to remain whole and healthy. Guard those relationships which allow you to feel whole and connected. Be shaped by your hand, not by others.…

We begin with a strong reminder to stop, pause, and listen to the intuition that is rising from your molten core, an alarm ringing in your depths. Something needs attention. But first you must still your emotions. Do not let fear roil them and cause them to heave and beat against you. Still them with intention and let them settle so you can hear the message coming up to you from below. There is a connection between your power and your inner sight. Something that allows you to attain a spiritual view of the actions you need to take. It even reminds you that in community you are better, made stronger and more whole by those who can attune to your intuition and bring insights of their own. Because deep down, you are the master of your being, you are the prime mover of your world. You have the power to create the very elements you need to solve this problem, to deal with the alarm that is ringing within you. But to do so, you must strike out into the darkness, your light the only thing to guide you. Plant each flame firmly and start to define a path forward. You have the tools, you have the power, you just need to start with action.…

Revisiting the concept of the obelisk, we begin by discussing what is engraved upon our psyches. Despite the deep etching, these stories can still be adjusted. Nothing is permanent, and we also have the option of creating an entirely new surface. The idea of giving away abundance becomes a guiding principle, especially when it helps to clarify the way in which we create legacies while also avoiding mindless gathering or accumulating. One of the practices that allows us to grow and evolve is a specific mindfulness about words. What we say has a tendency to fulfill itself, almost like magic spells, so we must be careful about the words we use to tell our stories. Just the process of purging property and ideas can itself be a regenerating process that allows a new version of ourselves to emerge. We close with a reminder that regardless of our desires, change is constant and inevitable. It is better to embrace the practices that invigorate our various metamorphoses.…

Cycles are not circles, they’re spirals, moving inward and upward. The Celestial was eager to come out of the deck, just as we are eager to begin a journey. Sometimes cycles happen suddenly, unexpectedly. The journey starts from any point that you choose or discover. Let the journey become absorbed into you. They don’t stay superficial, the become part of who you are, you heal around them. Remain nimble as you heal, learn and evolve. There’s a difference between bravery and courage. What is knocked down is not ended. Sometimes life washes everything away. Consider where you’re building and what you’re building. Learn from past mistakes to be more evolved as you grow. We ourselves are the filters for our life and the information that flows through it. You need to feel discomfort while you are learning. You have to get out of your own way to be open to experiencing contradiction. In the shadow water, too much is happening, too many people are splashing around. You have to return to deep water, to stable emotions so you can take the time and space to find more information, better clarity. Part of aging is experiencing these deeper currents and finding ways to bravely engage with what you see. Being uncomfortable means you have a chance to take in something new, to deepen your journey, to reconnect with past lessons and find new material within them.…

A familiar face appears with root touching crown and we are reminded of the obelisk that sits so grounded and yet reaches toward the heavens. We have the opportunity to rebalance ourselves, to connect root to crown and fill ourselves with the positive and balanced energy of a free-flowing system. Right on cue we rise to the second chakra and remind ourselves that we are the source of our emotions, and that we are not moved by them, but are the one doing the moving. Next we consider how we exchange energy with others as we work toward balance, how to not inflict ourselves on others, but to exchange and improve ourself and others at the same time. We return to the root as the 10 of seeds shows us that our seeds, our creations and creativity will continue on for generations, and that we must be in balance for those seeds to grow roses and not weeds. To cap it off, we rise to the 5th and 6th chakras and look at how we interact with others and how that affects what we see and say. The reading was a patient one that laid out a path to balance. And it is a cyclical journey, but a spiral moving ever inward and upward.…

Here we find a bookended reading: Number 43 of 49 from Jack’s system opens and closes the reading, but in different manifestations of the concept. The idea threading through the cards is that we live an existential paradox. We are simultaneously so very important, and yet so very insignificant. But this is empowering in both directions: In the physical present, we can take responsibility for our actions as we hone our practice of sharing goodness. But within the cosmic context, we can also understand that we do not have to be perfect to be effective. The reading affirms that we have the innate ability to use our gifts, but that doing so may require a death of the ego to allow our legacy to fulfill its best potential.…

The sassiest of Jack’s four decks jumps right in with a reminder to be curious and proactive about learning and discovery, given that this is part of the ongoing process of evolving as a person. Dean pulls next, and the reading segues into the idea that this journey of growth may seem fraught with peril – what if what I learn undermines everything I am and know? Good! It probably needs to. But once the study and practice transitions into actionable skill, it is very important to share the wisdom with others. Not only does the giving nourish you even more, it gives the world an opportunity to benefit as well. Something to consider in the sharing: When is it important that you take credit for the effort, and when is it more productive to remain anonymous? We are filters, and people may be reflexively closed to truth if they happen to have disagreed with us in the past. Transparency and honesty are not exactly the same, so deploy them mindfully.…
