  • The Oedipus Cycle and Tarot Triumphs
    by Mary K. Greer on February 14, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    This is about the Oedipus cycle viewed through the lens of Tarot’s Major Arcana, culminating in the realization of Oedipus’s apotheosis and a nuanced exploration of fate in classical Greek thought. I studied this cycle of three plays in 1968 in a theatre class on Greek drama during the same period when I was introduced

    The following is for those interested in the human+AI interactions via ChatGPT, which, in my case, began with my fascination for using ChatGPT for Tarot inquiries. This particular experiment shows both the benefits and liabilities, or even dangers, of conversations if the human is unaware of the programming and core AI purposes involved. MKG to

  • Mindful Mercury Retrograde Tarot Spread
    by Megan Black on March 8, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    It can be a good idea to do a tarot reading before the retrograde to see how it might affect you personally. The overarching themes of Mercury in Retrograde involve communication, technology, and travel. If you plan on making any critical decisions during a retrograde, especially those involving contracts, being prepared is definitely a good idea.

  • The Hit List – Chronically chronicling
    by Theresa Reed on March 22, 2025 at 11:56 am

    This past weekend, I went on a major decluttering spree. Part of that trashy endeavor included shredding over twenty years of journals. I have been chronic about chronicling my life – but for some reason, I felt it was time to torch those old entries. It felt liberating. Those are stories no one needs to The post The Hit List – Chronically chronicling appeared first on The Tarot Lady.

  • Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. Recommendation
    by Sharon Day on July 21, 2023 at 4:48 pm

    Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. RecommendationWithin the esoteric strands of Alexandrian Witchcraft, the practice of vouching serves as a confirmation of an Initiate’s journey into the sacred realm. It is a declaration, a stamp of authenticity that states: Yes, I can confirm that this person has been initiated into the Craft.Nevertheless, this fundamental process is often misconstrued, leading to a convolution that the witchcraft community […]

    She was the third High Priesthood Finn to join us for an afternoon meeting to verify her lineage — in other words, to obtain a ‘vouch’ for the integrity of her initiatory status. Not, however, before Maxine extolled her utter disdain for this ‘vouching business’, as she often calls it.Indeed, I lose track of the times Maxine’s said ‘Alex and I could tell within five minutes if someone was initiated’; or, as another elder she likes to quote said ‘they smell right.’Back […]
