Episode 08/11 - Strength / Lust

Fortune’s Wheelhouse - A podcast by Susie Chang and Mel Meleen

Vestal Virgin or Holy Harlot?  She's the 'Strength' card in the Rider Waite Smith deck and the 'Lust' card in the Thoth deck.  How can we reconcile these avatars of purity and passion?  Join the Daughter of Fortitude and your co-hosts as we travel the Path of the Flaming Sword to find out, visiting the 5, 6, and 7 of Wands along the way. We talk about the role of Leo's lion, and by what power she controls it.  We talk about the goddess Babalon, and her connection to the scarlet woman of Revelation.  And we talk about innocence, promiscuity, and the aspects known and unknown of strong women. To learn more about Strength or Lust, the sign of Leo, the Hebrew letter Teth, the color schemes of the cards, and so much more, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse.  You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more at our RedBubble shop.
