Episode 61: Queen of Swords

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

And here she is in all her INFJ glory: the Queen of Swords. Whether you call her the Ice Queen, the Wolf Queen, the Dancing Queen, she is as formidable as she is graceful.   The watery part of air, she pierces through illusion and perceives patterns invisible to most.  Associated with the final decan of Virgo and the first two decans of Libra, she borrows the Hermit's solitude and the measured symmetry of Justice.  Peace and Sorrow, the 2 and 3 of Swords, are her familiars.In our conversation we discuss the balance of night and day and  the Thrones of Air, the equinox, the festival of Mabon, the Green Man, wordsmiths, seamstresses, and warrior maidens, Black Maria, Kaplan, Pallas Athena, Pique Dame, the Devil's nutting day, cumulostratus clouds, the winged heads of children and the severed heads of bearded men heads, butterflies, hexagram 28 (da guo, Great Exceeding), obsolete constellations, widows and divorcees, the Viking queen Hjørdis, BS detection, the , Ox and the Ox goad, the renunciation of community, accuracy in superficial things, and the love of music and words.
