Episode 63: Page or Princess of Swords

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

We end the suit of Swords with a rush of wind and a whirling blade belonging to the Page or Princess of Swords.  The earthy part of air, she freely inscribes her will on the astral plane - the "fixation of the volatile".  With the power of the Gorgon's head, she concretizes choices, turning options into hard fact.  She will tell you: what she doesn't know isn't worth knowing.  Lotus of the palace of air, she floats and dances easterly - and woe unto anyone who tries to deprive her of her freedom! In our conversation we touch on: navigation, the New World vs the Old World, heads separate and attached, the Bornless Rite, the Star card, the goddess Minerva, Perseus and Andromeda, Medusa and her sisters, the star Algol, the monkey mind, the Great and Terrible Oz, the smoking yet fireless altar, Lilith, Ogier the Dane of the short sword Cortain, vengefulness and sorcery, psychic healing and coincidence,  I  Ching hexagram 180("Gun," or Remedying), the geomantic figure Fortuna Minor, the secret service, spying, the swordswoman of the Ruach, linguists, programmers, and task managers.
