BTW 42: Underworld, But Make It Fashion – Ace of Pents Part 2

Strange Magic Podcast - A podcast by Amanda Yates Garcia, Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs - Fridays

In this episode, Amanda tells the folktale of Tannhauser, a 13th century knight and writer of erotic poetry. (This episode is steamy!). Though the story takes place in Germany, it was a variation of a tale common throughout Europe over a thousand year period while European culture was transitioning from animist paganism to Christianity. It tells the story of a mortal man seduced by an otherworldly woman, such as a fairy queen or goddess, who lures him to her Underworld paradise. This story asks us: where does abundance actually come from? Does it come from the land, physical pleasure, healthy food, enjoying loved ones, and contributing to our community in some way? Or does abundance come from working hard, getting a well paying job, saving money, and playing by "the rules"? When Spirit presents us with its gifts, what should we do with them? How can we cherish the abundance available to us and help it grow? Tune in to find out! Please note that this is part 2 of our Ace of Pentacles episode, continuing from last week, but you can totally listen to it as a stand alone piece. Just note, it might be a little too sexy for sensitive listeners. ** TO ENTER OUR CONTEST TO WIN A FREE WORKSHOP OR 1/2 HOUR TAROT SESSION...** Simply go to Apple / iTunes Podcasts , leave a sweet review of the show, screenshot it and then email it to us at [email protected].
