Fire Ant: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
Now, we approach the animals of the fire element. These animals, the creatures of the deserts and grasslands, all tend to matters of the spirit. They represent our ability to alchemize and transform. From the guidebook, these animals lead us towards change. They represent the ego and encourage us to lean into change, so that […]
Judgment
Judgment from the Guardian of the Night Tarot We are nearing the end of the Major Arcana, with only two cards left in our deep dive. This journey of moving through each card exposes the undertaking of self-discovery, the forging and losing of identity, and the ultimate end of evolution and rising into something bigger. […]
Whale: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
We have arrived at the end of the water element. The animals that have journeyed with us have taught us how to move in the flow of life, express our emotions with awareness, and create from the center within that is connected to the world at large. Our last card in the water element is […]
The Sun
The Sun from the Shadowscapes Tarot We are so close to coming to the end of the Major Arcana. The Fool has almost completed the journey, bounding into and out of each card with the spontaneity that only he can bring. Once we get to the World card, the journey starts over again. But, for […]
The Moon
The Moon gives us the permission slip to play, to dream, to let loose our normal logical selves, and tap into the primal, inexplicable, and palpable energies within.

With the Shark, we had to confront and face some of our deepest shadows. The Shark invites us to look into the dark waters of […]
Book Review: The Modern Witchcraft Book of Tarot: Your Complete Guide to Understanding the Tarot

Shark: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
Next in the series of moving through each animal in the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck, we come to the creature that stirs fear and the subconscious- the Shark. The Shark is an animal that carries an emotional trigger for a lot of people. Many dislike or fear the Shark, while others push for a […]
The Devil
The Devil from the Ostara Tarot Continuing in the series of looking at each tarot card in depth, we have finally arrived at the Evolution line (the third line of the Major Arcana). The card that introduces us to our ever-evolving self is the Devil. I hope that by the time you are done reading […]
