| The Seven of Wands card from the Tarot of Pagan Cats. An orange cat stands on a grassy hillock, back arched, tail puffed. The cat hisses at six wooden staves being brandished at the cat by unseen attackers. Behind the cat, a seventh wooden stave is planted on the hillside with a small red flag hanging from the top (with the alchemical symbol for fire on the flag). |
No post here and now–I am on temporary medical leave, and while I was really hoping to dig down and fight through to write something earnest for this decan’s subject–suburbia’s outcast White queen Shirley Jackson and her heart-wrenching novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle–one of the lessons the Seven of Wands and Shirley Jackson has taught me is to observe and honor the costs of fighting through, and to retreat when doing so is required to regain strength.
Hopefully, I will come back and write this post in the future. For now, I continue to dedicate my heart to all of you who are resisting oppression and injustice in all its forms, in as many creative ways as are within your power to wield.
