Episode 28: Seven of Wands

Here is the renegade, the rebel heart, the iconoclast!  Fearless and hotheaded, the 7 of Wands corresponds to the third decan of Leo, ruled by Mars.  He is the lord of Valor, and his courage is that of the uphill battle.  The adversaries are many - six against one! but glory and individual heroism are within grasp of his brute force. This is our first experience, in the minor arcana, of the creative and off-kilter energy of the number seven.  Since the seventh sephira belongs to Venus, we explore her in her warrior aspect, as well as in  the goddesses Babalon and Nike.  And we tip a tattered hat to Shakespeare's rascal Petruchio, bent on conquest of his shrewish Katherine.
