Episode 51: Two of Swords

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

In this episode we welcome the 2 of Swords, the Lord of Peace or Peace Restored.  What is Peace doing in the suit of warfare, we ask?  What mental or intellectual capacities contribute to Peace? the 2 of Swords is the first of the three Libra cards in the minor arcana.  The Moon rules this decan of the Scales, lending her changefulness and resilience to the avatar of Justice. We consider the conflicted nature of the mind, restorative justice, equal and opposed points of view, and the uses of silence, the mind in motion, the wisdom of Chokmah.  We look at: silence and chastity, fair relationships, the mysteries of the numbers 2 and 11, the goddess Ma'at and feather of truth, the Erinyes, Athena, blindfolds, hoodwinks, veils, stages, dangerous rocks, angels, daggers, rapiers, and spiraling pinwheels.
