Episode 56: Seven of Swords

NEW THIS WEEK - Be sure to check out Susie's new website at www.tsusanchang.com ! In this week's episode we look at the 7 of Swords, the Lord of Futility or Unstable Effort - and oh, so much more! Here a divided mind brings both skill and sabotage; here dwell actors, diplomats, tricksters, politicians, and the spirit of wily Odysseus, beloved and scorned by the gods.  The moon's rulership of this final Aquarian decan brings flexibility, inconstancy and a familiarity with exile. In our discussion, we talk about the "accomplishing of will and giving of offense, Orpheus and the fatal look-back, the role of the shaman as a citizen of many realms, the "mutilated heads" of the Picatrix and the destruction of the ego, the tzaddiq's secret of a good deed done for its own sake, fairies and changelings,  Maupis d'Aigremont, journeys across the abyss with camel and tent, Osiris, the 49 days of the Bardo, improvisation, the monkey mind, distractions and multitasking, procrastination, games and the players who play them, rheumatic boxers, and kings in disguise.
