Seven of Wands
Hot Topic – Le Tigre
This song is bursting at the seams with inspiring people – women and feminists whose activism, art, thinking, writing or general awesomeness have progressed the fight for equality (see lyrics below the video!)
For me, this is a big part of the Seven of Wands. It’s a card that often points out that you feel alone in your fight, or have doubts about the project you’re working on. It might suggest that you’re not getting enough support, or simply that it all feels a bit hard right now. And it says ‘don’t stop’. It’s a card for encouragement and gratitude for your work, it’s a card that says that your work is important.
Don’t give up.

I’m a 30-something writer, artist, tarot reader, and perpetual explorer of the space between thought, feeling, and action.
I believe that spirituality and ritual are for everybody. I’m about the journey, in all of its messy, non-linear, chaotic iterations. I am excited by anticapitalist business and living with my whole entire self present. I use tarot cards to bring forth hidden truth, and ritual to affirm my commitment, over and over, to my ever-shifting path.
