Prairie Majesty Wisdom with Kara Simons

In this interview with oracle deck creator Kara Simons, Cyndera and Kara explore the bounty of wisdom from the prairie plains through its animals, flora and elemental beings. At the heart of this beautiful and boldly illustrated deck is the revelation of self sovereignty, and the invitation therein to reclaim a direct connection with nature. Kara breaks down the channeled wisdom of these cards and the structure that organically emerged during the cards' creation. Stories of synchronicity and deep learning abound, including how the connection with artist Amy Putney Koenig was sparked. Carefully crafted questions emerge from each card that will clarify your inquiries and stir up transformative intuition. Any and all are welcome to the wildness of the prairie to open to its expansive wisdom!

Archetypes of the Masculine & Feminine

It’s tempting to assign gender to the Archetypes of Masculine & Feminine but this is often a folly because no matter what you outwardly identify with the most we all have qualities of the Masculine and Feminine or as Carl Jung puts it the Anima and Animus.  

 

This topic is ginormous but Cyndera and Julienne focus on how these archetypes show up in the major arcana.  Julienne parses out several sets based on themes of how the archetypes manifest in the world and as usual the conversation ranges from the personal to the political and how we can use the mythology of tarot for a better understanding of ourselves and our world.
