In this episode, deck creator and multi-media artist Courtney Alexander joined us as we discuss the King of Swords, who teaches use how to use our ideas as tools to break through barriers, obliterate the oppressive structures holding us back, and find more joy in our spirituality. We discuss art as a form of resistance and a form of transformation, God as ecosystem, and being able to read the cards just through their energy. Amanda begins the episode with the basics of the card, plus a discussion of an indigenous hero, Kandiaronk, who shows us how language can be a force of liberation. Join us!
