The Hierophant and Six of Swords
We’ve got the Six of Swords for the second day in a row with a different deck! I love the artwork in this card; I keep getting, “Float on by like a butterfly.” You don’t need to have a fully thought out plan to progress on your path. Life can get in the way of certain plans, so I feel it’s important for you to continue to go with the flow and adapt to any roadblocks you might come across. This Hierophant is making me feel like connecting with your ancestors, or asking for advice from any older family members may help you figure out what to move towards. There are stories of our ancestors written in the constellations; look to the stars to learn from these stories. Take everything you have learned from history and from older generations with you as you move forward toward the unknown

I’m back in my Brooklyn apartment! It feels so good to be back, and I’m so excited to show you all more of my decks (I have a ridiculous amount) Anyway, here’s the collective energy for today!
Six of Swords and The Lovers
The first thing I’m noticing here is that we have two 6’s. In numerology, 6 is the number of unconditional love, empathy, healing, and hope. Collectively, we are moving on from the past; past situations or people that no longer serve us; and past mindsets that don’t align with who we are now. Some of you may be getting closure on a past relationship, or have decided to choose yourself first over a person who’s just not good for the person you are now. You may also meet a new romantic interest because you have decided to move on from someone in your past. Whatever you’re moving on from, you’ve made the choice to because you know it’s what’s best for you. Even though we don’t know what’s coming next, we can be sure the future is brighter than our past

Song:Anakin and Padmé (Kevin Kliner)
Padme and Anakin as Six of Swords - The card shows that you are in a state of transition, leaving behind what was familiar and moving towards the unknown.

Six of Swords. Art by Cephalopodunk, from The Alleyman’s Tarot.
Six of Swords is about journeys, about change and transition, rites of passage, and about leaving baggage behind. “Difficult but necessary change” is how I usually think of it. I was strongly inspired by the traditional Rider-Waite imagery, but make it sub-Moebius 70’s sci-fi.
Got this card tonight in a reading with the Alleyman’s Tarot, and it was so on point I almost cried

A preview from this month’s video on Patreon. I call these specific explorations Drawing Divinations. I pull a card & do a stream of conscious sketch inspired by said card. It’s been a great way to learn about different practices and systems, and it tricks my brain into not being swallowed by the idea of making a tarot deck.
