Chel, the Crone of Blades, crowned with eagle feathers, carries the light of understanding, and relieves us with her blade from our pain.
She indicates change by cutting away what we no longer need.
The Crone, The Wise One, who knows the secrets of the universe, is that part of ourselves which possesses deep knowledge and understanding.
The value of "aloneness" and creative solitude, brings prudence and foresight.
The Crone is also a Cutter; she closes, dissolves and ends things.
Horah, ten of flames, indicates things have reached a stage of completion, a kind of death, as we finish a cycle and prepare to birth a new one. It is necessary to let go, so the energy of transformation can flow.

Mars and Uranus both at 29 degrees, in Pisces and Ta**us, respectively.
“The 29th degree in astrology, known as the anoretic degree, is the final, critical degree of a zodiac sign, signifying an urgent culmination, mastery, or a "fated" completion.”
Mars in Pisces, in this instance, represents the action of cutting away ending a past life soul tie.
Uranus in Ta**us, in this instance, represents, the cutting of the soul tie for liberation and freedom.

This is clearly the time of endings and closure.
A time for cutting away the old for new forward momentum.
Dissolving and cutting away soul ties,
especially from another’s binding of manipulation and mishandling.
The cutting of a soul tie, its energetic and spiritual binding, frees you from the chains of the past so that you can move freely forward.
While a Shaman or Crone may facilitate in the cutting of a soul tie, it is God The Most High who severs it completely.
God, closes doors with his seal, from whom was gifted your presence and then dishonored you.
God severs the soul tie, pulls you out, restores you, and sets you apart for something greater.
Ending complete and spiritual closure clean.

When the 5 of Swords reversed appears, there are many energies at play, which are all to do with admission of defeat, and coming to terms with the simple fact that sometimes the cost of ‘winning’ is just far too high.
You may be feeling the urge to prove that you are right about something to someone - wasting your time and energy on these futile arguments to avoid being ‘wrong’.
Perhaps there is a conflict currently which you are refusing to acknowledge you have a part in, or you have been struggling with a situation for a period of time that needs to be let go.
Resolution is essential here.
Whether within yourself, or with others, it will provide space for progress, and it will give all parties peace.

The reversed 8 of Swords is a good sign, it signals maturity, self-acceptance and a recognition of your own power and responsibility.
You are aware that you’re capable of making conscious decisions, because you are confident in who you are, and your power to affect change in both yourself and the wider circle that you are involved with.

Ace of Rings in reverse can suggest potential financial adversity or that you’ve had a few missed opportunities which created setbacks and a chain reaction of issues that you are dealing with. If you have not felt the effects of this, it is still not recommended that you take any large financial risks - but if they
are necessary you must make choices only after thorough consideration.
Another possible meaning of this reversal is that you are overly concerned about money.
Yes, we all need to pay attention to our finances, but to be overly worried can steal our capacity for happiness in the present moment.
Count your blessings. Do what you can and leave the rest to the universe.

The 10 of Cups is one of the most uplifting of cards that you can receive.
Indicating an overall contentedness and pleasure with life at this moment, in all aspects, especially home and family life.
There is an air of health and happiness, the people close to you are likely providing you with much love and support, you are feeling grateful for their place in your life.

Maybe life wasn’t like this so recently, but this card symbolizes that old energy and issues have been resolved and this outcome you are experiencing is the result of both positive and negative forces working to achieve harmony.
The Ten of Cups also reminds you that if you are on the path of hard work to gain an outcome, you will be rewarded for your efforts. You will gain the security and fulfillment you wish for in life.
When you get there, enjoy it!

Be wary, The Knight of Cups who comes in with the Moon.
The Moon's hidden influences and veiled mystery hides in his shadows. Secrets behind sentiment that yearn to enter the light of consciousness.
When emotions crest they leave tears in their wake the Moon refuses to console.
The Knight of Cups is on a quest, but not for your heart, because that can never shine brighter than his own grail.
He comes to conquer, not to love.
He does not know what love truly looks like, having the Moon as a Mother, raised on the shadow side of her light,
lacking nurturing and affection, given approval only for accomplishment.

The Chariot, his vehicle, moves fast and furious to accomplish in order to gain any semblance of affection and what he believes love is; that of which is approval from His Moon.
He is attuned to a form of creative expression, be it art, literature, music, maybe, all three.
Highly indicative of recognition and honor in any field, he seeks venture into new territory for further experience and merit.
He travels and moves to heights the stationary Moon never could, through scholarship, social polish and superficial fabrication.
The power of triumph is harnessed and bears constant vigilance to conquer the World.
In the circle cast by the light of the Moon, life personifies the art of becoming.
Like the caterpillar that sheds the cocoon, he sheds the Moon, becoming the butterfly in true form of his inherent being in search of new light and new heights.
He seeks, and arrives, but continuously hears the call of faraway places and new horizons.
Settled,, but not truly settled, nothing ever truly enough,
the need to conquer, now inherent in his nature, becomes his dark side.
The face of every goddess shines forth as the silvery light of his Moon.
The enigmatic call of these secrets, engenders nostalgia of the unconscious, mirroring the lunar light of his soul, in reflection of His Moon.
The dark side of deception in search of affection,
disguised approval of achievement is hidden in every conquest of a new Moon.

The Knight of Cups embodies the Knight of Staffs, in secret they move to and fro.
Judgement comes collecting atonement of consciousness brought to light while trying to escape karmic Justice.
On guard with the Nine of Staffs, always juggling two worlds,
he ends up back in the garden of the silvery Moon,
alone in his only true home.
Thus, the making of a narcissist; the Moon's mini Me,
whom she conquered the World vicariously through,
while he just vicariously conquered She.

The Ten of Swords is an unforeseen and very painful ending that causes one to collapse in emotional pain and exhaustion because it is such a shocking loss.
There is no control over the harmful circumstances, only management of reactions.
This is being so broken with grief that ultimately the only choice is to keep moving forward moment to moment.

The Two of Cups is the love that flows between two people with
tenderness and deep regard.
There is affection in the union; a kinship of heartfelt alliance, a close intimate bond.
This may be between family, friend, or lovers.
The loss of this relationship forever changes you.

The Eight of Wands is sudden incoming news that calls for swift action with courage to move forward and it may involve travel.

The Fool is about to brave the unknown, and requires faith.
Faith may be all you have at this moment, and you trust what your gut is telling you.

God is most close to the brokenhearted.
In the Lakota/Sioux tradition, a person who is grieving is considered most waken, most holy.
Struck by sudden loss, they stand on the threshold of the spirit world.
Time has stopped in sorrow.
The bereaved has no layer of protection, as they live in the reality of loss, and only in present moment.
There is special strength in their prayers.

It is said that time heals all things, but maybe time only changes the intensity of the way grief is felt.
Some grief never leaves, it just changes how you live with it.
Like The Fool, we move forward and begin again,
no longer standing still, or clinging to the past, but slowly embracing that there is a future to move into.

to embark on a spiritual sojourn, literally or figuratively.

The Ace of Cups shows a new love filling her cup expressing deeper levels of intimacy than she was able to trust before.
It is slow, steady, transparent and consistent, which provides safety with a peaceful calm.

This is a divine love, blessed with abundance, spiritual awakening, recovery and healing.
This is a spiritual union between two hearts as one soul as the Divine intended.

Highly discriminatory, knowledgable and aware, the High Priestess connects to the Divine Christ energy insight that is within her and the greater consciousness of the One Mind.

The 6 of Wands indicates the High Priestess's victory, through her intuitive gifts, over the division of dimensions between illusion and reality.
Her intuition is home within herself and she lives life through this sight.

The 9 of Pentacles shows she is experienced in the world, and puts much skill, expertise and effort in work to enjoy life and the fruits of her labor.
She retreats often into isolation of her home and garden, her sanctuary, as the stirrings of energy outside of it cause overstimulation of her sensitive nervous system.

The 6 of Pentacles indicates she gives of herself through her intuitive gifts and work.
The intuitive gifts she possesses are to help others with insight and messages that come through the connection to Christ consciousness within her.

This demonstrates ultimate humility, love, and servant leadership. True greatness is found in humble service.

Be in gratitude for the gift of friend.

The King of Swords is highly intellectual and a great thinker.
They think through all of their actions before proceeding.
It is rare for them to act impulsively from emotions.
They experience the world through the lens of the mind not the heart.

The 7 of Swords indicates moves made executed with the highest concentration. They are intentional.
Traditionally, this card indicates sneakiness and/or deception.
The King of Swords planned moves that will cause someone or something to be taken by surprise, and possibly deceived.

With the 5 of Cups there is a significant loss, mourning or grief.
There are still two cups upright in the background signifying there is room to salvage what has been torn.
However, it is not time to rebuild yet.
It is important to work through feelings, be heard, and let tears roll in release.

The King of Swords has caused emotional injury by betrayal that was clearly well thought out and manipulated prior to its ex*****on.
He planned with precision, in secret, mostly likely behaving as if nothing were different or changed.
He knew what he was doing, and that it would cause injury and grief for this person.
This person betrayed, was close to the King of Swords.
Close enough that he was given a significant level of trust.
The King of Swords act of betrayal was intentional, not innocent or by mistake.
It was very well thought out and planned beforehand.
Betrayal with forethought makes the hurt worse because the betrayed was good to him, shared with and cared for him.

This Wednesday of Holy Week collective card draw brings to mind Judas and his betrayal of Jesus for silver.
Jesus was good to Judas, and shared and cared for him.
Judas still betrayed, knowingly, and even after witnessing Jesus.
Jesus knew Judas would betray him.

It is likely as well that on some level there was knowledge the King of Swords would betray.
Maybe the King of Swords betrayed before and this was common knowledge. Maybe he promised he would not do it again.
Grieve, cry, mourn the loss. Forgive for yourself.
But never trust that King of Swords again.
He is the archetypal Judas.
Let him live and die with his loss.
Because in the end, it is His loss, not yours.

God is believed to restore, recompense, and bring good out of losses. What was meant for harm will be turned for good.

The 5 of Pentacles shows anxiety, apprehension, and concern.
Worried thoughts about the outcome of a current situation, about the future.
Worry; it is part of the process of becoming a serious being.
We should feel deep concern for the well-being of the next generation with humane regard.
However, we need to look fear in the face and not surrender to despair.

The 2 of Wands, each bearing a symbol, one the rose, the other the lily, are crossed in front of man, just as good fortune crosses and intersects with ill luck.
The lily represents purity, honesty, and vulnerability, while
desire and beauty are embodied in the rose, with danger inherent in the bloom, as the tender flower protects itself with cruel thorns.
We seek adventure and fortune with hope in a venture of good prospects, confident it will bring a successful new beginning.

The 10 of Wands of burdens being shouldered on the way to the end goal, so much so, there is possibility of losing sight of the path.
The experience of feeling weighed down and oppressed with a dark presence of spirit.
Trepidation about reaching the safety and comfort of home, even when home is visible in the distance.
Perseverance, though hard pressed, asking "will we make it?".

The Tree of Life appears at the Endless Dance of Death.
Towering over the tree are the intertwined dancing figures of Death and Humanity.
They dance and struggle, struggle and dance.
The dance of death is an ongoing process, from the moment of. birth, all throughout life.
There is always the presence of the moment of dying.
All around Death and the Dancer are faces of rebirth and renewal.
The faces are the next generation of life, the resurrected souls of the dead, the self-renewing power of nature.
Transformation; the extraordinary metamorphosis of new life emerging from death.
The confrontations of life, the reconciliations, endings and new beginnings; the passing away of one reality and the birth of another.
The presence of Death is the consciousness that gives life meaning.
To enjoy life, its pleasures and profound mysteries, is to remember its preciousness and brevity.
The future is made clear by the passing away of the old, and the present is the only reality that is vital in this earthly place of life.
The Endless Dance of Death is a cleansing, as well as a promise, to begin anew with a clean slate.

This Tuesday morning of Holy Week, there is a noticeable comparison between the path the collective walks in life shown in this reading, to that path Jesus walked upon the earth.
His concern for future generations, the seeking with hope of good fortune, although His seeking was more a way-showing to others what fortune truly is.
His carrying of burdens, that of which He did for all.
He carried His cross He would be crucified upon to Calvary,
so The Endless Dance of Death would bring the glory of eternal life, the treasure of Heaven, forevermore.
