Cardslingers Coast to CoastEpisode 127: I’m Not Dancing to That With The Four of CupsHappy Pride Month, listeners. In honor of the quiltwork of beliefs, creeds, and queerness, we created a new logo for the cast. Enjoy!
Do you take what is offered? This is the question that the Four of Cups reminds us of. It reminds us to be discerning and establish boundaries. Melissa, Hilary, and Jaymi examine life, the universe, and menopause through the lens of this card. In the Smith Waite deck, this card’s vibe is a total meh. Seeing the figure with their arms crossed is a boundary — a passive form of activism against the norm. Someti...2025-06-1333 minCardslingers Coast to CoastEpisode 122: Only The Three of Swords Knows Such GriefGood grief, we’re at the three of Swords. We have a floating heart in the middle of a rainstorm on the image in the Smith Waite deck. It’s being pierced with three swords. It’s a bleak card of heartbreak and emotion; many of us hate seeing this card and giving the hard news to clients. Like The Tower card, this card is striking. It’s one of the most emotional cards in a suit that lends itself to air, communication, and braininess.
Homework: Uncertainty is hard, and the sword's resources lead to good communication. Where do...2025-03-2827 min

At its core, this card represents fear and the unknown. It’s a reminder of all we have gone through in The Tower and Devil cards. Yet, this card tells us to recognize the darkness and to learn the lies. Lean into the darkness, sit with it, and learn from the shadows.

New Books in Animal StudiesMatthieu Ricard, "A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion" (Shambhala, 2016)Today I talked to Matthieu Ricard about two books. The first is A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion (Shambhala, 2016) It is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from...2021-02-051h 11
