Boing boing merry merry pentacles suit podfam! Special guest and old friend Sam Vodopia joins Phil on pod for a reading and a very loosely themed 'ace of pentacles' episode. If you zoom way out you can sort of see how what we discuss is on topic for Ace of Pentacles, which is about how we set goals and understand our obstacles. Anyway, Phil gives Sam a mini lesson on Tarot readings and how they work, and we talk about being a stoner, justice, the law, anger, violence, linguistics, the nature of human communication and human meaning, polyvagal theory, spirituality, musical practice... more. Plenty more. There's a part two. Outro music Phil's Emperor-inspired whale music featuring the grandiose words of his Lordship John Maclean.
