The Bag Lady

is a living Sankofa

an altar for the abandoned

an archive of ancestors

the keeper of the discarded

the uncomfortable truth you’d prefer to forget

wreaking havoc on the amnesia

the forgetting

the erasure

the silencing

she ain’t no 21st century mammy

memory is labor

do your work

These are the opening words in the limited edition print of The Bag Lady Manifesta monograph that was published in 2017 and accompanied Taja Lindley’s performance ritual by the same name.

In this episode, Taja maps the parallels and intersections of The Bag Lady (process, performance ritual, and installation) and the High Priestess in the tarot.

Age 36 is Taja’s 11 year, also known as the XI Justice Year. With a Hidden Factor Card as her Year Card, this year is an opportunity to work with the constellated energies of her destiny. This episode begins an overview of XI Justice as a card in the major arcana of the tarot and applying that understanding to XI Justice as a Hidden Factor Card (also known as Shadow Card and Teacher Card) and as a Year Card. Taja looks back at two previous XI Justice Years (2003 and 2012) to help her make sense and meaning of what is to come during her current rotation around the sun.

If you are reviewing or currently experiencing an XI Justice Year, Taja suggests the following framework to examine and understand the wisdom and lessons that XI Justice has to offer:

1. Review Wheel of Fortune Year and identify the big changes that unfolded.
2. How have/will you manage the karma & consequences of what unfolded last year? 
3. How did/will you navigate negotiations and decision making? How did/can you put your intuition to practical use?
4. And, for those of us in the Constellation of the High Priestess, how has/can this year move(d) us into deeper alignment with our soul purpose? (This question applies for any year where one of the cards of your constellation comes up as a year card, regardless if it is XI Justice or something else. )

Birthday celebrations and rituals continued, this time featuring some of last month's celebrations. 8 minutes parasailing. A self directed tarot reading.  Solar return chart decoding. And an unanticipated (and unwelcomed!) surprise.

 36 is expected to be a transformative year

It's July and in true Cancer fashion, Taja takes a trip down memory lane and shares some notes and nostalgia from her most recent birthdays.

Tarot constellations are calculated based on the date of our birth, so it  feels fitting to dedicate this month's episode to solar return practices and rituals...especially since Taja takes her birthday celebrations *very* seriously!

November 2020 was a pivotal portal. Moving to Hawaii. Romantic anniversary.  Scorpio season and the new moon in scorpio. All of this conspired to lead Taja to tarot constellations and to birth this project of II XI XX.

There are always multiple beginnings. This is one of the creation stories.
