In this week's episode we discuss the personality of the Page of Pentacles and one of the "Fathers of History" Thucydides.

The Page of Pentacles has a lot in common with the Myer-Briggs ISTJ personality type! They're responsible people who take their work very seriously, possessing a great sense of duty and grit. The Page of Pentacles is most often a messenger for new opportunities (especially ones for increasing wealth) and tells us that it is time to gather our resources and learn as much as we can - for that is what will bring us success!

Thucydides embodied many of these traits as well and believed that his work should focus on facts rather than grand story-telling. This episode tells the story of his life and how he helped shape history as we know it.

In today’s episode we examine the Nine of Pentacles and the Harvest Festival Haloa. As a warning, we do talk a lot about phallic imagery near the end of the episode.

The Nine of Pentacles signifies the end of our hard work, and the wisdom and satisfaction it has brought us. There is a responsibility to manage your success and new wealth, but also remember to take time for self-care. The Nine of Pentacles is really a balance between material accomplishment and spiritual wisdom; a combination of having wealth and taking pleasure from it.

The Haloa was a harvest festival in Attica where they would celebrate the gods Demeter, Persephone, and Dionysus. This was primarily a woman’s festival, however, men would celebrate at home in honor of Dionysus.

In today’s episode we examine the Eight of Pentacles and Hephaestus.

The Eight of Pentacle talks about hard work and dedication, as well as mastery of a skill. It has a man, who is a blacksmith, working on his craft and what he has thus accomplished is displayed in front of him. The eight tells us that the work you put in will be rewarded in the end; and implies a sense of financial and material security, if you remain committed to your task.

Hephaestus is the god of the forge, metallurgy, blacksmiths, and fire. He served as the blacksmith of the gods and made all of their weapons, which is why his attributes include a hammer, anvil, and a pair of tongs.

In today’s episode we examine the Seven of Pentacles and the goddesses of Childbirth: Eileithyia and Heqet.

In the Seven of Pentacles we see a man who is deciding if it is the right time to harvest what he has cultivated, or wait and possibly repeat higher/more rewards from his efforts. This is not a time to do more work, but to wait, reflect, and assess the situation you have spent so much time on.

Eileithyia is the Greek goddess of childbirth; she assists women with childbirth but she can also delay it, which we see in two of today’s myths.

Heqet is the Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility, and she is also associated with the annual flood season of the Nile. Heqet is depicted as a frog with a woman’s body.

On today's show we examine the Six of Pentacles and Hospitality through Xenia.

The Six of Pentacles reminds us to be generous with our time and money, but not so much that people become dependent on you or you would lose your wealth.

Xenia is a guest/host relationship and we look at two stories that exemplify this: Baucis and Philemon from Ovid's Metamorphoses, as well as Diomedes and Glaucus' encounter in Book 6 of Homer's Iliad.
