As the movement for collective liberation grows and we bear witness to the death throes of Empire, how can we collectively meet this chapter - and each other - with responsibility, care, and steadfastness?

Sarah consults with her Spirits to conduct a tarot reading for herself and the global community of T4ET listeners. Tune in as she discusses navigating intracommunal harm in movement spaces, the stories that keep us trapped, and the role of relational repair in dismantling systems of oppression.

In observance of Black History Month, Sarah dedicates this episode to all the Black spiritualists, hoodoos, conjurers, healers and medicine keepers who, despite everything, keep the tradition and the magick alive. You deserve the world. One day, may the world deserve you.

In the wake of her personal Tower season, Sarah takes a silent retreat in Joshua Tree, CA to get right with the Spirit of Justice. Pulled straight from the archives of Sarah's audio journal, she shares her reflections on spiritual justice, ancestral intervention, and the unchecked violence of white supremacy as she process the gap between the justice she deserves and the justice that's materially available to her.

Sarah returns to the podcast with the reintroduction of Interludes, a segment designated for tarot-adjacent topics and conversations that inform her craft and the practice. In this two-part conversation, she is joined by her partner, Kimi Mojica (pronouns: they/she), to discuss spiritual companionship, karmic entanglements, and the radical act of witnessing.

In part 2, Sarah and Kimi unpack the Dharma of tarot as they discuss the power of choice, what it means to bear WITHness, and the parallels between the life and story of the Buddha and the archetypal story of the Fool's Journey.

FURTHER READING:

Some seasons are for f---ing around, but Judgment is when you get to find out! Sarah begins this episode with a firm call-in as she contextualizes this archetype in a conversation about Juneteenth, economic justice, community care, and reparations as a form of spiritual work. She then goes on to discuss the relationship between accountability and reciprocity, the difference between review and rumination, escaping indecision purgatory, and everything else that goes down at the center of the crossroads.
