Chapter 3: Knocking on Forbidden Doors (... Listening to the Sky)

Speaking our truth is never easy, and speaking out for what we believe, irrespective of what another will say is harder now than ever before. Perhaps the desire for fortune, fame, and the influencers lifestyle has made the temptation to give away our power more alluring, but then what of the fear from cancel culture?

Has this ideal of popularity, people pleasing, and power corrupted absolutely? Or has it just polluted the system of balance, tipping the scales towards false honesty for likes? 

Does the power actually reside with those who use the influencers, giving them products, money, and sponsorship deals? Must be a bit like turning over the Devil Card and living the life of excess, until one day that tower of populist drivel crumbles and you find out what it is truly like, to have Babel reigning down upon you.

Truth, like karma is served by the triumvirate; first the High Priestess opens the gates, her sibling Justice brings forth the truth like a sword cutting through stone, and their brother/sister Judgement, brings down the hammer, smashing through the fakery. 

As the walls of falsehood crumble, the illusions shattered, it will be there in all its shimmering, shining, blinding light glory, the truth and nothing but the truth.

The High Priestess takes on many forms within the realms of Tarot and its adjacent family of Oracle and Wisdom cards, but there is no avoiding her, or her siblings. The balance always needs to be restored, and the Tarot is our reflection. 

Which is perhaps why the mainstream world and its notion of cancelling anything that presents an uncomfortable truth, fears this world which we of the TBH group walk in. 

One where  we walk with the truth, and deal in breaking down the fakery; we wield and walk alongside the High Priestess and her siblings Justice and Judgement, allowing them to speak and work with us to aid or at the very least dispel myths and show up the truth when it’s needed.

I guess all that remains for me to say is thank you for hopping with me in this bonus edition of the Tarot Blog Hop, as always there is a place for comments at the bottom of the post, although to be honest, I am never quite sure that its working properly.

However, it is there and hopefully you'll be able to comment. Please visit my neighbours using the Previous and Next blog links below, and scattered throughout the pages.

Until next time TBH fans.
