Wir springen ins 11. Jahrhundert, und sprechen über ein Schwert. Ein Schwert, das nach hunderten Jahren aus dem Fluss Witham in England gefischt wurde, über das wir aber eigentlich sehr wenig wissen. Wir versuchen sein mögliches Leben nachzuzeichnen, und sprechen dabei über Stahl aus Afghanistan, Schwertschmieden im Rheinland und die Bedeutung, die ein Schwert ganz abseits vom Schlachtfeld hatte. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG158: Al-Biruni und die erste Globalgeschichte – https://gadg.fm/158 - GAG191: Aethelfled - Warrior Queen of Mercia – https://gadg.fm/191 - GAG414: Ibn Fadlān und die Reise zur Wolga – https://gadg.fm/414 - GAG519: Die Warägergarde – https://gadg.fm/519 Literatur - Androshchuk, Fedir.

In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by Caroline Durlacher and Mellie Test for a conversation on staying with your magic when it's unclear, inspired by the Eight of Swords. Together they reflect on what it's like to be in a long creative process - where clarity doesn't always arrive on the timeline the mind wants - and how The Magician's Table can function as a container that supports devotion, experimentation, and self-recognition. They explore the tension between money as feedback and the ways it can distort our relationship to magic, while naming the relief and power of letting your practice be emergent: trusting transmission, honoring cave time, and creating without needing permission, justification, or proof.   Topics They Cover: Returning to The Magician's Table twice: resistance, refinement, and the intelligence of coming back Money as feedback vs. money as proof and how tying magic to material success can cloud clarity Devotion to process: luxuriating in the process, experimentation, and letting your work evolve moment to moment Cave time, invisibility, and staying with your magic during unclear or non-linear seasons Self-recognition as the true initiation and claiming you are magical without needing external validation   About Caroline Durlacher: Caroline Durlacher is a former literature & philosophy PhD candidate turned Emergent Business mentor for divergent thinkers & creative visionaries.

Welcome to ONE* Church Online! We are so excited you are here with us today for part 29 of our series "He's Coming | Letters From Jail" with our Lead Pastor Jamie Hollister!

This week, I wrapped up Three of Swords (The Ravenglass Chronicles, Part 24)and moved straight onto writing a few chapters of Guild of Assassins Book 4.It's been great shifting gears between projects while keeping the momentum going.On the reading front, I've jumped into the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride so far. Safe to say, the series has me hooked.A productive week all round—on the page and off it.________________________________________Meta-description (240 characters):Finished Three of Swords, made progress on Guild of Assassins Book 4, and started the second Dungeon Crawler Carl. A busy and productive week of writing and reading.

Andy and Dani leave medieval Europe behind and go globe-trotting… spiritually. How far off topic can Dani take this conversation? Honestly, impressively far. We discuss desert empires, lush jungles, mythologies we should absolutely know more about—and of course, the most important question of all: what is the official battlefield sandal?

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a concept called “poisoning the well” and how it can inconspicuously shape the way we interpret tarot, often before we've even given the cards a fair chance to speak, or ourselves an opportunity to be curious about the card. Poisoning the well can happen when we learn to fear a card before encountering it in its specific context, which makes anything that follows feel threatening, prophetic, or untrustworthy.In tarot, this shows up when cards like The Tower, Death, The Devil, or the Three of Swords are immediately labeled as “bad” or “painful,” which shuts down curiosity, nuance, and the ability to experience deeper reflection.I walk through the three psychological patterns that tend to fuel this kind of tarot bias:First impressions: Where early fear-based meanings stick even when a card's position or context suggests something more layered, or not so literal (e.g. Death).Confirmation bias:  Where we unconsciously look for evidence that supports our fear while ignoring nuance or other contextual factors in a spread.Emotional reasoning: Where anxiety or discomfort becomes “proof” that something bad is going to happen, rather than just useful data about what the card is activating in us. From there, I explore how poisoning the tarot well reduces a card's meaning, turns tarot into rigid labels instead of reflective tools, and leads to avoidance behaviors like reshuffling, pulling endless clarifiers, or abandoning readings altogether. While these reactions may feel protective in the moment, they ultimately reinforce fear and limit growth. Many of the cards we fear most are the ones pointing directly toward the work we need to do: attachment patterns, boundaries, grief, shame, power dynamics, necessary endings, etc.I also share a personal story (aka I talk about reading for my very religious sister) about how religious and cultural conditioning can shape tarot fears - poisoning the tarot well, and how rigid narratives around certain cards can feel genuinely destabilizing if they're never questioned. From there, I offer concrete ways to un-poison your tarot well, including identifying where your card meanings came from, working with somatic reactions instead of avoiding them, asking more specific and grounded questions, and expanding your language around difficult cards through techniques like free association.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to let tarot challenge you. When we stop deciding what a card means before we pull it and get curious about it instead, tarot becomes what it's meant to be: a mirror, an opportunity for philosophical dialogue, and a tool for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. I love when you all leave comments on Spotify or YouTube about your own thoughts on the topic discussed - so let me know your thoughts!

Join us for Purim 5786! https://curtlandry.com/register Plant a tree in Israel in honor of Tu BiShvat. Plant for hope and remembrance. https://curtlandry.com/planthope In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt talks about the biblical significance of trees and the Jewish Arbor Day, Tu BiShvat. Throughout the story of the Bible, we see a theme of three trees: The tree of knowledge in Genesis that brought death, the tree at Calvary where Yeshua brought redemption, and the olive tree in Romans 11, representing Israel and Believers who are grafted in as One New Humanity. God uses the symbolism of trees to tell the story of His people, and trees biblically and culturally in Israel represent life, resilience, and hope. When a child is born, or a person dies, it is customary to plant a tree in their honor– a testament of life and enduring legacy. Tu BiShvat, which falls on February 2 in 2026, will speak to just that: the remembrance of lives lost in war and God's promise of hope and a future, as the land that was once barren is again alive and fruitful, just as the prophets foretold. Join Rabbi and Darrell as they discuss the Swords of Iron Memorial Grove in Israel, the prophetic significance of planting olive trees, and why Purim is especially significant this year in light of current events.

Episode DescriptionFebruary 2026 continues the intense arc we entered in January, deepening our collective experience of the Wheel of Fortune. In this live tarot reading, we explore what happens when a period of exhaustion, over-analysis, and emotional saturation reaches its breaking point…and how genuine momentum becomes possible on the other side.Using a four-card spread, this forecast moves from the Ten of Swords as the month's core theme into the activating presence of The Magician, with The Moon returning as a challenge and The Queen of Wands offering a path forward. Together, these cards describe a moment where rumination has run its course and learning shifts from internal processing to vibrant, embodied engagement.February asks us to stop studying our pain and begin responding to life again. Creativity, agency, humor, and decisive action become a path towards newness and growth.Cards DrawnTheme: Ten of SwordsOof. A moment of undeniable saturation. This card marks the end of a cycle of overthinking, rumination, and psychic overload. February begins by asking: what has become too much to carry? Where has analysis, information, or suffering reached its limit?Environment: The MagicianDespite the heaviness of the Ten of Swords, the surrounding environment is charged with possibility. The Magician signals available energy, agency, and catalytic change. Engagement with the world - people, projects, conversations - can quickly generate momentum.Challenge: The MoonThe challenge is lingering too long in January's fog. While lunar disorientation was necessary last month, February asks us to stop performing confusion and start responding. Trust in motion can replace prolonged uncertainty.Opportunity: Queen of WandsCreative action, leadership, and visible engagement are supported now. This card invites confidence without rigidity, passion without over-attachment, and movement without needing full certainty. Fire warms the late winter landscape!Key Themes for February 2026* Endpoints, limits, and psychic saturation* Releasing over-analysis and repetitive suffering* Learning through action rather than theory* Creative engagement as restoration* Agency returning after collapse* Leadership, visibility, and warmth in community spacesClosing InvitationFebruary marks a shift from endurance to response. You're invited to reflect on what you're ready to put down, and where you're willing to step back into the world with curiosity, creativity, and trust. This is a public episode.

In this gripping episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed sit down with Dr. Tuvia Book, the oldest combat medic to serve in the IDF during the Swords of Iron war. Book offers a raw, first-person account of returning to service at age 55, racing into Gaza under fire with Israel's elite Palmar medical extraction unit, and witnessing both the devastation of October 7 and the extraordinary courage of Israeli soldiers and medics. Beyond the battlefield, Book describes how Israeli innovation transformed combat medicine, saving lives in minutes that once would have been lost. He reflects on faith, duty, and what it means to "walk the walk" in a moment of national crisis, while also sharing the remarkable story of how the final hostage, Rav Gvili, was located and brought home. This is a conversation about trauma and healing, darkness and light, and why the struggle in Gaza is not only Israel's war, but a global battle between civilization and a death cult. To learn more about Tuvia or to get in touch with him, go to his website today.

In today's episode, we take a practical look at the four “Three” cards in the tarot: Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups, and we explore what they reveal when viewed through an astrological lens.As tarot cards are visual in nature, we look at what's actually happening in each image, from posture to movement, color, weather, setting, and so on. From there, we connect each Three to its elemental nature (fire, earth, air, or water) and its quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) so you can feel why these cards illustrate what they do.This isn't about doing complicated calculations or turning tarot into homework. It's about learning to see what's already there in the cards, and letting that understanding quietly sharpen your readings.If you've ever felt that some cards speak more clearly than others, or wondered why similar-looking numbers behave so differently across the suits, this episode will give you a helpful way to organize what you're already sensing—without forcing anything.Grab your deck, pull out the Threes, and read along with us.

Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversalsrights activists.Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why.What We're Covering:Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess.Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning. That's an extra interpretive step you're doing in your head. With reversals, you skip that step entirely. The card does the work for you. If you're reading a Celtic Cross, that's 10 steps you don't have to take. You can spend that energy feeling into the spread instead.Reversals Reduce Reader Bias: This is huge. I've read for tens of thousands of people, and I'll admit—sometimes I've twisted an interpretation because I emotionally didn't want something bad to happen to my client. Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking.Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening.But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes. Most people come to us because something's wrong. We can't just have unicorns and rainbows. Cards have to reflect real life. And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate.Thanks for being here.

Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversals rights activists. Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why. What We're Covering: Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess. Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning.

Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking. Real Example - The Magician Reversed: Cathy did a reading for a guy making a big move—new city, new job, everything. All the cards looked great. He was prepared, his mindset was clear, everything was lined up perfectly. Then the outcome card: Magician reversed. If she hadn't been using reversals, she might have read that as "You're making this happen! Everything's great!" But reversed? Something out of his control was going to derail him. Using reversals prevented wishful reinterpretation and prompted deeper investigation with clarifying cards. Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening. But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes.

And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate. Practice Exercise: Pull the Four of Wands. Upright: celebration, connection, community, house party. Reversed: disrupted connections, cancelled celebrations, feeling separated. Pull the Ten of Wands. Upright: burden, grind culture, hustle mindset. Reversed: dropping the load, rejecting that whole "sacrifice everything for work" mentality. Creative Interpretation: Here's a cheat sheet: if you come up with a meaning that makes perfect sense and nobody's done it before, look through your deck and ask, "Does some other card already answer that question?" If not, you're onto something. The Ten of Swords giving the benediction gesture? That could be forgiveness. Reversed? "I want him dead, I want his family dead"—no forgiveness whatsoever. The point is to allow outside associations to connect with your cards. Look at a card and say, "This makes me think of . . . " and just have fun with it. Using reversals isn't about cutting corners—it's about letting the universe make decisions instead of you. It's about getting clearer, richer, more honest readings. Worth the time to learn.

Allegories. Christians love allegories! That’s a story element of having a person, place, or thing meant a a direct picture of something else, like Jesus or moral virtues. Some people think Jesus did this in parables, or C.S. Lewis did this with Narnia. Others point to Pilgrim's Progress as a prime example. Even if they're right about that, might some readers and authors focus so much on possible “allegories” that we miss great stories’ deeper meanings? Episode sponsors The Unraveling of Emlyn DuLaine by Lindsay A. Franklin The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: the Authorship has launched! Listen to last week's episode, or read the companion article.

So in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, the character Timorous represents fear and Mr. Worldly Wiseman represents worldly wisdom. In our day, distinction of genres has been muddled a bit, so we tend to regard any story with symbolic elements in it as allegorical, but it was not always this way. C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, for instance, are not allegories, even as often as they are referred to as such, and Lewis himself said as much. The parables of Jesus could be said to contain allegorical elements, some more than others, but they are not strictly speaking themselves allegories. Jesus definitely deals in the world of virtues and vices, but he is most immediately interested in the world of human beings, their hearts, their words, and their deeds. “How Not to Read the Parables,” Jared C. Wilson The reason for the long history of the misinterpretation of the parables can be traced back to something Jesus himself said, as recorded in Mark 4:10–12. When asked about the purpose of parables, he seems to have suggested that they contained mysteries for those on the inside, while they hardened those on the outside. Because he then proceeded to “interpret” the parable of the sower in a semi-allegorical way, this was seen to give license to the hardening theory and endless allegorical interpretations. The parables were considered to be simple stories for those on the outside to whom the “real meanings,” the “mysteries,” were hidden; these belonged only to the church and could be uncovered by means of allegory. How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart 1. Jesus's parables aren't just allegories Sometimes the Lord interpreted His tales this way. For example, He says the seed is like His word and different soils are like different hearers (see Mark 4:13–20; Matthew 13:18–23; Luke 8:11–15). But we may miss His main point if seek out the Secret Allegories. No less top church fathers seem to have started this trend. Famously he read many allegories into the Good Samaritan tale. But the central point is to answer, “Who is my neighbor?” At other times He simply said, “The kingdom of heaven is like…” Meaning the whole parable says something about His kingdom. What follows might be a prophecy of doom in the end times. Or it might be an illustration of human behavior fit for His reign. His parable may be about groups, individuals, morals, or salvation! In either case, “he who has ears to hear, let him hear.” 2. Pilgrim's Progress is allegory; Narnia is not Many readers fondly remember John Bunyan's classic quest tale. The allegories start simple but accessible, especially for Puritans. “Christian” is a Christian. “Evangelist” is. Apollyon is just a demon! Then as we've previously explored, the allegories get complicated. God, angels, the Bible, and Heaven are literal. So are good and evil. At one point Moses himself cameos as a Law-enforcing antihero! Altogether, Bunyan is both less and more creative than we thought. However, we needn’t impose our view of Progress For instance, many Christians learned to like Narnia by accepting the common belief that Lewis put “allegories” into his fantasy tale. Stephen recalls one article around the movie release in 2005. The writer meant well, but made up all kinds of silly “allegories.” He believed the Pevensies are apostles and weapons are prayer. Lewis himself specifically says outright that he did not do this. Aslan isn't an “allegory” for Jesus. He is Jesus, working his good will in many worlds across a fantastical barely glimpsed multiverse. One's view of “allegory” shouldn't overturn clearly stated words. Otherwise we'd all end up reading our own ideas into the Bible too! 3. Forced allegories may ruin some stories Frankly, forcing allegories into stories risks rejecting their real truth. With limited allegories, Jesus made sure His parables carry layers. With mixed/complex allegories, Pilgrim's Progress has aged well! By avoiding direct allegories, Narnia can be subtle yet also overt. And for new Christian-made fantasy, we can expect the same. Kids and grown-ups can lose themselves in the story, not pulling it apart for useful parts, but being surprised by deeper meanings. History shows this is a far more powerful way to read stories. Instead of making them into Teaching Tools, as if stuff we make up could replace God's word, stories help us see our own responses. This is a far more human emphasis closer to imagination's purpose. And for new writers out there, we encourage going deeper. Allegories look like ultimate meaning, but they're really 101 level. Example: any sword may evoke Ephesians 6. But it's first a sword. You don't have to limit this idea to the word of God or even prayer. Swords have more resonance in Scripture than just one text. They're tools of men and angels alike to defeat or restrain evil. So don't reduce the concrete object to some spiritual abstract. Really this comes down to how we see the world. Do we expect a bodiless “spiritoid” eternity? Or one where matter itself matters? Scripture promises a union of tangible New Earth and New Heaven. Ultimately our stories must hearken to this reality. So study deep! Com station Top question for listeners How do you look for deeper meanings in the Bible and stories? Next on Fantastical Truth Next week is Groundhog Day, and we've already seen this story: Your favorite Christian author, who usually talks about book updates and inspirational life anecdotes, is suddenly posting about controversial political stuff. Should readers impose “no politics! no religion!” rules on story creators who feel strongly about a topic? Or might we expect more from authors posting or not posting hot takes?

Dusty White here with Kerri for a quick 14-minute dive into something that's going to change how you look at the Aces in your deck. Here's the thing: all four Aces are cardinal. Every single one. And that matters more than you might think. What We're Covering: Why Cardinal Energy Changes Everything: Cardinal energy is compressed, explosive, immediate—like a match flaring up or an auto accident. It all happens at once. The Aces aren't subtle. They kick the door down, do their thing, and that's it. Even when they look friendly and nurturing, they're still telling you what to do. Reading the Images, Not Memorizing Keywords: Look, astrology is the measure of all energy on earth. So we can actually understand what's happening in a card by looking at the quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable), the polarity (masculine or feminine), and the element (fire, earth, air, water). The image tells you everything you need to know—you don't need to memorize a bunch of keywords from some book. Breaking Down the Four Aces: Ace of Wands (Cardinal Fire): That motivational coach energy—"Get out there and DO it!" Aggressive, invasive, passionate, physical. Ace of Pentacles (Cardinal Earth): "I provide for you. Stay here where you're safe and controlled." Nurturing but confining—Darth Vader saying "I am your father." Ace of Swords (Cardinal Air): Commanding, decisive, sometimes harsh. Luke Skywalker jumping into the abyss. Very "take this" energy. Ace of Cups (Cardinal Water): Emotionally overwhelming. The hand is offering, not commanding, but those emotions are still flooding over you. The Visual Cues: Notice how the masculine suits (Wands and Swords) show hands grasping, asserting—very in-your-face. The feminine suits (Pentacles and Cups) have supportive, cupping hands. But don't be fooled—they're all cardinal, so they're all forceful. Just one does it the hard way, the other does it the nice way, but you're doing it their way either way. This is part of a series where we're going to analyze each card based on what the image is actually showing us. If you've got questions, write me at dusty@academyofdivination.com, or come to the live Saturday class. Pull out your four Aces and let's look at what they're really saying.
