This Friday evening: Along with @goldendomeschool and other sacred artists, I'm participating in a beautiful sacred procession for the goddess of love! See below for info if you'd like to join.
************************************************
Repost from @goldendomeschool
The Golden Dome School presents "SHE HAS RISEN!" a procession for the GODDESS of LOVE on FRIDAY THE 13th in Union Square! This happening is part of the SENSE festival organized by @artinoddplaces with support from @foundationforcontemporaryarts
************************************************
GODDESS WORSHIPPERS OF NYC UNITE! The procession begins at 6pm at the corner of 14th and 8th - we will be marching a giant altar down to Union Square and proselytizing for the Goddess. If you would like to join please e-mail elizaswann@gmail.com
**************************************************
Great forces of creativity, growth, and love, great inventive imagination that has grown the diversity of life, mystery of the unfolding of form from energy, great powers of the trees and the grasses, the sunlight and the rain, great currents that move the continents and tides of the ocean, we send you love and gratitude and ask for your help. DEAR GODDESS OF LOVE - HELP US TO OVERTHROW ALL TOXIC CAPITALISTIC SYSTEMS OF GREED AND EXPLOITATION IN FAVOR OF LIFE AND LOVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL BEINGS. HELP US END ALL WAR AND ALL HIERARCHY. LOVE IS THE GATEWAY TO PARADISE. LOVE IS YOUR WAY. It seems impossible. It seems beyond human strength. Please lend us some of your power. Open our eyes and ears to inspiration. Release the obstacles that confront us, and draw in the resources, the luck, the ideas, and the energies that we need. Help us to succeed beyond our expectations for the restoration of Earth's health and bounty and the reinstatement of human harmony with all of creation. BLESSED IS LIFE AND LOVE. BLESSED AM I. SHE HAS RISEN. SHE IS LOVE. SHE IS HERE. I HAVE RISEN. I AM LOVE. I AM HERE.
*prayer based on Starhawk's BLESSINGS from her book "The Earth Path"

Thank You! Tarot for Creativity Class
Thank you to everyone who attended tonight's Tarot for Creativity class at the Pioneer Works Bookstore! I had a blast talking about tarot with you, and I can't wait to see how you bring tarot into your creative practice.
I'm so proud and impressed to see everyone dive in and offer such insightful readings. You already know what all the cards mean, and now you've proved it to yourselves.
And thank you to the Pioneer Works events and bookstore teams for hosting!
Group Reading, and Thank You
Thank you to everyone I had the honor of meeting and serving tonight at Chelsea Wine Vault's Cabernet Carnival. I love reading at events and getting to talk with so many amazing people!
A few cards kept popping up over and over, and together they're a group reading for all of us tonight. Three of Pentacles, Five of Cups, The World, Judgement.
We're all learning to honor loss while being grateful for what's still here. We're learning to work together, that truly we have to work together to get anything important done. And we're waking up first as individuals, to our own potential, and then as a collective to our combined power. We're ready to do the work and change the world.
So let's get started.

First Class and Ego Traps
I'm teaching my first tarot meetup and class in a few weeks. This is an idea that's been percolating since May, and now that it's happening I ran into a patch of my old ego traps. I set up a doc and started typing, and then almost immediately started thinking, "what do I know, who am I to try to teach tarot." All kinds of stuff to try to stay small. And I bought it!
I avoided working on my lesson plan for a few days. I even started to feel the flailing in my other readings. Like, "how do I know that's really what the High Priestess means here?" and "maybe this hit I got about family is just me projecting, and not really my intuition." So much fear and negative self-talk, and it felt so normal. Once I realized what was happening, it was pretty uncomfortable to break out of that rut. But all I can do is keep going. It doesn't feel soft and fluffy right now but I'm trusting myself.
So back to lesson plan writing! And obvs, since I'm on the Virgo cusp I'm planning the shit out of it. I'll probably end up with 20 pages of notes and worksheets and an agenda and a recommended reading list.
I'm really grateful for my teachers, for Lindsay Mack, who brought new depth to my tarot practice and introduced me to Michelle Sinnette. Michelle has taught me so much about ego, intuition, and the life of service. I'm grateful for the classes I've taken with Rachel Howe, Molly Burkett, Sarah Gottesdiener, and others, all amazing teachers who have given me inspiration to find my own path as a teacher. And I'm grateful for this community. Thank you for reading, and thank you for sharing your wisdom and work.
