Episode #202: Tarot Lessons: The Suit of Wands Pt. 4
De'Vannon Seráphino: [00:00:00] That's all I wanted to say on that.
All righty. So now we have the page of Wands looking at so stylish and profiles with his, like fedora on with the feather. Now this court here, this world court here, the wands is what's known to be the most fashionable, the most outgoing, the most social, that sort of thing. Even the page is looking like he's dressed to, to slay whenever he steps out.
This is Aries. This is a Cardinal sign, which is the beginning of Spring planet Mars from astro style.com. The page of Wands brings a sense of discovery and possibility into your life when this card appears. You may feel inspired to start something new, even if you don't know exactly what that something is yet, although there are other cards that [00:01:00] speak of ideas and potential.
What makes the page of ones unique is that it points to the inspiration that lies within you. You probably aren't feeling struck by something external you encountered. Instead, you might be pondering an abstract concept. There's likely to be a feeling of potential that has yet to be made concrete.
The Page of Wands encourages you to embrace this new energy without taking things too seriously or forcing it into action before it's ready. This is a time to follow the flow rather than push yourself to come up with hard plans. Like other page cards. The page of Wands can be a bringer of good news. So all pages have an influence of air.
The pages have an influence of air. The Knights fire, the Queen's Water, the King's Earth. So the page of wands is fire. So what you have is air influencing fire. And why that is is 'cause the pages, [00:02:00]even though it might be a fire, an earth, or a water sign, all represent like a mental challenge. Like they're always on the quest to learn.
The Knights are always. In action. So that's why every night is influenced by fire. The women folk are more like emotional, like in touch with their emotions and things like that, which is a positive thing. That's why every queen has water and the men earth more grounded and settled and stable.
Providing that structure from which our our family and our lives and our community build is really built on top of the men. Like, and that's just what it is or that masculine energy, however it is that you wanna present it. And so and so I like what they're saying in here about how like, is it, it is not necessarily something external. See, like the ace of wands is like when God stuck his hands through the clouds and everything back in that other card that helped you. This [00:03:00] here is at a point where you've taken that thing God put inside of you and you're yet working with the Lord now and then.
So I don't like the whole follow the flow thing. You wanna follow God's flow, like follow the flow. Who's, what flow are you following? I always like to be very specific about what's leading me, where guiding me, where what's talking to me. I don't just let the night take me where it wants to. I don't just follow the flow, know what is trying to deal with me.
Say I can be loose, have a good time, but not too damn loose now to a point. So, so indeed you already have come all the way from the ace of one, so the 10 of one. So you not like brand new. I always liken this to like, say you started off at a law firm, ACE of Wands made it to the tent of wands, then you made partner.
So a page of wands would be like becoming partner or getting a promotion of any career on a job that you're already there. It's like you were advancing in an area you [00:04:00] already had skill in, so to speak. 'cause you're already well in the flow of that.
And so,
but since I'm coming at this from like a spiritual element angle, this whole from the Ace of Ws to the King of Wands, let us talk about the page of wands. From the aspect of like searching for God, spiritual enlightenment, trying to sort yourself out spiritually. And what the Holy Ghost brought up to me was Matthew chapter 12, verse 42, which says, the Queen of the South shall rise up in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
So what Jesus is talking about is that this is talking about Bathsheba, the Queen of the South who came to visit Solomon to hear his wisdom. So when people get [00:05:00] ready, and this is like associated with being like a traveler's car too, 'cause he ain't at home, he out in the field with his staff out there in the desert really.
And I do love me a good desert. The Queen of the South did the thing to be, to have less because when you travel you don't really have all your things with you. So it's kind of a like refined state to live in. Travel is looked at as this luxurious thing or whatever, but you ain't gonna never have as much with you as you do at home.
So you have to actually do function with less than what you're accustomed to, which is why these pages always look so like reduced down. But you're going, you're letting go of your creature comforts like that to go and learn more. So while you're going to learn, be sure that you're taking trips to learn spiritual things too.
Be they acid trips, be they [00:06:00] Whatever kind of trips, a physical trip going to do some sort of psychedelic thing. Always co caution you to take the Lord along with you in two psychedelic circles. If you're going to go, don't let some teacher just come in there and teach you, claiming to call upon the spirit. Find out which spirit they are talking to.
I have known people in shamanic spaces to pray the devils. All kinds of things. You need to know who these people claim to be drawing power from. I only deal with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. Not everybody in spiritual circles is like that. Especially once you get outside of the church and even inside the church.
You got devils in the church too. You need to know who you're dealing with and what kind of entities they call themselves calling upon, and probably quite in fact are calling upon because you need to be sure you align with that. And so, so be sure you search for the Lord. Because what this is saying here in Matthew 12 is that this [00:07:00] woman who was not of the nation of Israel went well out of her way to come hear what thus sayeth the Lord.
All right? And you. And be sure that all of your reaching and getting and traveling, that you may include the Lord and make him your priority. It's a sad case when somebody has traveled the world or put all kinds of resources and time and energy and money in all manner of things. It's a learning and seeking all kinds of knowledge and wisdom and can't tell me who like Samson and Delilah is from the Bible or who can't like, or even if they have memorized the Bible.
'cause it is possible to know Bible stories and not care about the Lord at all. So be careful with, with your pursuit of knowledge. Be sure you include the Lord in Matthew 10. In verses five through 10, it says, these 12, Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, go not into the way of the Gentiles and in into any city of the Samaritans.
[00:08:00] Enter you not, but go rather to the lost sheet of the house of Israel. And as you go preach, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead. Cast out devils freely have received, freely give. Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor script for your journey.
Neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves for the workman is worthy of his meat.
I here Jesus is telling them, and I'm getting ready to get on like this topic of like how preachers like to charge these ridiculous, like they call them honorariums, 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, $50,000. They come and preach a sermon, not to mention the first class, air, flights, hotels, and all the bells and whistles and embellishments.
So this is like a, a, a, a person traveling for the purposes of spirituality the way that I'm reading this right now through the Holy [00:09:00] Ghost, okay? And this came up in my spirit, man, because Christ said here freely, you have received, freely give. They were not, he didn't, he wasn't at this point sending them out into the Gentiles.
Okay? He was sending them to other Christians, other believers. Okay? So they should have been taken care of in the way that they would do it.
Like say in the, in the olden days, the prophets who raised me I have spoken her name before. She's in the, the front of my book and all through my book, the prophet is Dorothy, Dorothy Nelson, evangelist Dorothy Nelson. She had missionary Dorothy Nelson, whatever you wanna call her. The woman had like all the gifts the spirit.
Very, very powerful before the Lord. And she taught me much. And I sat under her leadership for, for, for several years before I before I went to the Air Force. And a couple of [00:10:00] years after that and and, and everything and and, but when, when they went to go run revivals and things like that, they made it a point to not charge people to go.
And they said if the Lord sends them to go, they go and they would raise like a speaker's offering or something like that. And once they got there, they would probably stay at the house or the home of the the host minister. And they saved cost that way and then got to get a little bit closer and talk with the other preachers.
But the point is, when the body of Christ is going to minister onto the body of Christ, you should not be charging a minimum rate if you're going to go do it. And freely you have received this word, this message freely we're supposed to go give it out. This is what was demonstrated to me growing up. The same thing that Jesus is teaching, teaching these people here.
Now see, there's a difference in between. I'm gonna go, 'cause the Lord said go and he's gonna work it all out, even if we don't have any money. And he always [00:11:00] did for these prophets and these preachers now. But there's a difference between let the congregation blessed me with what God sees fit versus I'm not gonna come unless you pay me.
Okay? Say that again. There's a difference in between. I'm gonna come minister and preach unto you, even if you pay me nothing, because this is the will of the most high. And if You'all wanna raise me an offering and they always did, you know that I'm gonna take that. If not, the Lord will raise up deliverance.
Payment for me from somewhere else is I'm always gonna be taken care of because everything comes from the Lord versus I won't even show up unless you can afford my honorarium. Okay? Unless you can at least pay me this amount of money. This is my minimum, or otherwise I'm not even coming. That's two different attitudes.
And the Lord is not pleased when people put a dollar sign on the word of God like that. 'cause see, the word could have been preached by these preachers without the first class fights, without the luxury [00:12:00] hotel. So fine dining and all the myriad of tinkering bells and whistles and things that these preachers would set in church and boast about in the days that they did when I did attend church.
Now the, the converse of this is like in Luke 22 in verse 36, and Jesus said unto them but now he that has the purse, let him take it. And likewise his script. And he, that hano sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. Well, he was getting ready to be crucified, and so his disciples was getting ready to go outside of the body of Christ and deal with people.
So he was telling them to strap up because you're not gonna be taken care of the same way as you would have and as you were supposed to when you're going to like from church to church or from home of the believer, the home of the believer, as it were back in those days. So it made logical, logistical, like, pentacle like sense like terrestrial sense.
Like you gotta get your, like physical [00:13:00] affairs in order because these people ain't gonna necessarily be as open to you now. But even so, there's a huge issue with, with these preachers and this idea of them where they wanna act like the world when it comes to like running their church like a business chart.
Paying people like a CEO Fortune 500 salary, charging the same thing as a public speaker would. But then when it's something that's not money related for them, then suddenly it's too much like the world and then they don't want to do it. God has caught this hypocrisy. He sees it and he will deal with it.
He's going to tend to it. I say, okay, Yahweh, the Lord almighty know is telling me he is going to tend that it's hypocrisy because it makes the church look bad. But the Lord has not told these people to. To have this double standard. Now, as you [00:14:00] can't say we don't like you to, I don't know, get an abortion or two men can't get married, but I'm not gonna come preach unless you pay me $50,000 and fly me in on the private judge and everything because I should be paid as much as my secular colleague.
When it's convenient, then they want to profiteer from it. But when it's, it's something they feel like they can control and dominate and belittle someone through, then suddenly you can't be secular. The Lord has seen this double standard and he will deal with it, that the appointed time, everybody's dirt gonna come to the light and everybody's gonna be dealt with for whatever kind of standard.
Jesus said, whatever measures you meet out, that will be measured back to you, whatever measures you meet out, that that's gonna come back round to you. And that's just what it is.
Now, I had mentioned LSD earlier in particular, of all the psychedelics that [00:15:00] I have come across, that I have done it in the psychedelic circles that I have run in, that one seems to be one of the least used. People do a lot of shrooms, a lot of ketamine, a lot of don't do like their ayahuasca trips and all these different things.
But LSD is a rough one. And why that is is because you gotta go through like a well, it feels like a,
it kind of feel like just, just, just hell sometimes the, the, the way, like the transformation and all of that, it kind of feels like a in-between kind of, it feels very uncomfortable whenever I take LSD for like a hot second before I get into that whole like, euphoric aspect of it. But I like to look at that as all the bad the, well, some of the bad stuff that I don't need coming out.
Like, like, like maybe the Holy Ghost is reaching inside in me and wrestling with the things I've [00:16:00] been praying for God to deliver me from whatever that might be. But it's not, with LSD is not just like you drop the acid and then sunshine and rainbows and all of that. There's a, there's a point where you gotta go through like a gauntlet and it feels like shit.
Okay. It is so uncomfortable. But I, but this looks like it sounds like a microcosm for life though, is it not? You have to. How does the Bible say weeping may endure for a night with joy cometh in the morning and after the rain comes a rainbow. You can't expect all the peaches and the cream and all the flowers without none of the mud and the dirt and all of that.
That's unrealistic the gain from LSD because of how powerful that particular potion is. And I keep telling y'all, LSD to me ain't nothing but the Holy Ghost in a bottle child. Like, I, like, I feel the presence of the most high God in a, [00:17:00] in like a unique kind of way whenever I'm on LSD. And it has been that way since I started taking it.
And um,
and um, and and it's like, so I encourage y'all to, to not run from that. 'cause I think some people run from that like uncomfortable feeling. 'cause it's not like taking ketamine or like two C or like Molly where you might have like the come down after and some of those things I just mentioned even have a come down with them actually.
Actually those don't. So you pretty much just do your bump and you like woo-hoo and all of that. LSD ain't like that. You gotta like struggle to like to get into that, and if you got any kind of evil around you, them witches and shit, them, they working against you and everything like that the devils that follow them in there 'cause you got so much deliverance.
God really can work a strong deliverance for you through this. So [00:18:00] check with your doctor. Be sure you can handle LSD and all of that. And start with small doses and just see pray fast. Read your Bible first. Be sure that the Lord is calling you to this particular medicine because it is, it is, it's, it's worth going through the temporary discomfort that, I don't know, I lose track of time, but it's like a good 10 to 15 hour high.
I couldn't have been uncomfortable more than like 30 minutes to maybe like an hour, maybe hour and a half. And in exchange for that, I get like a whole 10 or 15 hours of like a glory. Okay. How is that not like this life though? We come through this life and it is what it is. The good, the bad, the ugly. But if we could make it through, then the Lord said, we will get a reward.
And that reward is eternal. I really, it really looks like, it's kind of like this microcosm of going through temporary trials through life for these blissful rewards that outlast the length of the trial and [00:19:00]then going through life in total, and then getting heaven If you accept Jesus Christ and can stand before the Lord with a clear register under the blood of the lamb and you get like heaven forever.
So, LSD is a very heavenly drug to meet. Really, really is. And those of you who have run from it, I I ask you to, to understand how the devil would not want you to pursue that. There's a lot of freedom and liberation. The Lord has worked me out of all kinds of things, which I have covered in previous shows, and I have grown so much closer to him.
It has it has helped to open like my vision and things like that. LSD is worth the, that, that, that fight you have to go through. Anything worth it is, look what good are psychedelics when it's convenient. Okay? I'm always gonna throw my John Wick at you eventually. What good is psychedelics when it's convenient?
Okay,[00:20:00]
next we have the night of Wands, Sagittarius, some say Leo, whichever one works for you. Sagittarius makes it mutable. The end of fall Leo would be a fixed sign in the middle of summer Planet Jupiter. If it were Leo, we'd be talking about the sun. So from asho style.com the night of Wands represents showing up to life with confidence, courage, and an adventurous spirit.
This card is all about action. This court card commonly appears when you're feeling positive energy and things are about to start unfolding at an accelerating pace. The night of Wands delivers motivation and focus, so any action you take now may produce long lasting results. You're encouraged to keep things moving, especially when the, especially when the signs of success are favorable.
Like other court cards, the night of wands can sometimes [00:21:00] refer to a person. When that's the case, it often refers to an adult male with a charismatic, charismatic, free spirit.
See this, this is one of those cards like that were to come up and like, so you had like a yes no question. This would be like a yes, like a go on ahead and move forward with it. Type of a vibe here and a type of an energy as well as spirit coming forth from this card is a very much like, can-do attitude,
but just like, just like it's about taking more risks and stuff like that too, so it's about that. I would, I would still encourage you more still
to, to, as you're on your spiritual journey, 'cause this is what this is talking about, is getting uncomfortable. Getting uncomfortable. Unlike the page, [00:22:00] this knight has this armor on. It might be a sharp look, but it's heavy. It's a burden to be born and so, so get uncomfortable. The Lord says in his scriptures, gather my saints together onto me.
Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. What a covenant with me by sacrifice means at some point you have to get uncomfortable to follow the Lord. Okay? It is not about comfort like that. He not gonna have you miserable and tor torture. Nothing crazy. He ain't gonna never put more on you than you can bear.
But we have to watch how we view the things that we go through. 'cause it might not be as terrible as our mind is making it out to be a real letting Lucifer trick us into thinking that it is. So we have to watch our perspective on the trials and tribulations that come upon us to be sure that we're not trying to play God about it, but gather my saints together onto me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
This is what a saint is, is somebody who has followed the Lord [00:23:00] accepted Jesus. And not who the Catholic church said they can call somebody a saint or whatever. But if that person did not make a covenant with the Lord by sacrifice before the Holy Ghost, they ain't no saint. You don't need a human to say, this person's a saint.
You're one if you're serious about God and you're willing to follow Christ and make a covenant with the Lord by giving up whatever he tells you to give up, that makes you a saint. And that's all that there is to it. And we gotta I rebuke that gatekeeping spirit within the Catholic church where they try to own shit that's not theirs to own and then try to divvy it out according to their specifications.
But the Lord has not spoken through those people. Not like, though he has not. No, he has not.
And I'm gonna deal, but I'm gonna deal with that Catholic church later on at a different a different lesson. I'm going to teach because see, just 'cause things go for a while, that don't mean [00:24:00] God necessarily approves of. And it does not matter how popular the organization, the person or whatever, or how rich or how famous.
It don't matter. God is not a micromanager actually. And he will just let things go, give people a chance to turn and repent. But my God in heaven, when he decides to strike or act against something or somebody who, and then it is too late. Like, like it, like, but what did Christ say that gave you space to repent and you didn't?
And I'm going to come at you with a sword in my mouth. Like, you don't want the lamb of God to talk against you or to speak against you. You can't escape him. And so, so it doesn't matter how long some organization or entity has been there, it does not make it righteous. It does not make it good. It does not make it holy.
It does not mean that it is approved of the Lord, be it a church, a denomination, a priest, a Pete, preacher or whatever. So longevity that you can't judge holiness or righteousness by that Uhuh. You gotta be before the most high God so he can show you what's what [00:25:00] and what ain't.
But this card here is about moving forward despite new burdens that you have, that you didn't have before. Thank you Jesus. Because like I said, this armor is here now, but this armor was not, it's not on this page now. He's now this, now this knight though was moving faster than the page could have on foot, even though he's also burdened down.
'cause now this knight has a horse. So it's interesting how that goes. The Lord has given us more utility. Okay. And more movement, but as they say, heavy as the head that wears the crown sort of thing. As we get these promotions, this is a promotion from a page. We got new headaches and new burdens to bear with these blessings.
Every blessing has to be maintained, whatever it is, whether there's a house, a wife, whatever, there's maintenance involved. But we still moving forward anyway. And we had been taught by our father how to balance it out, even taught by God how to balance [00:26:00] it out. He still looked balanced and everything. He's got the classic salamanders, which has to do with shadow work in the court cards here, so I'll talk about later.
But, but he's, he's happy, he's adjusted to his new burdens and and he's gonna do just fine, as will you.
The queen of wands. We have water influencing fire here because every queen represents water as well as explained earlier. And so the zodiac sign here is Sagittarius. The modality is mutable because Sagittarius happens at like the end of fall. Planet is Jupiter from astro style.com reading. The queen of wand is passionate, ambitious, and courageous in the pursuit of her dreams.
Her unflappable spirit is one to admire. When this, when this court card shows up, you are ready, willing, and able to [00:27:00] take charge of your life. The Queen of Wands is a sign that you can move mountains and look good while you do summon your moxie because you have the capacity to embody this energy. Even if you've never tackled a challenge like this one before, like other court cards, the Queen of Ws may present a person in your life.
This indi, this the Queen of Ws may represent a person in your life. This individual may be a mature, paternal or maternal person who is outgoing, a natural leader who you can count on to have your back
when I was, when I was praying about how to deal with this queen queen of wands here. This is a very nurturing card. Even though she sets as a boss, you have her little black cat there representing like the shadow aspect of this because of, of the, of the shadow work element. Involved in even the, the suit of fire here.
Okay? This is about shadow work too. [00:28:00] Because we have a sunflower up here and then we have a black cat down here. You can't in this life, have like light without dark. It's just not gonna go that way. So this here is a gut check on re realistic expectations. Now she's sitting here as a queen and the cat is not evil, just, it's just the dark color of it just represents like the shadow aspect of things.
And we have to turn to our shadow, embrace it, yet disown it at the same time. Now, we don't want to cave the shadow or act like we wanna do those sorts of things, but hey, this is a problem that I have. I'm gonna let my, I wanna work with God to overcome it. But don't let your mind be alienated from those you hang out with consistently.
There's several scriptures, I believe that in the Hebrew Bible that talk about this, this not being alienated from people who you hang out with, like in your mind. So this is like just sleeping with people to [00:29:00] have sex. You don't really give a fuck about them. You're not in love with them or anything like that.
Just hanging out with people who you don't like hanging out with people who you're tired of hanging out with them, but you're just still letting them drag you along to the club or the concert or whatever, and you're like over them. But you won't be honest and say, so is incongruent dishonesty? Like you'd rather be across town over here, but you're still hanging out with these people even though nobody's forcing you to do it.
The Lord actually doesn't like that. And this, and this card here is about being balanced in your emotions. And she, and this queen will direct her attention towards whoever, whoever presents. And she will show them love and beauty and everything like that. And her mind is with them as well as her heart.
It's about being fully present when you're dealing with somebody, okay? And really showing them love and not being scattered in your brain, okay? In your or and or in your intentions towards somebody either. So one thing that I love that [00:30:00] God has used to balance the scale is because there's so many different people in this world and we don't need to get that close to everybody.
And we could do business with just about anybody as long as they're honest. But sometimes let us consider our social battery. 'cause this, this world court here in the W ones, all of these people who are very social, from the page to the king. So I like to use things like, okay, so like say there, there's the Parlor social app, there's meetup dot com and everything like that that you can use so that you don't get into trouble with God about being fake, about like your intentions with people just to like go hang out and chill for a little bit, then go home.
I go wherever else. So sometimes we might like some social interaction, but we don't necessarily have a whole group of people to hang out with consistently like that. And maybe we don't have the social battery for that. 'cause you can go on something like the Parlor Social app, which is what I use. They have a litany of, of a events [00:31:00] that, a place that I would've gone to anyway, like New York Fashion Week or certain clubs and bars, comedy clubs, arcades and all kinds of things.
I'm all like museums even. I'm all like, alright, this is, this is what I was gonna go to anyway. So going to the days where you have to sit around hoping one of your friends calls you to go somewhere or something like that, man, bro, you could just like join one of these apps. Parlor costs like 40 something dollars a month.
But Meetup is like free. Same vibe. It's just a different level. Like Parlor is very like curated. I'm saying I like that. It's very curated and you can go hang out, get your social battery fulfilled and whatever it is that you're trying to do without any, like, say obligations to make these people your besties.
And then everybody's mutually respectful and rub positive energy off on each other. And then you go your separate ways. So it's [00:32:00] about telling yourself the truth about what you actually want and extracting the essence out of it. And say, like with me and Jelly Donut, it's like, it's better for me to just like, and I do this sometimes just to go get me a jar of the damn of like a, a low calorie, sugar free version of like the strawberry or raspberry jelly rather than to get the, the whole fucking donut.
That's really what I'm after is the feeling inside of it. Okay. So if I can discard the bread just tell myself the truth. I can save myself time, money. 'cause I can get a whole jar of jelly for what one fucking donut calls here in Manhattan. So, so,
and some of these social events are like at home. Some people I know run like in-home things where it'd be be like a dinner. It's, it'll be like on Eventbrite and things like that. And you go sign up, you go have a cute little in-home thing, and then there's that if you like something more intimate and personal and private, more like that.[00:33:00]
But it's, it's, it's available to you. And these are all things a nice queen of wands would do. Socialize and definitely network. The Parlor app and even meet up, especially Parlor app is very networky. It's very about networking and and and the queen would do business but, but only very few, if any besides her mate.
Her king is gonna be like one that she, lets get too close to her crown. Okay. Because as you go higher in life, you gotta close that circle around you. And apps like this can help you to do that. And you won't feel like you've suddenly stripped yourself dry of all your social network of certain promotions that come upon you quickly.
And certain sudden elevations could cause you to come out of agreement and alignment with the people who you've been close to for a while. Instantly. It depends on what it is. And we can't sacrifice our future. We're trying to hang on to the past. Oh, but no. But apps like these, you can go and still socialize [00:34:00] but not have like a commitment to make this person, to pull them into like your inner circle of friends.
That must be very coveted. Restricted thing you do is to, to have somebody in your life who feels like they can call upon you regularly to go to the movies and hang out or something like that. 'cause that's a different level of energetic exchange to deeper intimacy. And it will begin to change you one way or the other when you have somebody that close to you.
And that's not an ugly thing, but you gotta be mindful of who you're letting, get that close to you and prayerful and let them go if you need to. But as Solomon said, there's a time to gather and a time to scatter. So this, you're talking about after scattering, gathering wisely and slowly use these apps, these new social apps to, to socialize with people that way.
Mm-hmm. And and keep your crown protected because you got some crown snatchers out there.
Then this brings us [00:35:00] to the king of Wands. Hmm. Said here, looking so posh and so dignified. This is also Sagittarius slash Leo in the fall, Jupiter, or middle of summer sun. If you wanna go on the Leo side of that. The first element was Sagittarius, which I just explained. And Leo is a fixed sign occurring in the middle of summer.
Now breeding from astro style.com. The king of Wands is they call to step into leadership, use your skills to guide others, and develop bold strategies to get the job done. The last card of the wand suit, the king shares the strong spirit and leadership of the Queen of Wands King. Support wisdom or credibility that's earned over time.
They are the adults in the deck of tarot in favor, a mature approach. This card prompts you to be self-assured. You have a great deal of command over the situation. Perhaps more than you realize. [00:36:00]Trust yourself. If things are adrift, you may need to step up and take charge of the catch. To maintain authority, you'll need to walk your talk.
Credibility is everything. Get the job done with confidence and mastery. Reach out to experts where your own skillset falls. Short leadership doesn't mean that you do it all yourself. The king of Ws can be an encouraging message that your hard work is paying off and you may see a boost in your status soon as with other court cards.
The King of Ws can represent someone in your life. This person may have a compelling presence and strong command of the situation. A charismatic alpha type with a forward thinking vision could provide inspiration and direction. I'm reminded of a quote that media queen from the Supergirl series told Supergirl when she was trying to be too damn much and she told her you don't have to do everything.
You don't have to do everything all at once. You don't have to do everything, and you don't have to do everything all [00:37:00] at once because you're actually not God. It doesn't matter how strong you are, how alpha male we might be, our alpha female, or whatever the case might be. You got limitations of where you fall short.
Like they're saying here from Asho style. You gotta reach out for help and then pray. The Lord sends you people to actually help you with what you're trying to do, who you can trust and I love, and this again is earth influencing fire. 'cause every king. And all the tarot represents like Earth and all, all, all the court card kings represent earth.
Because men provide like the stability, the authority and all of that. Like, like it was saying, king, support, wisdom and credibility. A strong spirit of leadership. And I love how it talks about like confidence and mastery and credibility. Ain't nothing like a man, like the Bible talks about how, how we, we gotta be able to walk through even our own house with [00:38:00] integrity, which means when ain't nobody else looking and the Lord is looking at us, we have to be the same person when we're by ourselves before the Ancient of Days.
And there are no secrets. Not before the Lord. There's no such thing as a secret. Really. Secrets don't exist, y'all, everything is known. Um
hmm. Everything is known. So, Hmm.
And so, so we have to have that sort of honor about us, that in private we act like we do in person. And a king is cold for that sort of thing. Our names have to be above our reproach. That we won't be perfect now, but there's no need to get caught up in some scandalous and non foolery. Okay? So scandalous foolery that we should not have been caught up in, in the first damn place sort of thing.
Or something that a king should see [00:39:00] coming. He's not about the business of making the, the mistakes of Paige or a knight would. He should be past that already. But shit, you fuck up, you go to the Lord, you get it straightened out. But we, we, we don't want to be making those kind of fuck up now.
But shadow work is both in this card. We saw it in the Queen with her black cat in the page with his black salamanders. And he has his little black salamander here and other, and the salamander up here and like that. I think that like fire line thing. So why is this? Because this is due to the fact why darkness would show up in a suit of cards that all has to do with fire and light is because fire, fire illuminates the night.
Okay, you're gonna go into your shadow doing shadow work. You gotta take the fire and the light of the Holy Ghost, okay? And they're to burn brighter than your issue so that they don't devour you. This is why I was telling you have to let God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost show [00:40:00] you who you are, guide you through your shadow work, deal with them devils and things like that.
Cast them out in the mighty name of Jesus so that you don't have to struggle with that stuff anymore. And like the queen, very social dude but a boss tight close circle. He's not trying to let everybody get near his crown and everything like that, but knows how to go out there and do business.
Delegate authority as well as accept help is the king of wands here now. And in your spiritual journey is the same thing. You have to be a king about the way you carry yourself. Your integrity, your spiritual reputation is a thing. Now, what does God say about you? What does the devil say about you? And there's a scripture in there when the sons of Skiva were trying to cast out devils.
And they had not been sent by Christ to do so. That demon spoke to them through the human it had possessed and said, Paul the Apostle, I know Jesus. I know, but who are you? [00:41:00] See? And then that demon proceeded to whip they ass is what happened because they were not sent to do that. But what that means is that, and I've told y'all before, the spirit world has a, I would just say an interest in humanity.
And so they, they, some of us stand down to them and they tend to know who we are and they tend to come around. So, so if God were to look down upon you, what is your reputation before the Lord? What does he have to say about you? We have to be concerned about this sort of thing. And the king is, has supposed to have a good reputation.
We don't want to fool with a dishonorable king, somebody caught in some scandals, somebody who lies and doesn't tell the truth like what they're saying. That astro style here, you gotta be confident with your head held high, okay? And walk the talk when you're a king. 'cause the queen on down and everybody else is looking.
When us to guide them [00:42:00] first through our example of how we live then by what we teach and say.
And having said that, I've said all I have to say the references for Astro style and Wikipedia and everything will go in the show notes. I will release this in parts as I do, I always have a lot to say about so many subjects. And so I'm just gonna take my good sweet time as the Lord gives it to me and lay these messages and shows out and, and just have me a delicious, good knowledge feast and share it with you as I am able to and, and everything is gonna be all right.
So I just speak mercy and success and love and the fire of the spirit of God over you, the love of Christ. The mind of of of God is towards you. So I pray you turn around to God and open your arms to him and let Daddy in. Let him help you. Let him [00:43:00] show you how to be a man. Let the Holy Ghost teach you how to be a woman.
Whatever it is that you need, God has it. If your father and mother forsake you as a scripture, say, then the Lord will take you up in whatever way they might forsake you. They might quote unquote die that you know like that. I don't mean that they that like negatively, but if they're not there anymore, they might hit you or abuse you.
They might not have taught you a raise. You right? The Lord knows how to come and parent you. Some of us are well up in our ages, thirties, forties, and fifties, and still need to be parented. They're able to do that. I had to get the Lord to, to, to reparent me or actually to do it for the first time. Just a few years ago, and I'm about to be 43, God could do anything but fail.
So don't let your imagination or fear limit you. Go before the most high. God, if you feel confident, get you your own tarot deck. Start praying and everything like that over time. The Lord will make it clear. He will speak to [00:44:00] you in whatever way. Just flipping these cards around. And I believe it can help to open like your vision and things like that, especially if you're praying and fasting and reading your Bible and just, just being near things.
Everything has a spirit to it, especially drawings. And these are like tattoos, really. The tattoos or portals. These cards are portals. They really are. And so anyway. I love y'all. God bless you. We'll be praying for y'all. The website again is Sex, drugs and jesus.com, on YouTube and TikTok at Sex Drugs and Jesus Podcast.
