 I’m excited to announce that Divine Muses has partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every deck order!
Starting with the second edition releases of the Divine Muses Oracle, Lua Tarot, and Lua Lenormand decks last month. If you purchased a deck in July, your order went to planting a tree! This organization gives me so much hope! One of the biggest news of the year for them was their partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute to plant 3 million trees in the Albertine Rift Forest of Uganda to help protect the chimpanzee habitat!

 The Lion's Gate, a celestial stargate, is when the 2nd brightest star in the heavens, fixed star Sirius (aka our "Spiritual Sun"), aligns with Earth; and it is “activated” with the New Moon this weekend.
As I continue to read and travel through 36 Secrets, A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot by T. Susan Chang, I keep finding fascinating connections between the cards and the stars. For example: The Lion’s Gate happens during this Leo II time, the decan of the 6 of Wands “Lord of Victory” card (Jupiter in Leo).  Lua Tarot Chariot Today’s Lua Tarot “In the Card” description features The Chariot, and the charioteer is a Martinique woman wearing Madras headdress and a beautifully embroidered dress.
As I’ve written before, many of these 19th century images are often unidentified and include captions like, “Martinique Madras.” Her portrait came from a book about the French Antilles. The horses are from a British children’s weekly called Chatterbox. The original image actually depicted one horse. I added the other horse to reflect the RWS image, but here we see black and white horses that represent opposing forces, which the charioteer harnesses to propel herself forward with her purpose. |
