BTW 66: The Knight of Swords is Your Secret Weapon with Casey Zabala

People like to sneer at the Knight of Swords. "It's too aggressive, too domineering," the say. But sometimes our anger can motivate us to take necessary action. Tune in to this episode where we talk about how you can use the wisdom of the Knight of Pentacles to move forward in your life, with professional witch and tarot deck creator Casey Zabala. We discuss:

• How to recognize when you're becoming a professional witch
• Feathers as omens
• The Knight of Swords as connected to their inner truth
• Building tolerance for discomfort, passion, and conviction
• How it's not your job to please everyone
• AOC as Knight of Swords archetype
• The character in the Princess Bride who knows how to raise energy like a real witch
• Why we need to find "our thesis"
• What is missing from contemporary understandings of divination
