Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads

Tarot Card of the Week

Smaller Hierophant from the public domain version of the W-S Tarot

July 27-August 2, 2026: The Hierophant

This week’s card speaks directly to us from his throne in the hallowed halls of knowledge, societal leadership, and spiritual authority. This is the interpreter of both current events and the Mysteries of the ancients. If he has come to offer instructions for the ultimate betterment of society, what might they be?

July 20-26, 2026: The Sun

What is happening in your life that needs wholesome sunbeams of truth shining brightly? What fears could be dispelled if only they would see the light of day? 

This week’s card indicates you have prevailed, despite a difficult time. Success and happiness are dawning at last. Are you ready to embrace them?

Knight of Cups from the Waite-Smith tarot

July 13-19, 2026: Knight of Cups

In this week that brings us the sweet mystery of the Lady Luna in Her own sign of Cancer and the start of the much ballyhooed Barbault Basket, we are visited by another Knight this week. Following on the heels of last week’s Pentacles champion, the Knight of Cups brings his message of hope and love.

July 6-12, 2026: Knight of Pentacles

At last, we are liberated from the Seven of Wands (at least this week!), and ready to move forward. But hold up. It’s the Knight of Pentacles. He’s not known for his risk-taking or quick decisions, so progress might be slow. But you can believe it will be steady. Read the rest here!

June 29-July 5, 2026: The Seven of Wands Returns

Can you believe this card is back again? What are the implications? Maybe this is an initiation or step up to a new level that matters a great deal to you. This might involve testing and trials. Is that happening in some way? Because this card has been such a frequent visitor, keep reading to find out what I did next!

June 22-28, 2026: Two of Cups

This week’s card points to the gentle energy of early love, specifically the tenderness and respect that is more than physical sensuality. In addition, it may ask us to pay attention to the wonderful friendships in our lives that have an undercurrent of attraction, but they remain chaste for any number of reasons.

June 15-21, 2026: Seven of Wands

This week’s Tarot card is a fierce friend who comes to remind you of your strength. If your cause is noble, assert your courage. Be as ready as you can and then defend what you know is right.

June 8-14, 2026: Another Encore…

Because I am away on vacation, I am repeating last week’s card. Happily, that means that the luscious, beautiful Empress remains our loving Guide for this coming week. However, the astrology is very active, so I recommend you visit our favorite astrologer and take heed.

Your Mother Is Calling You Home

Re-prioritizing our needs and our material comforts is at a critical juncture this week. Now is the time to discover and honor what rich abundance really means to us. For there are benevolent influences that offer assistance as we consider what home, security, and the principles of a mothering unconditional love mean to us.

This week we’re reminded all of us are Nature’s beloved children—every race, every nation, every gender, and every species, not just humans.

The love of one’s country
is a splendid thing.
But why should love
stop at the border?

~ Pablo Casals
