BTW 28: Ace of Swords – The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off

Welcome back to Between the Worlds, Season 3! This season we’re tackling the suit of swords, which deals with two basic themes: truth and conflict. In this episode we discuss the Ace of Swords, going deep into the mythology of the Arthurian Legends, thunder gods, fairy women, gifts from the underworld – AND how all this relates to making choices and finding your life's purpose. We can't wait to get back into the magic with you! 

P.S. We also give a brief note about the end of our old podcast, Strange Magic. If you're interested, you can read the full statement below.

STATEMENT ON THE END OF STRANGE MAGIC

We know there have been a lot of rumors flying around about the end of our old podcast, Strange Magic. Thank you for being willing to hear our perspective. CLICK THIS LINK TO READ OUR FULL STATEMENT. 

Strange Magic was a thing of beauty. We appreciate our listeners' patience, wisdom, grace, humor and support as we navigate this challenging situation together. You give us life. We're hoping that this statement puts an end to the "niche drama" and allows all of us to move on in peace.  Onward!
